Still I think that Zombie did a great job of fleshing out Michael which wasn't the point of the original at all.  Hell[...] Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:29:34 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Halloween.htm#42 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Halloween.htm You know, I realize a lot of purists hated the Rob Zombie remake, but I didn't think it was so bad at all.  I don't know that it was better than the original by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought it did a few things better while the original Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:29:34 GMT http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Halloween.htm#43 http://ossuary.best-horror-movies.com/orca/topic/Halloween.htm  Now in the new movie, I liked the treatment of Laurie Strode much better.  The new Laurie seemed much more likable and believable while Jaime Lee Curtis's Laurie in the original seemed half-dead to begin with.

I can also say I like the Rob Zombie version too, he told us more about Micheal growing up then the original.
