*TooktheBadFilmSeriuosly: As stated above, Brad Loree's performance as Michael Myers is considered by a large amount of fans to be the sole good thing in what is universally agreed on to be the worst entry in the franchise. To this day, some fans still hope that he gets a second chance to play the character in a much better Halloween film.

** Brad Loree as Michael Myers is also praised by many fans, claiming how he harkened back to Nick Castle from the original film with his performance.

* {{Sequelitis}}: This is an almost unanimously and deservedly reviled film, often ranked as the worst in the series. It's also seen as completely unnecessary, given that the ending to ''H20'' neatly wrapped things up and the writers had to go to [[AssPull extreme measures]] to {{retcon}} Michael's death.

** Music/BustaRhymes' character. Rappers usually get a pass for letting their massive egos run wild on these kinds of flicks because it's impossible to ruin a movie when it's already bad to start with, but using kung fu to lay the beatdown on a legendary and unkillable ImplacableMan like Michael Myers was definitely a bridge too damned far.

** It was originally worse; the Michael Myers in H20 wasn't actually Michael, it was an obsessive fan. Let's be glad they didn't go that far.
*** But that would have made MORE sense
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Michael Myers wasn't in the whole movie. He was there during the opening scene where he killed Laurie but the rest of the movie involved the serial killer fanatic that Myers encountered in the opening movie took his place, while the real Myers is just hiding somewhere. After he killed Laurie him passing the knife to that fanatic could be seen as his way of saying" I'm retired".
