WillDraugelis’s review published on Letterboxd:
This is just a movie that was not made for me. I know a lot of people think this is a classic, with an all time character, but I disagree. First off the character of Snake, well I just never thought there was ever a moment for me to get behind him. I never even found a moment where they made him likable or even made me rooting for him to win. Which is kind of the whole point of the movie, supposed to be rooting for this redeemed character. Then the movie as a whole was just uninteresting to me and I never could get into it. I like John Carpenter, Halloween is a classic with, not one, but two iconic characters. This however, was just not a great directing job, because the movie had no flow to it. I am just not a fan and maybe they could redo it today. Maybe it would be better, but for now all we have is this bomb.
