Part 4 is great fun, Michael Myers is back & he's Awesome!!! This is actually a great sequel like the CULT CLASSIC Halloween 3: season of the witch!!! That is a BRILLIANT film & my personal best of the franchise!!! Also H20 was BRILLIANT but Halloween 2 (1981) wasn't very good just ok but pretty poor & The Curse of Michael Myers part 6 was a terrible mess some good scenes but crap really & Halloween resurrection was crap it destroyed the BRILLIANT H20 ending but Halloween 5 was pretty good So yeah not many good sequels at all only HALLOWEEN 3, HALLOWEEN 4 & HALLOWEEN H20 are great movies & of course the '78 is a CLASSIC!!! So yeah i really enjoy part 4 IT'S a great Halloween movie very fun with a great Halloween Atmosphere, just a good fun slasher flick

Ten years after his original massacre, the invalid Michael Myers awakens and returns to Haddonfield to kill his seven-year-old niece on Halloween. Can Dr. Loomis stop him? After the confusing and terrible Halloween III the Studio decided to make another Halloween movie and brought back both Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis and as good as that may sound the end result is a film where people get stabbed by shotguns and get crashed by Michael's hands, that's right this time he has become a super villain and has powers for some reason and as insane as both Halloween and Halloween II might have been they still worked thanks to good direction and a plot that made sense at least but this time? It was a simple cash grab. (3/10)

It's good but not as good as the third one or H20 but it's kinda groundbreaking that Michael Myers is back. I don't like the ending because Jamie killed his step mom to become another Michael Myers and it's a bad idea! It's okay to set up a sequal but not like that way if you ask me. This deserve to have a 6.0 rating than a 5.9 rating honestly like it's a fun movie and good. I like the story, script, and characters. I like Jamie character because she's more interesting just like Tommy Jarvis from Friday The 13th Part 4 The Final Friday (1984). It's a fun movie with good character development so is it worth a watch? YEAH!! This is my review on Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers (1988), it's a good movie.Score: 7.5/10

After the failed experiment that was "Halloween III: Season of the Witch", the series returned to its Michael Myers-based roots with this fourth installment. Unfortunately, the end result couldn't have turned out more bland.For a basic plot summary, "Halloween 4" opens with Myers having been in a coma for the ten years after the explosion that ended the second film. However, while being transferred to a new institution, Michael wakes up and begins a new killing spree, this time targeting Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), the niece of Laurie Strode.Yep, seriously...that is the plot of this film, easily illustrating the most glaring fault of this "comeback" effort: the series was creatively exhausted after "Halloween II", so all the rest is just an excuse to make some money.Add to this the fact that the movie really isn't even scary. Whatsoever. Heck, even the Friday the 13th series had 3-4 films that were decent. This one, though, does nothing to re-establish the character of Michael Myers and eventually descends into a combination of slasher (which at times is laughable) and suspense (let's just say it ain't Hitchcock). Plus, to add insult to injury, the Myers mask isn't even the old "Bill Shatner mold" from the first two, instead featuring a cheap knockoff that isn't nearly as spooky. The final nail is driven home with the most insipid, cringe-worthy ending of perhaps the entire series.About the only redeeming factor in this movie whatsoever is the performance of Harris as young Jamie. She really does an excellent job and deserves a lot of credit for creating the only human drama element in the movie at all.Thus, though this film tried to resurrect (quite literally) the character of Michael Myers, it eventually only serves to provide 90 minutes of blandness. I wasn't expecting greatness out of the third Halloween sequel, but I wasn't expecting total boredom, either, and that is exactly what I received.
