Like I said, I haven't even seen 4 & 5. Never really had any interest, but I did catch 6 and from what I could make of it, I thought it was pretty shitty. I also saw H2O and didn't care much for that either.
As far as I'm concerned, only Carpenter's 1978 classic is a great film, with Halloween II as its worthy sequel. Beyond that, it's a franchise desperately attempting to stay alive and only doing so because of die-hard fans that believe there's more to the series than there really is. No sequel or reboot has or ever will capture the tone and atmosphere of the original film -- it is a timeless annual autumn holiday staple that can't be imitated or reinvented.
