It undercuts the end of H20 in a way that cheapens that movie and cheapens her character. I'm not a fan of H20 in general but if you're going to go with that ending, be committed to it. So walking that back - and in such an incredibly lame way - is a terrible opening for Resurrection. And the Scooby Doo trap that Laurie concocts to get Michael, oh my God, who thought that was a good idea? And then to just kill Laurie off after she had achieved that victory at the end of H20? Terrible. But once that's done, the bulk of Resurrection is a goofy good time for me. I wouldn't ever try to defend it as good but I enjoy it for what it is. And I've always thought that Brad Loree was one of the best Michaels. He had the body language down better than just about any one since Nick Castle and the mask was on point too.

Killing Laurie doesn't ever sit well. Nor does Freddie yelling in Michael's face only for Michael to... walk away??? Ugh.<br /><br />However, I have thought (and wrote a post about) that if the Dangertainment stuff all happened first and THEN Michael found out where Laurie is would have played better. Have their confrontation on the roof, Laurie falls, and when Michael goes outside, SHE is gone. End movie Laurie would still be out there, somewhere, and it would have least ended on a throwback to the first film. But, oh well.Caffeinated Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116651473308629663noreply@blogger.com
