Halloween - 4/5
Definitely one of the most memorable slasher films of all time. I like the setup of the killer as a normal kid who's born evil and kills his family. It gives the impression that anyone you meet could be this killer.
Part 2 - 4.5/5
A good natural continuation of the first movie. Though it takes a little while to get to the real action, it's worth it for the satisfying ending.
Season of the Witch - 2.5/5
An average horror movie with the Halloween name stapled to it. I heard that it's literally involved with the Halloween series because of this reason. This movie is more akin to a below average episode of book of Goosebumps than what was a great slasher series.
Even though I complained about Myers not being in the third entry, the series just should've ended with two entries. It's an ok-ish movie with the only interesting thing being the ending.
The Revenge of Michael Myers - 2.5/5
The most disappointing part of this movie is that it doesn't take advantage of the twist ending and just the same thing the previous film did more or less.
The Curse of Michael Myers - 2/5
An over complicated movie plot mixed with an average movie. Quite the unmemorable movie.
20 Years Later - 4/5
A better sequel to Halloween 2 than the other ones especially since you don't need to have watched the previous four. It follows a similar quality to the 2nd one and has a satisfying ending to boot.
Resurrection - 2.5/5
With Myers' popularity literally being cashed in, this movie tries to be self aware and funny like Friday the 13th Part 6, but fails. The only funny part is where Busta Rhymes kung fu kicks Michael.
2007 - 2.5/5
Just rehashes the first movie while making the main character more bitchy and Myers a more stereotypical killer. He's shown as being more sympathetic, but it doesn't work out especially since he kills a nice Danny Trejo. The remake honestly should've been given to Michael Bay's studio.
2009 - 2/5
More original than the previous, but also makes the main character more unlikable. You root for Michael for most of the film while the main character becomes more and more ugly personality wise. The psychic connection between them is interesting, but that's about it.

The Halloween franchise isn't that entertaining in my opinion and the only good ones star Jamie Lee Curtis.
