EDIT: Oops, you said score, not soundtrack. I know they redid John Carpenters theme. From what I have heard it sounds eerie.

I knew there was a movie I wasn't thinking of that was worse than the cartoon Transformers movie. ;D

Never saw Devils Rejects and never plan to.

I haven't cared for anything that Zombie has done since he went solo. The reviews for this one are bad. Over at IGN, it got 0 stars...and the guy even admitted to liking the Hostel movies. ::)
I really don't care that he remade the film. Its not like any of the Halloween films after the first one were any good (go watch Halloween 3 if you need a refresher). I'm sure it will at least be mildly entertaining. If it is out on dvd by halloween I'll rent it.

abrannan:
The reviews are all pretty similar to one another, which is a bad sign.  If you've got diffferent reviews all picking on different parts of the movie, then there's usually a chance you'll find something moderately likable in the movie. 

Reviewer's chief complaints:

-Total removal of suspense from the "gore"
-Mysogynistic killings (guys are killed quickly, the girls are tortured over a longer period, while naked, after having sex)
-Unnecessary backstory (Michael is Evil, that's all there is to it, there should be no reason for you to sympathize with him or understand why he does what he does)
-More "Friday the 13th" than "Halloween"

This is pretty much across the board, from those who loved or hated  Zombie's other work, and those who loved or hated the original.  I think it'll do decent enough box office, just from the curiousity standpoint, but I don't think it's got enough to become a classic remake in the way that Dawn of the Dead or Texas Chainsaw Massacre did.

ChadTower:

Why is it implausible that the guy would treat women differently than men?  Men are a physical threat... and maybe he is intrigued by women. 

AtomSmasher:
I think I'll wait for the dvd.  While I don't always agree with the reviews, a 21% on rottentomatoes is not a good sign.

I'm actually going to go see a sneak preview of the remake of 3:10 to Yuma this weekend, which looks really good.  I watched the original on the western channel last night (which was a very good movie), so I'm interested to see if the remake focuses as much on suspense and not on action as the original does.

For those who don't know about the movie, it stars Christian Bale and Russell Crowe and has the same writer/director/producer team that did Walk the Line.
