I'd submit that attention spans are nonexistent these days and that you were probably looking at Instagram or Twitter when this movie was playing instead of paying attention to it. What's boring is you, not the film.

I agree. The Killjoy films may be the only movie series in which each film is better than the last. I mean none of them are great or anything but I still feel like the series gets better as it goes on.
I thought the first film was downright terrible, far too stupid to even enjoy in a "so bad, it's good" way. Pretty much everything about it sucked. Then the second film was awful too but a slight improvement over the original. I gave up after that and didn't even bother when I heard they made a third film years later. But then I gave it a chance more recently and found that, while it wasn't anywhere near a top notch Full Moon film, it was actually a lot of fun and had much better acting, dialogue, and effects than the first two. Then I saw Killjoy Goes to Hell and thought it surpassed Part 3, I had a blast with that one. I haven't seen Killjoy's Psycho Circus yet but I really want to, mostly to see if it continues that's streak and ends up being the best film in the series yet.
Are there any other franchises, horror, or otherwise, that get better as they go on? Puppet Master, also from Full Moon, started out that way with the first three films but not so much after that.
Maybe Ferd is his mom's maiden name and Junko is his Dad's last name. I always thought Junko sounded better and fit the character more.
So it's insulting that this movie will ignore that godawful atrocity that she was in, but the fact that her abomination ignored the original classic (and the fans) isn't insulting at all? Wow, she's a moron!
I think 4 is way better than the two "Hood" films, which were both made just because that's what was considered cool at the time. Hell, Ice -T's character is given way more to do than the Leprechaun himself in this movie.
Very true. However, every 101 model we have seen, aside from maybe the one in Reese’s flashback in the first film, have looked like Arnold. We’ve seen like 5 or 6 that have the same appearance. That doesn’t mean they all look like that but apparently quite a bit of them do.
You’re absolutely right. 600 obviously comes before 800. However, I meant within the context of this movie before the retcon and the mention of the “800”, which never happened in this film. But then again this film never said “T-101” either, just that as the model number, so I guess that explains it.
MaximRecoil, you absolutely nailed it. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Amen. Brilliantly put. I could not agree more. That other guy can like this movie all he wants and that's fine, but he seems to be in denial of how far it strayed from the comics. Hell, The Dark Knight is widely considered to be a masterpiece, but that doesn't mean it was completely accurate to the comics, which it wasn't. Not sure where his confusion came from regarding "a movie he likes" and "being faithful to the source material" becoming one and the same.
You're right, however it never made sense to me that "101" was somehow a newer upgrade of "the 600 series with rubber skin" that Reese mentions. Why would they count backwards?
Yep, same here haha. I finished it as well and liked it a whole lot. Really glad you enjoyed it!
No problem. I hope you like it.
The first episode was very boring, generic, and full of clichés. It was all the same crap I had seen a hundred times. It didn't suck me in and I wasn't hooked. So I watched the next episode and had the same reaction. I, too, was very confused about all the different characters and had a tough time telling who was who and couldn't easily differentiate the past from the present. I was about to give up but then I kept watching out of curiosity and am happy to report that it gets a whole lot better. I'm on the seventh episode now and I'm really invested. The characters actually get really fleshed out and the performances, which at first I thought were too dramatic and like a soap opera, actually end up being great and compliment the storyline extremely well. I'm happy to report that my initial impression was wrong and overall I'm glad I continued watching. I recommend you do the same. But then again, I haven't finished the whole season yet, so it could still go down hill from here. I'll reserve my full judgment upon the completion of the remaining episodes.
I'd say the twist involving the doctor could have been a pretty serious risk but, as you said, they didn't spend much time on it. It was an interesting idea that could have been executed a little better. They didn't go about it the best way. I still really enjoyed this movie though, despite a few minor complaints.
He was 21 in the first film. He was 6 in 1963 so in 1978 that would make him 21. Plus Loomis even says so in the second film. The credits list Tony Moran as "Michael Myers, age 23", but that's a mistake.

It was actually the other guy who threw the rock (the Inspector or whatever and not Vincent) but you're right, The Fly itself was David Hedison.
Prequel.
