But plenty of people really like his Halloween reboot. His style of rock hasn't aged as badly as nu-metal has.Īny time you mess with a beloved franchise you're going to attract haters. It's generally his trashy mall-goth fans that people don't like. White Zombie and his solo stuff is still relatively well liked. Keanu Reeves, Corey Feldman, and Johnny Depp make bad/boring music, and Elvis, Ice-T, Madonna, and DMX are terrible actors. It's only when the music/acting/directing is actually bland/bad that the talent gets any shit. David Lynch, John Carpenter, Woody Allen, Clint Eastwood, Jack Black, Tom Waits, David Bowie, Jeff Bridges, and Steve Martin are all well regarded musicians. Generally speaking, people aren't bitter towards him because he's a musician.
Most people are fine with his first two films, and appreciate the aesthetic and period he's going for.
