Where the original series kept up the mystery of Michael Myers (faceless killing machine with nothing to relate to whatsoever), Rob Zombie turned it into a psych evaluation of the character. We know A LOT of what's going on behind the mask. I thought it added something to the story.

That and I freakin love Malcolm McDowell and I thought he was the perfect person to replace Donald Pleasence.
Yeah you're not missing out on Halloween Resurrection. I'm sure you've heard about the first ten minutes and the rest of it is just dull for the most part. It's a totally generic artifact of early 00s mainstream horror movies.
