Ehh. I'm a huge fan of Halloween. I liked Zombie's first one...it was different in style from the original (hence him saying a "reimagining" and not a remake), I liked the redesign of the character, and I liked the backstory into Michael...but the second film wasn't even close. I don't want to say it was horrible...but :/
The thing with Halloween is that you could NEVER capture the feel of the original film, no matter how good of a director you are. It was a one time deal, nobody had seen anything like it. Due to both Carpenter's choices and budget constraints, you got a very eerie feeling, a more psychological fear of the killer instead of just cringey blood and guts. For what it's worth, I think Rob did a good job with modernizing it without bastardizing it.

Chiming in for the USA crowd. My private insurance (United Healthcare Oxford) covers the removal of the actual breast tissue in men, but not liposuction. If you're thinking about having it done, check with your insurance...I was able to find the identifier online for mine detailing the requirements.
It might depend on how good your doctor is, but mine was happy to work with me and the insurance company. My medical group even has an in-house surgeon who specializes in removal for both women and men. After chatting with them it's also possible for the surgeon to do lipo if you need it and charge it separately (like I said, isn't covered).
I'm damn fit but I've had discs of tissue in both sides since puberty. I brought it up to my pediatrician when I was 16 and he said "That'll go away by the time you're 21." Yeah, no. My testosterone levels are high (>900 ng/dL) but still within normal range, and after multiple tests it and estrogen have been stable. Prolactin can also cause gynecomastia, and that's what I've come to believe got me... it fluctuates but mine was a little high in the tests, who knows what was happening when I was a teen.
If I even graze my nips the pain is terrible. Sucks.
