The low lows mentioned below are mostly unintentional comedy gold. So I enjoy it all. Over the years I've come to really love the entire Halloween franchise much more than those belonging to Freddy and Jason. The highs are much more frequent and the lows just amuse me much more than those in the other franchises.

10 Things You Learn Rewatching Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers (1989)
Excerpts:
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers is a mixed bag. When it works, it really works. It has a great sense of character and conflict, especially when it comes to Jamie, Loomis, and Michael. Othenin-Girard stages some of the best Michael-centric set pieces since Halloween II, and the finale is genuinely great.
However, when it doesn't work, it can feel like the whole thing might fall apart at any moment. Howarth's score is painful to drudge through, as are any of the scenes featuring new characters like Tina, the goofy cops, or the Man in Black. The result is a film with high highs and low lows, but a surprisingly solid Halloween film for those who can stomach the more egregious flaws...
Funniest Scene: Loomis hilariously attempting to understand one of Jamie's visions, repeatedly asking "cookie woman?".
