Rob Zombie's Halloween on DVD

Was it really that bad?  I saw it in the theater, and just last night on DVD, and I really liked it both times.  It's raunchy and exploitative, gory, tense and manages to pay homage to B-movies of the past.  Blood, sex and Techniolor!  Lots of dumb, mean rednecks getting slashed, what more can you ask for?   I think it's his best movie.  I'm just surprised to see that it got a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes and a lot of the reviewers seemed to talk about the original as a masterpiece, which it most definitely was not.  Let's be honest.  It was boring.  It was! 
I'm normally in agreement with critics as far as movies go, but this...Whu??

What's your take?
