Crappy film

Admirable film.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Being a huge fan of the Friday the 13th franchise and loving the first three Nightmare on Elm Street films, this movie was such a good time. With great, gory kills, decent acting, and of course Robert Englund reprising his role as Freddy Krueger, we got a very solid slasher movie. Finally getting to see two huge horror icons battle it out for the first time was a total blast. I give Freddy vs. Jason a 10/10.

This film is the eleventh sequel to "Friday the 13th," a franchise that has long been held only thanks to the stubbornness of the studios, producers and directors, as well as the good amount of money it usually collects at the box office.Directed by Ronny Yu, the film has a script from Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. I am sure that these gentlemen will have little to be proud of, since this script is no more than a shame. The main idea is basically a crossing between "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street," that is, face-to-face, in tight rivalry, Jason and Freddy Krueger. This is what happens when you don't know what to create in order to give life to a franchise that should have finished long ago.In the background, it was the swan song for this franchise, and also for the "Nightmare on Elm Street", which is not bad.

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than Alien vs Predator, regardless of what you think of it. It really does both of the characters justice. It is a lot of fun. If you came for the title, it is more than happy to deliver. If you love A Nightmare on Elm Street & Friday the 13th and want a crossover, This is just about as good as you're probably gonna get.Freddy is dead, and is trying to reclaim his existence from fear of the teenagers of Elm Street. However, people are trying to avoid remembering Freddy in case he comes back. They clear all records of Freddy to avoid spreading information about him. They quarantine the teenagers who have heard of Freddy to avoid spreading the fear. They prohibit even mentioning his name. Freddy then decides to resurrect Jason in a dream sequence, telling him his work is not yet finished. Jason comes back to life and starts murdering teenagers in Elm Street for him in order to bring back the fear of Freddy Krueger. Unfortunately for Freddy, Jason takes his victims out of Freddy's reach. Freddy begins to regret his plan and proceeds to take Jason on mono e mono. Lori (one of the teenagers) has a personal vendetta against Freddy as he is responsible for her mother's death and interferes with the fight.What I like about the film is the fight scenes are well done, the camera doesn't shake around too much. I like how in the dream sequences Freddy gets the upper hand and in reality Jason becomes more dominant. It brings a sense of levity between the two. There is genuine fright value and it's a good choice for Halloween. It gives you bang for your buck.While there are enjoyable aspects of this movie, it wasn't perfect. The acting is weak and the characters are a bit one dimensional. The nudity was gratuitous. The subplot of Lori seeking revenge against Freddy was kind of silly. The story is very basic and not very deep. If you are looking for a lot of substance, or something with a philosophical message, or artistic merits, this movie is not for you.Overall, Freddy vs Jason is far from a masterpiece, but it's a fun film if you enjoy horror and action. It's definitely not for everyone.

Freddy vs Jason is without a doubt the best horror movie to have 2 of the best horror characters ever fight each other. Although the movie felt like it was being rushed through a little bit,I still thought the fights they had were just spine tingling awesome. Honest to god,I still can't stop smiling every time i watch them fight. You have a big man carrying a machete and an average sized man with razor fingers, and they're both just battling each other. I was trying to figure out how they would make that work,but then I saw the movie,and the matches and I saw myself. The reason I think the filmmakers were rushing with the plot was so they can get to the fights so soon,because for the fans that love these 2,they don't just want to see Freddy and Jason killing other civilians,they want to see them fight. That's why people wanted to see the movie and that was all we were looking forward to. So I was impressed they made this movie,but disappointed they didn't get to make a squeal.
