Wonderful character development!

... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreSome fun but not a great film in any of the franchises!!! Some cool stuff & lots of gore but also WAY too silly but IT'S OK !!! Could've been alot BETTER!!!The worst of the friday the 13th franchise.
... View MoreWell myself like all horror fans from the 70's and 80's were really looking forward to seeing this project however it failed on a few levels and here is why. Firstly Jeff Katz's decision to dump Kane Hodder in favour of Kirzinger was a huge no no, simply because Kane made the part his own much like Englund had with Freddy. The second mistake was the casting of the "teenagers" Monica keena below awful, Kelly Rowland seriously?? The plot was hashed together, rushed in places and hurried at the end. I mean the kids figuring out who Freddy was and then guessing how both killers died to pit them against each other. This movie could of and should of been so much more.Too many joke moments as well turned Freddy into a clown, together with the fact that Jason kills Freddy then works with the teenagers at the end before slipping peacefully into the lake.Jeff Katz formally of New Line you suck big time,
... View MoreThe low rating on this movie is just utter idiocy. It simply shows that WAY to many people only care about having an extreme opinion. Well, isn't my opinion kind of extreme too, you may ask? Well, I super rarely rate movies this high, actually, but this one is just that good.I'm not going to get all into the long, long time it took for this movie to be made, but let's just say: thank goodness it was.This is pretty much as close to perfect as this movie could have been. It doesn't take itself that seriously, but still serious enough. It's got a great Jason (one of the best, I think) the real deal Freddy, likable characters, lot's of good gore, a pretty good story, good effects. Overall it is really, really well made. Sure, there are some stuff that could be better, but that is always the case. Take a moment and think of all the stuff they could have messed up. Just think about it.It's a real shame that Ronny Yu has directed so few movies after this one. Because he really did an excellent job. Think of the expectations? How many years in the making? How many scripts? Taking on this project at all, deserves big respect.I am a huge horror fan, I love Friday, Freddy, Halloween, all of em, pretty much. Just wanted that said. I'm not clueless when it comes to horror.For me this is very close to a perfect horror/slasher movie. It has the awesome dream-stuff from Elm, and the awesome Jason and slashing from Friday. This should have like a 7-rating on here, at least. But well, for a lot of people having an extreme opinion, mostly negative, is the most important thing. And that is a damn shame.Freddy vs Jason is such a fantastic popcorn horror teen slasher movie, and I love it.
... View MoreTwelve years after the events of Freddy's Dead and the population of Springwood have all but forgotten serial dream killer Freddy Krueger, rendering him powerless and resulting in many years of sweet, murder-free dreams for the town.Furious at having been forgotten by the very town he once single-handedly terrorised he enlists the help of Jason Voorhees, the hockey-masked serial killer of Camp Crystal Lake, to invoke fear back into Springwood's residents so that he can feed off that fear and reign supreme once again.Jason is summoned to 1428 Elm Street, the original home of Freddy's first and most enduring adversary, Nancy Thompson. Only now it is inhabited by pouty lipped Lori Campbell and her father. When her father is away one night her friends come over for drinks and teenage shenanigans.After Jason murders the boyfriend of one of Lori's friends, the police - who have tried to ensure that the current teenage population of Springwood know nothing about Freddy Krueger and his brutal crimes - inadvertently plant the seed in Lori's head, and soon she is freaking out and having nightmares.Though fear continues to spread as the body count mounts up, it takes a while before Freddy is strong enough to kill again and is reliant on Jason to hack through more victims to ensure the fear grows.However, just as Freddy is about to kill his first victim in over a decade, Jason swoops in and takes the glory away from him and Freddy realises that Jason isn't his minion but a serious threat to his title of Springwood's most notorious serial killer and the two must go head-to-head in battle for the ultimate victory.Though there are a few cool moments in the movie, such as making the town of Springwood and Camp Crystal Lake part of the same universe, the appearance of Westin Hills, the psychiatric hospital from 'Dream Warriors', as well as nods to other horror movies - 'Lori' a nod towards the character of Laurie Strode in 'Halloween' and 'Campbell' a possible nod towards Neve Campbell who played Sidney Prescott in 'Scream', and the character of Gibb being almost entirely based on PJ Soles' character from 'Carrie' - I mostly find FvJ uninspired, boring, clichéd and not nearly as epic as it could have and should have been.
