Best movie of this year hands down!
disgusting, overrated, pointless
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
I don't understand the hate for this movie at all. This is an excellent entry in the franchise. This film has my favorite Jason out of the entire franchise and has excellent, bloody kills. The first 20 minutes of this film are the best first 20 minutes of any slasher I've ever seen. The changes they made to Jason in this remake were awesome in my opinion. Jason is far more ruthless than in any of the other entries in the series. The bunker was also a really cool addition. Many people are complaining about Jason running in the remake but if you're a true fan of the franchise you would know Jason can be seen running many times throughout parts 2-4. My only problem with this film is the character of Trent. He is the definition of a douchebag and the worst part is he is one of the very last to fall to Jason's hands. He just would not die. Overall, this was a great Friday the 13th and truly does not deserve the hate. Please give it a chance. For Jason. 9/10
A group of young adults discover a boarded up Camp Crystal Lake, where they soon encounter Jason Voorhees and his deadly intentions. After all those awful sequels like Jason takes Manhattan or Jason X the series found a breath of fresh air with the best of all the Friday the 13th movies and guess what? it's a Reboot and a pretty cool one. The movie is packed with actual terror and for once even the nudity and the sex scenes weren't that stupid plus Padalecki and Panabaker were very good and Derek Mears was way better than Kane Hodder. (10/10)
Marcus Nispel directed the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 2003, so why shouldn't he get a shot at Jason? This film is more than just a remake of the first film. It's really a bit of the first four all in one.We watch Jason as he watches his mother get killed by a camp counselor. Thirty years later, he kills every single teen who has comes to Crystal Lake looking for marijuana, except for Whitney, who reminds him of his mother.Weeks later, some rich kids come to stay at a fancy cabin. They're all fooder, too. Only Clay, Whitney's brother, can save her. Finally, Whitney acts like Jason's mother and stabs him, but he comes back at the end, rising from the lake.This is a slick, CGI animated take on the Jason mythos. I'm more into the Savini school of gore, so there's a lot of this that didn't work for me. It's not a horrible film by any means. But it's not the best of the series. And while it did well at the box office, it was also the end of the series.
I have not seen the ''original'' because I am pretty sure I would not like it because it is an older film and most of the times I don't feel the vibe others get from example films of the 90's and so on. So I am not actually going to compare those two, I just rated it on what I saw.Because of all the hype surrounding Jason Voorhees and Friday the 13th as a date, I decided to give the film a try and see what the fuss is all about.!!HUGE SPOILERS!!The story was promising: Jason is an extremely self-conscious about his disfigured face child who's only loved by his mother and drowns because no one kept an eye on him. So after his mother's death and his horrible childhood experience, he starts killing everyone that visits the camp and some other people living nearby. So far so good. But without exaggeration, I predicted almost all his moves, even how he would kill his victims. I predicted how the blonde would pull the curtain, how he would throw the ax at the black guy, how the police arriving wouldn't be more than one guy, how he would die at the door, how only the siblings would survive, how the girl would save her brother by distracting Jason, how he wouldn't have died and would show up from underwater (was literally screaming at the scene ''don't stand so close to the water''), how he would shoot the guy on the boat from afar and then the boat would hit the girl.......and so many other actions that I could literally have written the script, which made the film predictable and ultimately, boring.
