Freddy vs. Jason - yep, I gave in

ufcrusher · 08-15-2003, 05:34 PM

Ok, I admit it, I went and saw a 1:00pm showing of Freddy vs. Jason with my younger sister. She is a big Freddy fan, has been since he first came out (him and Chucky) so I figured I would take her to go see it. It would be a nice treat for her and a break from her daily routine.

Either way, I went to see it. Freaking $6.25 for a matinee. I havent been to a movie that i have had to pay for in a long while so that shocked me. I probably wont be going again unless I have my discounted tickets like usual. Even then, we dont go that often, but back to the movie.

The movie was actually ok. I would probably give it 2 stars (out of 4). It was a mesh of both story lines but in order to make it work some of the stuff had to become awfully convenient. Now to the important things...there is gratituous nudity and sex...the women are all pretty good looking....the violence is the usual over the top that we have come to expect out of these movies. There are some pretty funny scenes as well, about as funny as you can get in these types of the movies.

Overall, if you can wait, I would save your money and just rent it on DVD when it comes out. If you cant, try to see it on a cheaper day. So long as you dont pay too much and you realize what you are getting into, its not that bad.

As a huge horror fan (I own the Nightmare on Elm St. box set and most of the Jason movies), this was a must-see for me on opening night. I thought it was really good! There really wasn't much else that I could ask for from this movie. The only thing that bothered me was that the kids figured out what was really going on so instantly. Oh well. The nudity and gallons of fake blood more than made up for that!

He was referring to the overall Freddy & Jason series - not Freddy vs. Jason in particular. Freddy can be "killed" if you stop acknowledging him and realize that it's only a dream, thus keeping your fear from giving him power. Jason, well... Jason can't really be killed.

Oh, and I wasn't trying to give anything about Freddy vs. Jason away. You're the one that spilled the beans!

Yeah, like the ending of this movie would be a real surprise.
