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.
... View MoreThis 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.

Sure, the titular fight & some of the dreams provide some fun, but it takes way too long to get to it. Until then, we're bombarded with horror clichés (closed medicine cabinet reveal), mysterious rules that the dumb kids figure out ridiculously easily, & dated offensiveness (homophobia, sexism, racism).
... View MoreFreddy 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.
