Good honest family fun

It's cheesy, it's stupid but it's entertaining. I watched all the Nightmare on Elm Streets and Friday the 13ths right before this and I can say this is better than half of those movies.

This was fun as hell

Pure fanservice, for all the others it might be just another Slasher Z Movie

Watched this one as a semi-commitment to "watch every single _Friday the 13th_ movie" and yes, it's taken awhile... There are only so many of these that a normal human being can stomach in a short span of time, so yes, it's been a bit since I watched _Jason X_ but I can now mark this one off my list. As far as films go, I have mixed feelings about this one...VERY mixed feelings. Parts of it were gruesomely good; the kills were excellent and beautifully gory so I was impressed with that part. The flip side, however, is that _Freddy vs. Jason_ was exactly like every other 1980's teen horror/slasher flick: full of stupid teen drama (and acting) that was bad enough to make you wonder if it was really worth it. (Hint: It wasn't.) The teen drama, the utterly horrible acting (and I don't mean "melodramatic" as you see in some teen films, but just the complete lack of talent), the script/dialogue in so many scenes...just YUCK. I love a good horror film but man these 1980's teen scream movies were just putrid. And that hasn't changed. (FWIW, I was a high school senior in the 1980's so I can appreciate the "teen" aspect of these films. They still suck, though. They just didn't suck as bad back then.) There were parts of the film that were actually humorous, and some that tried too hard; the whole "Jason in a pinball machine" was so ridiculous...I mean, there's "cheesy" and then there's infantile ridiculous; this was the latter. But there _were_ some bits that were actually humorous and had me chuckling. So overall, it was just a mixed bag of stupid and violence. There's the bottom line. Choose wisely whether you want to sit through this one; although it's not as awful as some of the _Friday the 13th_ films (by a long shot), it's certainly not the best and it's not really a very good film at all. The storyline is so goofy that you simply have to disengage your brain for an hour and a half (the last seven minutes are credits and there's no "after-the-credits-surprise" to waste your time waiting on) and choose to sit through this mess. This isn't one of those _"Man I wish I could get that 97 minutes of my life back"_ but it IS a _"That's definitely an hour and a half I won't ever give up again."_ It was fun, gory, and teen-hormone-drama-stupid thrown into a blender and the smelly mess is what you wind up with.
