Hmm, that outfit he's wearing in the first one makes no sense at all. If he's been in the forest all these years, why is he wearing semi-recently purchased clothes. And why are they so expensive-looking? I don't like the way they fitted him out in this, but I'm sure I'm not going to care when they start showing why this film earned an R-rating.
In the second one, it's too bright out for me. I prefer Jason hunting around at dark or just beyond dusk, when it's a little darker and easier for him to hide.

Yeah the brightness is cause for concern plus i think he looks a little too much like he did in FvJ with the jacket......

Wow, how crappy is that? Utterly terrible. I hope they change it before the official release.

I don't really consider it a remake much,just another sequel really.Much better than the last couple of 'Jason' movies. I liked the fact that it was a return to formula,Jason killing people at Crystal Lake,and that they didn't change the back story ala the TCM remake
The main problem is that obnoxious characters these days irritate me more than obnoxious 80's characters

I think this was probably the most amazing Friday the 13th I have ever seen! My muscles were completely tense 80% of the time I watched it. Jason actually scared the sh*t out of me! He was so f*ckin brutal and perfect I am just shocked! Really quick.. comparing this to RZ Halloween is like comparing F13th Part 2 to Halloween 5.
The sound effects REALLY carry this move to another level. Regular scenes become amazing scares! Kills become 500 times more brutal with that loud crazy sound effect/score! After the last 3 goofball POS movies NLC put out I am shocked that anyone would have any complaints about this movie. If you don't love this movie I really suggest you sit in your bedroom and relive the 80's for the rest of your life and never open up to or waste your money going to anything new.
The Jason "death" was so intense man. The writing was so incredible! Those two guys deserve a standing ovation! The characters were perfect. The girls were SO HOT! One had perfect legs. The other had a perfect chest. I was just blown away by everything!
My only issue (if you wanna call it that) was the references to the obvious token black guy in the movie. Not only was he one but they almost made him so cliche it was odd. However that was only during his first scenes and I was fine with him afterward. That was not enough to lower my rating of this outstanding movie however.
I think it was leagues better then Part 3 and if Part 4 wasn't a classic it would be better then that as well. I think it's exactly what Jason fans want. I think they got it and more. However like I said some F13th fans are next to impossible to please since 1988. They almost want the same exact movies as Part 3-4 remade over and over and over. I hope that is not the case here. I would hate for my friends to somehow not enjoy this work of art. I love the fresh new take and life given to F13th in this movie.
It was a perfect addition of a classic icon into modern day horror.
I wanna ride this high out... I want no negative comments to cloud my mind and bring me down from cloud number 13.
I will wait till this amazing happiness I am in (which I haven't had since Sept 5th) leaves me and I will then allow myself to be open to criticism. I appreciate all of your opinions and respect them. I just like I said, can't let anything take away what this movie gave to me tonight. I give it back a 8 for an outstanding revival of a dead Franchise since 1989.
Please remember this is all just my opinion and anyone with a differing opinion is all good to me.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was nice to see Jason alive again, and I loved all the new stuff they added around the lake. I have heard some people say they hated that part, but I liked it and thought it added some realism to it all.

I won't lie Conan, I found this one to be just god awful, there was nothing unique about it, nothing very Friday the 13th about it.

I enjoyed the hell out of it, to be honest. I am not much of a Friday the 13th fan, though I find a few of the sequels fun. That's how I felt about this one. Its a straight forward slasher film with great energy and never tries to be anything else. I did find some of Jason's actions out of character, and of course there were a couple of annoying characters (of course, I am a Supernatural fan, and I genuinely like Jared Padalecki, so it helped he had a lead role). I also wasn't crazy about the camera work.....but none of that hurt the movie too much for me.

I thought the underground stuff was very unique for Friday the 13th.

True, you guys have good points.
I just found it to be so derivative . . . though, going into a Friday the 13th remake, I should have taken that as a given and left that out of my judgements.
When it hits DVD here in Poland I'll have to give it another chance.

Thats what I did, I went in thinking it was not going to be as good as the worst of the others, and came out likeing it alot. Some of the characters I hated, and was soooo happy to see them die. "You have perfect nipple placement baby." = WORST LINE EVER!

And really I didn't hate the characters or dialogue anymore than I have in most of the sequels. Its far from a perfect movie, but I was entertained.....at least I wasn't bored for half the film....to me, it was pretty much exactly what I expect, and want, from this kind of movie.
