Friday the 13th remake equals moose sh!t

[Ash]

So is it bad or good?
If it's good, it goes here in this section.
If it's bad, it goes in the bad movies section.  (regardless of budget)

[Psycho Circus]

If this new movie is so bad, why is it here in the Good Movies section??

Because Its not a B-movie. its just a bad A-movie. get it?

It's what the Megan Fox's and Tom Welling's of this world would consider a great, "funky" movie that "I'm really proud of" 

[Javakoala]

I've always wanted to see a slasher movie in which the dumpy, funny girl with glasses is the one to survive.  And it would happen because she most likely has brains. She would chop the killer into pieces out of fear, anger and frustration instead of the cliched "one stab and then drop the weapon" scene.

If they want to make it scary, they should have Jason demolish the campers' parents' credit so that the annoying pretty kids don't have any easy money any more. Talk about frightening the upper middle class snobs...they'd demand the movie be banned.

And, yes, I'm stereotyping, and I approve of this message.

I was just reading some guy's review of this on Imdb and it was very funny. He really hated it too.

Here's a little snippet from his rant and one HUGE reason why the world and his wife should stay away from this crap:

This is an example of the humor in this movie: the black guy, Lawrence, is complaining about not having a cell phone signal at the cabin because he has business to do this weekend, as he is trying to put together a record label. A girl says "Rap?" and he says "Now why you gotta think just because I'm black it's gotta be rap? You think a black guy can't appreciate Green Day?" and she says "Sorry. What kind of music then?" and he says "Rap." Ahhahahahahaha!

With gags as funny as that the writers should work on the next Adam Sandler film. 
Or , better yet, Steve Martin film.

Was anyone wondering why weed was magically growing at the camp? Was Jason selling it on the side? Using decapitated heads as bongs? What?

Another disease that runs rampant in modern film. Oh, how endless "weed" references in every film these days pains me... 

It was also rampant in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, by the same writers/producers.  I'm not 'anti-weed' or anything, but it just felt like it was forced in to appear to 'be cool' or something.  Like, "Hey man, we'll have the kids looking for weed, so the college kids watching it will be all like, 'Hey, I smoke pot too, cool'".  Lame.  Just really unnecessary. 

Apparently the ending of the flick was scrapped and was edited out, in favor of the ending they are showing in theaters.  I love the Friday franchise, but I'm not sure if a sequel to this will be appreciated. 

[Jason Does Run]

People didn't know they were gonna add in elements of parts 1-4, while the bulk of the plot was it's own plot written specifically for the movie.  Jason doesn't run, so why did he look like he should be on the track team?

You should rewatch part 2; Jason runs like a m#*tha F#*&a

Yeah he does.  Completely forgot about that when I posted it.  A friend of mine was like, "He ran like a b***h in part 2 and 3."  I was like "s**t, you're right." 

I had gotten so used to him being "Uber zombie" in the latter years that I forgot he moved pretty quickly for a while.

I picked up a couple of weeks ago that His Name Was Jason 2 disc DVD set. Included with it was a 10 dollar movie coupon to see the new Friday the 13th.  So I got to see it for free essentially Saturday night.   I actually liked it. It's actually much more of an alternate timeline type sequel to the original 1980 classic.  I felt that they successfully expanded on the Jason mythos without being disrespectful or ignorant of the original 4 films (the remake actually pulls plot elements from all 4 as well).  The film gets the franchise back to where it needed to be.  The only part where I felt the filmmakes faltered was in the jump type ending which felt a bit cheap and pointless.  But I would still give it 3 stars out of 4.

[ToyMan]

again, i think that it's actually a pretty decent film.

as far as remakes are concerned, it's not as good as john carpenter's "the thing", or rob zombie's "halloween", but it's a damned sight better than the "dawn of the dead" and "psycho" remakes.

i think it really says a lot about someone if they go to see a remake, or even a sequel of a friday the 13th film, after how bad "jason goes to hell" was, and complains about how bad it was.

strange, mine coupon was for $5.

[Torgo]

I think it depended on where you bought His Name Was Jason as to how much the movie voucher was for. A friend and I got our copies at Wal-Mart and the voucher was good for 10 bucks. Two other friends got their copies at Best Buy and their coupons were only good for 5 dollars towards a F13th ticket. Go figure...................

Oh yeah, BTW the weed crop belonged to the guy who was feeling up the mannequin prior to getting his throat slashed and Jason then subsequently finding the hockey mask on the floor.
