(Jason Sum, 2009-09-18) Growing up in the 80's watching some of the Best Modern Day Horror Flicks I was super excited and Hopeful about this Re-Make I was dead wrong There are so Many Problems with the Story That just P*sses all over The whole Frdiay the 13th Mythology and the fans for that matter. Someone knew how bad this is since The Now Famous Friday the 13th/Jason Score is now where to be found in this Film The Friday Formula isn't that complex Hey New Line next time let a Monkey or a Donkey write a Horror Script for your Studio The guys who wrote the Screen Play "Claim" to be Huge Friday Fans You can't tell This is NOT Jason This is Rambo/Norman Bates/Robin Hood Dressed as Jason Jason don't Kidnap Victims, He's Not a Expert with Cross Bows, He doesn't use Huge Spot Lights, use His Victims as Bait The Real Jason is a Child trapped in a man's Body Full of Rage who reacts on Revenge and without thought The Cast was A Bit off All the Victims look like they walked off a GAP Photo shoot (Way to Pretty look like Actors) Jared Padalecki (who i like) What is This Supernatural goes to Camp Blood where's his Brother Dean Winchester????? Just stick to the Original Films from Paramount New Line seems 2 have forgotten That the Horror Genre put them on The Map as a Major Studio That could Draw Big Money It wasn't Hobbits looking for Rings! They Buried The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with a Unnecessary Re-Make Now Friday The 13th What's next??????????? Stay Far away from this worthless Film! Horror Fans Need 2 Scream Out Enough And Stop going to all These Re-Makes Maybe then ALL the Studios will Stop Beating a Dead Horse and come up with Original Ideas and Story Lines Without a Doubt the worst Entry so far 1/10

(D. Jones, 2009-08-14) Okay, There are a dozen Friday 13th movies out there, okay? So there's really nothing new, you got Jason and a couple of college-aged, horny kids who decide to camp or take a vacation at the wrong place and get sliced and diced. This is how its ALWAYS been. I'm not complaining, i'm just trying to make you aware of what you should expect by now if you've seen all the previous ones. There is really no difference. Jason In my opinion was actually pretty brutal in this one. He's got some new moves. There was one gruesome murder that i couldnt watch becuase it just seem like such a BAD way to die. ugh!! Overall it was pretty good movie, i wouldnt buy it, but i would rent it, like maybe on netflix or something. Parts That Annoyed Me: Okay, i get it that alot of guys LOVE to see bouncing breasts, Vaginas, and other sex scenes, and i get that producers or directors add that kind of stuff into movies to get high ratings, but its like every five minutes you see a naked chick. I can NEVER watch a movie nowadays without a sex scene popping up anymore. What's up with this generation? All the sex doesnt bother me that much, however i was glad that i watched the movie alone to avoid feeling awkward in front of my parents and sister. I guess you can call me old fashion even though i'm 23, but all that crap was just uncalled for, really. if youre a guy reading this, i don't expect you to understand my view. As for the Racist comments that people say about this movie, well it wasnt that bad, however i didnt think that all racial situations was really necessary either. Again, why can't I watch a movie with a black guy in it but at same time being withdrawn from ANY kind of racial parts? why couldnt the black guy be treated like the rest of the white fokes in it? i don't get it. They had an asian guy in there too, however they failed to do any racial parts for him, so i guess movies just arent nice to black fokes. As for the asian kid, His character was a bit awkward, like he was desperately trying his hardest to fit in with the group. The character just seemed very weird and out of place. NOt that actual actor but the character he played.

(Alec Scudder, 2009-08-05) Don't missunderstand-me I am a huge fan of the Friday, the 13th franchise, accepting all the goodies and even the awful and funny aspects of any of the previous films. After all, they're only slashers, fun to watch if you're a huge Jason's fan. But this remake is by far the worst of them all. It's not a remake at all of the original film, more like a "wannabe" mix of the first three films, problably because the producers were totally aware that the disaster they were into would be their first and last (like The Omen remake, etc..) The worst part it's that there's not one decent killing in the 105' full lenght film. Jason (even when he puts his famous mask on) doesn't scare at all. It's a complete joke of a boogey man. They had achieve to destroy one of the hugest modern myths of horror films. BTW, nowadays there's anyone capable of create some new monsters after Freddy, Michael Myers, Jason, Leatheface, The Tall Man from Phantasm or even Chucky...? Kind of pitty. The horny drug-addict stupid bunch of kids are by far the most ridiculous group I've seen on all the previous film. There isn't any kind of story or desenvelopement at all. The only interesting actor it's Supernatural's Jared Padalecki. The movie it's shaky, excesevily dark, blurry and ugly to watch, and that seeing it in HD and on a 300 inches digital projection . Problably the only one thing remaining from the old films it's that the girls are breast naked practicly all the film. In the year 2009, I think that it would have been better and wittier have a little less male chauvisinsm and had a littl more equality in the nudity. Please Hollywood, stop destroying great old horror films, making pointless and by far much worst remakes. I'm shaking about the new Elm St.

(Ender42, 2009-07-30) Well, I am a big fan of the slasher horror movies and was really looking forward to these reboots of some old series. After Halloween I had high hopes for Friday the 13th and was fairly impressed with a couple of minor letdowns. This movie did not drag at all and there was a respectable body count, but it seems like that was about the most important thing. The story was a little sparse (ok, I know it's a slasher movie and it's not going to win an Emmy) but I could live with that. I liked how they started out making it seem mostly realistic and I was hoping that they were going to get away from the "Jason is immortal" bit that started making the later Friday the 13th films so campy and corny. Unfortunately, the ending kind of spoiled that. I don't want to give anything away but the last scene is kind of predictable and to me that kind of killed it. I don't really want them to remake every one of the Jason movies (please, no more Jason X movies) but they did set it up for the inevitable sequel. I guess Hollywood is running out of ideas and they want to see how far they can take a remake of the series...

(Justice0309, 2009-07-23) After hacking and slashing his way through ten films, although to be fair his mother did the killing in the first film, Jason Voorhees' film career looked to be getting more mundane and inept with each passing sequel. With every new installment the killing was getting bloodier and more pointless as each victim became less and less likeable; meanwhile, the stories were becoming even more simplistic and at times downright ridiculous ("Jason X", need I say more). Even after horror fans flocked to see the masked one go toe-to-toe with Elm Street's master of our nightmares in "Freddy Vs Jason", it seemed that getting Jason to go on another solo spree in a new "Friday the 13th" wasn't something fans were all that anxious to see. However, in the same year the two titans of terror came to blows, producer/director Michael Bay released a successful retooling of an old horror classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". With the success of that reboot, along with the remake of "The Amityville Horror" two years later, it appeared audiences were interested in seeing some of their old favorites dusted off and brought into modern times. This brings us to 2009 and the return of Jason Voorhees in Marcus Nispel's re-imagining of "Friday the 13th". "Friday the 13th" follows the bloody exploits of masked killer Jason Voorhees as he disposes of any and all trespassers who are unfortunate enough to come onto the property of the now defunct Camp Crystal Lake. Six weeks after a group of hikers mysteriously disappeared near the former camp; a brother to one of the hikers (Jared Padalecki) arrives in search of his missing sister. At the same time, a group of friends looking forward to a weekend full of carefree merriment soon find themselves inadvertently wandering off the beaten path and catching the eye of Jason. With the body count rising as Jason mercilessly dispenses his sentence upon all who come near; survival quickly becomes the order of the day. The question is, "How many of these unwitting young adults will make it out of the area alive?" After ten movies focusing either directly or indirectly on the story of Jason Voorhees, not to mention that after the fourth or fifth sequel the quality of the remainder of the films dropped drastically, one would not be out of place to wonder if yet another "Friday the 13th" was warranted. Personally, I've never been all that much of a fan of the "Friday the 13th" series; I was more intrigued by the "Halloween" franchise (at least the first two films and then "H20"). I will admit that "Freddy Vs Jason" was an entertaining horror film that was much smarter than anything either of the series' had delivered separately to audiences in some time. With that in mind, I didn't exactly walk away with a desire to see another stand alone sequel in either character's series of films. With all that being said, perhaps you may be wondering why then did I choose to watch this reboot of "Friday the 13th", especially since I wasn't a fan of the character's previous films. My answer would be this, based on what I had seen in the various trailers for the film, it appeared that this installment may be a little more realistic and of a slightly higher quality than all of its predecessors (neither of these achievements would be all that hard to accomplish by the way). Written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift ("Freddy Vs Jason"), and directed by Marcus Nispel, who is no stranger to the re-imagined horror film after helming the reboot for "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", this newest "Friday" film is arguably the best this series has seen in its nearly 30 year history. The story this time around is much tighter in focus and aimed primarily at returning Jason to his roots, minus (for the most part) the cheesy dialogue and bad acting that plagued the initial series' run. In general, the plot is fairly believable, or as much as it can be given the type of movie and genre it's in; however, there are a few instances where we're asked to suspend our brains a little too much in order to go along with something despite it clearly being impossible. Another complaint was that for a little while early on in the movie I found myself wondering if I was actually going to see much more from the story and its characters besides references and usages of drugs and numerous sexual escapades. Eventually, the story finally got moving, and the sex and drugs became less rampant within the movie. In regards, to the dialogue, for the majority of the film it was full of typical teenage banter, but without it being overly annoying. Yet there were a couple of moments where the dialogue took a nosedive and became far too clichéd or inane for its own good. The plot point involving the search for the missing hikers was a neat way of tying the entire movie together, and provided one of only a few characters you actually hoped would survive through to the end of the movie. The cast of "Friday the 13th" was surprisingly better than your typical horror film cast. That being said, there were still only a handful of characters that I actually became interested in. Leading the cast of semi-familiar faces is Jared Padalecki (TV's "Supernatural") as the estranged brother of one of the missing hikers that ran afoul of Jason six weeks prior. Jared brings a charisma and likeability to the character that allows the viewer to actually root for his survival regardless of the built-in sympathy card the writers have included in the movie for him. Joining him in his search is actress Danielle Panabaker ("Mr. Brooks") as one member of a group of friends that are spending a fun-filled weekend near the old Camp Crystal Lake site. Danielle imbues her character with warmth and innocence, plus there's a surprising sincerity in her portrayal that cannot be ignored. By all rights, Danielle put more effort into her character than any horror movie role ever calls for, but it was that dedication that elevated her performance far above those of the other actors playing her vacationing friends. The remainder of the supporting cast ranged from good to slightly irritating, but what else should one expect when watching a horror movie? Lastly, I wanted to touch briefly upon the main driving force of the movie, the monstrosity that is Jason Voorhees himself. In this movie I finally believe that Jason could actually catch one of his victims as he is more proactive in his approach to "hunting". A much needed new twist to the character was showcased in the time the writers took in showing Jason as more of a predator stalking his prey rather than just a brainless behemoth. The fact that Jason actually runs in pursuit of his victims is a definite, and much appreciated, boost to how much more fearsome he is this time around. As for the Jason's killings, they are definitely prevalent throughout the story, and the writers have clearly taken advantage of the opportunity provided them by Jason's newfound smarts to become a little more creative with how he goes about his business. For the horror junkies out there, don't worry about your favorite, or perhaps I should say one of your favorite, killers going soft after his thirty year run. This is the most violent and hard-hitting of the Jason movies, at least in my opinion. At its best "Friday the 13th" is a decently entertaining, fast-paced slasher film that cleverly combines all of the strongest elements of the first three movies in the original series while applying a modern twist. When not at its best, the movie devolves into bouts of irritating arguments and conversations that are pointless from the get-go, moments that stretch believability too far or just relying far too much on an over-abundance of sex and drug related scenes. It's not the best horror film I've ever seen, but it is one of the better ones that have been released here lately. "Friday the 13th" is rated R for violence, language, gore, and sexuality/nudity.
