The movie was pretty good.....better than Halloween. The fact that it kicked ass in Week 1 tells all the right people that there needs to be a sequel - and we\'ll get one. The question is where do we go with it? To make this franchise really work there needs to be a master plan....I\'m not sure there is one. I\'ve seen every single Friday multiple times and the real fans know that there are Parts 1-4......and then the others......and then the Freddy one. Since the remake combined the first 4....where are we going? Sadly, we\'ll never have a Part 2 or Part 3 that live up to the originals....we\'re in a different time and a different place in 2024......Like someone said earlier, some kid went back to watch the original and wasn\'t impressed....but you and I saw that shit in the theater in the 80\'s and shit ourselves!! We\'ll never get that back....but maybe we\'ll get another decent movie next year.....what they NEED to do is re-release the originals in the theater like they used to do for Rocky Horror.....the last Friday of every month a midnight showing or some shit.....now that would be the place to be.....lol Why does everyone take the box office so personal?

I don't get ryderup's post. F13th always has had tits so who's crying? Your not for tits and excessive gore in a F13th movie? I always hope they push this franchise into new and creative paths without forgeting it's key elemnets. These movies are fun, take any movie even your favorite and tell me where teenagers aren't stupid that's just what they are. They're not all played by bad actors thats just what they are young dumb kids. They remind you of today's popular stereotypes. Popular but that doesn't mean the viewer can't wait to watch them get hacked to bits. I don't also get how people want character depth but don't want a damn thing changed on Jason. Jason doesn't do that, no Jason doesn't walk that way, why would Jason have this. It's like it has to still make sense with the old films, but those films suffered as a series from bad continuity errors. So how would one film satisfy everyone's ideal Jason, teenagers, or atmosphere? All I know is those tits were stupendous. I don’t get ryderup’s post. F13th always has had tits so who’s crying?

He tried to more than once; only, every time he started to bring the machete down, she'd hold up her picture of Pamela and the resemblence would confuse him. I can see why some viewers didn't like it- I'm ambivalent about it myself- but I see the reasoning behind it. It's Ginny's technique from part 2 taken to its logical conclusion. If you can fool Jason into thinking you're Pamela once, why not indefinitely? That's just the way I saw it, though. I don't know near enough about how the box office works to tell whether these numbers are good, but I do think there'll be another one.

The purpose of the film was to treat Jason as a smart character and not just a mindless killer. Since this is the angle they were going for it does make sense in my opinion. How was it forced?

I understand homages like the ones that were done in the new film but I do not want a crazy ralph clone or a psychic showdonw with a character like in New Blood.

I still don't hate it. I look forward to a sequel that doesn't hold back on how swift and brutal Jason is. All they had to do was pretty much "reimagine" classic kills and it would have worked great. They totally need to include an Andy from Part 3 kind of death. That death is underrated and not to many people remember it. And something so swift and brutal happening would shock the shit out of the newbies who have never seen Part 3. And as far as MBV3D being better? I don't think so. The movie was boring. The 3D headache inducing. The acting lacking. And the "Twist" was stupid. The movie managed to make Jensen Ackles look like a bad actor. F13 Part 2? Let's get the deaths to a point that makes the audience do the uncomfortable laugh/groan. Make them memorable. The film shouldn't be "1000 Ways To Kill With A Machete".

Even if they just wanted to do a completely formulaic Friday movie, they left out some key ingredients. Where's the big unmasking scene? Where's the crazy old warning guy? Where's the big iconic Jason busts through a door or wall shot (they did that one but botched it.) Jason did a few out of character things, some good some not good at all. The way they had it set up to make you think Jason was driving...I almost literally stood up and called bullshit in the theater. Leaner, faster trap setting Jason good ideas. Kidnapper Jason, NO! That was done to allow us to have something to hang a story onto, but the story was so flimsy and crappy it didn't matter. And yes indeed, have someone else direct it. Tired of Nispel's 'lets light everything like a Quake level' approach. We are (and today's kids) are able to discern more complicated and realistic plots, characters and dialogue. They need to take notes from the Bloody Valentine guys. They took a film, made it better than the original and updated it and it still felt like a good old fashioned slasher flick. Expected good 3D and bad movie and it was the other way around really. They did it right. I hope they do a sequel and get it right this time.
