I really liked NOES (2010) but I loved the Friday the 13th reboot so much better. I am a huge Jason fan and with the exception of Freddy vs. Jason which was awesome, the reboot was the best film in the series since Jason Lives in my opinion.

I do think Jackie Earle Haley did a great job playing Freddy and I would enjoy seeing future installments with him in the title role. I did miss Robert Englund and he will always be the true Freddy to me. But I commend Jackie for making the character his own.

I don’t get the Shannon / Swift bashing on this site. I think the Friday the 13th reboot had a better story then some in the original series, even though I love all those films.

Hey Jimbo I am in agreement with you on everything you said except for the part about the reason the elements were missing from the F13th remake. I don’t think the problem was with them trying to cram 3 movies into one, the problem is with the writers! Shannon and Swift cannot, for the life of them write a good movie. Well let me rephrase that, the can’t write a good Jason/ Friday the 13th movie. But everything else you said is right on.

I enjoyed it, It was kind of a different take on old Fred but at the same time it played a lot of homage to the original. The sfx were 50/50 some were great while some made you think it would of been better off not using CGI. The new actor playing Freddy did a good job not trying to simply imitate Dave’s performance.

I’m a bigger F13 fan myself…always have been and always will be. But I do think that the NOES remake was a better film overall than the F13 remake. To me, the NOES remake just felt more in sync with the traditions of the its franchise. All of the cheese that I am use to in the NOES franchise was there and the kills were creative for the most part. I thought this film was a good way to usher the concept of Freddy Kruger to a new generation of fans. I wish I could say the same for the F13 remake but I can’t…too many elements of the franchise were simply missing from the remake. Maybe the problem was that the writers try to cram three separate films into one movie???

well, it topped the box office so far this weekend! im a way bigger friday fan than a noes fan, i casually watch them, but in my opinion, this movie was better than any of the other noes films. the kills and werent as good as friday but this one was slightly scarier than friday 09, they both scared the shit outta me though!

Are you really going to say that higher box office revenue = a better movie? Because if you are then Titanic is the best movie ever made.

GO TITANIC!

The Friday remake was waaaaaaaay better than the one they did for NOES.
