I totally don’t have a problem with a joint making it’s way on to the screen, I actually think that has some precedence in past films of the franchise, but to bring overt paraphernalia into the picture numerous occasions immediately brings the class of the picture down; no one cares if a bunch of losers and potheads get the axe. On top of that there was no one condemning that behavior so we the audience didn’t really know who the innocents are and who to feel sorry for and worried for. The remake really has no redeeming qualities once so ever.

I just watched the remake again recently and my thoughts haven’t changed on the film. It is hands down the worst of the Friday The 13th films in my eyes. Until the remake came along the one I liked the least was part 8. Not sure if the remake will get better for me as time goes on due to the fact that my thoughts on part 8 haven’t changed since I seen the film back in august of 1989. Just wish I had liked the remake but in the end it just didn’t work for me

all I’m saying is that if you go into a horror film and don’t expect to see boobs, sex, alcohol and death you will walk out disappointed. Also, if you walk into a F13th movie and don’t expect to see boobs, sex, alcohol and death you’ll be disappointed (its on a different plane for me haha)

lol comparing number 5 and this sparknotes version of the first 4 films is very appropriate; they both suck and are not legitimate parts of the series. The 2024 made for MTV movie wreaks of Bruckheimien production and I genuinely hope for the franchise’s sake that they don’t continue down this path, it makes no sense that they would unless they’re really intent on alienating its core audience. The last two outings have not been kind to Jason; in Freddy vs. he was stuck in a Freddy movie and in the Jason For Dummies version he was stuck in MTV’s The Hills or something…just atrocious.

The audience needs to take the franchise back we want Hodder we want grit we want cheesey goodness we want innocence we want heroism. Number 6 stands the test of time as the best in the series, and the most recent one finds its place among number 5 and Jason Goes to Hell; not needed even if you’re a completionist. My message to the creators of this most recent “Jason” outing if they even ever read this: Please stop, do not Rob Zombie this franchise.

yeah i remember people complaining about all of the weed in it. like, if that bothers you why the hell would you watch a f13th movie? it’s like watching a Hugh Jackman movie and complaining that there’s bad acting in it.

i think the remake is good enough. sure in hindsight there were a few bad ideas and sloppy details, but at least it brought the franchise back to life. ..unlike rob zombie’s halloweens which led the rebooted storyline down a path that is impossible to do anything with.

It cracks me up a bit that people that dislike the reboot hate it on because of too much sex and drug use.

Huh??????????????

Yea, Ben. The single most baffling complaint about the new film is your comment. Not that I think people are wrong for thinking it, but it is one of the things that sold the original films. You know, sex plus drugs equals death.

This is a Friday the 13th film andf outside of the fact that there was a pot plant field, the drug use was about the same as fan fave “Part 3″.

I love the reboot and have watched it many times since in debuted in theaters in Feb of 2024. I understand people have a right to their own opinion about the film but some of the gripes about the film that I read on blogs like this show that haters contradict themselves by bashing elements of the reboot with what they liked about films in the original series. (i.e. sex, bad language, drug use)

I grew up on the originl film series and loved the Paramount run, this includes parts 5 and 8. I was never crazy about new lines part 9. I did like part 10 but they just did not feel like Friday films to me. Freddy vs. Jason got things back on track for me and thne the reboot finally had the feel of the old films, for me at least.

The reboot is my favorite remake and I feel that the strength of it going with a new story with sprinkled elements of the earlier films lies in it’s strength. It simnply did not rehash the original films like so many remakes have done I look forward to many more films and hopefully Derek Mears will return to the Jason role. He is the best Jason since CJ Graham in my opinion

BTW I still hate part 5 and feel the same way now as I did 25 years ago. But as bad as 5 is, its F-ing Shakespeare compared to part 9. Its the only sequel I won’t own.

I loved the remake. It had a few more dislikable character but other than that I really liked it. If you think about it part 4-part X had a lot of dislikable characters also. Plus far more cheese and unintentional humor. I’ve been a fan since 1980 and I’ll take the remake over every sequel since part 4 with ease.

I only had 2 problems with the reboot, the over the top sex scenes and drugs, other than that, I loved it!
