If Uber-Jason comes back, I won’t.

I enjoyed most of Jason X until he’s turned into the laughable Uber version of himself.

I don’t support the argument that a low budget stifles creativity. You simply need people who are creative enough to work within those constraints.

To blame a low budget is a cope out, IMO.

I agree with Penhall99. The movie was pretty awful. It’s still fun to watch now and again, but low budget or not, they could’ve made the last movie to feature the original Jason Voorhees a lot better. There’s a reason the studios had to reboot this series.

Jason X needs a proper sequel, or maybe even a conclusion. Comics are nice, but the Jason vs. Jason X one was just dumb.
This appears to be a great basis for a sequel, I mean with all the CGI and special FX advancements that have been made recently (Avatar comes to mind), this would work out perfectly. I mean, this is the last we’d see of the ORIGINAL Jason…
Though, if they were to bring the original series back, they should probably aim to bridge the gab between Freddy Vs. Jason and Jason X first, since audiences will be slightly more familiar with that.
My only doubt is how SCARY it will be, with such a scifi environment. I guess it all depends on the director, which Sean Cunningham is/was capable. Jason X actually could’ve been much worse in that department, for that matter.

I hope there will be a Jason X2..But this time have it taking place at Earth 2, and get him to battle some other unstoppable monster..make it a big explosive battle as Uberjason..it would rock!
If this movie would end and Jason maybe dead…we can always go back to JTM of Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash

Atleast the series has alot of open doors to get another sequel..and very different ones too….but for JX2 they really should get Kane back…

Penhall, JGTH was the worst Jason movie. Jason X was good. IF we had a future with space and IF Jason had survived for that long, what other kind of film could they make? Jason X was smart and very good.

Jason X was much funner than it had any right to be. Absurd concept. Absurd “upgrade” but it was fun. My main gripe with the movie itself isn’t any real plot point because quite honestly how much difference would tweaking a Jason in space movie do? Nah, my issue is the soundtrack. I think Harry Manfredini’s music didn’t fit that movie at all. They should have gotten someone else. It didn’t fit to a point of distraction.

The trailer had music more fitting to the movie.

I liked a couple of the characters and a few scenes, but I think it could’ve been set in the future without a spaceship, and without having an earth 2. Didn’t care much for sticking Jason on a spaceship.

I do love the poster art, however, and proudly have a framed theatrical poster of the film on my wall.

I read Farmer’s original script, and it was even worse than the finished film, IMO. No matter how big the budget, Jason X was a mess and a terrible film. I’m glad many fans seems to enjoy it now, but for me personally, its the worst Jason movie ever made. I honestly wish it had never even been made…but that’s just my opinion.

The more I watch Jason X, the more I like it. For one, I haven’t seen Jason X a million times like all the others, so I still can’t remember certain parts. Another thing I like about it is that they show Jason! JGTH fell short mostly due to limited screen time by the man himself. Fuckin’ demon worm. I would take Jason X over JTM, or JGTH any day.

I’d like to see Todd Farmer’s script, and these designs, incorporated into a comic book “Director’s Cut” (or, perhaps, “Writer’s Cut” would be more accurate). It would be cool to see how it was actually intended to be seen, instead of the finished product we got. Dark Horse comics was able to do this with Joss Whedon’s original script for the film of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and it was fascinating to see how the story the way Whedon originally envisioned it. Sure, it isn’t a movie, but the great thing about comics is that they don’t have budget or time restraints.
