Like the characters in previous F13th movies were really intellectual teenagers? Kane Hodder will forever play Jason? The whole Jason is/isn't a pot farmer has already been gone over for those that were not paying attention. Alice Cooper isn't gonna write new songs just for F13? /and Rob Zombie doesn't like F13th. As F13th fans I think we've all had plenty left to our imaginations to explain. Now that the remake is out people think it needs more explaining as to why everything happens. I picked up on plenty of references from the old films and felt like alot of things were given enough attention to stay true to the classics. The movies are known to always get teared up my reviews. It seems like those critizing the film are the same reviewers that always critizied before for the same things. -Sex -Drugs -Stupid Teenagers -and an all too stupid misconception of Jason doesn't run Has the old generation of F13 fans foregotten or is the newer generation not acknowleding that these things make these movies.

As F13th fans I think we’ve all had plenty left to our imaginations to explain. Now that the remake is out people think it needs more explaining as to why everything happens. I picked up on plenty of references from the old films and felt like alot of things were given enough attention to stay true to the classics.

The movies are known to always get teared up my reviews. It seems like those critizing the film are the same reviewers that always critizied before for the same things.

-Sex

-Drugs

-Stupid Teenagers

-and an all too stupid misconception of Jason doesn’t run

Has the old generation of F13 fans foregotten or is the newer generation not acknowleding that these things make these movies.

(and, I'm not one who is down on the "younger generation." I still consider myself a PART of the "younger" crowd... Hell, I LOOK 10-12 years younger than I AM..) I have seen ALL of the F13 films... I was an extra in 2024 Maniacs (Robert Englund is a cool dude... I hate to see what the hacks behind the F-13 reboot do to "Nightmare..." but... I digress...) I absolutely HATED this "film" with a passion... I'm not going to nit-pick parts or point out the exact things I hated (there are far too many to list...) I think Derek Mears rocks and, is a great guy... That said, Kane Hodder IS Jason. I'm sorry... Getting him as Jason would have been the first step in doing this remake RIGHT... It should have been directed/written by people who understand the series... Period. My Bloody Valentine is a FINE example of a horror remake done RIGHT... It far surpasses it's original... It was fun... and, warrants repeat viewings... A rock soundtrack, featuring Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, etc. would have been great... For that matter, Zombie could have directed it and, done much BETTER... They just really dropped the ball here... I mean, I find good things in EVERYTHING... My friends sometimes get annoyed because I LIKE things too easily... and, I'm known to be an EASY critic... but, this steaming pile of filth just sucked the joy out of my life... I'd rather slice off my nads with a rusty spoon than EVER watch this F-13 remake again... Too harsh? Too bad... It blew...

So, in 2024 teens are this stupid, arrogant, low lifes & utterly moronic ridden sex & pot maniacs, I'm done. You're right, this movie is for you and not for me, I was never so happy to be 30 years old right now. I’m amused by the guy who said this movie portrays today’s youth, are you serious?

Did the writers watch See No Evil... didn't Kane's character Jacob Goodnight have the same setup in the motel? I'm gonna stop ranting about this movie. I just want to end it with... I was REALLY looking forward to this film and wanted to go in there and love it... but it was just a huge letdown... I am a huge Friday the 13th fan seen em all million times and enjoyed them all until this one I couldn't help but look at my cell phone to see what time it was hoping it was almost over. Thats bad! I am with Sanchez Jason Lives is my favorite one too along with 1,2,3,4... the rest are okay but this new one just didn't feel right it wasn't like i was watching a Friday the 13th or Jason movie it was just a blank feeling when I left the theater. So after this i'm done talking about this movie. See you guys again in a few years when they throw another one at us. Until they come up with something that remotley resembles any of the "GOOD" films I'll be happy.

Yeah all the writers did with this film was count the seconds till they could show weed or tits.... it was stupid no point to the story at all... Jason is just sort of there... Okay... he hasn't killed anyone till ... now.???? Okay... and like you said it seemed like the only reason he killed was because some potheads stole his weed... give me a fucking break why... why ... why ... why in all that is holy did they make this film so fucked up... How can new line or whoever the powers that be.. how could they have looked at this script/story and said hey.. this is gonna bring Jason Voorhees back and make him scary... Did it bring Jason back.. yeah but so did JGTH, JX, FvsJ... they brought him back but sucked none the less... was it scary... FUCK NO!!! I see this movie is making big bucks at the box office... and you know that, thats all New Line and the fucks that made this film care about... fuck it if it sucks we don't care we're getting our money. They will make another one more rediculas than this one... and laugh all the way to the bank.

I mean what was the rush with getting on with the kills, which by the way was nothing spectacular.. Couldn't the writers of this film at least give us a little insight as to why Jason was this way, I mean show some creativity what was it they only had enough reel for 90 minutes worth of film show me that you spent some time on the script other than how long before we start the killing.. Showus what happened to Big J at the camp when he drowned... And for those who say that Jason was humanized come on,who do you know drowns and comes back to life so please with that... Now my review of the film is was J a pothead it seemed that way to me and if not what was with all the scenes with marijuana in it, it just didn't make sense... The hostage didn't make sense albeit it looked like his mom but lets be real he does not take hostages... The girl going with that guy who was searching for his sister, who do you know would do something so stupid she never met this guy and shes in the woods searching for his sister with him idiotic.. The ending was just probably the saddest part of it all, with so many creative ways they could have done this that was ridiculous,they kill him and drag or whatever way they supposedly got him there was just out of this world truly dissappointing.. I must say I was very dissappointed and would have loved to see what Rob Zombie would have done with it although I didn't like Halloween either at least he thought about the script a little.. Which the writer of this did nothing of other than count the dollar signs... I saw the movie last night, Now I am a huge Jason fan and must say I was quite disappointed..

People need to realize that these are modern teenagers! Yes we have ipods and Youtube...Hello it is 2024. So the dialogue and mannerisms apply to THIS GENERATION of teens, just like the original movies did to the teens of the early 80's. I admit Its easy to be critical being F13 snobs that we are, but even I must admit they did a great job of bringing F13 back, and the promotion for this movie was awesome.
