We have all the seasons for any story.Plenty of woods,lakes,cabins,etc..... But probably most of all the tax breaks now and plenty of other stars now coming here to film and new studios moving here for that very reason.

The film was fine. It was a throwback to the old 80's slasher films. Most of you, weren't even around or barely remember the 80's. This is the way horror films of the 80's, were produced. They were successful then, and now. Of course this film had a few flaws, it's a slasher flick, people. But, coulda been a helluva lot worse. I thoroughly enjoyed it, because the film brought back old memories and good times, when I was growing up. Besides, it was number #1 at the box office the first week and broke the record, for a slasher released film. Sure, it will drop off dramatically, the second weekend. All slasher films do. They didn't do any advertising, the second weekend. That's my only complaint, "WHY NOT?" You're #1 at the box office, the previous week. Advertise that Jason was #1, to bring more curious viewers to the theatres, to find out why Jason was #1. I guess that's why i'm not a producer...lol The film will probably be off the big screen, after a month of release. So what. The movie made money and beat out all these BORING academy nominated films, during Oscar time. Plus, smacked around a few so called Hollywood bigshot producers and idiot know-it all stars, like Sean Penn. So, give it all a rest. The film brought success and breathed new life, into the series. And if you complain more, then you really missed the whole reason for the film; after 12 films and nearly 30 years later, "Friday the 13th" and slasher films are still #1. Take that, Roger Ebert...lol Quit moaning, whiners. The film was fine. It was a throwback to the old 80’s slasher films. Most of you, weren’t even around or barely remember the 80’s.

Well said, Kiah, that's pretty summed up my opinion. Some of it was really weak but when it worked it was cool! ‘I would rate the killings and the new Jason an A+, the script a D- and the casting, besides Jason, Jared Padalecki, and Danielle Panabaker was a F.’ Well said, Kiah, that’s pretty summed up my opinion.

I found this movie to be insulting to assume it's a re-start of a series. It's NOT a remake! Part 13 hopfully will but a end to Jasons missery! It they wanted to remake this than lets make it scary not unintentonaly funny. It should have started with the life of mis voorhees and gone more indepth with Jason as a kid to his death and his mothers killing spree This movie sucked and to those wanttng a sequel go watch the original ones.

Jason was actually scary, it stayed true to the originals, jason's cabin(f13th part 2) his mothers deacapitation (f13th) and when he is hanged inside the barn and didn't die he's just moving around(f13th part 3) and plus the ending was similiar to the ending of the 1st friday. Jason is the anti-hero, he's pure evil and more killer ever before, derek mears rocked with the hockey and the machete.

Over that span of time we've basically seen it all from him. i don't really understand what people expected from this movie. like how high should anyone's expectation of a friday the 13th movie be? people need to stop comparing this movie to the first few of the series. back then everything was fresh and new and caught people off guard. now we live in a world where we have already seen everything and nothing is left to the imagination. 12 movies featuring the character of Jason Voorhees.

In parts 1 and 2, we see parts of the small town, but Jason never goes in the town, except for beginning of part 2 to kill off the main character from 1. I guess they could make jason go in town and wreck havoc. Someone mentioned about the small towns people go burn jason’s cabin.

I am a hardcore fan of the first four installments and I watch them all the time. I have went through two VHS sets and I am on my third DVD box set. I also went and bought the blue ray for part 1 when it came out. I would rate the killings and the new Jason an A+, the script a D- and the casting, besides Jason, Jared Padalecki, and Danielle Panabaker was a F. What I love about the first four F13's is how you care about the characters and how they are very believable. They also have some common sense. They also don't wobble around the whole time drunk and with a bong in their hang. (Minus the hippy couple from part3) I think the new F13 is a combination between a horror film and Abercrombie and Fitch catalog. The issue I have with this cast is, why would you go with a group of people camping that you really didn't like? I also hate how the black guy or girl in a new horror films are always a gangsta, gonna cut you, and put themselves out there to be killed. Why can't they act like the other kids and be smart. Why does the Asian guy gotta be the nerdy, fix things kid? I hated that they had the little prick, that went around saying this is mine or that is mine. I mean what sticks with you in the old ones is how you cared for the victims that died and it really had an emotional impact on you. Did you notice how the black and Asian guy were somewhat segregated from the group in the new F13remake? I like how a movie can play with your emotions and mind. I also think what makes the old ones so magical is the time period. They didn't have cell phones or gps's. What if the survivor in one of the older films got into there car, realized they left there keys inside and called On-Star to crank their car via satellite? LOL I mean that would totally take the magic out of it. They should have made it in the 80's setting, which Michael Bay normally is good at doing with time lines. I was very disappointed with the script. I think they could have really dug deeper. Maybe made the creepy old lady Pamela Vorhees sister, or relative or something. I also didn't like how they started the movie off with the killing of Alice and Mrs. Vorhees. You would think they would have come up with something different to start the movie. I have alot of respect for Adrian and Betsy and Michael really messed up when he attempted to recreate that scene. The scene lacked emotion. I will give them a A+ on the death scenes as far as the creativity of them. I thought it was so clever how Jason tied the girl above the campfire in the sleeping bag to burn while her boyfriend's foot was caught in the trap and helpless having watch. That creeped me out the most, because you felt the helplessness of the character. I will say they could have found a better way to kill Jason. I also hate how Michael Bay never lets you feel closure to a movie, even if you know there is going to be a sequel. I mean who would go through a ordeal like the two survivors did, then drag him all the way down to the lake to dump his body? Come on! The script seemed to be scattered until after they all get to the house and by the time you do start getting into it, its over. I think that the fans deserve something way better than what we got. If the Jason has to be in the present, why not bring the survivors back from the originals and let them do a face off. I think it would make a much better movie!
