This 2024 Jason resembles Schwarzenegger's Commando or Stallone's First Blood character.... this is not my Jason... (Jason with an olympic bow??, taking prisoners?, setting warning tinkerbells?,... c'mon!!!) Brink back the classic Jason!!!

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!

This is a good way to start over! Its weird seeing human Jason again but maybe the next one will have a little more zombie Jason (thanks to the end). And again although I would have loved to have seen Kane Hodder back in the mask,Mears was a good Jason. They had said they wanted the athletic build & not a complete power house so it would be believable that this guy had been running around growing up wild in the woods on his on hunting & shit. So heres to an even better sequel! And a killer unrated DVD! I think I like the direction they are taking the series in. This is a good way to start over!

Perhaps its not what Sean or Michael was reaching for..but it did create the old school atmosphere..the weed was left there by the guy in part two who dropped on the floor when he got speared..it grew through the years..I wrote a song above its meant as a joke..

Why Would The Cops Only Send One Unit Out To A Call About A Masked Murderer Killing Everyone At The House? 11. The Girl Who Was Held Hostage For Over 2 Months Long Under Jason's House Looked Pretty Damn Good & Healthy Didn't She? The Film Is Mediocre. Could Have Been Way Better.

I was watching Jason but he moved and reacted exactly the same way Meers did in his Hills character. Def. not the Kane Hodder jason that I grew to love, hell I was actually very pleased with how Ken Kirzinger played jason in F.Vs.J but Meers bombed this one. And what the hell was up with jason running everywhere?!? Jason was like a damn olympic cross country sprinter in this movie! I think jason ran once in the original part 3 or 4 but it seemed like everytime somebody ran from jason he hauled ass after em an killed em like a damn lion on a zebras ass. I almost want to say that they made him have too much human quality but at the same time I see where they were trying to go with it, but it fell flat on its face. I will say that all the kill scenes were very good about as original as you can really get with a little different twist on some old kills. Didn\'t understand the whole underground tunnels crap at all. Why the hell are there underground tunnels at a summer camp? Or did jason spend years upon years upon years digging all these out himself? If thats the case replace the burlap sack with a coal miners hat and it would make more sense. And don\'t get me started on the him kidnapping and holding the girl hostage thing. I understand the girl had the locket and jason probably saw her as his mom and heard his moms voice instead of hers but they need to elaborate more on that.. otherwise it makes jason look like a kidnapping hostage holding pervert that should be driving a van with newspaper over the windows hitting up the local playgrounds. There was so much more they could have done with this movie. This had the potential and the hype to be the best Friday yet but they swung and missed in my opinion. I mean we finally get away from Jason plays star wars and were back on earth (so lets just forget Jason X ever happened)and Freddy vs. Jason is outta the way (no complaints w/ that movie) and we actually had a clean slate to work with, put a new twist on the series and start over. Instead they came up with a pitiful excuse for a Friday movie hyped it up to be something its not and force fed it to us. They would have been alot better off just doing what Zombie did with halloween. At least he did exactly what he said he was going to do and that was look more into the life of michael myers which is what they should have done with this they hinted at it some but didnt follow it up. Overall I\'m just very disappointed, this movie seemed very stupid story wise, very weak on jason, and poorly produced. Next time lets get some producers and story writers that actually know something about the series and put together a film that makes sense, one that can be looked at as a true F13 film. Until then just leave the series alone before it gets drug through the mud too much and loses its fan base and appeal. Cause as a true F13 fan I know that other big fans of the series cannot be happy with how the series has been going as of late with Jason X now this. Only thing that saved the series from complete destruction was Freddy vs. Jason. So until we can get a new much better F13 film, lets all sit back and hope Zombie can revive the flatlining Halloween series, and maybe make a new Nightmare on Elm Street without destroying that series since its the only film series of the big 3 yet to be drug the dirt Very disappointed!In my opinion Meers played a horrible Jason, to me it resembled his Hills Have Eyes role WAY too much.
