Yeah... just think about Brooker, White, Graham or Hodder's version of Jason up againts Freddy.. it would have been so much different...
They had to balance them both out, Jason could have killed Freddy so easy in the real world, but they dragged it out and even had Jason crawling on the floor whilst Freddy slashes parts of his flesh off with a machete..

I did think Kane shoulda came back, but at the same time I liked how Ken towered over Robert.. even if it was different from the others.

I don't think that closet was all of Jason's victims.. or they'd have given nods to characters he's killed in previous installments.. I just thought it was a fear closet and when he opend it, it showed drowned people which meant that was his big fear (even though it isn't really..)

It seemed pretty clear to me that Freddy won. I'm not saying I wanted him to, but for me, he did. Also, the director said that he felt that Freddy won. The wink and the laughter at the end made me just figure that they were in dream world, making Freddy victorious.

Though both lived, due to Freddy's winkin' eye, I can see how it would be considered a tie. But, think about it, did you ever notice a certain recurring incident in every movie (Both Friday and Nightmare)? No matter what happens, they always come back (even if how they do it makes no sense at all). So, it's obviously a tie.

No one won. The film came across as A Nightmare on Elm Street movie that just happened to have Jason in it. That wouldn't be that bad as the main attraction of a NOES film is Freddy cracking one-liners and killing teenagers. However, in FVJ he didn't kill one god damned kid! The mainstream box office success of the film was all but guaranteed because of the "dream match-up" (pun totally intended) of Jason and Freddy but from a fan expectation stand point, it bombed. Look at it another way, if it were successful in any other way, they (New Line) would have green lit a sequel after its opening weekend. But they didn't. Even Rob Zombie's Halloween, which some have argued is the worst horror movie in recent memory got the sequel treatment. What does that say about Freddy vs Jason? I guess the real winners are all of the internet fans that said FVJ would suck, because they were totally right.

I would have to agree with Kane... its a tie... jason didn't behead freddy it was Lori. there are a lot of possible meanings behind the whole Freddy blinking thing, a few of them being that maybe jason was dreaming and none of that was true, then theres the angle that its the real world and freddy is going to some how come back and kill jason. but heres something that you may not have thought of... what if freddy is making jason sleep walk and he ends up beheading someone else whom we all think is freddy because jason believes it is...in a way that seems to far fetched but then again...is it really?

Paramount wasn't trying to reaquire the rights with the remake and I really doubt they want them or would attempt to get them again..
When paramount sold ther rights after Jason takes Manhatten part of the deal was that they kept the right to remake it, that was always theirs.
When New Line said they were doing a remake after their Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake did so well Paramount stepped in and said "woah, you can't do that, we own the rights to do that".
There was a legal battle and New Line and Paramount came to an agreement.
Look on new merchandise like posters and figures. The words "Jason Voorhees and Friday the 13th and all related characters, names and indicia TM MMV New Line Productions, Inc all rights reserved."
That could not appear if New Line didn't own the rights to use the name Friday the 13th in their titles.
They simply decided not to.
They were perfectly, legally, able to call Jason Goes to Hell Friday the 13th part 9, but decided not to. The same with Jason X, New Line decided aginst calling it Friday the 13th part 10.
Marketing strategy maybe, but New Line had and still has every right to use it, probably provided a number or subtitle accompanies it and its not a remake.
