Freddy Vs Jason - Movie Review

[@louismoore512]

For the most part I love the movie but a negative for me that most people ignore is Jason is NOT afraid of water. Just watch the past Friday's. He has no issues or hesitation going into the water.

[@solaris100]

Actually that fear has been put into him by Freddy in the movie. They just cut out some scenes so it looked like that Jason was afraid of water all along. /nerdfactsover

[@alonzotanner1226]

@@solaris100 Still that’s shit editing. That’s not our problem. It still is a valid negative. Just like in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan where fans keep defending Kirstie Alley’s overtly emotional performance as a Vulcan with the editor of that movie cutting out the scene that explained that she’s half romulan. That and that it was mentioned in the novelization which is usually taken as canon. First of all, most people don’t like to read novelizations of movies and second, it was taken out in every cut of the film. Not our problem.

Absolutely love Freddy Vs Jason, Such a fun film and I think is very underrated. Probably one of my most watched blurays! I actually don't mind Ken's Jason for the sole reason of how huge and badass he looks. I would definitely take a sequel! Great review man - George

[@CodyLeachYT]

Talk Movies With Us Thanks man! Yeah he's not terrible but to me he seems very uninspired compared to other actors...especially Derek Mears! I wore this movie out on DVD when I was a teenager so I hear ya on that. Hoping for an eventual sequel too that would be awesome!

[@dylanthomas1673]

[@Knoxkuma13]

@ joshua lester. He stated he would only do a prequel. Id be down for it . Now for a vs film give me art the clown from terrifier vs candyman or leprechaun vs pennywise.

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

When you think about it, Freddy never really *did* have a very high bodycount. Jason kills a *lot* of fucking people, but he does it pretty efficiently, whereas Freddy prefers to spend a few nights scaring the shit out of his victims before actually going in for the killing blow. It plays nicely into that contrast between them, where Freddy is a character with a very clear personality, while Jason is more a creature of pure instinct.

[@CodyLeachYT]

+Distracted Globe Productions Yeah this is true

[@Xehanort10]

Freddy's sadistic and likes to draw out the pain, suffering and fear of his victims before he kills them since their fear gives him power and absorbing their souls after he kills them makes him stronger. Whereas Jason just kills people straight away. That's what Freddy vs Jason tries to highlight IMO. Even though they're both evil Jason is the lesser of 2 evils because as his hell in that film shows Jason kills because he feels he has to. He doesn't actually want to. But in his mind his victims are doing stuff his mother, prude that she was would disapprove of so to him they have to die. He also just wants to be alone in the Crystal Lake woods but people keep coming back to the camp and disturbing his peace. And he also wants to keep the camp closed because he doesn't want anyone going back to the place where he nearly drowned and where his mother was killed. Freddy on the other hand simply kills because he likes killing. It's sick fun to him and unlike Jason Freddy wants to kill. Jason's hell in FVJ was that people wouldn't stop coming to the camp and he had to kill them over and over again for all of eternity. Freddy's hell was that he couldn't kill anybody. Doesn't take a genius to figure out which of them's more evil. Jason was made into a monster by being mistreated simply because he was deformed and seeing his mother die. Freddy was born a monster and chose to be one.

[@kylemendoza8860]

It's not that he prefers. It's that he needs their fear.

[@ricardocisnero3931]

Glad you mentioned the fact that Freddy only got one kill! Every other reviewer I watched reviewed this movie never mentioned that he only got one kill! You're the first I've heard mentioned it! Thanks!

Technically, he had two _onscreen_ kills, if you count Lori’s mother in that nightmare/flashback.

[@robertrapoport2093]

Dead meat points it out

[@ricardocisnero3931]

@Dodge SRT Viper GTS from Forza games Wrong. Those kills were of the past, so they don't count. He only had one present kill in the movie. If you count those two, then technically you would also count the ones in his flashback that showed all his past kills in past movies. See my point? He only had one kill.

[@NativeWrestler]

Damn man finally I meet someone else who actually likes this movie I loved this as much as you. Some things I didn't like about it was the portrayal of Jason. I'm a huge Jason fan. And some of the acting especially Kelly Rowland's acting. But I loved the fight between the 2, especially when the fight comes out to the real world. When I saw a ad for the website I was a stoked. And for me, it delivered. I absolutely LOVE the killer soundtrack.

Freddy Vs. Jason was the best of both! I loved that film. I was for team Jason but I'm a Freddy fan as well. I do wish they'd have gotten Kane Hodder back and if Freddy Vs. Jason 2 ever gets made they just need to bring him back. Interesting fact: Ken Kirzinger was the same guy that Jason through over the dining room table in that caffee scene in Jason Takes Manhattan.

[@jizzer9000]

one script had an even better ending. After beating each other to a bloody pulp, the both fall to the ground, manic lightning erupts in the background and they both get up, jason chops freddy's arm off and freddy slits jason ears off. They become very dizzy until the arms from JGTH grabs them both and sends them to hell, A figure could be seen through a roaring fire, the strange man walks towards the beaten and bloody brutes; he has a pale white face with metal pins on it with a silky black robe, "what seems to be the problem gentlemen". Of course it is not word for word but IMOW.

[@shadowdramon01]

Probably my favorite part is the cornfield rave and how unstoppable Jason is, to the point where he keep moving even when they set him on fire. Plus, it has one of the best “asshole gets what he deserves” horror movie deaths, where the guy tries to r**e the passed out drunk girl and while she’s being chased by Freddy in the dream world, Jason impales them both with his machete.

[@greenpsyco1264]

But I think the logic behind why Freddy gets one kill is to make Freddy go oh I made a big mistake because in his mind he would have thought it was a good idea to bring back Jason but when he realise that Jason is not going to stop killing he has to stop Jason so Freddy can start killing again without Jason killing everyone.

[@CodyLeachYT]

+GreenPsyco 12 Yeah I agree I still would have liked at least one or two more kills from Freddy. He still would've paled in comparison to Jason's body count.

[@thehorrorhound6575]

I heard a rumor one time that one of the planned sequels that fell through was that Michael Myers would be in it. Micheal vs Jason would be pretty awesome since Micheal basically inspired Jason in the beginning

Michael never belonged in the same universe as Freddy or Jason. In the 80's it was all about Freddy or Jason. Michael would go 7 years wiithout a film during the peak of slasher films. I love Halloween but Michael is better as being grounded. Also he is a slower and much weaker version of Jason

And idc what anyone says this is the best looking Freddy & Jason I've seen compared to their looks in their own series But I did was thinking damn how much blood can Jason lose? I kinda thought Freddy was getting a handicap. (Been like 6 years since I last seen it). Damn u said the same shit I basically said about Jason after my comment 😂

Yeah, but looking back on old 80’s and 90’s film give that old fashion scare that the new generation lacks. Today it’s about cussing little kids to get comical relief. Though there some 2000’s movie I actually like, just not this one.

[@vengefuldanny8644]

I loved the soundtrack too, I always remember staying to the credits just to hear "Army Of Me" and "When Darkness Falls"

[@jslane11]

Our opinions align perfectly with this one Cody. I don’t know how it could’ve been done better story wise. Freddy doesn’t have any power because Springwood has covered him up and forgotten him. So he lets Jason loose knowing that the town will think it was him, raising their fear, and restoring his power. Really clever, I like it a lot. Now, Friday the 13th is my all time favorite movie franchise. Jason is easily the weakest part of this movie. I don’t like the portrayal. I don’t like the burlap jacket look. I definitely don’t like that they made him afraid of water. As a Jason guy, I was definitely let down by that. But this is Freddy’s movie more than it is Jason’s, and Robert is FANTASTIC. So while not perfect, I still have a great time every time I watch it!

[@x-man9473]

Jason is the best part of the movie. I just don't like that this movie took so many liberties with Freddy and Jason. I get why. They didn't want to upset either franchise and they know Jason would destroy Freddy otherwise. But they took WAY too many liberties for my taste.

[@robertnase33]

They had an alternate ending they wanted to do, but could not afford it. Giant hand raises up from the lake with both Jason and Freddy in the palm, fighting, then the hand closes pulling both Jason and Freddy down to hell, and draining the lake. They have the father to Monica's character find Freddy's glove, he grabs the glove, a demon hand comes up and pulls both the glove and the father down. They then cut to the demon world where Freddy and Jason fight for the rest of eternity, being entertainment for the devil and his minions. Still like the ending to this movie though.

I just rewatched it today, and though it's not a great film it's one of the better films in the series. I also enjoyed the callbacks to other Nightmare movies. The cornfield slaughter is somewhat like the pool party in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, the subplot around the mental institution harkens back to Dream Warriors and covering up Freddy's crimes like in Nightmare 1.

To give Freddy some moves in order to him having some chance in the real world against Jason.

Damn I’ve seen this movie probably hundreds of times and never realized that Freddy only killed ONE person until you said it 😂😂

[@blackskullraven]

The soundtrack is a gateway drug to heavy metal(mostly nu metal)

[@fletchershepherd7039]

Maybe Ken Kirzinger wasn't as great a presence as Kane Hodder or Derek Mears or the actor who played Jason in Friday The 13th: Part 6 Jason Lives and other previous Jasons but he delivered in the fight scenes vs Freddy and I thought he made a great Rusty Nails in the last Joy Ride film. But I basically agree with your praise of Freddy Vs Jason, it is a fun movie and Robert England was great as Freddy in what would be his swan song playing the character.

[@thehorrorhound6575]

Fletcher Shepherd i don’t hate on Jason X as much as a lot of people do but I don’t think it’s fair that was Kane’s swan song lol

[@Dreadnaught89]

i was thinking tht one reason they mighta wanted to change the jason was cuz they wanted a slower more lumbering jason to really make freddy appear faster and quicker in combat. Kane hodder jason was fast and explosive . so if u had jason from like part 7, 8 or 9 fighting against freddy, freddy would honestly be torn apart.

[@raykoshorek683]

I agree w/ you, Roguebrit Gravy1!!!!!!! (W/ a new surprise ending for the sequel of Freddy vs. Jason)

[@kabouterniek]

I loved it. And it's what you said..only one kill by Freddy. Never occured to me till now.

[@unlikelygamerd1518]

Think kens performance is ronny yu fault on the commentary track they talk about how ronny would tell ken slower slower and other stuff that shows ifn the movie

[@NoName-pg1dn]

Jason from freddy vs jason is the coolest looking jason imo

[@jerryhensley6255]

I just wish they would have kept Kane Hodder

[@CodyLeachYT]

+Jerry Hensley Same

[@tomcabler257]

I went to see this movie at the theater wasn't expecting very much and wound up liking it better than expected!

[@CodyLeachYT]

Tom Cabler Yeah this movie delivered everything I wanted in spades.

[@damienalexishammons2963]

I always wondered if Jason Voorhees knew he was going up against another killer.

[@whylikepie15]

The reason Freddy only gets one kill "and tbf it's a good one, probably the sickest thing in the movie" is because the plot point of Freddy turning on jason is the fact that Jason keeps getting all the kills before Freddy gets to kill them, "they're my children Jason"

[@tyronleung5276]

This movie should've been made when f13 part 7 and anoes part 4 was made

[@StonedAge_TV]

I 100% back this statement and I will go one step further and say f13 part 7 should of been jason vs carrie like it was planed to do

[@jessicarivera8734]

I'm a huge Freddy fan as you are and this is one of my favorites. I never noticed however that Freddy only kills one person. I don't know why I watch movie reviews on movies I've already seen but any who great review.

[@CodyLeachYT]

+Jessica Rivera Thank you. Watching reviews is an indirect way to discuss a movie so it's fun to check out others thoughts

[@imsentinelprime9279]

Jessica Rivera Jason Voorhees fan

[@andrewdonnelly7201]

I think freddy also killed all the kids in the coma in westin hills when he took over the stoners body

[@TheAwsomedude67]

Freddy vs Jason was the first horror movie I ever saw ..I was like 7 it scared me to death , and made me obsessed with Jason , and Freddy . I remember drawing a picture of Freddy at a restaurant on a kids menu . scared my parents for sure

[@CodyLeachYT]

Awesome

[@SeekerLancer]

This was the only movie I ever saw on release night and it was the best theater experience I ever had. This movie isn't perfect but it was exactly what it needed to be. We waited ten years for it and I don't feel like it was a letdown. If you want a horror movie you might be disappointed but if you want two classic movie monsters facing off, it's fantastically fun.

[@jamesmincks1217]

the fact that Kane Hodder was not cast as Jason ruins this film for me. Hodder is Jason.

[@geeked-outturtlesfan4288]

I liked it too. I mean the actors were so so at times but the guy who plays Jason Ritters friend I thought was great . The fight scene at the end.. holy shit, the blood. Yes! I mean its what you wanted to see. Them kick the shit out of each other. I, as a longtime horror movie fan had heard the constant rumors years ago about this happening . It was gonna involve Michael Myers, then it also had Leatherface and it was gonna be a battle in hell. Scripts got tossed around and rumors kept flying then finally as an 80s kid, who grew up a horror fan it came true. My two favorite slashers where in one film. The only negative besides having a member of Destiny child badly act through this film is that Kane Hodder didn't play Jason. Idk if you realize Ken Kirzinger (Who played Jason in this film) was in Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason takes Manhattan. He was in the scene where Jason walked into a bar and threw the bartender (Who was behind the bar in the beginning of the scene) into the glass window behind that bar. That was Kirzinger. Ironic he replaced Hodder who was an iconic Jason Voorhees. He wasn't a bad Jason though but ... yeah. FYI I heard they didn't get Kane Hodder because of his size. They wanted someone that towered over Robert Englund. I think Hodder would've added more depth to Jason and more violence in that fight. His kills in some of those past Jason movies that Hodder starred in shows how much better it could've been Love the opening sequence where Freddy's talking about how they tried to kill him in previous films . And how they forgot about him. It was a great nod to those films to old NOES fans. Never noticed the Freddy- not many kills things either. Youre right. He needed more deaths. Now that you pointed it out in gonna notice that now.

[@horrormythologyactionsci-f8874]

best intro ever

[@slugathasledge]

I loved the opening and the irony of the mic not being plugged in lol 😂... genius

[@Trabunkle]

Jason fan here, This movie was great, the fight scene between Jason and Freddy was awesome!

[@Rcheek2299]

True, I actually like Ken kirzinger as Jason

[@danpartridge8584]

They should create a sequel that begins with Freddy still manipulating Jason on Elm Street. Then, out of the blue, whichever vehicle Michael Myers has stolen can break down a few blocks away 😂

[@DarkDragon-vr7qu]

Can't wait for Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Review.

[@CodyLeachYT]

Dark Dragon Probably will be up by the end of next weekend.

[@nelcomargaming6612]

There is a sequel to Freddy vs Jason called Freddy vs Jason vs Ash

[@frankstout2253]

I like the look of Freddy in this one. But he’s still too much of the funny version from those terrible sequels. The Freddy worm or whatever that was possessing one of the kids was lame. Not bringing back Kane Hodder was a huge mistake. Hodder was the “angry breathing” Jason and would have brought something better. And having a Hong Kong director who wasn’t even a fan having Freddy Kung fu kicking Jason was so corny. And Jason afraid of water?!? Go watch the Friday movies and literally watch him go into the lake constantly. Can anyone actually say they were scared at all during this movie. It should be a horror movie first and foremost. On the positive side the plot was good and it could have been way worse.
