Friday The 13th (2009) Discussion

[AnoesVSFt13th]

I seen it again tonight and I must say it sucked. Point blank period...It sucked. 

The comedic relief was corny..It wasn't scary at all..

Just everything about it felt so fake except for Derek Mears Jason. I thought he was great.

I'm very disappointed.

I saw this movie. And I thought it was pretty good. Some things could have been included more like the introduction of daddy and other things. But over all, I thought it was great stuff. Money well spent in my opinion. I went in with an open mind knowing it wouldn't be like the original ones, and I was pleasantly surprised. A job well done.

This was one series that needed a remake I think, and truthfully I think this Jason is much scarier then the old one. Much faster and more aggressive. Madman in the woods like that would be enough to give me a few chills. I enjoyed seeing Jason the first time again. Can't wait for the sequel!

But the question remains. Is this a sequel or a remake. It would be really, really easy to fit this story in with the original timeline! Its not so strange seeing or considering Jason taking a hostage, it's not much of a stretch. Look at twilight and all the "Good" vampire stories they make. Vampires wouldn't do that stuff but yet, they keep on doing it. I liked it and it was still evil, worse then just killing in some respects.

Go see it man and you can know whats up. Im sure most people here have seen it by now anyways. But still. Go see it. Im gonna go see it again I think!

What's your favorite kill in the new Friday the 13th?

For me, it's go to be the double kill of burning sleeping bag and bear trap/machette to the head.

I'll give it 4 weeks before you all start hating this film.

Many people liked Freddy Vs Jason when it came out ( well i think they did ) and look at it now!

Some hardcore Michael/Halloween fans LOVED the remake , now its just MEH !

I saw FvsJ in the theater and thought it was really bad. But, some parts I do enjoy now. . . same with the Halloween remake. So I'm not too worried about this one. But I still don't love them lol

Bree and Trent(Slut and Prep-Jock) should have been Double Impaled

I was totally waiting for that to happen!

I'm just surprised that it was better then FvsJ (which I didn't really like) considering the same people wrote it. I was really worried that it would turn out a lot worse then it was.

And I agree that it could be a sequel set within the earlier films

I just got a copy of FvsJ on Blu-Ray looks great !

This new movie was o.k. some great kills 
Things that could have been better:
Mrs. Voorhees maybe more of her would have been better.
The music seemed to me out of place for a Friday the 13th film....
More of course but I don't want to seem picky

This weekend Friday the 13th took the #1 spot at the box office with 42.2 million. Needless to say the sequel will be greenlight soon enough.

SWEET!

This was the best Voorhees movie since THE NEW BLOOD. It did feel like more of a sequel than a remake, which was fine with me.
My only complaint> The movie was too dark, not in tone, but the picture itself.
Lots of good gore fx and NUDITY!!!!


Spoiler warning!
Now I know why Jason kills> People keep stealing his weed!

i just got back from seeing it and thought it was very well done. i loved all of it except for the ending. im really glad they did a better job with this one than the awful halloween remake. but anyway back to friday the 13th the opening credits were great with mrs voorhees. i was a little confused in the begining. i was just thinking why is everyone being killed so quickly? then i was happy to see that it was just the intro. i saw someone mention they didnt like the music but i really liked the music. it gave the movie a very modern feel to it. like it was truly a present day jason voorhess. i wish they would have tied in a little of the orginal into it. and of course the ending  was very cliche and predictable.  but overall i loved it.
