This movie is a psychopath's wet dream come true! Everything I ever wanted in a Jason flick. It isn't as bloody as a lot of the other ones but a hell of a lot more graphic. If my assumption of certain events is true, then it fixed up some major plot holes in the original movies, though I know some people seem to think that the more plot holes the better.....  If you are a fan of the old movies you'll gladly relive some of the best death scenes (well modified of course, but any true fan should know where they are from.) and other references to the old movies. I will give one spoiler (well it is one if you know me or can add two and two together), I did almost cry at one point in the movie. Jason looked so bad ass in this film, I couldn't believe it. He also wasn't altered too much. He was definitely the unstoppable killing machine everyone loves. If you are a fan of the films, especially the first four, then I would seriously recommend you go watch it, you will not be disappointed. |
