I saw it yesterday and thought it was good, but by no means great. In the wake of the SCREAM trilogy and HALLOWEEN H20, I'd been expecting an irritatingly "postmodern", "ironic" and "knowing" film stuffed with silly in-jokes ("The Krueger place? It's the last house on the left past the Bates Motel", characters with surnames like Cronenberg and Hooper, etc.). However, I was pleased to discover that it's pretty close to a good old-fashioned slasher movie with a fair amount of T&A and gore.

The acting is unexpectedly good (trust me, Monica Keener is going to be a huge star), and the script deals deftly with the high school caste system and teenage angst. The visual style is impressive (although director Ronny Yu seems overly fond of overhead shots, and shows signs of a Russ Meyer-esque obsession with big boobs), and the film is intelligent and entertaining, on the whole.

However, I found the ending a let-down (SPOILER

Spoiler

neither Freddy nor Jason wins, so don't expect to find out who's the tougher monster - sheesh, wasn't determining who's top dog the entire point of the film?

SPOILER), and I wouldn't recommend FREDDY VS. JASON to anyone who isn't already to some extent into the FRIDAY THE 13THs, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREETs and suchlike. FREDDY VS. JASON won't win any converts, but it's an enjoyable romp for the faithful. And Lord knows, both the Jason and Freddy franchises have inflicted far, far worse movies on us.

I saw it last night. It's a movie so retarded, you have no choice but to sit back, have fun, and love it. I had a lot of fun, but I pity the poor moviegoer who goes into it taking it seriously.

Apparantly a sequel has already been signed up. It's either going to be called JASON Vs. FREDDY or FREDDY vs. JASON 2.
In my opinion they should do FREDDY vs. JASON vs. MICHAEL. That would rock!!

[rafterman]

really these are movies for people who like these kind of movies....so if you didn't like any of the others there is no reason to expect to like this one...I'm eager to see it though...

Actually, the rumors that I've heard said that New Line Cinema wants to pit Freddy and Jason against........ASH, as played by Bruce Campbell in the EVIL DEAD movies. If they can get rights to the character, and get Bruce to agree to it, I'd love to see it happen - F Vs. J was done rather well, so if they got the same cast (well, basically just Englund and the actor who played Jason) and crew, the second one could do possibly as well.

But anyway, i saw the movie. I never really followed either of the series, but I did see one of the NIGHTMARE flicks, but I really, really enjoyed the film. Robert Englund was a riot and added so much character to the movie. Also, that actual Fredd vs Jason scenes were very well choreographed and it was just overall very entertaining.

I've read the over and over again on Horror sites and from what I've read so far it just seems to be wishful thinking that there'll be a F+Jvs.A.

I've heard so many things:
-The afformentioned Freddy vs. Jason 2 or Jason vs. Freddy
-That Michael Myers is next to be pitted against another horror icon. Since he's DIMENSION i'm guessing it's Ghostface from SCREAM Lol!
I've also heard that H9 is in production and being a big fan of the Halloween movies, I'd rather have a mindless gorefest of Michael vs. somebody than another pointless sequel that disrespects the original and ignores parts 2-6.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Wow, Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash would be wicked. I've never even seen a Nightmare or Jason movie, but I would see it just to see Bruce Campbell fending off the two with a chain saw and shot gun. Groovy. As for another vs. film with horror icons, Myers vs. Leatherface might be interesting. The remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming up, so that would build up the hype.

[JackChase007]

I would just love to see an EVIL DEAD 4. BC has been saying that studios aren't willing to give them money because it's not as finacially successful as people would like. But you'd think that with Raimi's newfound popularity and success that he could strike up something.

LOL.

I guess Loomis' spoiler is now redundant?

Let's have Alien Vs Predator now.

I keep forgetting about that one. As a big PREDATOR fan, I'm looking forward to that one very much.

Yeah, how did Michael's eyes grow back after being shot out in HALLOWEEN II?

[Johnny Tower]

Or how did Michael Myers grow his head back after the end of Halloween: H2O to reprise himself again in the next film, Halloween: Ressurection? Hmm, something to ponder.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

It's all explained there. Just go rent it or buy it, whatever, you'll see.
