    He was my favorite Jason actor. I loved the take they did on Jason in this movie. He’s the most terrifying of them all and it’s not an unfaithful interpretation to the original because in part 2 he was kind of a survivalist type who lived off the land and he was running around in parts 2, 3, and 4. Also I thought it was cool that they kept the sack head Jason.

      Kane was great at physical acting, in my opinion better at it than some of the other guys who've played Jason (although Steve Dash still remains my favorite in the role).
      This is something Derek Mears does well considering this movie's Jason is slightly different in action, so I'd be down with him coming back for a 2nd time.

    You ever seen part 2, 3, & 4 where he is a full blood human and run? I swear it seem like those who think Jason shouldn't run never respect the old films that started the franchise & are just Kane's fans. Kane was the one who made him slow in the first place. Derek's Jason is a throwback to when Jason was a living, breathing unstoppable human that run.

    Killers being loud and slow is bullshit, fast, quiet and agile is realistic, and the barbaric slaughter of people is what the character scares people with the most, not the long drawn out chasing the main character for 30 minutes before being killed like most bad horror movies lol. He may have done a little of that for the classic fans but he seems pretty much perfect for the role

    Ive dreamed of a friday 13th game as long as i can remember! I even have a great idea on how it could work. First, it would need to be unscripted to a certain degree so you would never know where jason is going to be. It should have a real-time day night cycle and be open ended. You can go anywhere, anytime but jason also could be anywhere and attack you randomly. Just imagine it. Maybe when you die you change to a different character. If you happen to kill jason then you can play as him.
