    I remember when I first saw the trailer, having never actually sat down and watched a Nightmare or Friday the 13th movie, this felt like a big deal. It's STILL one of my favorites, and frankly has a more coherent plot and character motivation than some other crossover movies I could name (as well as a better final battle). I went in to see: 1) gratuitous nudity, 2) creative kills, and 3) Freddy and Jason go absolutely ripshit on each other. And it delivered all 3!

      @@TheHaddonfieldRegistry everyone involved _except_ Ronnie Yu says it was Yu's decision. Yu asked New Line, New Line said he could if he wanted to. After the big backlash, Yu lied and said New Line demanded it because Hodder wanted too much money. Despite the fact that Hodder produced faxes and emails showing he had offered to take a stuntman's salary instead of an actors one in order to be in the film, as Freddy vs Jason was his literal dream project. So yeah, it was Yu and don't believe his absolute nonsense that he had no choice or was somehow forced into it.

    It was quite faithful more towards Freddy's lore with acknowledgement being part of his power source. Which hasn't been mentioned since the first one.
    While it seems to skim over Jason's lore like they've only read the box covers or just seen one of the later films like Takes Manhattan. Which to be fair a lot of the sequels skimmed over the lore for the Friday the 13th series.

    I think it was New Line that wanted a new Jason. And yeah, Jason being afraid of water was dumb. The writers said that they wanted the plot point of Jason being afraid of drowning because that's how he originally died, but all the rewrites made it seem more like he was just afraid of water.

    The fictional drug hypnocil made its first appearance back in Nightmare 3, so that was a good mining of the franchise lore. We see that in its first appearance, it was used experimentally to help kids ward off Freddy for just a little while, buying time while they figured out what was going on. But in this movie we saw authority figures misuse it, drugging kids to the point of putting them in comas.

    Recasting Jason was a big mistake, as well as dropping the classic themes of both horror Icons.
    Everything else was ok in my opinion. I had a blast watching it.

    When Jason just leaps out of the water to get the victim, he's just trying to say, "ohmygosh, I was SO SCARED! HOLD ME!"

    It’s been 20 years and this is not only one of my favorite summer flicks but one of my favorite horror movies too
    I actually didn’t find out about this movie apart from one trailer and a newspaper article
    Two of the most famous slasher icons finally come face-to-face in this unique crossover
    The project actually spent so much time in development hell plus the fact that ‘Friday the 13th’ was with Paramount and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ belonged to New Line Cinema
    But once the rights switched over Jason Vorhees and Freddy Kruger could finally be in the same movie, it was just a matter of how to bring them together
    Director Ronny Yu from ‘Bride of Chucky’ delivers some terrific gore, fun action set pieces, and has great chemistry with these two slasher villains thanks to writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift
    The soundtrack is one of my absolute favorites, it has a brisk running time, and Robert Englund gives the most energy he’s had playing the killer with knives on his hands
    New actor Ken Kirzinger isn’t too shabby either as Jason being brutal not letting anything phase him much less a monster from the dream world
    This was also my first introduction Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, and Katherine Isabelle
    When the movie is actually about Freddy and Jason it kicks ass, there’s great doses of humor too with slick visuals
    Even Freddy Krueger gets a new makeup job as we see how much prosthetics have changed
    There’s a glorious self-awareness that you can’t help but notice
    The final showdown is the absolute best part where fans get the best of both these killers duking it out
    Although when the movie isn’t focusing on that it’s the same ol slice and dice formula with disposable human characters even if they do match the 2000s era
    The conspiracy plot to cover up Freddy Kruger is interesting but it doesn’t really go anywhere
    Yet an overall theme of children paying for their parents crimes is apparent throughout
    The film was still a box office hit even if the reviews were mixed at best paying homage to both franchises that have lasted for over 40 years
    Whatever the case the movie still is loads of fun to watch the bloody carnage unleashed by these two horror icons that definitely came from a rocky start

    If remember right the original idea which was later done as a comic was Freddy vs Jason vs Army of Darkness where would have had Ash fighting both. Its why the Necronomicon was in the house in Jason goes to Hell

  • @BWMagus
    @BWMagus 5 років тому +2

    I'm not sure why everyone wanted this match-up. In dreams, Freddy is unbeatable; in reality, Jason is unbeatable (more or less). You don't even really "fight" Freddy, you just figure out how to exploit the bizarre metaphysics of his realm against him. At least Jason versus Michael Myers would be two unstoppable juggernauts locked in combat, like Heracles and Antaeus, and not an old man boxing a giant.

    Christ I love this movie. Yes it changed some of the lore, but when the movie is fun, who cares? Considering all of the stupid jank that happened in the previous movies, this one was pretty tame in comparison. Also the fact that it's more of an action movie than a horror movie is a big plus imo. Yes, the original franchises were horror movies, but the darn title is called Freddy vs Jason. You expect a rumble, not a spooky crawl fest

    The snob in me finds it highly offensive that it only takes less than 5 months for something to become a part of the "best of" the cinema snob collection! The next thing you'll be telling me that Kramer vs. Kramer isn't about two has been comedians yelling racial slurs that don't apply to either at one another!

    I can answer why her nose was not sliced off in the real world because at that time Freddy wasn't strong enough it was the fear that added to his power.

    Brandon Fletcher is probably the best actor in those movies. Say what you want about the quality of the movies he's in but he always seems to give it his best shot. Maybe a bit over the top at times if I had to be picky though. I think he's pretty awesome though.
