overall not a bad remake not a patch on the original but remakes rarely are in my humble opinion, saying that i dont think fans of jason will be disappointed this film has everythink you have come to expect from Friday the 13th movies definately worth a watch 3/5

Better than the original. I'd much rather see Jason...not his mother.

I've seen all the Friday the 13th movies since 1980, and after seeing this film, I found it brought nothing new to the Jason Vorhees franchise except how he goes about killing everybody, and even that's hardly original.

For fans of these movies, we all know how it starts out: Jason drowns; his mother avenges him; she gets killed; Jason lives and resumes taking out camp counselers. Why not title it "Friday the 13th Part XII"?

This new film is the same as all the rest -- stupid, drunk/high sex-hungry college kids go out to a remote camp/cabin on Crystal Lake, they sense danger, yet seperate and go in different directions, get taken out one by one, Jason is "maybe" destroyed, the kids leave without checking him. The End.

And this "re-imagining" isn't even scary. Everywhere people are, Jason is right there waiting for them...in the next room, behind the shower curtain, in the shed, on the roof, under the house, etc. No suspense whatsoever -- how can you be scared of what's around the corner if you already know he's there?

Skip this one and watch the original first two films - more suspense and a better, more complete storyline.

Are you fucking with me because I'm high?

A group of campers unknowingly camp out on Crystal Lake. They are brutally slaughtered and never found. One of the camper's little brother heads to the lake to find his missing sister. He happens to encounter a group of college kids who are staying at a camp on the lake that weekend. The little brother's search will not be fruitless.

"For the record, you're never drinking my piss."
"That's what you think."

Marcus Nispel, director of A Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Pathfinder, and the upcoming Conan and Pacemaker, delivers Friday the 13th. The storyline for this film is mediocre and on par with other slasher flicks. The settings are appropriate and the acting is average. The cast includes Aaron Yoo, Amanda Righetti, Jared Padalecki, and Willa Ford.

"Remember when you took my virginity? I'm going to fuck you so hard."

Friday the 13th was a movie I heard mixed reviews about upon its release. I will say that the kill scenes were inconsistent but a few were clever and well delivered. The story wasn't delivered well; however, Nispel used the cast's bodies to perfection. There was plenty of bodies on display and numerous death scenes were presented in the nude. Overall, this is worth seeing only if you enjoy slasher films.

"I have a better chance of fucking a penguin than that girl."

Grade: C

This movie I think it is more of a teenagers flick. I thought this was one of the best ones of the friday the 13th series. Obviously the first one is the best! I probably think jason is awesome in this one he is smarter and can be communicated with. for the second one they should not have him for the next one. He should be a symbol like in the batman movies. Back to my opinion. I know there were a lot of sex scenes in this movie. But do not forget the 4th one that had the most, you cannot hate this movie for sex scenes that is an excuse. But other than that it is predictable. The theme in this movie went and flow through really well.

I'm not going to complain about all the cliches and stuff. Anybody over the age of 12 knows what to expect from these type movies. Does that make it critic proof?

Not hardly... The first 20 minutes were very poorly handled. We're introduced to a some teens that naturally go to crystal lake and get killed music video style. Considering the director is a music video guy, I can say I wasn't surprised by this. But it's the worst part pf the movie. I was seriously starting to think this was going to be Uwe Boll style. But the rest of the film was better. But the bad news is that even though it's better, it's still a bad remake. Once again the film is playing out in a music video style, but just not as bad. The poor pacing makes the whole thing feel rushed and really tough to enjoy watching. That wasn't a problem in Marcus Nispel's remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That film had a good slasher pacing too it. It's not perfect, but it's a much better effort than this.

But this was such a letdown. I would say that I liked it more than part 8, 9 and 10. But even Freddy vs. Jason rises above this poor remake.

FRIDAY THE 13 REMAKE OKAY I WAS EXITED TO WATCH IT I SEN THE DOCUMENTARY HIS NAME WAS JASON, AND WHEN I FINALLY WATCH IT IT SUCKED I MEAN IT HAS THE FORMULA , AND THAT IS BOOBS,JASON,AND THE KILLS I THOUGHT THE STORY WAS BAD AND THEY COULD OF DID BETTER AND HOPE FULLY THEY DON'T RUIN A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, THIS SUMMER FRIDAY THE 13 PART 2 IN 3D COMES OUT I HOPE IT IS BETTER THE THE FIRST REMAKE.

Friday the 13 tries so hard to be scary that it's actually funny.

Much better than any of the original Friday the 13th movies by far. They got really creative with the kills in this movie which showed the makers they were having fun with this movie.

Somewhere along the way, the word "remake" has gotten a bad connotation. So some genius came up with the word "reboot", which this claims to be. But the word "reboot" suggests a filmmaker who takes a familiar franchise and takes it in a new, fresh direction. There is nothing new or fresh about this, as it feels more like just another lame sequel than a jumping off point for a new franchise. I liked the new look of Jason when he had the burlap sack over his head, but he finds the hockey mask all too soon. Director Marcus Nispel obviously felt compelled to give the audience the horror icon they're clamoring for. There are some cool new kills that salvage this some, but they feel oddly restrained in the days of "Saw" and "Hostel". The plentiful nudity helps too. And I guess only a true horror buff would point out that this is a remake of "Friday the 13th Part 2" as what was the original film is crammed into the opening credits of this flick. Fans of the series deserved better than this.
