Freddy makes more fatal blows against Voorhees than he did to the cast of all 8 Freddy films combined. now we see why horny teens had such a hard time killing these bad boys. Cut through the "good guys" whom nobody really cares about since Freddy and Jason have been the stars since forever now, get through the human's boring backstory which will be forgotten in the FvsJ2 and wait for the inevitable moment when our "heroes" run from Voorhees where Freddy turns to the nearest kid and says, "Let me handle this, bitch." Now, ladies and gentlemen, it has begun. just enough "other elements" to keep entertaining unless you're an oldschool fan and tired of hearing the mythology over and over again in every sequel. A high point of the film - I've been dying to see Voorhees crash a party and just cut through teens ala Krueger style in Elm Street 2, and I finally got to see it. At least there's some variety and nods to old school F13 and NOES, some typical nods to the stereotyped horror formula which isn't scary but seems to be a requirement. because, seriously, 90 minutes of Jason and Freddy hacking at each other would get downright boring. everyone knows there's going to be a fight to remember, so Ronny Yu opts to prolong it as far as he can and just jam packs the ending with Slasher celebrities ripping into each other. While it actually takes awhile to get to the slasher deathmatch, you know it's coming.
I mean, I don't think in film history has the title been more descriptive of the point of the movie. The whole reason anyone should see this movie comes down to the three words in the title "Freddy versus Jason." If those three words do not interest you, don't even screw with FvsJ. Am I criticizing this movie? Not really since that crap-factor is a staple to the F13 franchise and the NOES sequels. Take your typical crappy Elm Street plot and cast your typical crappy Friday the 13th cast, and you have your typical crappy horror movie. You have 17 examples of what this movie is going to be like.
It is not a masterpiece of cinema it is not a masterpiece of horror. So unless the audience suffers from delusions as to the quality of the franchises this movie spawns from, you'll be pretty happy. It's A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 8 served with a side of Jason Voorhees.
