I watch that movie and I don't feel anything like horror. There are many other horror movies which are really desperate to watch. Some of the movie which I really treat them as horror is mirrors really freaking awesome movie.

I loved FvJ.
Sure it wasn't scary but I thought the action was pretty cool and i'm not sure if attempting to make the movie super scary and serious would have been a great idea because the total idea screams fanboy straight from the pitch. I've watched it at least 10 times.
The gory money shots and the big brawl are the only real entertainment - although the effective one-liner occasionally pops up to keep you laughing in between decapitations.

I still love FVJ to this day, but I'll admit on any day that the movie has it's flaws. I still wish that the final battle could've been even longer than it was, but all in all, I think this is an enjoyable movie that pit two horror icons together.
Such a shame the sequel didn't come to fruition before the reboots & remakes came about.
Wow.... I am sure I made a thread like this 7 years ago haha.
anyways, I enjoyed the movie, it had comedy and slashing aspects throughout.
Yeah the acting was shit, the plot was shit.... and alot of people thought it was shit. But as a fan of both franchises (and a HUUUUGE Freddy fan), I was stoked. This was the first movie I ever sneaked into at the cinema because I was nowhere near the age of the rating.
Kind of ashame tho that this was Englund's last Freddy film, what a low to go out on

I enjoyed it, I thought it was a fun movie and and to see them fight was exciting, although I would have taken the victims out and just have had most of the movie with them two fighting. I'll watch it again but not until I've finished watching the Jason movies (I didn't know anything about Jason when I first seen FVJ sadly).
Couple of good moments, but it neglected a shipload of possibilities. Freddy should have been way more creative in the dreamworld fight, and Jason more brutal in his real world rampage. The 'Japan splatter' bloodfountain effects bugged me quite a bit too.

lol same here. I watch it once a year at least... Still think the end fight was one of the best live-up-to-the-hype film fights I ever saw.
Sure beat the hell out of AVP.... although the Scar/Grid fight was mostly epic.

Is this about not knowing Jason back then? Its one those things really, I just didn't get into watching them, I watched the Freddy movies, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser, but never Jason or Michael Myers for some reason.
I knew about them but thought they were more or less the same 'type' of killer. You know , slow, plodding , but always able to catch up to their victim.
But fear not, I have the Friday the 13th boxset by my bed and I'm making good progress and enjoying them too. Although I still can't grasp why anyone thinks going to Camp Crystal Lake is a good idea.
I like 7 the best the one with the Telekinetic chick.
And the reason people kept going back was because the town covered it up and kept changing the name of the place. The military "finally" dealt with him in Jason goes to hell.
