Was it just me or did the spoiled rich kid not look like a spitting image of Tom Cruise.

I've seen alot of good reviews for this remake.

I gotta admit I am kinda interested in seeing it after what I've heard

I liked it as well. Its a simple straight up slasher film. No unnecessary detailed background story. I was thinking that the only survivor from the original massacre

Spoiler:
wasnt the bro/sister's mother
since I believe they were from that town or at least it was implied by the cop recognizing the bro. Unless I missed something. Overall it was pretty good.

Here in England it's the opposite, crap reviews everywhere I look, offline anyway.

He's been there looking for his sister that's why they knew each other. That wasn't his first visit to the town searching. At least that's what it seemed to me.

Hey guys, just saw it today and I must say it was pretty good. I thought it was a good reboot of the franchise and took Jason Voorheers back to the bear basics and mythology of those first 3 movies. He had become nearly a joke in those later sequels and I have never been a fan of the zombie Jason. This movie did well in making Jason scary again and this interpretation of him in this film is one of my favourites along with how he was portrayed in Parts 3 and 4. He was was a hunter in this and a near perfect marksmen and I thought the underground tunnels were a nice touch. Overall it was a pretty good movie in my eyes and brought Jason back in a good way, my score 7/10.

that is what I believe as well

I liked the first group of people better...

I liked it; a good, straight up slasher.

I am a BIG fan of my hommies Jay, and I must say that it's one of his best movies from the series.

Cunning, fast, deadly. He kills in a good rythm, when he start, you don't have the time to bore.

7/10, pretty good slasher movie.

Yeah same, I saw it yesterday and thought it was awesome. Good kills, GREAT kills!

Can't wait for the sequel

Derek Mears rocked as Jason

I agree, I was thinking the same thing.

Movie didn't really do anything for me. About what you'd expect from a remake these days.

Didn't like the changes they made to Jason. He moved too quickly and ran around too much. Was too smart as well, setting traps and shit. Didn't even seem like Jason.

Nice nudity, though.

And thats a bad thing why ?

I didn't think the remake was as great as everyone says it is on here, wasn't bad and it was quite good for a remake, to me though the best remake is still the hills have eyes, I loved that film and I dunno if any other remake of a horror is going to top it for me. I'd give the F13 remake a 5 out of 10.

Because that's not how Jason is.

So Jason for many more boring years is supposed to be a murdering caveman that is slow and doesnt think?

How boring would that be again and again?

Because he's supposed to be a big freaking zombie, basically. It was fun when he never ran but was still able to catch up to people running away, part of the cheese/camp factor that made the Friday the 13th movies enjoyable.

In this new one they just made him a generic big guy who killed people, nothing special or unique about him.
