I have always thought they should pit recent horror movie monsters against each other. Reminds me of the old movies. I am going today to see it. I fear that it will suck like most Hollywood movies. I like small independent movies best.

I was planning on picking up Rob Zombies movie this weekend. Should I?

one and no liners make a movie great, watch the evil dead series and tell me the one liners aren\'t fawking great.

Nothing wrong with that the first time.. but after that, it gets boring. .Tell me after nightmare 3 it was good. Only thing that had anything good about freddys dead was it had somewhat more background into freddys past etc.. I personally didn\'t like new nightmare. Found it repetitive like the others.

PS, evil dead 2 and 3 owned 1.

Lol... a part of the review @ CHUD (no spoilers)

I couldn\'t hate this movie more and will NEVER see it again. Like Jason Goes to Hell, it shows that the filmmakers know nothing about either franchise, could care less if their monsters are worth a damn and just desperately want to make a buck. It\'s sad that that\'s what they\'ve gone and done when this opportunity could\'ve been used to revitalize the entire franchise. But, these people wanted to make a buck and - like the makers of Men In Black II - knew they could get an opening weekend no matter WHAT the movie was they made as long as the title was Freddy Vs. Jason and they spent a couple of bucks on a TV ad buy. [/b]

Ouch.

I\'m pulling for Jason. I like em both but Jason always got down to business. Like that time he stuffed that girl in her sleeping bag and beat her against a tree. lol I love that scene. I think it might be part 7.

That review at Chud was way off.

First off , the movie was no masterpiece, but the film-makers had Jason at his finest. This film nailed Jason to a tee, added backstory and made me want a new Friday 13th film.

As for Freddy - it was more of a Nightmare on Elm Street 3 style Freddy. Wise cracking and annoying...

I enjoyed it, especially Jason\'s dream sequences but I didn\'t like the final showdown...

THis is the reason why mm always whines about today\'s hollywood.

Why should they come out with a couple masterpieces a year when they can flood the market with pieces of mindless crap and still make tons of money from opening weekend.

In a perfect world they would reduce ticket costs and in order for a movie to make money it would have to do well for a freaking month.

The way it is now you get a good opening weekend in the US and Europe and the movie is practically paid for.

it\'s not like they force you to buy a thicket. imo, it\'s the people fault rather then the industry. if people wouldnt go see those suck movie, the industry would adjust.

The movie wasnt that bad, Jason was shown very well in the movie. The plot was a crappy in my opinion but oh well.

True Nolaws.

And that is one reason why my home theater is worth its weight in gold.

I forget how awesome it is to watch a movie at home until I go to a theater and there are babies crying, people talking, kicking the back of my seat, etc.

Then paying 15 bucks for the movie and 10 bucks for a coke and popcorn and I am down 25 bucks. Blow me.

I can buy the freaking movie for less than 8 bucks and heck, if I don\'t like it I can trade it in for 3-5 bucks and it\'s barely a rental.

I would never chuck any cash at people who make dopey flicks like this.

That said, Legally Blonde II was awesome... j/k

The moviegoing experience CAN be great, or it can suck. It doesn\'t always suck; you just have to use caution about what theaters you select and which showings. For example, I am very hesitant to see any film rated lower than PG13 anymore because I can\'t stand all the kidlets running around asking mommy questions, screaming, etc.

Remember that at it\'s best, 35mm projection is still much much better than 480p, and audio reproduction is usually much better than my home theater setup. Oh for the days when some films were still released in 70mm. Do any of you remember that at all? The studios used to release genuine wide market productions on 70mm, instead of just the wildlife films and space films you see now in IMAX theaters.

The corporations have torn down or redeveloped almost all the traditional theaters that had the capability of projecting 70mm, so it\'s almost entirely a thing of the past.

Well 35mm is better than 480p when the film is taken care of. Some theaters are horrible about keeping the film clean and by the second week of the run it has hair and dirt specs all over it.

I remember going and seeing Star Wars Ep 1 in the theater and it was horrible. The dirt was extremely distracting.
