"FREDDY vs. JASON" [2003 - New Line Cinema]
by 'El Diablo'

Okay,... just got back from the screening. Final thoughts? It was good, I really enjoyed it. There was enough of both characters to keep the fans (like myself) happy and the audience was eating it up! Lots of cheers for this movie... everyone was chanting Freddy's name right before the lights went down (sorry, there was very little cheer for Jason... at least from where I was sitting). Lots of fun, definitely the kind of movie I've waited to see for a long time. Oh, big surprise... Kelly Rowland is NOT the new Busta Rhymes (though she did use the F-word a little too often), the girl was my biggest fear and she pulled it off pretty well. All of the actors did pretty well in the movie. I did have a few minor problems but nothing that would keep me from seeing the film again on the big screen. I promised I wouldn't spoil anything and I plan to stick to that out of respect for the fans and the people who run this site. There are some moments of pure genius that you guys have to see with fresh eyes (if anyone else saw the film tonight... please try to control the spoilers). I will say something that is probably going to piss a few people off... how do it put this lightly? Well,... if Kane Hodder was to hang up his hockey mask and retire, I would be more than happy to see Ken return as Jason. The man is an absolute BEAST in this movie, I mean he is one brutal motherfucker!! Some last bits of interest: Visually this movie resembles a cross between JASON LIVES and NEW NIGHTMARE, it just has that look and feel to it. Temp music was some stuff from Mark Isham's BLADE score. Movie ran about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Got to meet Bob Shaye and Sean Cunningham after the movie.
