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. |
