I may not be very big fan of Friday the 13th or A Nightmare on Elm Street, but as a fan of classic horror films, how could I resist seeing two of horror's most iconic villains battle it out?
There are a few very evident things that I think would turn most people off, that being the massive amount of 'saw it coming' moments, and the ridiculous setup for the plot. But honestly, anyone who would want to watch a movie called "Freddy Vs. Jason" would care too much about stuff like that.
Despite all the cliches and obligatory romance sub-plot, the production quality, lighting, and special effects are all great. Even today, I love the way a lot of the gore and stunts look despite their age.
The biggest problem I have with Freddy Vs. Jason is how short-lived some of the action between the two is. The actual fight scenes between Freddy and Jason are fantastic, and would be an absolute blast for fans of the characters. I just wish there was more of that and less of the generic teenager characters.
Really I feel like someone could honestly just tell by the title if they will enjoy the movie or not.

This film is the eleventh sequel to "Friday the 13th," a franchise that has long been held only thanks to the stubbornness of the studios, producers and directors, as well as the good amount of money it usually collects at the box office.Directed by Ronny Yu, the film has a script from Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. I am sure that these gentlemen will have little to be proud of, since this script is no more than a shame. The main idea is basically a crossing between "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street," that is, face-to-face, in tight rivalry, Jason and Freddy Krueger. This is what happens when you don't know what to create in order to give life to a franchise that should have finished long ago.In the background, it was the swan song for this franchise, and also for the "Nightmare on Elm Street", which is not bad.

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than Alien vs Predator, regardless of what you think of it. It really does both of the characters justice. It is a lot of fun. If you came for the title, it is more than happy to deliver. If you love A Nightmare on Elm Street & Friday the 13th and want a crossover, This is just about as good as you're probably gonna get.Freddy is dead, and is trying to reclaim his existence from fear of the teenagers of Elm Street. However, people are trying to avoid remembering Freddy in case he comes back. They clear all records of Freddy to avoid spreading information about him. They quarantine the teenagers who have heard of Freddy to avoid spreading the fear. They prohibit even mentioning his name. Freddy then decides to resurrect Jason in a dream sequence, telling him his work is not yet finished. Jason comes back to life and starts murdering teenagers in Elm Street for him in order to bring back the fear of Freddy Krueger. Unfortunately for Freddy, Jason takes his victims out of Freddy's reach. Freddy begins to regret his plan and proceeds to take Jason on mono e mono. Lori (one of the teenagers) has a personal vendetta against Freddy as he is responsible for her mother's death and interferes with the fight.What I like about the film is the fight scenes are well done, the camera doesn't shake around too much. I like how in the dream sequences Freddy gets the upper hand and in reality Jason becomes more dominant. It brings a sense of levity between the two. There is genuine fright value and it's a good choice for Halloween. It gives you bang for your buck.While there are enjoyable aspects of this movie, it wasn't perfect. The acting is weak and the characters are a bit one dimensional. The nudity was gratuitous. The subplot of Lori seeking revenge against Freddy was kind of silly. The story is very basic and not very deep. If you are looking for a lot of substance, or something with a philosophical message, or artistic merits, this movie is not for you.Overall, Freddy vs Jason is far from a masterpiece, but it's a fun film if you enjoy horror and action. It's definitely not for everyone.

My third and final feature on this Friday The 13th (May 2016) night was this epic chapter, the battle between two of the most humongous and iconic slashers in film history, with the Greatest fight ever, and every single horror fan's dream come true : Freddy vs. Jason. Or, as I like to call it, A Nightmare On Friday The 13th. Starring the King Of Horror, Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, and another Horror Star, Ken Kirzinger, as Jason Voorhees. Also featuring Monica Keena, Katharine Isabelle, Brendan Fletcher, Jason Ritter, Kelly Rowland, Lochlyn Munro, Garry Chalk, and more. So many huge names in this movie. An awesome chapter to watch On Friday The 13th. I will never ever get bored watching it over and over again. I'm dying to see a sequel, but the sad part is, Robert Englund has said that he will not be returning as Freddy. But I doubt that, and still have faith that he will reprise his role. I also really hope Kane Hodder will return as Jason. Robert and Kane face to face, now that's even more epic. I'm not the only one who is waiting for this, I know every horror fan out there feels the same way. It's not over yet between these two titans, it's just the beginning.
