Amazon.com: After 11 years in development hell and screenplay drafts by 13 different writers, the long-awaited smackdown of Freddy vs. Jason finally arrives. After making their respective debuts in Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger, replacing long-time Jason performer Kane Hodder) and razor-gloved Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) square off in a slasher-franchise combo-deal that only their most devoted fans will appreciate; turns out this is a lightweight match in which nobody wins. It's an average entry in the histories of these horror icons, comparable to half of their previous sequels, and Bride of Chucky director Ronny Yu satisfies purists with plenty of gushing blood and mayhem when Freddy recruits Jason to slice 'n' dice the ill-fated teens who've forgotten Freddy's once-formidable reign of terror. While it logically connects the gruesome legacies of Nightmare's Elm Street and Friday's Camp Crystal Lake, this horror hybrid is shockingly uninspired. It briefly peaks when Freddy gives the unconscious Jason a dream-world pummeling, but their ultimate showdown's a draw. In the immortal words of Peggy Lee, is that all there is? --Jeff Shannon
Pretty ballah movie ^ This movie is so ballah that it redefines what it means to truely be ballah. The heights of ballah that it extends to are certainly unmatched by all others around it. Ballah
On Blu-Ray : good buy ^ Review on Blu-ray: a good buy, beautiful pics and crystal clear images. On movie itself: i am a die-hard fan of Freddy and Jason, this movie is simply fun, fun and fun. I love it.
Gift ^ I got this as a gift for someone else, so all I can say is that it came within the specified time.
Best in the series! ^ I've been a fan of both Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street since the days when each chapter was released in theatres. I know some folks are very defensive of the campy original Friday films but this is a excellent update that doesn't feel cheap. The premise is good. Freddy's power comes from people's fear of him. Since that fear has waned in recent years, he resurrects Jason to stir up fear. When Jason starts killing Freddy's intended victims it becomes a no-holds-barred battle of the bad guys. Very well done, enjoyable film for fans of these films.
Movie ^ This movie is not as good as the others of Freddy and Jason but I wanted the whole collection
