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
Description: It's the battle everyone's been DYING to see! Teenagers find themselves caught in the middle of a battle between two legendary boogeymen: Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. Who will win in the bloodiest and goriest showdown in history?

Better than I was expecting. Both franchises are dead and buried. Freddy after part 3. Jason after part 2. Hollyweird just HAS to continue to milk the two franchises for all their worth. I saw this in the theater and yes there are a few jump out of your chair scenes. The gore is by the bucket load. It's a guilty pleasure, I just hope they don't bring Michael Myers into the next one. Leave Halloween alone. It's worth a rental if your bored and it's a stormy night. And it's SOOOO cool to see the original Ms. Vorhees in this. Just don't expect anything classic.
It's Worth It. Okay, it's not cinema gold or anything but as a late night movie, 'Freddy Vs. Jason' is super-sweet fun! We'd all been waiting for it, now here it is. I saw this in the theatre and didn't really know what to expect and to be completely honest I was a little disappointed at first. A couple of scenes bothered me but really had nothing to do with the concept of the film and the ending was smart and very cool. Years later I started thinking about this movie again and just had to get my hands on it. Since it's been a few years since it's release the price was good and when it arrived I watched it right away. The writers really did do a great job incorporating both worlds and resurrections. I'm sure there's some plot holes but 'cmon, if we were all that serious about stuff like that we'd never enjoy serial flicks like this...especially like this. The second go around was a great experience. I found myself watching it again a week later just 'cause..you know. And to me if a film can stand up to repeated viewing then it's made it's mark as a good movie. The scenes that bothered me when I first saw it in the theatre didn't bother me as much but the sweet impact of the scene in the cornfield lost a little of it's luster for some reason. Anyway, if you're a fan of these series or just enjoy a unique midnight movie then you really can't go wrong with 'Freddy Vs. Jason'. I had no complaints with the DVD treatment, if anything I think the studio went a little above and beyond considering the nature of the film but it's cool. I can definitely say I'm proud to own 'Freddy Vs. Jason'.
FREDDY VS. JASON.....PLACE YOUR BETS!!! If you love A Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th, or both, you'll definitely love Freddy Vs. Jason! I love the awesome fighting sequences between them. I love all the blood and gore when they slash at each other! I remember seeing this with a friend when it first came out. There were some parts we laughed at, some we thought were cool. If you love slashers fighting, you'll love FREDDY VS. JASON!!!
and this is like when worlds colide this movie was great not scary but great. Ive seen all the nightmare on elm street movies and all the friday the 13 movies and the jason movies sucked but the nightmare on elm street movies were great then i saw this movie when it first came out and it was great and funny an intertaining movie. My mom said it was corney and it was'nt that bad this movie was'nt corney well it was a little but it was still great.The part that was funny was when freedy turned into that slug and then smoked pot and blew in that other guys face that was funny this was a great movie i hope part2 comes out cause the way freedy blinked his eye at the end meant that it was'nt over i hope it comes out with another great battle but great movie.
Definitely good horror action movie... This movie was excellent made. It's definitely good horror movie. the computer effect was perfect. This movie was not terrible. I really enjoyed this movie. Every scene was scare moment and the story was not strange at all. It's still good.
