I don't think I can go so far as to call _Freddy vs. Jason_ good. But I can still be honest about the fact that I love it. Considering it mad-grabs the humour from both its delivering franchises late-stage entries, with the bizarre, ethereal yet quippy flavour of _Elm Street_, and the body count of a _Friday the 13th_, how could I not? Crappy acting, unbelievable SFX, hack script, completely disrespectful to the canon of both parents, yet eminently re-watchable for any occasion. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
***Worthy new millennium entry in the Friday & Nightmare franchises, until they clash, that is*** To be expected, 2003's "Freddy vs. Jason" mixes together elements of the "Nightmare" and "Friday" franchises. Both franchises had essentially ran out of gas in the early 90s -- the last conventional "Friday" movie, before 2001's "Jason X," came out a decade earlier and the last "Nightmare" movie almost as long. So mixing up the formats was a great way to introduce these modern monsters to a new generation as well as re-introduce them to the old. THE PLOT: Freddy Krueger, the wicked spirit of a child molester/serial killer, is trapped in hell and unable to wreak havoc on the youths of Springwood, Ohio, because they have forgotten him and therefore no longer believe. Krueger's diabolical plan is to lure Jason from Crystal Lake, NJ, to Springwood and inspire him to go on a killing spree, …
I was so excited to hear this movie coming out. It didn't disappoint. My two greatest horror killers of all time battling each other. Love this movie.
For what this is it is quite grand. It is a worthy and lovely send-off for Robert's enduring efforts with Freddy, and while it is campy and silly at times, this is still a good movie, especially considering when it was made. It is bright and everything is visible, not dull and dark, which helps. The characters are quippy and engaging, which means that the tension is real, which is great. The effects are solid for its era, and the casting is great, well, apart from Kelly, who is really not doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Robert, on the other hand, seems to be having fun. This was a good movie to watch. I am happy it is something that got made.
