Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

lukem-52760 Some fun but not a great film in any of the franchises!!! Some cool stuff & lots of gore but also WAY too silly but IT'S OK !!! Could've been alot BETTER!!!The worst of the friday the 13th franchise.

lewisajhughes With the later entries into the 'Friday the 13th' and 'Nightmare on Elm Street' franchises proving hit and miss, it would have been easy for "Freddy vs Jason" to have flopped massively not just at the box office but also critically and narratively, however, this movie does quite the opposite and instead provides a satisfying end to Robert Englund's reign as Freddy Krueger and pays respectful homages to the franchises from which it is birthed.The primary focal point of attention for the majority of mainstream reviewers regarding horror movies, especially 'slasher' movies, is that they lack a real narrative or reason and rely on kill after kill to string the story together and, while this is true for many of its predescors in the Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises, the plot of this movie feels clear and cohesive with a distinct narrative that perfectly brings together the worlds of both Freddy and Jason by utilising iconographic locations and imagery we had seen previously. The contrast between Freddy's deviousity and Jason's brute strength is something horror fans have wanted to see since Freddy's debut on screen in 1984's "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and the interest in the two horror icons meeting peaking during the cliffhanger ending of "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday" in which Jason's iconic mask is pulled into hell by Freddy's equally epochal glove; this film does not fail to meet these colossal expectations and delivers everything any horror fan would ever want to see in a clash of these titans.Characterisation in terms of the titular antagonists remains consistent to their over two-decade-long history in cinema: Jason is an unstoppable force of evil unparalleled in the fright he causes by remaining so silent and moving so montorously - this film continues the tradition of having Jason kill teens in outrageous and gruesome ways, of course - while Freddy is a one-liner-spewing immense terror-creating monster who will remain a pop culture icon even after these movies are long forgotten. Positively, the characterisation of the convention and rudimental teens in "Freddy vs Jason" is actually one of the best in the genre with primary protagonist Lori (Monica Keena) and her friend Kia (Kelly Rowland) being particularly memorable.Ultimately, "Freddy vs Jason" is an amazing watch for any long-term fan of either franchise or Horror fans as a whole and can be enjoyed just as any other slasher while also supplying a freshness to the industry by introducing the idea of horror legend crossover movies which will, hopefully, lead to further movies in the same vein being produced. With great characters and a fufilling answer to the time old question of "Who would win in a fight, Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees?" this film is definitely worth an 8/10 rating and your watch.

Ilikehorrormovies My mom thought it was stupid like I thought Jason X (2001) is stupid because the whole Jason in space idea but this film is fun. Not the best but enjoyable. I know it's better than Alien vs Predator because this one is enjoyable. It's better than Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice (2016) to be honest. Freddy almost win but he's been put out in the dream world and Jason win. Okay now that's out of the way now I want to say the story is spot on, the writting is alright, and the characters are not anoyying which is a good thing. So yeah this is my review of Freddy vs Jason (2003), it's worth a watch

ciaranmcloughlin-34838 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.
