dear lord for a 90 minute movie that felt like Gunga Din. ooooh Jason has met his match, a young kid into horror and masks, defeated by....him shaving his head to remind him of himself and hitting him hard with a machete? ooook.
I'm gonna watch VI just for shits and giggles, skipping V.
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 22 October 2016 16:23 (seven years ago) link
(Gunga Din in length, that is)
when i went through these a few years ago i came away thinking 1 and 4 are the best. 1 has this really specific atmosphere to it that they basically never try for again. a lot of it's the rain

i legit love 4 bc idk cory feldman's narrative in that movie is for some reason super compelling to me and also there's batshit crispin glover

3!
Cheesy 80s 3D shots.
Cheesy 80s bikers.
Mask appears.
The goofy self-aware stuff hadn't creeped in yet. It still feels like a lean, mean-spirited exploitation film.

Yeah, one of my all-time favorite lines!
1=low-budget boilerplate2=boring, half-flashback3=inept mess. Lots of action in a tool-filled barn?4=my fave, good Savini FX, sort of scary-ish (for the series) at times? 5=pointless, no Jason, sort of the Psycho II of the series. 6=funny, self-aware. I read the novelization (!) when I was little. Chops off the heads of three paintballers at once? 7=can't remember. Telekinetic girl? Does this one have the sleeping bag kill? 8=NYC? A complete POS. Shot in Vancouver? 9=Goes to hell? Only one I saw in theaters. Some dude eats a heart and turns into Jason? It does have a clever opening scene. 10=space. Never saw it.11=vs. Freddy? Is this the one directed by a Hong Kong guy? Want to say I saw it but barely remember it. Battle in a corn field?Reboot: really cool opening conceit, don't remember the rest. (Want to say My Bloody Valentine reboot had a similar opening conceit?)

I was half watching these things last week with the sibs while drinking beer and after spending the day at Disney World. Pretty much the optimal way to see them, imo. The depictions of city life in Manhattan are spectacularly hilarious (the heroine is kidnapped and shot up with heroin within minutes of the protagonists making landfall).

this series is way more dependable than Nightmare, btw
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, October 24, 2010 3:53 PM (six years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
That's just empirically false. Nightmare has three great films in the series (the first, third, and New Nightmare), part 4 is somewhat entertaining (and directed by Renny Harlin and written by Academy award winner Brian Helgeland), and part 2 is brilliantly campy. Parts five and six are the only out and out stinkers.

whiney from 6 years ago is right, there's an evenness to this series that nightmare does not manage, and characterizing nightmare 2 as "brilliantly campy" is giving a shitty movie with some gay parts wayyy too much credit
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 18 January 2017 01:07 (seven years ago) link
I agree Friday 6 is best, 4 second best, rest are degrees of shit, save the like three fake out meta intros of the reboot. Which then turns to shit.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 01:19 (seven years ago) link
basically for me it's
Friday 1 - fun if not generic, off-brand feeling (the ending is hilarious)Friday 2 - never has watching kids get hacked up been so fuckin boringFriday 3 - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzFriday 4 - zzzzzzzzzz O FUCK FELDMAN IS CRAZY AT THE END also lol Crispin GloverFriday 6 - fun and enjoyable, w/ funays, but not amazing or anythingJason goes to hell - everybody who made this should be killed
all others - haven't and won't see em

NOES is the better series, it's true, but I had a wicked good time watching a marathon of that Friday trash with my sibs last Halloween. It's working its charms on me.
― Gorvernment Stoodge (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 18 January 2017 04:57 (seven years ago) link
And NOES 4 is better than NOES 3. I wish the world would just wise up and get behind me on that one already.

N1 is properly original and scary.N2 is batshit and kind of grim (maybe the equivalent of Friday V?)N3 and N4 are Hollywood slick and entertaining and actually exhibit some continuity in terms of character/story (iirc). Plus ... Dokken song? Don't remember much about the rest, really.
Like F4, it's a peak of competency, with excellent Savini FX, and quirky actors/scenes. Same for F6, plus humor (tho minus Savini FX) and a solid attempt at closure. Plus ... Alice Cooper song? The worst Friday movies, basically the rest, are borderline inept, but particularly 3(D), Goes to Hell and NYC. Goes to Hell has a sort of funny meta-intro too, iirc, though not as ambitious as the reboot.

don't particularly understand the ambitious qualities of the reboot's intro. they just dispatch an entire group of teens in the first 20 minutes

I only saw the reboot once, whenever it was, but iirc it starts out with a pretty standard campfire scene, followed by a Jason massacre. Then it turns out *that* is a campfire story being told by a contemporary batch of counselors ... who are then slaughtered themselves. Then it turns out *that* is something of a flashback, and it jumps to the current story, at which point we get opening credits, like, 15 minutes into the movie. They do something similarly clever with the "My Bloody Valentine" reboot, iirc.

that is NOT what happens
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 18 January 2017 14:25 (seven years ago) link
it starts off in black and white telling the abbreviated story of part one, then shifts to the teens who are looking for giant weed plants in crystal lake, who get slaughtered, then it shifts to jared padalecki and the other group of teens

That's the one that starts with the flashback, right? That's the one where we find out how the Care Bears became the Care Bears?

No, that's the third one. The second one is where the Care Bears blow up the Death Star.

binge watching these now, up to VI Jason Lives.
So far I'd say 4 was the best due to more interesting characters.
V is an utter joke.
I am liking this new and improved super Jase in VI so far.
