Freddy vs. Jason

[spookychild]

I'm doing hands on research for a paper and I would love some help. Is Freddy vs. Jason more of a NOES flick or more of a FTT flick?

[Vodstok]

in theory, it is equal parts both, but since freddy is the main instigator, i would say NOES.


However, i didnt like it.

[spookychild]

Thank you for adding in your opinon. I see how many people didn't enjoy it and I would also like to know if you liked or disliked it. Can't wait for more responses.

[Vodstok]

you will no doubt get many.

to be fair about my response, i am not a big freddy or jason fan anyway. i think they are both overrated, but tend to stay out of discussions about them because people love 'em.

[spookychild]

I respect your response. It is very mature of you to take the stand that you do. And believe me I don't take this pesonaly.

[spookychild]

sorry I mean I don't take it personaly. I should invest in spell check.

Well to start off I would say this movie is definatly more in Freddy's Realm then Jason's. It just has more of a NOES feel to it.

I grew up loving Freddy and Jason Movies, so I felt like I have been waiting for this movie all my life!

IM not gonna say I didn't like the movie because I did find it entertaining, and I still watch my DVD all the time, but I was dissapointed because I felt like it wasnt made for the fans, but they tried to go the safe route where even people who didnt follow the other movies would atleast be entertained by some funny one liners and some gory deaths.

I just had a completely different story in my head, and I expected them to blow my mind with the direction they would take with the 2 hugest Slasher Icons ever.

[spookychild]

I completly agree, but I do want to know other opinons on the film.

Wasn't my favorite I enjoyed it, even though they had the cop-out ending so they could have a sequel. It's more of a NOES movie for sure but I really think they could have done more with it.

the dream sequences, freddy in control, etc. definitely more noes.

[The_Return]

I liked it. It's not fantastic by any means, but it was a fun way to kill an hour and a half.

Oh, and it's definatly more NOES

[azathoth777]

I would saw more a NOES film.
I liked both the first NOES and F13, but they got progressively silly with each sequal. F vs J is the most ridiculous of them all.

[crazy raplh]

i enjoyed alot as well I thought that it was great and it was more of a NOES film just how wimpy Jason looked. and he shouls have destroyed

70% Nightmare
30% Friday


And I loved it

[Korpse]

I did love it when it was released, but I recently rewatched it and actually turned it off mid way through...

Dire to say the least.

and it's very much a NOES film, I'd echo the 70/30 split.

[AUSTIN316426808]

Definately more Nightmare.

[crazy raplh]

this should be a poll.

[Posher778]

why... it's unanimous.....

[The Mothman]

it doesnt really matter. point is jason kicked freddy's friggin ass.

[crazy raplh]

not really maybe a few shots but freedy got the upperhand, though I do not agree with it, it is how they made it.

I have to agree.

I personally enjoyed the film. But I'm more of a Freddy fan if I had to choose one.

My favorite Villain is Freddy, but my favorite movie is Halloween....Freaky.

[crazy raplh]

^^ I see your a rob zombie fan, that is cool

[spookychild]

I completly agree that this movie is by no means the pinicle of horror movies and I aprechiate the continual input.

[The_Return]

The way that I took it, Freddy won anyway.

Taken from a short review I wrote on the film:

"...but I liked the outcome more than most. I was cheering for Freddy. Sure, Freddy technically loses, but I think that's a testament to him being the better villain: Think about it, the villain always loses in slasher movies. In that respect, I say Freddy won and rightfully deserved to."

Whatever happened to Ronny Yu? He looked like he had some promise as a horror director.

[Doc Faustus]

I would take the stand that it was neither, and that's why it alienated the fans. The Nightmare feel is all but gone, with dreams that are a far cry from most Freddy dreams. Freddy's nigh Vaudevillian antics are replaced by straightforward slap-you-in the face Jungian psychology, which is not most people's cup of tea. The lack of gore and the slightly more fleshed out teen characters made it nothing like a Friday entry. There were homages at best with no true Friday or Nightmare content. I think liking Freddy vs. Jason is more about liking Freddy vs. Jason than liking Friday or Nightmare. I enjoyed the meditation on the content and the icons, but it's outside either category. Bold and antagonistic when you're dealing with diehard fanbases like that. The sort of things I expect to hear about the Rob Zombie Halloween are easily said about F vs. J. That said, Ronnie Yu is a cool guy that I think gave mouth to mouth to franchises that were gasping for ideas. Sorta like what he did in Bride of Chucky.
