Freddy vs Jason

Everyone I talked to said it was the shit, well I thought it was too, I just doubt our definitions were the same ;)

The premise for the movie was good, special effects were good too, but all in all I thought the movie sucked, even worse that I actually bought it.

exactly, though I have to admit I did find Resident Evil more entertaining, and have no problem watching it again when I catch it on. But FvJ aside from the classic one liners, and the boiler fight scene, pretty much blew, I literally finished watching it thinking to myself, what the hell did I buy that for. AND who can I pawn it off on for a trade lol

The Ring

There were no real action or horrifically scary moments, in my opinion. It's hype made me see it, but when the movie ended, I couldn't help feeling like I was just power torqued from behind by the media and mainstream.

The Scream films. I kept hearing how great these movies were, and how they were the "salvation" of the horror genre.

What a bunch of crap (on both counts.)

I got one that probably a lot of people will disagree with, Dawn of the Dead. I'm sorry but this movie just didn't do it for me, I was so happy that I found it in the video store but 2 hours later I found myself quite disapointed. I can put up with movie that are slow at some points but my god this one just dragged on and on. I enjoyed Night and Day but this one was just not good. Also I thought there was just too much humor, I like the dark feeling I had watching the other two but Dawn just seemed like a happy go lucky movie where the characters were just having some fun running around the mall.

the ring and resident evil i can agree with.
Freddy vs jason on the other hand hell that movie was great i mean todays movies are all remakes or rip offs. Freddy vs jason on the other hand nothing like thats been done in ove 40 years and it wasnt done to this callibar.

other over rated films
wrong turn
hannibal
jeepers creepers
