I guess I can say that most fans think this Friday the 13th "reboot" or "sequel" or whatever you want to call it, didn't like this installment. There are many factors I can put into why people wouldn't like this movie, and also parts they COULD'VE worked on more. There was a lot of sex/nudity to the point where it kind of go ridiculous. The writers and producers seemed to be real horn dogs for showing off tits and large breasts, while it kind of gave me a vibe that that's all they cared about mostly. Another thing is, they rushed Jason's storyline WAY too much. Only about 2 minutes are known in this film about his childhood, even his mother getting killed off right at the beginning. Then, there's the character development, which is a BIG BIG BIG role to get the audience to like/hate some characters. This movie lacked a lot in character development. I had a hard time keeping up with names because I never got to know the characters enough. Another thing is that they sort of spent on a lot is the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" feel. It seemed like a TCM film with Jason's underground lair, and keeping people captive, which lead the film to give off a different vibe. However, I am really not a critic in movies, I, however tend to like them or hate them. Friday the 13th (2009) I liked, it was a good movie. I would love to see less nudity, more character development, and less of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre feel. Also, I think this film gets a lot of bad reviews, but I understand why it would. Many fans probably expected it to be more like the originals, but it was far from it, and that's what makes a lot of die-hard fans mad. But, it's a writers viewpoint, not yours, so you have to accept that. All in all it was a good movie and don't forget to buy the DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, June 16, 2009!
