I love it. it's my favorite of the series- it's got everything that makes an F13 movie great!

The only 3D flick I saw was the end of Freddy's Dead. I've got the magazine that came out round that time that has some 3D pics that are pretty funny to look at if you're in the right mindset....

just watched 1-4 seems like they had intended more and more sequels from the start

My Friday the 13th part 3 3D DVD review
 

Here is my review of the last of the new Friday the 13th releases due out on February 3rd. This one even includes a little video starring Me!! Nothing spectacular...just didn't have a whole lot to include in this review ;)

I'm going to make a bold statement and say that the remake was the best. All the Friday films suck, but like previously stated, it's fun to watch for the gore candy and kills. The remake was just more... enjoyable. I might change my mind since i'm still on the high from seeing it in a dark theater, but that's my thought right now. I just popped in Part 2 for the first time as well, so maybe my opinion will change :)

I grew up watching and loving F13 movies. I really don't see the point of remaking a movie franchise after what 11 movies(including freddy v jason)? But whatever I'm sure they're going to remake all of my favorite franchises regardless. Parts of the remake were pretty sweet, I'd have to admit. It was awesome to see him back on the big screen. I didn't find it scary at all...The old ones STILL scare me. I hated how they recapped the first film during the credits. I hated how he lived in underground tunnels and how held someone captive? That's just not in his nature. Idk. Of course being a true fan of the franchise I'm not going to necessarily appreciate a remake.

The whole living in a mine thing and taking hostages thing was hard for me to swallow too. Looking back at how the original series progressed however, I'm glad they decided to bring Jason into a more 'human' role. It sure beats watching him slither up some bitches cooter in the shape of a 'bodysnatching' worm. Or any of the other far fetched story lines brougth about by the franchise. I really liked this version, even the recap during the opening credits. I thought the opening scene help to show it was the same Jason Voorhees, but a whole new retelling of how it all went down.

The new F13 still feels more like a sequel to me than the other remakes I've watched.

The series as a whole generally get's rated lower than the Halloween and Nightmare series' by most people. Personally, I thought alot of the Friday movies were actually enjoyable to watch. (Even the one's most people couldn't stand). I'll agree with you on Jason takes Manhattan. It's very fun and enjoyable to watch and although it is not ranked very highly as a movie, I finished the movie in one sitting and it actually had me hooked a few times.

The only Friday movie I really didn't care for was Jason X. The rest I liked. If I had to make a top 5:

1) Friday the 13th: Part 3
2) Jason goes to Hell
3) Friday the 13th Original
4) Friday the 13th Part 2
5) Friday the 13th The Final Chapter
