Sorry dude, just wasnt for me.

Didnt like how it wanted to go in a whole new direction...#3 did the same thing, but still aknoledged the continuity of the series and actually really improved upon the first two. This one just fell flat IMO, and completly ruined the Tommy Jarvis character, not to mention it totally ignored #5.

Another thing: Going over-the-top can be a good thing in this kind of movie if it's handled well (Take TCM2 for example), but McLoughlin just couldnt pull it off.

You're right though, I probably should give it another chance a year or two down the road...didnt like Part II the first time that I watched it, but now it's one of my favourites...you never know.

The Shimizu-Gellar one. Dont think Raimi had much to do with that movie cept lend his name to the producers list.

He owns (co-owns?) the company that produced it, Ghost House. Thats the extent of his involvement.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood


Well at least it was better than Part VI...still not on par with any of the first 5 though. Hodder is a badass Jason, but otherwise there's really nothing special here.

Next up: What else? Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, of course:p

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan


The best since Part III as far as I'm concerned. Cheesy in places, but doesnt let it get out of hand like in Part VI. Really, really enjoyed this.

--------

Alas Jason, our journey together must be forced into reprieve. Shame your other two movies couldnt be packaged with the boxset...oh well, it was a pretty fun ride, and I'll see you again as soon as some Ebay auctions close:)

Having watched all of the first 8 films in the past 2 weeks (Most in the past few days), here is my ranking of the series so far (Spaces representing how close they came to being as good as the one above)):


Part III

Part II
Friday the 13th

The Final Chapter
Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
A New Beginning


Part VII: The New Blood


Part VI: Jason Lives
