CAMPY VS. HORROR |
Have you ever gone to see a movie thinking it was going to be absolute shit, but after seeing it, it has completely won you over and you walk out of the theatre feeling like a better person for having viewed it? Well, I suppose it comes as no surprise that Freddy Vs. Jason is not that kind of movie.
Yes, I had to answer the screams of my inner child and humor him by going to see this. I grew up with the movies, and while I never really liked them, they were still part of my life as I grew up so I felt a certain pull to want to see it, which took the place of and actual want to see it.
That being said, the majority of this movie was a turd. First off, you need to understand something that took me a good bit of the movie to digest (and I was pretty upset when I did). This is not Freddy Vs. Jason, this is a Nightmare on Elm St. movie with Jason in it. The first Elm St. movie was pretty damned good, but by the time you see the seventh group of teenagers trying to stay awake and watching all their friends get killed, it gets pretty friggin' old; and unfortunately, that was the formula for the majority of this movie too.
Now that I've gotten all to stinky out, the actual Freddy Vs. Jason shit in this movie was pretty fucking baddass. I dug the shit out of the fight scenes, with my only complaint being that they were few and far between. I thought the ending was a pretty good closer for both, until of course the "ending-ending" that Elm St. and Jason movies horribly must always have. Then again, with Jason X taking place in like 3400 AD, he can't really die for good in this one.
In closing, if you're at all interested in the movie, go see it for the versus action, but don't expect an opus of any kind.
