While this movie gets a lot of negative reviews from most people I found it enjoyabel It could have been much better wich you realize as you listen to director commentaries and extra features talking about things they couldnt do because of budget and timing another thing this movie seems to focuse much more on Freddy than Jason more like he just happens to be using jason who's a side character but other than that fabs of the nightmare and friday franchises will both enjoy this movie excellent special effects and the same stoned sex craving teens asking for a bad dream about a machete in the face and of course Robert Englund returning to his role as Freddy with Kane Hodder (friday 7- jasonx) doing the stunts for jason
At first I considered not purchasing Freddy vs. Jason because my first thoughts were, "Oh, it's going to be a battle between these two for an hour and a half? How boring." But when my friends told me that it was a really great film and that it revolved more around Freddy, I couldn't help but purchase the DVD to check it out for myself. When I got to sit down and watch it in full, with alternate/deleted scenes and all, I had to admit that it was one of the best horror films I had seen in a long time. They combined the greatness of two awesome horror movie icons into one film without making it boring. I also liked that they gave each character some background, which isn't common with the other films I'd seen of the same class. It was a nice change! The idea that Freddy tortures Jason in his dreams is quite interesting, and not something you would really expect. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who's a horror movie lover. It's a great mix of classic and modern, and it won't disappoint, but I warn you: the ending will surprise you!Read full review
I grew up in the age of these slasher flicks and love them immensely!! Needless to say...I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Not only does it combine the two greatest slasher "villains" of all time, but it also has some of the best music in any of the movies. The story goes like this...Freddy has been forgotten and he awakens Jason to kill people on Elm Street so they will start remembering Freddy, thus causing him to have the strength to continue killing again. But, Jason won't stop killing which angers Freddy and one of the greatest fights in movie history begins. As with any movie of this genre, there is ample nudity so beware parents. Lots of gore and dismemberment also. Dark humor and cheesy lines abound...but that's what we want from these types of movies ...right? So, if you love these types of movies or if you've never heard of them before..I recommend getting this movie. The 2 disc Platinum edition contains some really great extras that make it even more worthwhile and the "jump to a death" option lets you skip the story and just witness some the most brutal killings ever created in movies. 3...4... Better lock your door!!!Read full review
I know what you're thinking!! Finally... the movie that Slasher fans have been dying to see (pun intended) is here!! This movie is possibly the most anticipated Horror movie of all time. It was rumored since the late 1980s and was hyped up for over a decade before it was even made. Jason and Freddy, the two biggest names in Horror Cinema, finally lock horns in what proved to be the the coolest Horror film, though not the scariest, ever made. The story for this is very cool, and written very well with some actually decent characters. Now the one guy who's like a rip off of Jay from the "Jay and Silent Bob" films is kinda... annoying, but as we all know, you don't smoke the whacky weed in a Slasher movie. He did, and it was taken care of. Lots of cool deaths, awesome atmosphere and set decoration, great music, cool stunts and even the acting is good. The story (in a nutshell) is Freddy, unable to do anything to anyone because no one remembers him, awakens the rotting corpse of the killing machine known as Jason. Now, almost brainwashed, Jason goes to Elm Street in good ol' Springwood Ohio to kill some teens and conjure up old memories of Freddy, thus giving him the power he needs to do what he does best. Jason turns out to be too good at his job and when Freddy gets mad, he lets Jason know what he's doing. Now the $#!% hits the fan and Jason battles Freddy in the Dream World. The teens knowing that Freddy is the biggest of their problems, have to keep Jason alive long enough to get him to Crystal Lake, wake him up and bring Freddy into the real world for the final fight. This movie is HIGHLY recommended to those, who like me, always had the "what if" fantasies about this epic!! Bonus Features include Deleted Scenes, Alternate Scenes and much more!!

One of my favorite horror movies of all time. The platinum series is truly worth getting because it has the behind the scenes and history that led up to this great film. Ronny Yu did a fantastic job putting this classic together. Nothing more exciting then watching two famous killers Freddy and Jason facing off! I purchased the movie because I'm a big fan of Freddy & Jason series and collect memorabilia from this film. A true horror classic!
