OK I liked this movie, it was good for a V.S. movie. There was enough Freddy V.S. Jason time to keep me satisfied, but it's a bit one sided don't you think? I kept score at home (Im a NERDlol) and Jason PWNED when it came to kills. Freddy killed one person directly, while Jason had himself a bloodbath. I do acknowledge that Freddy indirectly killed some people and fought great for a guy in his position, but COME ON! Heres my main problem with the movie: IT Ain't A MATCH! You've got Jason a super strong killing machine, that's ALL HE DOES! Then there's Freddy, hes scrawny in comparison and doesn't kill people off the bat like Jason. Freddy likes to play with his food. You can see the obvious problem. The match I wanna see is Michael V.S. Jason. Two killing machines who don't mess around. Plus, Michael can take a punch from Jason. We're talking about two huge guys! That would be an even match up. And this is coming from a huge fan of Freddy! Freddy is just better when he can take his time to play mind games and kill horrifically! Freddy needs a new movie. Are you up to it Mr. Englund?

I thought that Jason and Freddy were fossils of the 80s. I was wrong. This movie works well. I liked it better than the overrated Scream movies. Freddy and Jason make a great team. This is an exciting movie with two cult figures meeting on screen for the first time. The fight is satisfying. 7/10

Now there's a novel idea: pit two iconic horror movie villains against each other in a modern, up-to-date slasher movie (refreshingly free of the annoying self-awareness that ruined the films that followed Scream) and throw in tons of gore and violence to appease jaded audiences. The result? A jokey, reference-filled epic that will entertain fans of both sets of films. Although not exactly adding any new ground to the mythos generated by twenty-odd movies, this one goes back to the basics and has plenty of inventive dream sequences to recommend it. The plot is fairly full, too, with plenty of killing going on, with unpredictable victims for a change. The helmer is BRIDE OF CHUCKY's Ronny Yu, and he makes a damned good attempt at things.

The teenage crowd that provides the focus of the film are the usual unknown bunch of intellectual bimbos, brainless jocks and topless starlets. Robert Englund returns, having a ball as a particularly vicious Freddy, although sadly Kane Hodder has been replaced by another hulking menace behind the hockey mask. The death sequences are frequent and extremely gruesome, with bodies cut in two, decapitations and impalings galore. Other deaths, like the fold-up bed scene, are particularly ingenious and raise schlocky gore to new, obscene levels. As for the scare factor, well Freddy is quite OTT this time, not particularly frightening (but was he ever, except in the very first film?) whilst Jason, as the immobile stalker, actually succeeds in terms of sheer menace – I loved the scenes of him stalking in the cornfield. The final showdown between the two movie monsters is well worth the wait, with extreme, cartoonish violence being the order of the day. Bring on the next in the series
