Michael Bay kicks ass, I officially am a fan. This film was everything a Jason flick should be, and while it doesn't break any new ground at all... It doesn't need to. There hasn't been a fun slasher like this in awhile, and it's awesome to have Jason back.
I wasn't let down in any way. The kills were all solid, they didn't try to do anything to mess with the character of Jason... Other than he can run now. Even though they try to make his presence more realistic within the movie, he still ends up right behind the stupid teens at every turn. The guy who played Jason was off the chain, he did a perfect job... Just as good as Kane Hodder ( Who did several Jason movies and sort of gave Jason the persona he has ). They let Jason get right to the point to, and rather brutally.
The characters within the movie are your typical punk college kids and all they are is Jason's fodder. There's some attempt to put a story into this film, but it's pretty flat and really just strings everything together. But you're here for Jason, and his dirty work, right? It's a Friday the 13th flick, through and through, with a bit more polish. If you're a fan of Jason movies you'll eat this up, if you're someone who enjoys a good slasher or horror film every now and then, this should satisfy. There were several scenes that had the audience jumping, which was something I haven't seen while viewing a Jason flick in theaters. It seems that some of the chills are back in the series, and that's good. If you think horror movies suck, or think The Exorcist is the only good horror movie, pass.
I loved the ending of the film, too. Classic Jason. I really can't wait for a sequel. I'm guessing the box office is going to be good enough for this film to warrant one.
I'd give it like 15/10.
