Maybe "so bad it's good"? That's the only way I could see. Playing on a double bill with
Swept Away five years from now Saturday midnights at a revival house somewhere.
Quote from: godardianMaybe "so bad it's good"?
Yeah, your rite! This is one of those movies your gonna rent in about ten years, and just laugh about how bad it is!
Making bad movies is a dirty job, but someones gotta do it!
I thought the trailer was quite good.
I can't see it being that bad. Ronny Yu is in charge, the dude who made 'Bride of Chucky' actually work. Anyone who can make something like 'Bride of Chucky' a slick (and watchable) flick should easily be able to make 'Freddy vs Jason' tolerable (ANYTHING would be better than the atrocity that was 'Jason X').
Having said that, I wouldn't exactly be 'stunned' if the film ends up being godawful..........
No good can come from FVJ, especially sinced Ronny Yu directed it! UGH!
Is it just me or is when Freddy popped out of camp crystal lake the coolest thing ever
I really liked Jason X. It is a horrible movie but it is so much fun to watch. I think it is the best since the Original...because they realize that this is the 10th film of the franchise and .... used a lot of tongue and cheek humor.
The virtual 80s scene is classic.
I actually really dug Jason X. It had some really cool deaths and all the perks of a cheesy horror flick. The virtual 80's scene was the shit and i really liked the death where he freezes the girls face and then smashes it on the table. I thought the ending was good and it was an all around plus for the franchise. Anyone know why Kane Hodder did not play Jason in the new flick? Although I am most fond of the Micheal Myers franchise and i wish the good put a descent script together for the next one. And please STOP HIRING RAP ARTISTS TO BATTLE MICHEAL MYERS!!!!!
Quote from: BankyIs it just me or is when Freddy popped out of camp crystal lake the coolest thing ever
its not just you. i just saw freddy vs jason tonite in wash dc, and i have to say i liked it a lot. once again, this is not going to convince any non-believers, but if you are interested in this movie from the premise or the trailer, it delivers on any reasonable expectations.
its not too often you get to see a horror movie of these proportions. it was, admittedly the first of either series i'd seen in the theatre. being a bigger freddy fan than jason and the last one coming out when i was 12 or 13 years old, i grew up watching most of these with friends on video countless times.
what was one of the most intesresting aspeects was just watching these two going from villians/slashers to really, horror movie monster icons. just like any of the old movies like frankenstein meets the wolf man or house of frankenstein or house of dracula, it was just so great, no matter how implausible to see these two horror icons together onscreen. hell, even having them in the same movie was great. even before the end battle just knowing that these kids could be hacked up by jason at any moment or if they fall asleep by freddy was enough to keep a fanboy smile on my face throughout most of the movie.
more possibly later...
This movie is easily going to be regulated to late night USA viewings and cult status at best, so my complaint is how typical the horror looks in relation to all the other horror films being dished out. At least go for some great strangeness in story, filmmaking and gore. Its chances of success for its crowd will likely be higher considering the weight of the idea of the film to them.

i cant wait. is it very gory?
Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash?
Source: Creature Corner
On the eve of the release of New Line's "Freddy Vs. Jason," it should come as no surprise to discover that the grinding wheels of development are already hard at work on concepts for the next film in the inevitable "Freddy & Jason" franchise.
Reliable sources have revealed that one of the current ideas being tossed around includes a scenario where Freddy and Jason would team-up against a common enemy: Bruce Campbell as Ash from the "Evil Dead" films. As crazy as it might sound, this concept has apparently been met with a great deal of enthusiasm in the upper-echelons of New Line Cinema. (Not to mention the degrees of separation: "FvsJ" producer Sean S. Cunningham directed Campbell in last years "Terminal Invasion" for the SciFi Channel.)
While it's impossible to predict what sort of "unknowns" might prevent this concept from seeing the light of day (like, say, the rights holders of the "Evil Dead" series or Campbell himself saying no) it's interesting to know that New Line is at least considering what could turn out to be many a fanboy's dream team-up "plus one" for the not-to-distant future...
...stranger things have happened.
I hope there is nudity in this film. That is one of the the pillars these franchises are both set on.
I doubt there'll be nudity. I hope there's not fakeout nudity though, that's the worst. Every see Halloween 4? A couple is making out by the fire, the girl takes off her bra, and the camera pans up right before you see anything! I don't see why they do that, it's gonna be R anyway, it's a horror movie! Killing and nudity is what makes horror movies great.
But the reason I doubt there's going to be no nudity is beause Bride Of Chucky didn't have nudity. That's my only reason... :?
all i know is they better not bring Michael Myers into any of these "VS" movies. He is the only one that has not gone all supernatural.
I dont care how good this movie is it better have nudity. I swear it should be slam loaded with it.(although i know it wont be) If there are no titties i will honestly feel cheated.
this is the same ronny yu who did bride with white hair (and yeah, warriors of virtue) I think it's gonna be good.
there is always hope
http://www.mrskin.com/all/movbio.htm?id=12743
Yes, Ronny Yu has done it right! There is hope!
i was referring to the hope that there will be nudity
I know. So was I.
I can't believe we're even talking about this movie. We're all better than this.
Quote from: filmcriticI can't believe we're even talking about this movie. We're all better than this.
Why do you feel this movie is beneath this board's standards, "Gigli" watcher?
"Gigli" was another one nobody should have brought up. As I've said before, I'm suppose to see stuff like this. I have no choice. But ya'll do!
Have you seen it yet? If not, aren't you supposed to be unbiased as a film critic?
A lot of us here are fans of horror and the Freddy and Jason movies and have been waiting for this based on a good looking trailer. I know I'm choosing to see it this weekend. If you're not excited about seeing it, fine, that's the way you feel and no one's arguing that. I just think that to say that a film is beneath all of us and not worth talking about goes against what this board is all about.
Yeah, I've seen it. And if you are fans of the Freddy and Jason movies, you may like it. Otherwise, you'll be either disgusted or it'll make you laugh.
maybe filmcritic is in reality brett ratner trying to be atrsy and therefor he hangs around messageboards, denying his mainstream side and trusting blindly on eberts revies. rock on ratner, one you'll be another person.
I'm no putting any emphasis on Ebert. There are some movies he's liked that I haven't and vice versa. I don't know what his take on this movie will be.
Man, the gore in this movie is great. The blood geyesers are quite exquisite. Every time someone gets slashed or stabbed....more blood! Wonderful. Magical. Like a fine morning mist, or a lawn sprinkler, except red. It pools nicely several times as well. I'm actually surprised they got this out with an R rating.
That said, I didn't like much else in the movie (aside from the blatant nudity, which was certainly appropriate). The script was just a little TOO ludicrous and stupid. But if I had seen it in a packed theater, I'm sure I would have had a heck of a lot of fun with it.
ghostboy you are a good man. I cant wait to see this movie. This shit is gonna rock. Film Critic is being a DB.
I'll see this saturday for sure. I love Freddy and he's funny as hell.
Anyways, good or bad, this movie is needed right now. Gore and sex is just what people need in these sad times (remember September eleven)
im going to see this movie tonight at 7 30. I hope it is going to meet my expectations. I think it will. Anyways, i'll have my opinion posted by tonight.
I saw it last night and it was hit and miss. What hit was what should've: the gore, the gore, the gore. Yessss. There were some quality moments from Freddy in this one, which I always savor. Englund's the supreme shit. But I thought the story was treated too "funnily;" granted, I don't know if it's really possible to make a good serious story from a VS movie like this, so I suppose they went the right direction, but it was also really self reflexive. Too much so, I thought. Still a great time though.
Here comes the review:
I dont think i could have asked for a better experience. The entire theatre was sold out and packed and every one was ready to see the movie. Holy shit this movie hit on every level. Granted its just a slasher flick but by god it was good. Top notch titties right out the gate. The gore in this movie was grade A. All the kids that were killed by The duo were bloody and exciting. The plot is pretty fluid an there is never a fall in action. The girl in the shower was also a nice touch. Also great Jason flash backs that make you actually feel for the character. The whole audience was cheering for who they wanted to win. The comical releif was actually comical in this one. The best line in the movie is from the stoner when he's discussing Jason. It was on point. And the battle at the end was not dissapointing at all. Those fuckers bled a lot. Very excting fight between the two and it was surreal seeing it. Very fucking gorey. And the end was of course a tease and a very well recieved one. If you are not a hard core slasher fan you still need to see this. Support the franchises. This is an extremely entertaing movie. Please everyone go see this. Keep in mind its just a slasher flick but quite possibly the slickest and most entertaining one to date.
They REALLY give you an eyeful of nudity in the first fifteen minutes, but then it's absent from the rest of of the movie (except for the dead chick in the dream closet). I wish they had kept the gore-to-promiscuousness level up throughout the film, but what can you do.
Great movie ! Very entertaining, probably one of the more fun of 2003. Not enough nude chicks after the 15 minutes and the violence isn't really troubling. It's gory allright though
agree with that. I think this is one of the top 3 most entertaining movies of the summer

nice choice for the lead
Possibly the best horror sequel in over a decade.
I liked it quite a bit, from the outrageous plots to the Britany Murphy lookalike to the Jason Mewes wannabe.
The gore is fantastically fantastic... I was falling out of my seat laughing.
Ronnie Yu has revitalized the slasher/gore picture and brought the dignity back to the characters, which made them so great to watch in the first place, by providing for some nice backstories of each villain and letting them do what they bloody well do best. Great fight sequences utilizing each one's strengths and weaknesses. Thank God this didn't go the way of "Halloween H2O".
What was wrong with Halloween H20? I thought thatt was a pretty damn good seqeual.
Quote from: BankyWhat was wrong with Halloween H20?
It was awful.

do you need to change your tampon?
..this film was just plain fun(ny)..i enjoyed it ..the jason mewes character was bad ..thats the second film where they ripped of a character to a T...first was J. Davies as brad pitt's character from 12 monkeys.. and now this..but this is all just me.. i liked this film its funnnnnnnn
I absolutely loved this film. It is far from being the best movie I have seen all year but it is the most fun. I have already seen it twice and I plan on going a third time. If you haven't seen it...go to it for a good time.
PS> in case anyone has been wondering where I have been...I have moved to a different apartment and am currently without internet until Sept 2.
i wish people would go see it this weekend to support the franchise. Studios really look at second week #'s as a test of longevity. I also heard in an iterview that Robert Englund has a preqeul to nightmare one that he wants to do.
I finally saw this last night. Much better than I anticipated. And a horror movie with some semblance of a plot. :shock: Great gore, played the characters off each other perfectly. Great ending.
One question though (SPOILER) if Freddy did kill the girl's mother instead of the Dad, why did Ryan see the Father killing her? Freddy only can control things in dreams, so Ryan would have to be dreaming to see the wrong thing, right? I know I'm trying to insert logic into a horror movie, but is there something I'm missing here?

no the dad was in a dream state and could see Freddy. So when Ryan saw what was happeing in the real world all he saw was the dad(sleep walking)over top the bloody wife holding a knife.
get it?

well, actually the same could be said of any genre of film that you like but really doesnt make any sense. roger ebert througout the whole casablanca commentary just rips apart how illogical the whole story is in the first place. but its still a great movie.

.true but the context of the horror film is different..like as soon as Raikus wrote that i
knew what he meant ..but on the flipside i see what you mean also...but hooro films seem to have the most illogical elements in them dontcha think?
no.
Quote from: themodernage02no.
alright this is what i am saying.....::clears throat::
you can find illogical facets in ANY FILM..it's just that horror films seem to contain more of these illogical facets...
HERE IS A QUIZ..(reply w/quote the most ilogical of the two)
1.0 elm street 1 vs. casablanca
2.0 jason x vs in the name of my father
3.0 pumpkinhead vs dazed and confused
4.0 ghoulies 2 vs hard eight
5.0 toxic avenger vs. in the bedroom
6.0 bride of chucky vs saving private ryan
7.0 attack of the killer tomatos vs you can count on me
Freddy Vs. Jason is the funniest damn movie I've ever seen. I'm the best example of a desensitised youth. It was great there was so much blood and gore and my friends and I are busting up laughing through the whole movie!
PS. Great handle BANKY!

Ronny Yu on Freddy vs. Jason DVD, Sequel & More
Source: Moviehole
Moviehole talked to director Ronny Yu today, who is promoting the Freddy vs. Jason release down under, and he chatted about his upcoming projects and the DVD they've just finished.
The Freddy vs. Jason DVD
"There are so much Freddy fans, and there are so much Jason fans. Probably about fifty-fifty. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't upset anyone. I wanted everyone to walk out of the cinema with big smiles on their faces. So we shot two endings, and at the end I could present them both and see which one was the best. Ultimately, the other ending – the one you see now – was the one that satisfied the fans the most". Yu says that other ending will be on the forthcoming DVD. "It will be on there. Most definitely. But I'm not telling you who wins in that one", he laughs. "There's a great DVD coming actually. I love it. It's called a Platinum Collectors edition and it'll be two discs. On the first disc we will have this whole feature on the evolution of both series with interviews and everything, leading right up to Freddy vs. Jason. And then we have some deleted scenes, including some of the CGI stuff that I just didn't think worked. There are also two commentaries - One just me by myself, and then one with Englund and the guy that plays Jason".
Freddy vs. Jason 2 and the Elm Street Prequel
And with "Freddy vs. Jason" doing so well at the overseas box office, is there talk of any more? "After the box office returns on this one, they're already taking about it. And if they want me back, I'd be happy to come back. The fans really want another one. This time, I think we should split Freddy and Jason up though and bring in someone like Michael Myers". Yu says he'd also be interested in directing the much-talked about "Elm Street" prequel, that Robert Englund's flying the flag for. "I'd love to. Robert is so for it. I mean, he's so into Freddy. He's just so good at it."
Childs Play 5
Another iconic horror character making a comeback according to the grapevine is Chucky. Yu directed the last instalment, "Bride of Chucky". "They've been talking about it for so long, doing another one. But I really enjoyed doing Bride. It came down to the fact that they just had a great script. It was a great experience. I learnt on Hong Kong movies how to successfully mix-match both the horror and comedy genre's and I think made it work here, and also for Freddy vs. Jason."
Blood - The Last Vampire
Next up, says the director, is a feature film version of anime classic "Blood: The Last Vampire Slayer". "It's about this highschool girl who carries this huge Samurai sword. We've just started on the script but ideally we'd be having a mix-match of American and Japanese actors for it".
thats awsome i cant wait for that DVD. I wonder what the other ending was like.
I'm afraid we don't know a great deal about this one yet, but we can tell you that it will be a two disc set packed with interviews, deleted scenes and more. Naturally, we'll bring you more information on this one as soon as we get it. For now though, here's a first look at the official region one artwork:
