Jason was a cold, calculating, menacing killer. Instead of one who can miraculously teleport like in the originals. I just don't see why people are never happy. They say they want an "old-school" slasher (when most of them are like 16-19 years old) and when they get one, they bitch about it. When I go to a slasher, I'm not looking for a convoluted involved plot with yards of character development. I want boobies and a cook killer, sprinkled with some kills. Period. This movie shares many of the flaws as its originals, whereas people cannot overlook them here, but turn a blind eye to the same problems in the coveted, worshipped originals......Larry<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThe problem is the genre of "slasher flicks" died 20 years ago. The originals certainly had their flaws certainly but, that was part of their appeal. They were fun to watch....the obvious fake chopped off heads and outrageous kills and Jasons impossible teleportation abilities. They were products of their time and weren't meant to be studied like scientific lab samples. They were fun entertainment. I think they should of stopped around Part 7 or maybe before that but, what can you do ?
