Freddy vs. Jason, a review by RossRoy


Freddy vs. Jason
 
WHAT THEY SAY
The Ultimate Battle of Evil vs. Evil

Freddy Krueger is in hell - literally! And like an inmate with a life sentence, Freddy's been plotting a fantastic revenge...all he needs is a little help. In comes Jason Vorhees, the equally iconic madman and perfect means for Freddy to once again instil fear on Elm Street. As the bodies begin to pile up, it becomes clear that Jason isn't willing to step aside.

Now, with a terrified town in the middle, the two titans of terror enter into a horrifying and gruesome showdown. Winner kills all.

MY THOUGHTS
Like you probably, I just discovered the Friday the 13th franchise this year. But, I've loved Nightmare on Elm Street for a long time. Combining the two is brilliant. I will not say the movie is perfect, but I do think it's a fun movie. I luke how they left the ending ambiguous enough to let both camp argue about "Who won?". It's a fun movie, though I wish both protagonists had been feature a bit more. They kids are there too much. Nevertheless, it's a fun movie that I gladly revisit every once in a while.

My thoughts about Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit:
Well, here's another case of a movie that I didn't have any high expectations for. In fact I had very low expectations. Chris Pine as a young Harrison Ford character? No way!

Well, it turns out that Chris Pine isn't the problem with this film. It's the script. It's definitely below par.  And Keira Knightley trying to pass for an American. If they wanted an American, why didn't they cast one. It's not that there is a shortage of US actresses that could play that part. I wonder if that was Kenneth's idea?

If you turn your brain off, this film can be moderately entertaining. But I wouldn't really recommend it. If you're looking for brainless action movies there are far more entertaining stuff to be had.
I rate this title
