Freddy vs Jason
The Plot
Freddy Krueger springs Jason Voorhees from his own personal hell and sends him to Elm Street, determined to strike fear in the hearts of Springwood teens. But when Jason won't stop killing Freddy's "children," Krueger decides it's time to take Voorhees out.
The Movie
There are so many things about this movie that I like but it's all dragged down by slow, boring scenes once they've shown everyone that Freddy and Jason are back. After a few scenes of Freddy and Jason, they disappear off screen for quite a while which just left me waiting for them to return. Though, I guess the wait was worth it as the fights between Freddy and Jason were rather entertaining though it seems Freddy picked up some martial arts lessons back in hell before meeting Jason (What the hell?).
 I'm happy with the music played during the movie, the heavy music gives you that powerful feeling (fight music) and they also have the slower, creepier music which is much more common in horror movies. The acting, the acting is partly good and partly bad. You'll find some good performances in the movie but some of the main characters like Lori (Monica Keena) just seemed to over-do-it. Her little Freddy speech at the end is enough to make me cringe, same with her stupid one-liner which she stole from Freddy "Welcome to my world, bitch!".
If you want a fun movie that will give you a laugh, watch this with your friends. If you want something serious where everything on screen has to be perfect, you may have problems while watching this film as a lot of it is just fun gore and not exactly all that realistic.
The DVD
This is the way DVD's should be. 2 disc set, full of extra goodies to feast upon. Many featurettes to check out such as behind the scenes, stunts, publicity and promos. The audio commentary is quite informative and interesting, even funny so it's worth it to check out that. The quality of the DVD is superb, no problems with picture or sound. I also notice that I can watch this DVD in 3 different aspect ratios such as 2.35:1, 1.78:1 and 1.33:1 (full screen). If you're interested in the movie, pick up this DVD as you can get much better than this for extras with a horror movie.
