It stands out for being a tribute to the franchise as a whole rather than a direct remake of the first, but this "Friday the 13th" only further degrades the series' legacy with ridiculous kills and the most unlikable gaggle of teens ever.

Boobs, blood, drugs and a hockey mask killer and this remake doesn't even deliver all that.

I always enjoyed movies that made me jump, but the later horror movies have done nothing but kill suspense, include sex, and make everything bloody. Friday the 13th was no exception. Friday the 13th, along with the clique marks of horror movies, has unrealistic characters. Character interaction was bland, at best, and made the acting seem over-done and quite ridiculous. When the characters did interact well, I couldn't take that part of the movie seriously. Overall, Friday the 13th wasn't even worth watching. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

Not as bad as the remake to Halloween; Friday the 13th is quite disappointing on not delivering anything new to the cliched franchise however; the film does have its fun moments.

Holy shi!t... Wow... Way to go Platinum Dunes for screwing up yet another film. They destroy everything they touch and burn cash like it grows on trees. Here's an idea, instead of spending your millions of dollars on a friggin remake, do something on your own. The only thing I can say good about this film is how it rained at the beginning of the film when jason saw his mother getting killed and it also rained at the end when Jason was chasing the 2 main characters by the lake. Worst thing about this film.... A mansionon Camp Crystal Lake???? Enough said. Burn this film, never watch it, stick to the original.

I honestly can't even give this movie a single star...I just can't. Everything in my being tells me that it doesn't deserve what I even gave it, but I'll admit that it did make me jump a few times, but if this isn't the most predictable horror movie ever made, I don't want to see the one that may be. You have a classic villain who runs now, but the body count, the overt sexual themes, the drugs, the cheesy acting, its all just terrible. There isn't an excuse for producers to say, "Yes, this sounds like a good investment." Sometimes, you just can't figure out producers and writers who decided to make film their profession, but then again, when has there ever been a time when all that came out was golden?

Well what can I say it was a bit cheesy but then again its suppose to be. You have to accept for what it is. Either your gonna love it or hate it.

The original was known for its makeup, this is essentially a retelling of Friday the 13th parts 1-3. It was a good movie with nowhere near the cheesiness of the original film (the original is a guilty pleasure btw). I think it very well could serve as a new starting point for the franchise.

This is a solid three star horror film that was better than I thought it would be. The original is still better but this one breathes new life into the legend and origins of Jason. The characters are all one dimensional the only one that is interesting at all is in fact Jason himself. Direction wise nothing new as far as horror movies go, there where like one or two moments that made me jump but overall it was more about the blood than the horror. The killings where very interesting and creative and thats pretty much what I was expecting not necessarily what I was wanting.
