a bit of a let down, but amusingly horrid

good solid Friday film and it's entertaining, and has a good dose of comedy too

No better than its predecessors for being in three dimensions; in fact, half as bad again.

Other then the disco theme, my favourite part of this film is watching it in 2D. Watching a yo-yo feel like it's about to hit the camera must have been exhilarating to watch in 3D.

Or "Jason's 3-D Adventure". A nice sense of humor helps this otherwise pretty standard series entry.

I saw all of them at least up to the 8th, but in my memory I can hardly tell them apart. This one introduces the hockey mask, but still they are pretty much the same movie over and over again, and they tend to be repetitive internally as well. Of the major slasher franchises, Friday the 13th is the most boring.

It's crass and crude and dated, it looks as if it was shot on the cheap, the scenery is plain, the characters are stereotypes, and the effects are laughably bad at times. Then, that's all part of the charm of an 80s slasher film. Friday the 13th Part 3D is about as perfect an example as any of what the genre was all about and, if not taken at all seriously, it can be a lot of fun.

It starts slow but gradually picks up as the film progresses. This was my first Jason movie and I must admit I actually enjoyed it. The gore effects are bad, the acting is poor, the plot is hokey, and typically if a movie has one of these negatives checked I would have reviewed it poorly. However, amazingly with all of these combined it makes for a really fun time. Watch this movie with friends and have a great time doing your own impromtu Mystery Science Theater-esqe bashing.

So this is the one where Jason gets his iconic mask, which ends up being the only reason to watch this movie, and somehow I get the feeling they knew that as they were making it. Almost hypnotically boring, even after you get to the point when the killing finally starts.

Okay Movie

It's ironic that Jason doesn't get his mask until the film in which the Friday the 13th formula first shows its wear. The series should be building to a high point here, but after two good movies, this one's pretty average.

This is "the one with the jewfro guy". Thanks to the jewfro guy, the mask appears and we have the Jason of pop culture. Aside from the mask, nothing here really adds to the Jason legend - it could have been any psycho doing the killing. The scenes that were made to be "impressive" in 3D stick out badly. There are some good kills, like the arrow in the eye. The head squish was a bit much, but it got a good laugh out of me. This is the first one where they imply that Jason is dead at the end.

Bruce Springsteen bumper stickers and head-ache inducing 3-D. The best kill in this movie is when the retard decides to impress a girl he just banged by walking on his hands and then ends up being split in half by our loveable mongoloid killer. The really obvious 3D effect staged shots make this a ~hoot~ when they're popping the popcorn the stupid hippy holds the bowl in a way that no one holds a bowl.

OH MY GOD oh it's just my friend grabbing my arm AHH ITS JASON WITH A KNIFE no its dave with a tire iron fixing the car LOUD NOISE BEHIND ME its just a cat meowing SOMEONE SCREAMED those swimmers are having fun on the dock BLOOD EVERYWHERE who keeps spilling the rasberry jam THAT'S A KNIFE IN THE HEAD it's just fake, what a weird prank to run on your friends WINDOWS SMASHED OPEN AND A HAND IS NOW he's repairing it? that's a destructive way of doing things

More of the same. Gets his mask. Less nudity. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

I completely forgot Jason didn't have the hockey mask the first two films. I also don't care.
