Re: How do you feel about Freddy vs Jason?
I really enjoy the movie. I waited for 13 years and I’m not kidding either. It felt like it would get really close to happening and then not happen. I read so many articles in Fangoria and Entertainment Weekly saying how production was going to start only for it to not happen for one reason or another. When it finally came out, I really enjoyed it and had a blast. I saw it four times in the theatre and loved it each time.

Re: How do you feel about Freddy vs Jason?
Alot of people know how I feel about the film mainly with the casting and the modified storyline they gave us
Firstly, I will always state that Kane Hodder should have been Jason Voorhees in Freddy Vs Jason period, the man created a monster of a supernatural serial killer, he gave Jason characteristics through 4 films, and to be blindsided and betrayed like that is downright disgusting.
Secondly, the whole "Jason is afraid of Water" nonsense made Jason look like he was weak, and that somehow Water was his kryptonite which is bs, poor writing, and illogical to the Final Chapter, Jason Lives, The New Blood, and Jason Takes Manhattan, as all these previous films showcased that Jason WAS never afraid of any type of water.
Thirdly, no offense to the designers of this film but they made this version of Jason look like he was some homeless man and not someone in the woods, hell I would nickname that version of Jason as Homeless Jason or Hobo Jason, and yes I know Jason wasn't super on clothing but his design was simple as hell and it worked.
Fourth? Freddy didn't get kills, Im not that super big fan of Nightmare on Elm Street but I am a fan, and then the lack of him having a body count didn't sit right with me, since New Line Cinema treated Freddy as their bread and butter.
Finally, Ronnie Yu shouldn't have been given the role of director, no offense yet again because I love Bride of Chucky but this film? No...he admitted multiple times he has never seen neither of Jason or Freddy's film and the fact New Line Cinema even kept begging was sad to know and acknowledge.
Yes it was the biggest box office for both series but it doesn't mean it was the best for either franchise.
I am definitely not a fan of FvJ and I would happily make a fan film correcting the many problems it faced as well so lets hope it comes into reality and not just a fantasy.

Agreed on the water part especially and Shannon and Swift even said he was afraid of drowning not water. They wouldn’t let them put that in the movie.

Re: How do you feel about Freddy vs Jason?
I enjoyed the film more than most, but then I came along at the perfect time to enjoy it. It was the first film in either franchise I got to see in theaters, and while I'd been interested in horror for a while, this was the time of my life when I was really starting to get into it. In other words I knew enough to be excited, but hadn't really built any of the biases yet that caused a lot of fans to take issue with the film. I'm not even sure I knew who Kane Hodder was at the time. TBH, if I'd watched this move a few years after I originally did I'd probably would've had a lot more problems with it... I was just lucky enough that the film came along at a time I was able to appreciate it for what it was.

I've read the original script for the film and it was 10x better than what they released it mentioned the Voorhees House, Tommy Jarvis, and then a ending we could all enjoyed but nope....they butchered it.

Never seen that. I just remember there were so many scripts and it felt like every month or few months they had a new one.
