I enjoyed watching the first batch of teens in the beginning of the movie, this movie felt like a real Friday the 13th movie, the acting was your typical teens in the woods until the second batch of teens took over then the movie got lame because those kids were terrible actors and the whole film changed for the worst. The only good thing was JASON!
shareI liked Amanda Righetti and Ben Feldman as Whitney and Richie respectively. I didn't particularly care for slutty big boobs or the guy from die hard part 4/Chernobyl diaries. And the other guy who played Mike I didn't mind.
Obviously, or not so, I do like Jared Padalecki, but prefer My Bloody Valentine's Jensen Ackles.
Danielle Panabaker I didn't mind. And the guy that played the blonde guy I liked (Nolan?)
Unfortunately I could stick the two (bleached?) blonde slags or the 'ethnic' guys. And the Trent guy was pure caricature.
I would have preferred less flapping fun bags too. And any male nudity would have been good.
But at least it didn't have Beyoncé Knowles-Z in, like the predecessor - Freddy vs Jason.
Opening scene was in pretty good. After that it becomes compete trash in every way. It's so bad it's not even watchable after that intro scene.

I enjoyed the intro as well! Those characters were so much less cookie-cutter, as far as these movies go. Def more entertaining to watch.
share>this movie felt like a real Friday the 13th movie
No, it didn't, not even remotely. Real Friday the 13th movies don't feature Millennials with their annoying style of banter, which is the same style of low-rent "sarcastic" or "ironic" banter you hear from Millennials in practically every other movie or TV show made in the 21st century. Also, real Friday the 13th movies don't feature crappy 21st century style color timing.
>The only good thing was JASON!
They ruined Jason with that goofy-looking cheap knockoff hockey mask (they couldn't afford twelve bucks to buy a mask cast from a Part 3 production blank - https://www.jdfstudios.com/product-page/style-a-hockey-mask-blank?), along with a bad NECA-looking paint job, and by giving him hair.

You're full of sh*t, mate!
Your non sequitur is dismissed, airhead.
shareAs is your blind, obnoxious and misguided nostalgia, fantard.
shareThis non sequitur of yours is dismissed as well, ninny, and given that you still have no arguments whatsoever, your tacit agreement with everything I said is noted.
share"you still have no arguments whatsoever"
You're right, I don't, I'm just pointing out observations. No point trying to argue with blind fantards.
>You're right, I don't
Your concession is noted, simpleton.
>I'm just pointing out observations.
You have posted nothing but non sequiturs, and idiots are the sole source of non sequiturs of this type. In other words, you've done nothing but establish yourself as an idiot.
>No point trying to argue with blind fantards.
Idiots don't know how to argue, obviously.
Your tacit agreement with everything I said remains noted, baby sister.
Don't waste your time with this retard. This is the only argument he uses of every posts.
shareReally? Again this exact same counter as you used on another post?? Jeez man... I thought you were at least a creative troll.
shareLOL at you still following me around. Also, your non sequitur is dismissed, dumbass.
shareThere's a difference between "following you around" and randomly going on a thread and see you there...
shareUh huh.
You replied to me on The Terminator board, then on the Creed board, then on the Independence Day: Resurgence board, and now on the Friday the 13th (2009) board. None of those movies are related to each other. There are many thousands of movie boards on this site, given that they copied IMDb's forum database before IMDb shut it down; a board for pretty much every movie ever made since the dawn of movie making, and you just happened to be browsing the same four boards for four unrelated movies that I've posted on recently, completely at random? LOL at that, and LOL at you too, you know, while I'm at it. Your laughable story is almost as pathetic as you following me around in the first place.
Hey, fucktard. I don't know how your fucking brain works, but on the first page of this website there is TRENDING section in which are listed movies that received messages recently. And when you click on the said movie, you happen to find posts with the mention "last reply 9 hours ago" (for instance).
So me, going on this website, I like to discuss on boards that HAVE SOME ACTION instead of talking with myself on random posts.
So here how it goes (because you seem quite fucking slow): I click on the said posts, scroll them down and what I see... A username that I know and clearly remember that it's a fucktard. So seeing this same fucktard using the same fucking arguments over and over again, I notify the said fucktard that he's still as pathetic as he was. :D So then, when the fucktard counters me with the same shitty argument for the millionth time, I remind him that he's a retarded troll. :)
How do you like it... I just sunk to your level of low. I guess I'm gonna get other insults now that I called you out on your horseshit.
Yeah sure... I was following you around the board. You are important enough to me so it worth losing my time on you... Lol. (Actually, I just did waste my time on you but man... that felt nice)

First:
Comical Irony Alert (you know, coming from a well-established idiot)
Second: pointing out a non sequitur isn't an argument, numbnuts. A non sequitur is logically invalid, thus it can legitimately be dismissed out of hand. It's the only response you'll ever see from me when I'm replying to a non sequitur, just as "four" would be the only response you'd ever see from me if I decided to answer the question, "What does two plus two equal?" Same input = same output, obviously. If there were fewer idiots there would inherently be fewer non sequitur posts (idiots being the sole source of non sequiturs), and thus fewer replies from me pointing out said non sequitur. Is that clear, clodpate?
>How do you like it... I just sunk to your level of low. I guess I'm gonna get other insults now that I called you out on your horseshit.
Your non sequitur is dismissed, dolt.
>Yeah sure... I was following you around the board...
Your poor stab at sarcasm is dismissed and your concession is noted, Slow Doug™.
Lol here he goes again singing his song. XD Keep it up. :p
So yeah, assuming that literally no-one agrees with you, sure you have the only logical answers.
Who let cranky old maxim on the computer again?
Take it easy, gramps. We know at your age you’re pretty much given a license to be cranky and act like a total snob. But still, you know getting into arguments with people on the internet (especially venting on these damn kids on your lawn) doesn’t do you any favors.
Now, does someone need their diapes changed? Phew... that stanks!
Geriatric jokes aside, keep on believing that the older movies, which I grew up on myself, were sooooo much better from a filmmaking and acting standpoint than this 21st century movie. LOL
Respect my elders my hated millennial ass...
Your entire post is a non sequitur; consider it dismissed out of hand. Also, given that you have no arguments whatsoever, your tacit concession on the whole matter is noted.
shareLol, I don't even know why I didn't click on the "ignore" button yet.
I see two different possibilities in his case: a rebellious and frustarted 13 years old (top)... Are a 40+ years old frustrated virgin. In both cases, we should take his computer away.
The old Friday the 13th movies featured annoying Generation X’ers with dry, lifeless, and smug personalities. In other words, they were annoying young kids from their time. Every generation has them, but to the holier-than-thou older generation right now, the modern age and Millennials are the worst to ever exist in the history of humanity.
If your post isn’t sarcastic, then goddamn you are the ultimate old man yelling at a cloud. Keep reminiscing about the good ol’ days and how much better they were, you miserable old bag. By the way, this movie, while certainly flawed, had much better direction and performances than the majority of the previous Jason movies.
>The old Friday the 13th movies featured annoying Generation X’ers with dry, lifeless, and smug personalities. In other words, they were annoying young kids from their time.
That's an asinine assertion. There were eight movies, and none of the characters had personalities that fit your three-adjective description. It isn't even possible for a character to fit that description, because "smug" is inherently not "dry" and/or "lifeless". There were only two characters who were smug (one in part 7 and one in part 8), and they were intended to be disliked by the audience, given that they both antagonized the final girl in their respective movies.
One of the best characters of the series wasn't even a "Generation Xer"; she was from the generation which preceded the Baby Boomers (i.e., Pamela Voorhees, "The Silent Generation").
Crispin Glover's character was hilarious, and one of the most memorable characters of the '80s, not just of the F13 series. That was entirely due to the talent of the actor; he invented that bizarre characterization and ad-libbed most of his lines.
Crazy Ralph was hilarious too, and Walt Gorney was from an even older generation than Betsy Palmer ("The Greatest Generation").
There were very few annoying characters in the series, and most of the ones that were, were antagonists or otherwise intended to be unlikable. There were plenty of dry/lifeless characters throughout the series, but that doesn't translate to "annoying".
>Every generation has them, but to the holier-than-thou older generation right now, the modern age and Millennials are the worst to ever exist in the history of humanity.
No, Generation Z is worse than Y (Millennials).
>If your post isn’t sarcastic, then goddamn you are the ultimate old man yelling at a cloud. Keep reminiscing about the good ol’ days and how much better they were, you miserable old bag.
Your non sequitur is dismissed, simpleton.

>By the way, this movie, while certainly flawed, had much better direction and performances than the majority of the previous Jason movies.
Or so you say. I found all of the original Paramount F13 movies to be far more entertaining than the one from 2009, which is all that matters. The only thing notable about the 2009 movie was Julianna Guill's tits.
By the way, don't let the fact that I replied to your post fool you into thinking your post was relevant in any way. I originally replied to someone who said:
"this movie felt like a real Friday the 13th movie"
It didn't, for the reasons I stated, and nothing you posted had anything to do with that.
OK, you want an argument? Fine, here it is:
All a Friday the 13th movie needs to "feel" like a Friday the 13th movie is focus on a group of teenagers at Crystal Lake being hunted down by the vengeful, undead mass murderer Jason Voorhees, wearing a hockey mask and wielding a machete. Anyone who's not a blind fantard knows this. This remake actually pretty good by it's franchise' standards and is the best Friday the 13th film since The New Blood, miles ahead of those terrible reincarnations by New Line Cinema back in the 90's and early 00's. And let's not act like the original film was perfect either, it probably wouldn't have much of a lasting legacy without the endless line of sequels that followed.
Satisfied?
>All a Friday the 13th movie needs to "feel" like a Friday the 13th movie is focus on a group of teenagers at Crystal Lake being hunted down by the vengeful, undead mass murderer Jason Voorhees, wearing a hockey mask and wielding a machete.
First, the OP used the term "real", which means the original movies from the '80s. There are fan-made videos on YouTube that have the elements you mentioned, yet they don't in any way feel like a real Friday the 13th movie.
Second, according to you, the original Friday the 13th doesn't feel like a Friday the 13th movie, because it doesn't have Jason hunting down anyone, let alone a hockey mask. The second F13 movie doesn't qualify according to you either, because Jason doesn't wear a hockey mask. Any list of things needed to feel like a Friday the 13th movie, which ends up excluding the first two movies, was obviously written by an idiot.
In order to recreate the "feel" of a 1980s movie, for starters, you have to recreate the look of an '80s movie. That means using film stock with a level of grain comparable to what was used in the '80s, and using color timing comparable to what was used in the '80s. The low-grain film stock and ridiculous color timing of the 2009 movie looks nothing like anything that was filmed in the '80s. Also, you would need to use '80s filming techniques.
Using the right film stock, color timing, and filming techniques would give you the right look, but that's all for naught if you don't actually set the movie in the '80s. Creating a believable '80s setting is easier said than done (and of course, the 2009 movie didn't even try, and its lack of an '80s setting disqualifies it from feeling like a real Friday the 13th movie in and of itself).
Also, you can't recreate the feel of a real Friday the 13th movie by fundamentally changing the Jason character, such as by having him take a prisoner.

>Anyone who's not a blind fantard knows this.
"Anyone who's not a blind fantard knows" that the first two Friday the 13th movies didn't feel like Friday the 13th movies? You + an idiot = 2 idiots.
>This remake actually pretty good by it's franchise' standards and is the best Friday the 13th film since The New Blood, miles ahead of those terrible reincarnations by New Line Cinema back in the 90's and early 00's.
Your opinion of how good the 2009 movie was is utterly irrelevant, i.e., it has nothing to do with whether or not it felt like a real F13 movie.
>And let's not act like the original film was perfect either, it probably wouldn't have much of a lasting legacy without the endless line of sequels that followed.
This is irrelevant as well, for the exact same reason.
