I just picked up Friday The 13th (2009) - Killer Cut

[TravisLegge]

I had a lot of gripe on this movie. The one main thing that I hated was the setup. There was the amazing 'Jason's mom' prologue but then we get into the drugged out teens who we think are the main characters but then they get killed off... this is 20 minutes into the film and it serves as a second prologue. It's unnecessary.

The other thing that I thought was very unoriginal was the fact that Jason had Crystal Lake completely decked out in traps and it made the film feel like Saw and I remember reading somewhere that they should have just called him "Jigson" and get it over with.

Now, I know in the third movie of the F13 series Jason got the mask from the fat kid but in this movie it seems rather lazy and anticlimactic to how he got the mask. All he ends up doing is just rummaging around an attic for no reason and finds the mask and puts it on? Lazy writing!!

These are probably the most valid gripes i've ever read about the remake IMHO.

But, to be fair...

They really condensed parts 1-3 into one movie for the remake. Plan being, of course, to relaunch the franchise.

As far as the booby traps go, it seemed to make sense to me. I mean he didn't have pit-o-dirty-needle deathtraps. He had the place rigged up so he knew where people were and so he could catch folks. That's what I would do if i was a mildly retarded zombie bent on revenge and had my own derelict camp full o' camping supplies at my disposal.

Wouldn't you?
