This is the movie you always dreamed about when you were 10 years old. But looking back, you also dreamed about stood slapping Macho Man and mud wrestling Miss Elizabeth in the square ring, so what did you know?
This movie is the worst product to ever come from such a great 10 second brainstorm. Everything about it was wrong from the set up to the finish. The idea that Freddy is no longer feared and must resurrect Jason to inflict terror and subsequently nightmares back into the masses is lame even for a movie about a zombie with a hockey mask fighting a disfigured demon who wears a derby.
Sure these two guys were great in their own respective universes, but how did it ever get to the point where someone decided to financially back this movie? Like I said before, the idea of getting Jason and Freddy together sounds great...until you actually sit down and think about it. Apparently nobody ever did that with this idea and we all got stuck with it.
The movie is made up of numerous horrible rehashed ideas that aren't worth mentioning or remembering. Luckily I can't remember most of them.
So I'll skip to the final scene which gives us the big fight between Jason and Freddy that we've all been waiting one and a half hours and 15 years for. The CGI is so obvious that each character could have been given a life meter and an on screen time limit and nobody would have noticed. The fight scene itself was jazzed up with so many Matrix style flips and kicks that Bruce Lee himself may not have been able to beat these guys in a one on one kung fu match.
This movie is proof that you can't relive the past. Jason and Freddy should have been left alone so people could dream about how great it would have been to see them fight. Unfortunately now we all have been slapped in the face with the knowledge that fantasy is always better than reality and movie monsters don't disappear once their respective careers fade away, they go off and study kung fu.
Now put your Miss Elizabeth posters back in the closet and sell your copy of Freddy vs. Jason on ebay.
