I really enjoyed watching this film. Almost all the time happens the first film of a franchise to be the best, and many times I also had this opinion, but in this case I don't agree at all.
This film had everything that I'm seeking for a slasher film. The flow of the plot is good, we have more sympathetic characters here, thing which I found very surprising. The protagonist (final girl) is way better than the one of the original film, because of the most important reason: SHE COULD ACT! I hate when they pick actors with no talent at all. Hopefully we don't have this problem here.
One thing that I didn't liked the acting skills of a specific actress. The good thing is that she is not the protagonist. I talk about the one that plays Chili. In the first film I didn't liked at all the acting of the actress who was playing Alice. She was really annoying. In this chapter, we talk about a very bad acting of her, but hilarious too.
The kills were pretty good I can say, not frightening at all. It's less gory than the first two chapters. Maybe they tried to get rid of the MPAA thing. So the gore is minimal (we mostly see the aftermath), there are many fake and real jump scares, and of course the music score is there.
I really liked one of the last scenes where Jason smiles. I'm not going to say something more, except that it was very creepy.
One of the last scenes contain a reference to the first film. Unnecessary in my opinion.
The only thing that I didn't liked, is something that I hate generally in slasher films. Specifically, I talk about the fact that all the characters when they're attacked, NEVER fight for their lives, except of the final girl, of course. It's a cliché that must stop.
Overall, I think it's one of the best (if not the best) film of the series, although I heard many negative reviews, but it's just my opinion. I generally recommend this franchise, it's a good classic.
