After 11 years in development hell and screenplay drafts by 13 different writers, the long-awaited smackdown of Freddy vs. Jason finally arrives. After making their respective debuts in Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger, replacing long-time Jason performer Kane Hodder) and razor-gloved Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) square off in a slasher-franchise combo-deal that only their most devoted fans will appreciate; turns out this is a lightweight match in which nobody wins. It's an average entry in the histories of these horror icons, comparable to half of their previous sequels, and Bride of Chucky director Ronny Yu satisfies purists with plenty of gushing blood and mayhem when Freddy recruits Jason to slice 'n' dice the ill-fated teens who've forgotten Freddy's once-formidable reign of terror. While it logically connects the gruesome legacies of Nightmare's Elm Street and Friday's Camp Crystal Lake, this horror hybrid is shockingly uninspired. It briefly peaks when Freddy gives the unconscious Jason a dream-world pummeling, but their ultimate showdown's a draw. In the immortal words of Peggy Lee, is that all there is? --Jeff Shannon

 Awesome November 26, 2009
David A. Smith (Webberville, Mi, USA)
Two horror movie icons at each others throat what else can you ask for, well freddy vs jason just gives you that this movie is awesome
 Fun to watch as a slasher film, but fails as a Nightmare and Friday film November 3, 2009

I really have no idea what the point of this movie was, exactly, but I certainly did not enjoy the premise of the ordeal. It's kind of fun to watch Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees duke it out, but overall it won't leave you feeling very entertained; or that your time had been well spent.
The plot opens with the best scene in the entire film, which is the prologue of Robert Englund as the pre-supernatural Freddy and his origin. From here, the film quickly declines. Freddy , trapped in Hell because of the fact that the people of Springwood have erased every trace of his existence (thus children don't know him, and as such can't fear him, so thus Freddy can't enter their dreams....I don't recall Nancy knowing who Freddy was until her mother explained in the first Nightmare film, but OK). He cons Jason to rise from the dead and kill the (as usual, overly horny teens) kids of Elm Street, thus causing his name to spread once more.
This results in Freddy losing it when he realizes Jason's gone on a murderous rage (duh) and is preventing Freddy from savoring the time and elaboration he likes to take when killing teens. Annnnd, this is where the "plot" of Freddy and Jason actually fighting comes in. The fight in Freddy's boiler room dreamscape is very nice, and the Crystal Lake fight at the end is also entertaining up until the construction site portion onwards. Problem is that between these fights, there really is zero substance.
A usual problem with slashers is horribly present here: horrible, ditzy, female actresses. They're good on the eyes, but make the brain cringe. The blonde girl who's the lead is "a virgin" (PAH! I bet...) and there is a scene in dreamland where Freddy creeps his claws up her leg in what would have been horrifying...if her character was at all believable, or something the audience could relate to. As far as the audience is concerned, Freddy may as well be threatening to defile a trash can.
The problem is mainly that Jason kills the most people yet he is presented as some sort of anti-hero while Freddy is the pure villain. What is with these crossover monster features and making one of the antagonists winding up as some sort of hero figure? Plus, Freddy Krueger is a far more interesting character than Jason Vorhees who is a boring zombie who stumbles through everything like Frankenstein on steroids while Freddy has menace in the fact that...he just really likes killing! Robert Englund (As usual) portrays Freddy Krueger as someone who savors each and every life he takes while Jason is mindlessly hacking his way through each scene.
I'm no blood fiend, but the fact that Freddy only kills ONE TEEN in this entire film through dreamland (and it isn't even good by Freddy standards) while Jason not only kills the most "good guys" but is also portrayed as the hero of this clash. Anyone else see some messed up logic here? Oh well, Robert Englund, as expected, delivers entertaining quotes and sequences as Freddy, but aside from this the movie has no merit.
Even more awesome in hi definition October 14, 2009
Michael Lynn (Abbeville, Alabama United States)
This was an awesome movie that put together elements from both of these popular movie franchise. If you are a fan of either franchise I strongly represent purchasing this movie. Oh yeah did I mention how great this movie look and sound in hi definition lol
Better than I thought October 12, 2009

I thought this was just a ploy to make money off both these popular properties (Nightmare on Elm street & Friday the 13th), but I watched it and was unexpectedly surprised. I was able to watch the movie in its entirety atleast 3 times. The story was not the best, but the movie did its job by keeping me entertained. There are other flix in this genre that I've watched only once and never decided to watch again. That's one reason why I gave it 4 stars.

 Finally! Now is a Death Match! September 28, 2009
Antonio Pérez (Puerto Rico)
If you're a fan of either of this guys, you should defenetly want to see this. The bluray transfer is similar to the dvd quality and the audio was alright. But this is must have in your bluray-scary-collection.
