(1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1   7/10 "the usual assortment of harried kids, hopeless cops, inadequate parents, creepy dream sequences and highly creative murders"   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel B "There is enough hacking, slashing, blood, and guts for three more Jason movies in this battle."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B+ ""Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" fans... you are going to LOVE this one..."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher "Freddy's incessant wisecracks are so lame and Jason's stolid invulnerability so uninteresting that even the final cage match between the two icons feels like filler."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor 3/4 "A far-better-than-expected, late summer thrill ride...Better than any of the other ten Friday the 13th movies, and places in the upper half of the previous seven-parted Nightmare on Elm Street series."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "More clever than your average Friday the 13th but certainly not as meta as any Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy Vs. Jason basically comes down to just another teen horror movie."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "If you ever saw and enjoyed a Freddy or Jason film, this should be a bloody, grotesque delight."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "Wittier than your average horror movie, smarter than your average horror movie, and much stranger than your average horror movie."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "...[a] chintzy chill session...what you’re gaining are front row seats to a couple of carousing combatants whose streaky cynicism are too watered down for us to care"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "While Krueger and Voorhees may be the combatants here, it's the viewer who loses."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "Good concept, mediocre execution."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Monster-on-monster horror flick is a gory, goofy guilty pleasure far better than the money-mongering idea behind it suggests."   Netflix   James Rocchi 8/10 "If you must make a movie combining two series at which most people would turn up their noses, make it right for the people who wouldn't ... I think they made it right."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 5/10 "I expected more humor, more fun, more action and ultimately, more scares and terror between the two big guys."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo ""Freddy Versus Jason" isn't about acting but reaction, and the cast is more than up to the challenge."   Light Views   John Larsen 2.5/4 "Get your freaks on."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson B- "a showdown that's like an extreme WWF smackdown for the ghoulish set"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1/5 "A formulaic hodge-podge that trades on a certain demographic's affection for the bogeymen of their formative years."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Freddy Vs. Jason is a horror film for people who don't necessarily hate the genre in general but find themselves frustrated and disappointed by it more often than not."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "[Can] one... actually tell the difference between a slasher flick that’s intentionally parodying the genre and one that’s just so steeped clichés that it’s laughable[?]"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "A little less Cliffs notes in the first half, a few more inventive battle scenes between our two heroes, and it might have been something really memorable."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 1/4 "In the battle between Freddy and Jason, it’s the audience who loses."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Other than Freddy, there are no memorable performances, just interchangeable busty, pouty-lipped girls and drunk high school guys who scream and run and get gutted like fish."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "Freddy vs. Jason has a fun, junky spirit to it that is compulsively watchable and when looked at in the right frame of mind, it is a surprisingly satisfying experience."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "It's a cleverly wrapped gift to me and every horror fan like me, and I feel nothing but affection for it."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C "Freddy vs. Jason is absolutely critic-proof: firewalled, fortified and dug in like an Alabama tick."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux "If you can convince a theatre manager or lowly high school corn monkey to let you into the final half hour...for a few bucks, you won't be disappointed. But that's the only part worth seeing."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3/5 "The best bits do eventually overshadow the interminable slow spots, and I'd certainly never be one to dissuade the faithful from seeing these two immortals duke it out on the big screen."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 3/5 "Once they cut to the chase (literally) and start brawling, we get our money’s worth."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 3/4 "A fine post-scream Freddy romp"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 3/10 "Freddy vs. Jason is a pretty awful Nightmare film, but only a mediocre F13 film."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 3/4 "Offers the curiously heady equation of its titular bogeys to some sort of modern holy pantheon."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2.5/4 "With Jason and Freddy at war over the souls of children, this great send-up of the genre is extremely fun and is faithful to the characterizations long-established for these villains."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "No Guts, No Gory: A Conversation with Freddy Vs. Jason's Robert Englund"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 7/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 2.5/4 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 2.5/4 Read review   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1
