It is what it is, but still good

First I must say I am a fan of the old school Fridays, so I went into this with a grain of salt. New horror movies aren't what they used to be. Obviously, this movie was more sleek, had CW actors, and some of the other traits that typically ruin new horror movies, but that didn't matter as much here because they still had the real star: Jason Voorhees. His trademark brutality was in full effect. His machete swings were more brutal than ever. It was a nice touch that he executed a girl over a fire. It wasn't too complex a kill, but it stepped out of the box just enough to be cool. All in all, I rate it better than the recent Halloween retread. Your only alternatives are chick flicks right now, so go check it out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Both Spielberg and Lucas seemed cursed by their past successes. The latest Indiana Jones fails to hold a candle to the originals. What happens when sky-high expectations meet questionable filmmaking? You get a blah movie like this. The use of CGI is out of control. I watched Harrison Ford get chased by a paper mache boulder before and was more okay with that then the CGI which allows the 60 year-old Indi to execute Jet Li/Matrix style fight scenes. It was not as hard to suspend disbelief with the original films. This film will try your patience and intelligence. Throw in a Cate Blanchett character that is also able to execute super-human moves, and there you have it: a movie that's over the top and will make you lose interest in one of your heroes (Spielberg or Jones).
No, I do not recommend this movie.
