Friday the 13th 3 - This movie sucks. None of the characters have any sort of development and their acting is down right atrocious. It's like they just offered people they saw walking down the street a role in this movie because they didn't have the time or money to actually hire actors. The back story of Chris makes no sense because Jason does not have hair even though he had it just a day or two ago from the incident of 2 (even though he seems to have lost it again in the matter of 12 hours). Granted, it was nice that they wanted to do some type of back story, but the lack of any acting skills on the main character makes it hard to believe. The worst part is the staff seemed to prefer putting in as many 3D gimmicks as possible rather than write a good movie because the plot is just awful. Not only that, but the three bikers and the married couple at the beginning served no purpose other than for someone to say, "Yes, we now have a higher body count than before." Sure, Jason is a lot better in this movie than the last one, but still, for someone who had a machete sliced into his shoulder a few hours ago he seemed to have healed quite quickly. And now he gets an axe to the face that will not be present later. Overall, I give this movie a 4/10 stars.
RZ Halloween II - Well I'm not really sure where to begin, as this movie does some really great things, but at the same time, it does so much wrong. First off, I will say that the movie was not as bad as I initially thought it was last year. It does have an interesting premise of showing Laurie's life after Michael and how messed up she is from it. Unfortunately, this movie really should have been called Hoboween as Michael is just that, a hobo. I also do not like how they have him making grunt sounds whenever he kills someone or has him talk. Another issue is the timeline is all messed up. In the first one, it says 17 years have passed after Michael's mom killed herself but now it says 15. That just does not make sense. Nor doe this new kid even pull off young Michael. His mannerisms are completely different from the last kid and he does not even try to act messed up. He is just there. Nevertheless, the biggest problem with this movie is that it is just way too damn long. There was no reason for it to be 2 hours when 90 minutes would have just been fine. In fact, if they were to cut out every scene with Sheri Moon in it, along with the pointless kill run at the Red Rabbit (which for some reason I thought had Michael setting the place on fire), that would probably fix all of the movie's pacing issues. Other than that, this movie is still terrible, but it could be worse. As such, I'm going to give it a 2/10 because it is just slightly better than Resurrection, but Michael has been humanized way too much to give it anything higher.
Friday the 13th 4 - Now this one is great. Yeah, a lot of the characters are still there just to die, but there is a great amount of development with some of them. Not to mention the Trish and Tommy are the best characters to be featured in the series thus far. The story is well told for what it is and I liked that they have a character who is looking to get revenge for his sister's death at the hands of Jason from one of the previous movies. Another thing I like is this is probably the bests version of Jason on screen as he is just oozing with awesomesauce. I love that he still has the bruise from the axe to the face (even though I wonder how a machete to the face can kill him when an axe couldn't) and he just looked like a threat to everyone. Another aspect I enjoyed is that not everyone was killed on camera, but I really love the creativity in showing the shadow of the one twin being killed instead of just showing her die. It feels like the filmakers went above and beyond what was expected when it came to the deaths. This is a solid entry in the series and if I recall correctly from the other movies, this is the best one in the franchise. I give it a 7.5/10.
