Robert L Feb 14, 2026 not as good as the first but still a classic See more Legus B Oct 14, 2025 First Time see it on the big screen See more Roger A @Rogeradams6oh6 14 hrs ago This is a good one. I disagree with all the low ratings. First appearance of Jason!

Once again, the characters don’t know the plot of the movie they’re in until the third act, with it pretty much just following characters around doing random things the entire first half. But what makes this one better, to me, is twofold: 1) I was considerably more entertained with this one, and 2) the characters are better. Though it’s also slow, I found this one to be more enjoyable to watch, with better kills, and to that second point, we actually get Jason here, whose a more imposing figure than his mom was. And because we know from the get-go who the killer is, the kills are better, and it’s easier to follow. So you know, not a drastic improvement or anything, but an improvement nonetheless, in just about every respect.

See more Teddy B @RT90521672 Oct 6, 2026 After a truly unforgivable 7 MINUTE RECAP of the first film (perhaps useful to '80s audiences unaware with the first, but still egregious in the patented time-wasting 'Friday the 13th' department, working overtime through the entire franchise), it kind of just floats around, kicking rocks in purgatory before picking back up in the last 20 minutes. The bits and pieces of Jason's mythology are amusing, but everything else just screams 'we put this together in less than a year', from the unexciting posters and trailers, to the boring scares, to the bloated, lazy middle of the film that tries to justify a script of short film length.
