I kinda liked it, as I enjoy almost any horror movie no matter how bad, so I just don't understand the hatred for this movie. Is it because you feel it would be better as a non Friday the 13th movie, was it the over the top,( admittedly stupid) action/plot at the end, or is it something else? Please don't just say it sucked.
shareI might be the only person who didn't think the acting was that bad. Sure, the dialogue in most parts was awful, but I thought the delivery wasn't too bad.
shareI don't "hate" this movie. As outlandish as it is, it's still watchable. I guess you could classify it as one of those "so bad it's good" movies. It's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.
Personally, I think it's a bad Friday the 13th movie, but it's a decent sci-fi horror movie. I actually liked the concept of it. A serial killer frozen and preserved, found hundreds of years later by a group of future "archaeologist" students, who thaws out on the ship and begins killing them. If it wasn't Jason who was the killer, and all the Friday the 13th mythology was left out, I think it would have been better-received.
This movie is BEYOND horrible. Why didn't the movie company or someone get sued, after "Leprechaun in Space" was already done ? Funny as it is, that was more entertaining then this too.

I liked Jason X. I thought it was pretty funny, especially the end when a ship explodes (been awhile). Suddenly Jason emerges from the blast towards the other ship (I think with his machete out). I was dying.
As for the comment about Jason Goes to Hell, if I'm not mistaken, it takes place at Crystal Lake (not the camp, maybe). I can't remember. Did they change the name of the place? Because it took place wherever Jason had supposedly done all his killing...

At least the previous Friday the 13th movies had a gritty look to them. Jason X looks like it belongs on Syfy with Sharknado. Bad sets, cheap effects and bad acting.
shareI don't understand all the hate either. Fans of the series like to act like the films are masterpieces of horror cinema, which they are not. I am a massive fan of the Friday the 13th series and I can admit they are mostly trash. They are like episodes of scooby doo, the same crap again and again. There's nothing wrong with that of course, we all enjoy them for that.
Then you try and do something different and people hate it. I see a lot of fans bitching about part 6, 9 and X for changing too much or poking fun at the series. I LOVE those films for those very reasons. They are all fun, entertaining and ridiculous ways to pass a couple of hours, and Jason X is a fantastic effort. It's crazy, it's gory, it's fun and ridiculous. It has everything I watch these films for in the first place.
If anyone takes any of the movies in the series seriously, they are frickin idiots.
I like this movie a lot. I was among the first of my friends to blast this movie before it came out, but as I sat in the theater watching it, I must admit I was eating my words. This movie was pretty clever in showing just how immortal Jason is. Yes it's ridiculous, but it's a campy horror film. I think it's different and a pretty fun watch.
