Any movie, regardless of it's genre, that has a well written plot, good cinematography, and well executed story structure and characters is a movie worth the price of admission. With that said, Friday The 13th is a movie that should have never been rebooted to theaters, especially without seriously redeveloping it's main character and storyline. While the murder scenes were decently done to an extent, there were no sense of character developement here. The movie's storyline could have been alot more sharper, and more serious in it's dialogue. Unlike previous remakes such as Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where the main character was given a certain sense of being human beings, you were exposed to why and how they became so disfunctional, Jason was not given that depth of developement. And in this remake, Jason feels more like a character that's just there. And when he's not in a kill sequence, you won't be impressed much by his presence. The end will definitely leave you scratching your head and maybe even feel embarassed that you paid your money to see it. This movie could have been much more than what it is. It feels too rushed with too many moments that'll piss you off and make you go "what tha.." throughout the movie. There are those who are going to like, not love, this movie simply because of their anticipation to want to see what Michael Bay and Marcus Nipsel bring to Jason Vorhees, which isn't a whole lot. And there are others who will leave the theater second guessing why they even wasted their time and money. The first two original Friday The 13th movies summed it up alot better than this, and actually still has much more bite than this remake. And in this case it's best to leave well enough alone. I can only hope that with a remake of Nightmare On Elm street (yes it is coming), whoever it falls in the hands to, will not make the same mistakes and misteps as Bay and Nipsel.

I didn't have very high expectations going into the movie but I thought it was actually pretty good. Take a date and you should have a good time.
