Just a slam-bang succession of gross-out mutilations, played for giggles.

Reviews for Freddy vs. Jason
This grunge match is far more horrible than horrifying.
08/14/03
Top CriticOnce the novelty wears off, the latest movie feels just like every other -- an unrepentant gorefest with little personality or flavor.
08/14/03
Top CriticIt's more marketing concept than aesthetic, and problems inherent in both series -- like the fact the villains are indestructible -- are only multiplied.
08/14/03
Top CriticA tediously ghastly genre pic.
08/14/03
Fans of the two series will laugh, because the genre is so squarely skewered. Others will wonder what the big deal is, having seen King Kong vs. Godzilla, Mothra vs. Rodan and any number of sitcom weddings.
08/14/03
Top CriticPitting the bad guys against each other merely recycles all the shtick we've seen before.
08/14/03
It is downright depressing to think about all that vigorous cinematic artistry and expertise aimed so low.
08/14/03
Top CriticDoes a decent job of making like the 1980s never ended.
08/14/03
There are far less lively ways to spend a night at the movies.
08/14/03
Top CriticA goofy but occasionally fun novelty that's more enjoyable than it has any right to be.
08/14/03
Top CriticWhile the filmmakers send up the genre's cliches and expected audience empathy with the villains, it still feels like the ludicrous dialogue and one-dimensional characterizations were written by teenagers.
08/14/03
Freddy vs. Jason succeeds as a guilty pleasure.
08/14/03
A horror fan's wet bloodfest with an outrageous story line and plenty of laughs.
08/14/03
Top CriticOther than Freddy, there are no memorable performances, just interchangeable busty, pouty-lipped girls and drunk high school guys who scream and run and get gutted like fish.
08/14/03
It's stupid and slightly insulting to those with more than two brain cells to rub together, but don't tell that to the untold thousands who've been waiting to see this movie for the last seven years.
08/14/03
...people are cut in two, heads severed off and body parts go flying like a steak dinner at your near-by Benni-Hanna's.
08/14/03
One of the few class lines is delivered by a stoner: "That goalie was pissed about something". No doubt that's how fans will be feeling after seeing this.
08/14/03
Good concept, mediocre execution.
08/13/03
Top CriticNo high art here, but Freddy vs. Jason is definitely the rowdy-drunken-party movie of the year.
