Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

La mejor de todas, personajes bastante simpáticos, un Jason mas violento que nunca y el número de muertes es el más alto de toda la saga.

This has possibly the best opening to any film ever, it is so epic yet so ridiculous and is there to try and save the disaster of the last film. I have to query the timeline, within 2 real world years about 15 film years have gone by since Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984). After the great opening it does degrade into pretty forgettable nonsense with an especially low point being the paintball massacre. The triple machete kill was so pointless, why even bother including it? If it had been gory then I would see the point. The acting is dire from too many (but not all) of the cast, again especially the paintball fodder cannot act. I hate to keep going back to this issue but they decided to release it without all the gore, they could have done two versions if they wanted to appease the censors in a certain region. Why was the drunken caretaker’s death so lacking gore as well at the double machete kill right after? This film suffers so much from this issue. The core concept is near perfect, teenaged fodder away from home ruined by censorship. It deserves a gory remake. The final act is great, lots happening and a mostly serious tone that is still fun. There are so many great references to earlier films in the series like the hands coming forward as he wakes and the finale on the boat (but it’s done so much better here). By the sixth Saw (2004) film the quality was consistently bad, this is a better and more varied series overall.

"Some folks have a strange idea of entertainment" - gravedigger with a high school diploma who deserves his job. The continuity is at an all time low here but probably for the best, Tommy is a completely different person and character but in a much more watchable way. Lol at the James bond intro for Jason and the smiley face tree. Getting a little wackier but it was much needed.

The performances for the most part was ok, i appreciate the film for not repeating the same story again like the first four, and i actually legit really like the first 30 minutes of the film but then after that the rest of the film became not horrible but more sillier and stupider not in the good way, and it also became quite boring, so overall Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives cannot continue to what i've been hoping a new fresh page for Friday The 13th franchise because of the freshness of A New Beginning and the result is a mixed bag but not completely horrible.

After a lukewarm response to the franchise's new, Vorhees-free direction, the studio mandated that Jason somehow return from the grave in time for this ridiculous slasher sequel. FYI: repeated lightning strikes (and a conveniently-placed hockey mask) are enough to convert a rotting, maggot-riddled, decade-old corpse back into a shambling, menacing killer. I can't decide if it's genuinely this stupid or if the series has finally become self-aware enough to poke fun at itself. Either way, it's a swing and a miss. Beyond said resurrection and the victims' frenzied scramble to isolate themselves in the darkness and await a swift judgment, there's nothing to this plot. Just a bunch of random kills, pointlessly short ones at that, with the usual assortment of paper-thin caricatures and a grab bag of genre tropes. The entire film is literally explained in full during the bad, two-minute long Alice Cooper song that accompanies the closing credits. Tommy, the only recurring support character to last for three films, has been recast for the third time and now plays something of a bumbling charlatan, spouting mystic wisdom from the depths of nowhere. Naturally, that's accepted as gospel and provides our only means for an escape from this madness. Typical of the series, Jason Lives is pitifully acted (apart from new player David Kagen, who struggles to bring a dash of vigor to his watery role as the town sheriff), awkwardly executed and translucently obvious. The return to familiar territory provides a very mild improvement over the stinky fifth chapter, but that's not really a compliment.
