Summary: The Movie Sucked...
Review: ...They should not have made anymore sequels after part 9. "JASON X" was the worst movie I have ever seen. I'd rather sit and watch paint dry on the wall. I RATE THIS MOVIE NO STARS.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Let Jason die - please!!
Review: First off, I have toadmit, I was dragged to this movie. But once I settled into my seat, I was ready for a good scare. Halfway into the movie I was still waiting. The sript and the acting were the stuff of straight-to-video. The moive starts out with an interesting concept and a very cool visual style - but once we get Jason unfrozen on the ship, it all goes to hell. Lets' see - in outer space with an android, a strong female lead, a man whose main focus is money and a creature hell-bent on killing everyone. Sounds familiar? Belive me, the formula worked much better in Alien than it does here. Save your money - if you really need to see this, it should be on video and dvd next month.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not exactly a horror movie nowadays
Review: well.. the first half woulda been like normal, but after that it got weird. The first death was really cool, but after that it got pretty bad. umm I'd go to see it again just because Lisa Ryder is in it playing an android. She's awesome and funny in this. This horror movie is made 70's style 400 years in the future. it's pretty cheesy, but you're gonna hear more pathetic laughs then frightened screams this time around.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: the tenth installment
Review: Jason X is a good entry in the f13 series.But what made me give it 4 stars was the stupid humor that was not needed.Its still good because Jason kills like fifty people.He gets the upgrade at the last fifteen minutes, and the virtual scene at camp crystal lake was great.Lexa Doig and Kane Hodder both acted great.It was still definetly better than Jason goes to hell,and it has cool killing scenes.Rated R for strong/graphic horror gore and violence,sexual content, and some nudity.It is about 100 minutes long.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A kick ... movie
Review: I saw this the night after it came out and it was awsome. It wasn't scary but it had a kick ... new jason. Crystal lake is now a research facility to find out how to kill jason. Then they decide to freeze him but some people want money for his body and better reasearch. Tehn jason escapes his high level security chains and goes after a girl and ends up freezing them both for 455 years. Then they kill him and the computer heals and modifies him i wont say how he dies but go see this movie

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So Bad It Wasn't Funny
Review: My expectations going into this movie were simple. I felt that it would be so terrible that i would get agood laugh out of it (much like the Evil Dead trilogy), I was wrong. It just [stank], and i really mean that. It sucked the life out of the movie theater...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pimping Jason
Review: This is an unfortunate and embarrassing attempt to simply cash in on the Friday the 13th name. It resembles a USA "Up All Night" movie such as "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama" much more than it does any of the previous 9 Friday films. There was absolutely no attempt at creating suspense or characters anyone gives a damn about. Jason as a money making prostitute. Now this is a new concept. Jason in space reduces him to nothing more than this. I'm a fan, or at least I was. Jim Issac should never, ever be allowed to direct a horror film again. What a complete and total waste.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great addition to the series!
Review: I'm a big fan of the Friday the 13th series in fact I have all 9 movies on tape and some on DVD. BUt even I wasn't expecting much from Jason X, but I was pleasantly surprised! THis is a VERY good action/horror movie. It starts in 2010 in Crystal Lake where Jason is being held captive and is about to be transported by the Army. Jason escapes but is frozen with a girl in a chamber. THey both are discovered more than 400 years later, by a spaceship of earthlings. Earth 1 is uninhabitable and they are to be transported to Earth 2. THis is great imagination and some very fresh story-telling. As expected Jason thaws out and runs amuck. THe kills here are spectacular! Jason kills one girl by freezing her head and then shattering it!! The directors and producers of this film did a magnificent job in giving new life to this over 20 year old franchise. THey didn't just make another sequel, they wove a great story with some great action and some good old-fashioned stalker horror thrown in. ANd this is after all a Jason film so at the end as a bonus they tie in the Crystal Lake origins to the film. THe ending is really over the top and I won't give it away because its THAT good! GO see this film in the theater if you get a chance, its a great movie for all us old-time Jason fans to get into, lets hope they make more Jason films!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Campy Fun, But Nothing X - Ceptional
Review: He's been stabbed, shot, hung, drowned, axed in the head, set on fire, hacked, and dragged into hell. But, apparently, these were just minor inconveniences for notorious masked murderer Jason Voorhees. He's back in the 10th installment of the "Friday The 13th" films. The first in 9 years. Has it been worth the wait to see good 'ol hockey mask again?. Well, yes and no. I am almost embarrased to be reviewing this. But what the hell. The movie starts off with Jason being cryogenically frozen in some lab, along with a hot scientist(is there any other kind in a horror movie?)played by the beautiful Lexa Doig. Scientists then appear and find the preserved bodies of Rowan and Jason. They bring them back to their spaceship and revive Rowan. She learns that it is now 2455. She has been frozen for over 400 years. And, naturally, Jason is unthawed and comes to his senses. The rest of the film is the same hodepodge of meaningless characters played by drab actors running for their lives in hopes of killing Jason and surviving. Towards the end of the movie, Jason is transformed into "Uber Jason". While this new look was definitley cool looking, it just didn't make it seem like it was Jason. It was too much like something out of "The Terminator". It was nice looking, but it just didn't work. The same could be said for the movie. It looked good. In fact, it looked really good. Surprising for what the movie is and it's modest budget. It just didn't work as much as I would've liked it too. It is silly, cheesy, campy fun, sure, but after a while, one almost wishes for the good old days in the 80's with the normal Jason in the shadows in the woods at Camp Crystal Lake. It's just...well, it's just different. The movie has dozens of one liners that make it more funny than scary or suspenseful. The only thing to make up for that were a few really good kills and some nice looking women. Inventive kills is about the only thing we got to look forward too in these movies. It certainly isn't the story or character development. The acting in this movie is..uh, well, it's a "Friday The 13th" movie. The acting is what you'd expect. Kane Hodder returns for the fourth time as Jason. It is his role. He is still very good as Jason. The best thing to look forward too in this movie is a scene where Jason is back at Camp Crystal Lake with two fetching campers via a virtual reality game. It is a classic scene. Horror director David Cronenberg appears in a cameo. There are too many characters at the beginning and too many deaths that come too fast and too often. It lessens the effect. You see too much of Jason as well. I won't be looking at this movie as anything other than utter stupid entertainment. Of course, you can say the same thing for the other ones in the series as well. I did, however, like the last scene. I'm a child of the 80's slasher movies. These movies are almost like home movies, if you get what I'm saying. That's why I have such a soft spot for typical slasher films like this one. I will give credit to the filmmakers for at least trying to do something different. Different it is. If the series does continue to the reported "Part 13", I hope they avoid this one all together. I enjoyed myself enough I guess, but it's not a film I'll even think of as part of the series. Jason X is nothing X-citing.
