Summary: Irrelevent, pointless, might as well not exist!
Review: Being a HUGE fan of the Friday the 13th series, I found this one very boring. It lacks any importance or significance to the other 8 movies. The characters are about as likeable as a zit on your back and have the personality of a wet washcloth. The blood and gore are very satisfying, but overall this movie is just a rehash of Friday the 13th pt. 2, it offers no new twist whatsoever, which is a necessity in a movie series with 9 installments. If you haven't seen all of the Friday movies yet, just skip this one, you will not miss anything, because it simply has no importance whatsoever.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst in the series
Review: I can't believe this movie has an average rating of 4 stars, it is the worst friday the 13th. it seems the makers of this movie concentrated too much on the 3-d aspects(which we can't even see today) and forgot to write a plot

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This Movie Rocks
Review: Only I have To say is ....... This is the best movie in the world the murderes are perfect ( except with the eye ) if you are wondering what friday the 13th movie you want to buy this is the one ( the sequels often sucks ) if you love cool kills then this is the answer chucky,michael myers,hannibal,norman bates,ghostface,freddy krueger,leatherface are just a babys JASON is the god so if you are a horror fan buy the friday the 13th films (exspecially 1,3,6) i would give this movie 100 stars if that were available

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: good enough i guess
Review: friday the 13th part 3 wasnt the worst flick i ever seen but was not great either.this film has its strong parts through its great kills.jason is starting to get a little creative this time around.but i wouldnt count this movie as one of the major sequels in the series.i mean , the lake is green!!!! come on now. it was beatiful crystal clear in all the others , but green in part 3..lol..that was a little stupid..mrs. voorhees apearing in the movie ,(yawn yawn),now where have i seen that scene before?lol.like i said the kills are good,most of em but the characters are corney ,there are some funny parts though.i guess what made this movie so cool was that jason got the mask for the 1st time in THIS one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Even without 3-D Friday 3 stands out.
Review: Probably the only 3-D movie that comes to mind that can still support itself without the 3-D effects. Story begins the day after Part 2 ended, which means this movie couldn't have taken place on Friday the 13th. Nitpicking aside, I find this to be a great entry in the series, as Jason dons his trademark hockey mask for the first time (which of course was taken from a victim), and dispatches vacationers and a few bikers with great relish. Pretty graphic and a few of the murders might make you squirm. The hippie couple are definitely memorable. A good entry in the series, which uses a few nods from the original film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The only one I own
Review: This is a great Jason movie. Jason is still at camp crystal lake.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Friday the 13th Part 3
Review: A continue from Friday the 13th Part 2 but this time Jason finds his hockey mask and as he starts slashing people. You could say that Friday the 13th Part 3 an't no different from the 2nd Friday 13th film in the series. You see during the movie Jason pulls off half of his mask so you would be able to see his face. Friday the 13th Part 3 stands as the same as the other films all but Friday the 13th Part V: The New Begaining. Friday the 13th Part 3 was and always was one of Jason's best horror flicks.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: By far, the WORST in the series!
Review: Generally speaking, I like the "Friday the 13th Series." But this is one chapter I consider an utter flop! The characters are very flat; the biker subplot is an intrusion that makes an already bad movie worse; the effects and gore are so overdone that the movie is more laughable than anything else! If someone wanted to be scared, I would sooner tell them to watch "Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Third Time is Definitely a Charm!
Review: This movie ( perhaps the best in the series except for an uncut part 7 ), establishes Jason as a voyeuristic/sadistic/serial killer/wannabe rapist that seems to be missing in later movies. Most F13 sequels pit Jason as a super-zombie that makes it look all too easy ( especially part 6 where he's basically Power Walking ), but this one shows a bumbling and klutzy Jason who can barely hold his head on his shoulders straight. An amusing as well as creepy movie, this is definitely a movie you should get if you're a Jason fan. And you can't bypass the kickin' techno theme, as well as Jason's dress pants. Get this movie, you won't be sorry.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Widescreen & Chili's uncut death
Review: What I felt before was a quite mediocre entry in the series(speaking relatively, of course), I now feel is one of the most superior. What makes the difference? Widescreen. Steve Miner is a master of the form(see the underrated House or Halloween:H20) and injects this sequel with a lot of atmosphere and tension which was not as evident on previous pan-and-scan video releases of the film. For instance, consider the scene where Chris relays her previous experience with Jason to her boyfriend Rick. On video, it had always appeared as if the couple had just stopped at a random spot in the woods to talk. In widescreen, however, the entire left side of the picture is taken up by the side of a cabin and by a drainpipe spilling water throughout the scene. This one small detail adds a whole other layer to the atmosphere of the scene. You also get to see a lot more of Higgin's Haven and the surrounding woods and lake in widescreen. Also, as previously mentioned, the showdown/chase scene that climaxes this film is amazingly suspenseful, especially for an early 80's slasher sequel. Widescreen allows you to see Jason running up along the side of the barn as Chris enters. Creepy!

One last note about the DVD:

For years, Friday fans have lamented the lost death scene footage excised by the MPAA before the films were released to theaters. Well, apparently someone in the DVD department at Paramount is a fan, for Chili's death scene via firepoker in the Friday 3 DVD is the unrated cut. Wherein previous video versions, there is only a shot of the firepoker exiting her back, in the DVD version, a relatively long sideshot has been inserted showing Jason plunging the firepoker all the way through her and then slightly twisting it. This extra shot is worth the price of the DVD. Hopefully unrated death scenes will show up on future Friday releases also. I'd love to see some of the unrated footage from Friday 6 and 7.
