Summary: wonderful!
Review: this film was just great! It was like the first one and ended like the first one. It was about Camp Crystal Lake and a killer (this time it was Jason) and he killed tons of people. It happened so fast. I especially like the ending when Jason chases Chris. Its really good and he lives after he gets hanged. I mean, he lives 7 sequels after this oine as well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Friday The 13th Part 3 ( 3rd Place )
Review: Extreme vicious attacks on unsuspecting campers makes Friday 3 one of the better movies in this series. ( 3rd best over all, behind part 7 & 6.)
This movie represents Jason's first mask and probably the first time he really dies before becoming a walking killing zombie.
Have you noticed in early friday movies Jason actual runs after people but as the movies go up in numbers he walks real slow.
( Probably one of the few things the producers of the series has done right throughout the movies.)
Anyway, this movie is really enjoyable and has lots of gore and violence.
The movie picks up right after part 2.
You can even notice when Jason changed from his hillbilly suit from part 2 in the opening scenes of the movie.
All in all for a movie made in 1983, it was pretty good and much more entertaining than others such as part I,II,V,VIII, and the worst of all part 9 ( Jason Goes To Hell ).
In part 3 the ending is very good as well ( especially when compared to others like part VIII ).

If you like classic horror slasher movies then this one is for you.
One of the better friday movies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The most entertaining one in the series.
Review: A few days later after the strange killing at the new camp. An another camp, which is private place. Now the murderer Jason is hiding there & Attacking one by one at the teenages.

Well, this Sequel was a Bigger Box Office hit than the Sequel and It was Originally Played in Theaters in 3-D!. The Plot does nearly re-play the Plot of the Original but It barely matters. DVD`s has strong anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and Good Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono Sound. The Sequel is a Good slasher fun. Originally Filmed in ArriVision 3-D. Grade:B+.

Summary: Might Come in Handy As a Bookend!!!
Review: Steve Miner's unforgivably repugnant Friday the 13th Part 3 continues the Friday
series' grandly under-whelming tradition of presenting to it's diehard fans
cerebrally devoid stereotypical victims, your usual quota of naive inexperienced
teens coupling unconvincing before the body harvest, massive slaughter brought
to you with NO forethought or intent behind it, mandatory horrifying romantic
subplots in the guise of entertainment, by-the numbers storytelling, and bombastically
moronic massive butchery that made the Vietnam War appear to be a High-School
play by comparison.

This time the story arc changes to Jason Stalks on Farm. Eeh Ie Eehe Ie Oh!!
Isn't that quaintly adorable. Jason gets to decimate the farmers using the same
simplistic techniques he practiced fluidly on the previous movie. During this
"sensitively portrayed moral parable" Jason goes on self-discovery walk where
he kills, kills, kills, and makes hostile conversation with his arsenal. Though

the thought of something original penetrating the strictly moronic fabric of
this film eludes me yet again. The film "does" have it's high points: Jason's
hockey mask does make it's first series appearance in this film, Jason finally
begins to use projectile weapons, he kills an extremely annoying hypochondriac
You finally get to see Jason's true face, and not every character this time
is a sex-craved Porky's reject.

Now matter how many times I see this or any other Friday film, the supposed
"plot" of zombitized mental reject summarily executing everyone in sight somehow doesn't ever impress me. If the thought of watching a low budgeted murder set piece film with masked decomposing anti-hero running amok sounds appetizing.
Go ahead.

As for me I'd rather watch Captain Kangeroo.

Summary: Sequel introduces famous hockey mask and little else.
Review: You can say what you want about their overall quality, but you cannot complain about any lack of continuity between the long running Friday the 13th sequels. The beginning of each film in the series overlaps with the previous entry and thus flows smoothly into the inevitable next chapter. Someone somewhere was doing an excellent job.

Part 3 picks up right at the end of Part 2, with the authorities picking up the bodies of the slaughtered counselors strewn around the new Camp Blood. Meanwhile a group of teens arrive for a weekend of fun at Crystal Lake, obviously no one in the group has been watching television, or listening to the radio, and seen or heard the news reports about the mass murder that has just occured there and the warnings that the suspect(s) may still be in the area. Soon enough night falls and Jason, sporting the late comic relief's hockey mask (and now the killer's trademarked fashion accessory), gets to work rubbing them all out one by one in more or less inventive ways. An energetic retread that benefits somewhat from touches of humor and from being the only film in the series shot in the widescreen format, so seeing it letterboxed is recommended.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The best in the series
Review: Another group of horny teens find themselves stalked by axe-wielding murder Jason. The formula for the series is now becoming annoyingly repetive, but this gory shocker does have a few new surprises of its own (especially Jason's variety of weaponary - the spear gun; oh what a treat!). Debut for Jason's hockey mask. Originally screened in 3D.
This DVD, like the others in the FRIDAY series limits itself to only a trailer, but like the rest has clear and wonderfully bloody picture and a standard but clean Dolby Mono track. If your a fan of the series, you can't go wrong.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Top notch slasher
Review: the first Friday 13th was very dissapointing in my opinion. If you are a fan of Jason, then the best movies are 2, 3, and 4. Jason doesn't even appear in 1 and 5. This movie has a great final scene, in fact the whole last half is outstanding. Jason gets creative with his murders, prepare for the unexpected. Also check out 2 and 4, as they are also original and scary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jason Finally Gets The Hockey Mask!
Review: In my honest opinion, this is the best Friday in the whole series. It takes place right after the events in Part Two, and a new a bunch of teens go camping. They have no idea of the shocking events that happened just a few days ago, and the terrifying events to come. The acting is very well done compared to the other films in this series. Some of the scenes are cheesy, but still great.

The DVD itself is great. I have never seen this film so clear or sharper before until I bought the DVD. On the VHS version, the picture looks very grainy, but on the DVD it looks like it's just been released. If you're a Friday the 13th fan, then I strongly suggest you pick this up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic slasher movie has been SAVED by new DVD
Review: First off, let me start by saying that FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 is one of the strongest and scariest in the series. Along with FINAL CHAPTER and the first one, F13 Part 3 is a classic of the 80's slasher genre. Now for the DVD; Although lacking in extras, F13 Part 3 is still a very good purchase on DVD. Part 3, out of almost ANY Hollywood movie in history, badly needed a new digital transfer and clean-up. All the VHS prints were so incredibly bad that it made it almost IMPOSSIBLE to watch. From fading colors, to blurry images and poor cropping, F13 on VHS was just pitiful. The new DVD makes this movie look like a million bucks. Like it was brand new. Sharp picture, beatiful color, crips sound, this DVD is a God sent, even without the extras. The theatrical trailer is a real treat to watch for any die hard fan. I recommend this DVD 100%.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fady Ghaly's reviews
Review: Now here is where the series goes downhill in deliberation that it was one to have initially been taken seriously, for this one was not at all in the sense that it would have likely wanted to be. The undistinguishing nature of Jason's victims permits consistency to fall by the wayside, thereby indicating the film's status as little more than a senseless thrill-machine. Obviously, it isn't really going to appeal to those outside of the genre. But to those who like things to be shockingly repellent, there are some really intense scenes here, such as the one where Andy's body is split in half lengthwise while walking on his hands. And in spite of what little subplot there was, what little intelligence there was put into the script and what little effort there was put into the performances-as the majority of it was ever so laughable-it is one that manages to be both fun in nature and mean-spirited. It's an interesting little scare-fest that not only grossed out a greater audience than the last two for the usage of three-dimensional graphics but somehow stood as my favorite. Perhaps because this is the one where Jason departs from that somewhat ludicrous-looking bag of his and dons the infamous hockey mask, which-being a highly significant factor-presented a strong visual imagery of him. Also, perhaps because it's more conceptive with regards to the creative events and for the fact that acclaimed director Steve Miner injects it with a lot more atmosphere and tension, for I had completely admired his style of filmmaking toward depictions of menacing lurking presence that could merely be from whom else but his favorite creation. And though the characters in the films aren't always that appealing for the individuals in whom they are in general, these "wild bunch" that were featured in this one were quite hysterical and classical. You, in fact, almost don't want to see them getting hacked apart, for the filmmakers actually manage to have us sympathize for a number of them, some of whom are ones to struggle with their self-image, while others strive to move on with their lives and not let the past hinder with them.
As a conclusion, it's merely fair to say that this installment was purely well-crafted from beginning-to-end. It's a perfect depiction of a summer camp horror movie gone wrong, for the campers ultimately find themselves trapped in a campground where they are rendered helpless.
