Summary: Worth it for Several Choice Jolts
Review: Sure there's no real plot, a lot of the acting is embarrassing and the dialogue will make you cringe, but there are at least five great jolts that had me jumping in my seat. It's probably better than the original only in that there really aren't as many good scares in the predecessor. Incidentally, I remember reading that they actually filmed the double impaling scene but were forced to cut it to get an R rating. I wish Paramount would restore the footage for DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The only Friday sequal worth watching
Review: I'm a big fan of the Friday the 13th movie series but to be honest the only ones i really enjoy are parts 1 and 2. I think this is about as good as a sequal can get. This friday introduces us to jason as the killer. But in this one instead of the trademark hockey mask he wears a burlap bag over his head. In Friday 2 we are introduced to a new batch of camp councelors who set out to open up camp crystal lake again. But one by one they are killed my an angered jason out to avenge his mothers death. I definatly think any horror fan needs to check this one out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jason's first kill
Review: This movie deserves 5 stars. Jason kills for the first time in this movie (Jason has killed more than 106 people in his movies). I liked this movie better than the first. It is a must for Friday the 13th fans, unless you have a DVD player. If you do get the DVD version just for the better quality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST of the series
Review: I'm an avid fan of the entire series! I saw this installment, along with part 1, on tv when I was 12 and have been a horror film fanatic ever since. This movie scared me nearly to death, and even now, at age 27, I still think it's one of the most frightening films I've ever experienced. Admittedly, the story is rather thin, but director Steve Miner makes up for it with enjoyable characters (Amy Steel's "Ginny" remains my favorite "FRIDAY" girl) a dark, threatening atmosphere, and good old fashioned, make you jump and scream out loud scares. The final chase begins an hour in and maintains its tension for the remaining running time (most horror movies seem to only have a 5 minute or less climax). With the emphasis on scaring its viewer, FRIDAY THE 13th, PART 2 is, I strongly believe, one of the best slasher movies made. So there....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CH,CH,CH,HA,HA,HA
Review: I loved the first one and I loved the 2nd one because this is the debute on the main event evil killer himself JASON VOORHEES. the writing,directing and fx were good plus it was in my opinion scary next to the first one it was the best of the series, If you have not seen this movie then rent it or buy it it is worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE friday!
Review: I love slasher movies, but even in my heart I know they are rubbish most of the time. Few movies in the slasher teen genre can actually be considered great, or even crossover. Haloween 1 & 2, Texas Chainsaw Massacre AND this film, Friday the 13th Part 2(Freddy is lame, it's like a friend explaining "This really wierd dream" they had, Chucky is more of a comedy, Pinhead's films have really bad acting).

This film perfectly balances character development with taught suspence. In this film we are not even too sure it is Jason, something which is never questioned in later films. And Kristen Baker, yummy! And there is a slight touch of realism, like when the heroine is so scared she pees herself! Now honestly, what other slasher film has such great minor touches?

If you only watch only one Friday the 13th film, it HAS to be this one, trust me!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great sequel
Review: This is a great sequel for many reasons. First of all, Jason is the killer, and Friday just isn't Friday without our masked friend. Also there is a lot of gore, you feel for the characters for about 5 seconds, and its Friday the 13th.

You can't call yourself a fan of Jason if you missed this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WORTHY SEQUEL TO HORRIBLE, BUT FUN AND CORNY SERIES
Review: JASON MAKES HIS BIG DEBUTE IN THE SEQUEL AS HE GOES ON A KILLING SPREE FOR REVENGE OF HIS MOTHER'S DEATH. CORNY AND FUN AND KEEPS IT'S FAITH TO THE ORIGINAL. ANOTHER RECCOMENDED ONE IN THE SERIES

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my favorite slasher-movie
Review: Starting off with Jason destroying the expectations of the surviving girl from part one to remain alive, this is what a friday movie should be about. The atmosphere is really creepy and the last half hour is a collection of endless jump-effects. Jason's mask makes him looking scarier than he does in the other parts ( at least I think so). What are you waiting for?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An average sequel.......thats all
Review: This installment into the long running Friday the 13th series introduces Jason as the killer. it starts off with the survivor of the first film getting slaughterd with a screwdriver in her apartment. Then after that its basically the first one made over only with a different killer,who wears a pillow case over his head,but we dont find out its Jason until the end of the movie. This movie could have been a lot better but it is just to much like the first one. Just your standard hack and chop sequel,but still worth checking out because it is the first one that has Jason as the murderer. Rated R for Strong violence, nudity and sexual situations
