Friday the 13th Part 2 Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Julian R. White Well, I have to hand it to them, this one captured my attention a lot more than the original film. While it's quite obvious they didn't necessarily plan it as much, the use of abstract craziness makes it a lot more watchable. I noticed in one scene, a woman's throat is cut with the back of the machete. That was funny, seeing as that side of a machete isn't sharp. There was also a weird scene where a woman is hiding from Jason under a bed, and begins urinating for..seemingly no reason other than the fact she sees a rat under the bed with her and may be frightened by it. I'm not a big fan of rats either, but to begin peeing on myself out of the blue seems a bit much. Overall though it was definitely a watchable and enjoyable movie. It makes me feel a bit better about watching the rest of these in the future.
simonconnolly72-467-863881 The film suffers from 2 major flaws. 1. complete lack of logic and coherency. 2. A plodding plot which just re-hashes the first movie but with less pace and tensionThere's no point going into detail but ending scene makes no sense at all and what Jason is and how he came to be makes no sense at all. Terrible storytelling with a complete disregard to plot, story or characters.
Platypuschow I'm currently binge watching the Friday 13th franchise as up until now I'd only ever seen the last two films. I was astounded how generic and lifeless the first movie was and this sequel isn't far off.Here in Jason Voorhees's debut before he finds his iconic mask he is remarkably bad. What I mean by that is he's a bumbling incompetent fool and a shell of what he is destined to become. A couple of scenes near the end of the film are almost comical because of how bad he is at being a killer.With mostly cutaway deaths, very thin storyline and little to set it apart from every other camp slasher film I'm starting to wonder how this franchise reached the pinnacle it did as I'm 2 films in and not impressed in the slightest.The Good: Follows directly on from the original Well cast The Bad:Jason really used to suck! Highly generic stuff Things I Learnt From This Movie: A person cannot say "Hey you guys" without me thinking of the Goonies Jason Voorhees weakness is his balls, who knew!?
Stevieboy666 Set 5 years after the (superior) original Jason makes his debut as Crystal Lake killer, taking over from his dead Mum, who's decapitated head sits in a sort of shrine in his woodland shack. Viewers will have to wait until part 3 for him to don his iconic hockey mask. Like the first movie part 2 benefits greatly from Harry Manfredini's soundtrack. The pace of the film & nudity have also been turned up a notch. However, 48 seconds of gore & violence were removed at the request of the MPAA, so sadly the gore is down from the original (Mrs Vorhee's beheading is thankfully repeated in all it's glory). The film does also have a few gaping plot holes - how did Jason survive all this time? How did he track down the Final Girl from the original? However, at the end of the day this is pretty much the perfect stalk-and-slash movie - if only we could get those 48 seconds back!!
