Freddy vs. Jason is ridiculous, idiotic, high-concept garbage...98 minutes of gratuitous nudity, over-the-top violence, bad dialogue, and stupid teenagers who mostly exist just to die. But what's great about the movie is that it's made by folks who know they are making ridiculous, idiotic, high-concept garbage. Even die-hard fans of the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises have to admit there's no possible way to take this clash-of-horror-titans seriously. Still, this decade-in-development opus was arguably the most anticipated horror film in recent memory, mainly because the idea of taking two modern pop culture icons and sticking them in the same movie is awesome in its simplicity, and more importantly, hasn't been attempted in decades. Since both individual franchises have withered on the vine, I personally appreciate the what-the-hell-let's go-for-it attitude on display here. And truth be told, it's one of the few films released in 2003 which seems hell-bent on pleasing its audience, giving genre fans exactly what they have been waiting so long to see. What's really surprising is the fact that New Line could have simply pumped out yet another generic DVD with minimal extras, but instead took the time and effort to present the film as a double-disc set, absolutely loaded with a ton of informative and fun extras that fans of both franchises will love.
