    I bought this on DVD just like Part 4, but I still think Part 4 is better. The best about this one was that they cut out the stuff that takes up too much time.

    One of my favourites! I'd say if you only got to watch one Friday the 13th, you should watch this one. It's got the gore, the cheese, and Jason in all his glory.

    The title says it all. Jason Voorhees rises from the grave and returns to his old stomping grounds, Camp Crystal Lake, to pick up where he left off. He's opposed again by Tommy, who is responsible for rising Jason from the grave. A unique entry into the series, the film contains a surprising amount of production value, and professional movie making. The movie also has a surprising amount of respectable acting. Nothing remarkable mind you, but Academy Award caliber compared to the rest of the franchise. Some good laughs and good scares elevate this one to the most mainstream level this series could reach. It also must be said that the female heroine of the movie, Jennifer Cooke, is the best looking girl in the whole series. Yummy.
    Quality kill: A man is literally broken in half.

    This is the one where Horseshack and mush mouthed Thom Matthews revive Jason with lightning and he cause some problems. A better than normal sequel thanks to the humor and less emphasis on the violence & nudity. Watch out for the actor playing the sheriff; he is a hunk of cheese aka he is stinky.

    They're all the same. But that's what makes them so fun to watch. Sure the story makes no sense sequel after sequel after sequel. But they keep the foundation of why everyone wanted to see the first Friday in the first place.

    It's like that old saying:

    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    And just like that Jason is back. This one is my favorite Friday the 13th, reasoning being it has a lot of things that the others don't. First off there Camp Crystal Lake is actually full of kids this time around, the only Friday flick to do so, secondly the secondary characters are actually not stupid as all hell, they are actually good, thirdly its in this one that Jason finally becomes the undead zombie and not just some really strong and durable guy so it makes a hell of a lot more sense why things don't kill him this time around. Plus as an additional bonus this is one of the few Friday The 13th movies that actually falls on Friday The 13th.

    I really liked the homage to Frankenstein by reanimating Jason by lightning in the beginning of this movie. The kills were amped up and more brutally vicious in this movie & that made it especially enjoyable for me. A good addition to the series.

    For some reason this was my Absolute favorite of all the Jason movies.Maybe its because Alice Cooper did the Theme song.

    This one has really grown on me over the years; as far as the Friday flicks go this one injects a hell of a lot more fun into the series.

    Jason Voorhees' single greatest romp through Crystal Lake. He's finally undead (thanks, Tommy) and ready to kick totall ass. It's very rare that a sequel trumps the original, but in case you ever need an example, look to this one.

    This is my favorite of the lot..Tommy Jarvis after his years in rehab for his psychotic breakdowns is back to finally send Jason back to his unholy grave once and for all..Will he succeed or does Jason have other plans!!! Alice Cooper did the soundtrack for this movie!!

    A touch of humour makes it better than regular Friday the 13th offerings, but that really isn't saying much. Has some good gore, but some really bad acting.

    ermn this maybe the best friday the 13th movie but i cannot remember this movie that well because its been ages but this is ok i guess the directors of all of these movies keep the viewers on the edge of your seats throughout these movies because you never know what 2 expect from all of these movies this is ok i guess

    Just exactly the same as the others I've seen, except all of the characters were all over the place and yet Jason managed to be everywhere in an instant without needing a vehicle.
    Still though Jason was as cool as ever. He's definitely one of the most stylish horror villains.
    The two main characters were very annoying. I hoped Jason would get them.
    Loved the credits song, it was awesome.

    Jason is resurrected from the grave via electricity Frankenstein style in this sixth entry in the series. Seems Tommy Jarvis wants to dig up Jason to make sure he's dead...and well, the answer is pretty much obvious. Not taking it's self too seriously this time, part 6 is a lot fun and very bloody.

    There was something special about this entry. It might have been the kills. I really enjoyed this one in particular.

    Jason Lives is one of the best of the series. It returns to the roots of the first three and introduces great new characters. The whole movie in enjoyable from beginning to end.

    This has to be one of the most comical movies in the series, which is sad because the plot wasn't all that bad...not good, but not bad

    Jason lives! A thunder wakes him up and the blood runs again. Grown-up Tommy Jarvis tries to kill him again, helped by the sheriff's daughter and a stunning soundtrack by Alice Cooper. One of the greatest "Jason" sequels, thanks to the very ironic and b-style script, fast action and a renewed "chichi-ahah" camping atmophere.

    Classic Friday the 13th. Wished Jason had killed all these little kids. I think it's actually the less worst Friday the 13th sequel.

    The way Jason comes alive was really bad, but I didn't mind, since I like him. The ending though, it just ruined everything. It's not the usual ending, where Jason does one last attack, before the scene goes to the "resque" scene. I want the old endings back! An also, why didn't he kill any kids? There were 50 or so of them in front of him.

    The sixth installment in a movie series that comes back more often than a genital herpes outbreak. This one is one of my favorites, I like them all but this one stands out, because this is one of the rare ones where a re-occuring character i.e. impressionable Tommy Jarvis returns. Albeit disappointing that they could not get Corey Feldman to play him in this one, but the movie was made 2 years later and somehow Ole tommy went from 15 to 20 something. Worth a look even if you're not into the series.

    Horshack is in this one. That mustachioed community theater cast-off that plays the sherriff? Boy, does he suck.
