This is joint worst along with part 5. Jason does not take Manhattan, he kills some stupid teenage people on a boat. Why is he on the boat? Why don't people seem to care that their friends are being killed? Why don't people run away? Ugh, it?s just very very crap. Nice to get awa...( read more)

The title says it all. You know how bad this movie is going to be just from the title. But the title is a lie. A damn lie. A good portion of this film takes place on the Love Boat. Yes, the Love Boat. Jason kills some people until the ship sinks. He then swims to New York (actual...( read more)

As many have stated before me the taking of Manhattan doesn't happen until late on. It should really be titled Jason on a Boat. The film has some glimpses of Part VI's humour but nothing that great. Jason scaring some punks by taking off his mask being a highlight. It's also odd ...( read more)

Hands down the worst in the entire series. Acting is worse than usual, the direction is boring and unimaginative, the "plot" spends way too much time on the boat and not enough in Manhattan, Jason seems to be capable of teleportation and toxic waste turns Jason back into a little...( read more)

A hilarious horror epic, Jason is priceless. It never gets old to see him punch the head off the cocky teenager Julius. Its a lot more entertaining than one might expect, having a lot more fun with Jason and the way he takes his victims. Kane Hodder is everything that Jason shoul...( read more)

The weakest entry in the franchise, with a very inappropriate title and some bad acting. This should have been titled "Jason on a ship" because that's where Jason spent the majority of the film, while Manhattan was just the place for the slow-moving climax. And the fistfight with...( read more)

November 30, 2006I paid $6 to see this movie when it first came out and it wasn't worth $2! That was an interesting night too, bc a fight had broken out in the theater amongst a shit load a ppl! It spilled out into the hallway & then outside into the street. It pretty much turned into a riot! It was pretty bad...
But as bad as that was it still was better than this movie! This movie sucked!
