Ironic that geek dude says this doesn't have the right to call itself a "Friday the 13th movie" when it doesn't even have "Friday the 13th" in the title! So you're all good there. But hey, it's trying to do something different and refreshing apart from the typical camp setting and Jason hunting people down with a machete. Part 8 took us in that step taking us away from Crystal Lake and this does it further doing more than just a camp setting story. It also adds to the lore to explain the weird stuff this series has brought to us over the years like how Jason goes from a boy to a man (assuming Alice's dream was real) in such a short time, how a Jason was so superhuman in Part 4 to survive an ax to the head and crush people's heads with his hands, how a simple lightning bolt could resurrect him in Part 6, so all of this needed to be explained and the story in this movie helps with that. I just wish they were able to provide more continuity ties to the others like having Tommy Jarvis in the mix, but he wasn't allowed to be used because only material from the original could be used. No, Tommy being involved here wouldn't have "muddied" anything because Tommy didn't actually defeat Jason in Part 6 and as a result, I don't agree Tommy's saga ended. It only seem that way because we see him in a trio of movies back-to-back, but the series didn't end by Part 6 and Jason was always set to come back from his demise in that movie. Tommy coming back to defeat Jason FOR GOOD here and know more on how to truly beat him outside of just dumping him in the bottom of a lake would have been phenomenal and truly close his arc. But I swear if New Line couldn't get the rights to use things from any of the movies, I wouldn't have bothered even making a sequel at all. The ending with Freddy made no sense because how he is able to just come up from the ground and he's suppose to be in Hell? Weird, and to set up a crossover when this is suppose to be the END of Jason (only to bring him back alive and well in potential crossover) was also weird. Just a bittersweet turn of events this series had by with this movie. The opening to the 2009 F13 "remake" is also twenty minutes long, not thirty. A thirty-minute-long opening would be TOO long.
