Saw Freddy vs. Jason last night & it was worth it!

I was thoroughly amused by the movie and enjoyed it, even if there were plenty of places where the dialogue dragged a bit. They exploited every Nightmare and Friday movie, and the conjunction of the two provided us with an amusing night.

By far the best part of the experience was the opening night crowd! We went to one of the theatres downtown, so the audience was young (and largely non-caucasian). The audience was really into the movie, with cheers when Freddy & Jason first meet to applause at the end of the final fight scene. The hoots from the guys in the audience when the requisite half-naked co-ed gets axed set the stage, but one of the funniest moments was when the girls behind us said, "oooh, that girl gonna get killed" just when, of course, you knew she was gonna get killed.

Best line? I don't think it's a spoiler... Requisite stoner: "Man! That goalie was pissed!"

Of course, the movie went down much better since we had met friends for drinks before the movie! Not high class, but interesting and even provided some interesting points of analysis for us eggheads (questions of sexuality, politics etc.). If you aren't a fan of the movies or the genre, don't bother going, but if you liked all the previous movies and want to see Freddy go up against Jason, by all means go to it on a cheap night!
