Friday the 13th: Part 2 : Garbage film that jumped the shark immediately!

Garbage film that jumped the shark immediately!

Wow, what a piece of garbage!

This film jumped the shark immediately!

The original clearly establishes Jason as an undead ghoul. Jason died when he was a young boy in the 1950s, and then after death, he became undead, and therefore he remained at the same size and age until the 1980s - and he also would have continued to remain at that same size and age forever. That is because undead ghouls do not ever age and/or "grow up."

Ergo, this movie's statements like, "He'd be all grown up now" is a ludicrous non-sequitur that makes no sense and a huge plothole.

Equally terrible is this movie's representation of Jason as slightly-deformed but otherwise-normal KKK redneck hick. That is not scary in the least bit. It's plays like an unintentional comedy that isn't even funny.

The only good thing about this film is its representation of Jason's shrine to his mother's head. Everything else about it sucks horribly!

6.1 is a ridiculously high rating. 2.3 would be more accurate.

F13 Pt 2 is definitely up there on the suspension-of-disbelief meter, no question about it, but it remains my favorite installment. Not only does it feature my favorite incarnation of Jason, but Ginny is the final girl nearest and dearest to my heart. The "early 80s-ness" of Pt 2 also is appealing.

Re: Garbage film that jumped the shark immediately!

Plot holes and illogic are a commonality in this franchise which is why many like you despise Friday the 13th's sequels' reasons to exist. But they do and many like them in spite of their many problems. It comes down to whether or not you can tolerate the jumping of the shark and the hellspawn created from it.

Re: Garbage film that jumped the shark immediately!

I like this movie and most of the subsequent films, but this part always bothers me too. The audience is told the events at the end of part 1 are a dream sequence. Fine, but what exactly is Jason in parts 2-4, undead or a live person? If he actually survived the drowning and is now a man in his 20s/30s, why did his mother sabotage the camp for 20 years following?

Years ago I had too much time on my hands and decided Ms Vorhees was suffering from schizophrenia and other disorders and after Jason nearly drowned she simply kept him hidden away in the shack.

Horror movies do nothing but promote Satanism and lead to liberal impure thoughts anyway so I never watch them. I know that is true because my minister told me that when I was a kid.

God gave us the ability to make horror films - If God wanted us to fly, he would had gave us wings....
