Smoreni Zmaj "Friday the 13th Part 2" begins with the only survivor from the previous film, dreaming a brief overview of the most important moments of this cult horror. This introductory part will not mean much to those who did not watch the first film, while it will only bore those who did. Then follows the film so boring that I barely made myself to see it through. The film itself is not so bad and, if I did not watch the first part, I would probably rate it five out of ten. But since I watched the first movie recently, and this one does not bring anything new, but merely continues pouring sand in the desert, I was terribly bored. Almost identical story with almost identical characters, only with the new cast. This looks more like a remake than a sequel, and making a remake a year after the original does not make much sense.3,5/10

skybrick736 In all fairness to the original Friday the 13th, the enormous success of the franchise really started with the sequel Ft13th Part II. Icon Jason Vorhees makes his first appearance in the sequel and obviously from here on out, Jason goes down into slasher lore as one of the great horror movie characters. Part II is a great film to kick back and collect some 80's nostalgia. However, the film lacks quality writing, has a long-winded recap, a shoddy ode to a Texas Chainsaw Massacre character, and death sequences that are at times poorly executed. Also, Amy Steel, similarly to Adrienne King, didn't showcase a strong screen presence and is not as memorable as other "final girls" in slasher flicks. Aside from its problems, Friday the 13th Part II is an enjoyable film and is followed by a band of horror fans that are a lot more optimistic about the film than I as a viewer.

theterminator-92378 Jason Voorhees first movie with some impressive kills and would show the start of a slasher powerhouse who was more of a bumbling idiot with a sack over his head then a killer who would scare you to death but this was his first outing so it was still good to go back to the basics of slashers. there was a large cast of characters who were all camp councilors in training most notably Ginny the final girl played by Amy Steel her character uses her child psychology against Jason and it becomes important to stop Jason. There was many call backs to the original movie and the intro into the movie is a follow up to the end of the movie and we get to see a special appearance from Alice the final girl from the first movie it was also nice to see the return of MRS Voorhees well her head at least. overall it was an enjoyable movie in the franchise and it comes very close to being as good as the original although it still was different and the start of something amazing.

Sean Lamberger A rather base, derivative sequel to the effective (if ham-fisted) first Friday. It's less bloody but every bit as violent, with a comically ever-present Jason stalking through the shadows in almost every scene (no matter how distant), seeking hapless teenagers to string up for the vaguest of reasons. He's not quite the icon he'd grow into with later installments - no hockey mask, clunky coveralls, a tuft of long brown hair - but he does a fair job of mixing up the arsenal and he's usually bathed in shadows so we can give that a pass. There isn't much to root for in the bland cast of victims, which checks off stereotypes like a politically-correct Saturday morning cartoon. Even at an economical eighty-seven minutes, I felt like we were spending a bit too much time with these shallow, repetitive supporting characters. Special points for sending the wheelchair-bound counselor down a steep flight of stairs with a gaping head wound, though. Redundant and formulaic, rambling and aimless, it's a little too comfortable with aping the original where it could be seeking broader pastures.
