Meurtres en 3 dimensions

as one of the first horror movies i ever viewed(and the first friday movie i ever saw!!)it is still my favourite horror movie to date! although the friday movies have taken a battering over the years,being typcast as a typical slasher movie or an immataion of halloween,friday the 13th 3 is reccomended viewing for any horror fan(as are the first 4 movies in the friday series) it starts were part2 leaves off then enter some funky music(hot ice)and the 3-d images and you certainly dont think your watching a friday movie!until the movie starts!grainy and dark adds to the atmosphere as does the excellent sound track(along with the traditional ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma!)then the killing begins!!!this is the one were jason gets his hockey mask,this is the most intense friday and this has the best ending of a friday movie! i strongley recommend that if you have seen any of the friday series this ones a must!or if your just a horror fan in genral then check it out!put in the dvd,dim the lights,grab the pop-corn and join jason in the woods!!!

The third film in the Friday series demonstrates the fact that Jason cannot be dispatched with ease. In fact he seems pretty damned indestructible. There is a group of friends hanging out at a cabin around Crystal Lake, and Jason is not having it. This was originally in 3D, but it works just as well in 2D. You will have to overlook the obvious attempts to make the most of the 3D film though. A very solid entry into the franchise and we get to see Jason claiming his hockey mask.

In "Friday the 13th Part 3: 3-D", Jason has returned again for more teenage slaughter. This time he's targeting some teenagers who are spending the weekend in a summerhouse near Camp Crystal Lake, like he does in almost every sequel that follows this one.

I will say that I haven't seen this movie in it's original 3-D format, I saw it on DVD, so I'm guessing it was much better in 3-D than it is in 2-D. I enjoyed "Friday the 13th Part 2" better than "Part 3". This film does have some slightly suspenseful moments, and the acting is downright awful, which really doesn't matter because this is a "Friday the 13th" sequel. But still, this one didn't work for me.

When I see these movies I don't expect top notch acting. Also some of the killings have horrible effects jobs and they look worse than fake. It has the horror elements in there, but it still isn't nearly as good as Part 2. I think the best thing about this movie is that it was the first of all of the sequels to introduce the infamous "hockey mask", which is now iconic. Not to mention, the original theater release was in 3-D. 5/10.

I remember first viewing this "Friday the 13th" sequel on videotape, and in the beginning I thought it was stupid. But now, after seeing it again on DVD, I have changed my mind about the movie. It isn't that bad.

The film starts with a recap of the last scene from Part 2, where Jason is seen getting up after he is assumed dead. Then the movie begins, with a funky and upbeat 80's background song starting the film. Right after the song ends, Jason begins his killing spree, starting with two unsuspecting store owners, and then moving on to unsuspecting teens at a small farm area...

The thing I like about this movie is the fact that Jason first gets his trademark hockey mask in this movie. The mask is a big improvement over the sack from part 2, and makes Jason look much scarier.

Another good thing about this movie is Dana Kimmell. Although her lines & dialog in the film are somewhat cheesy at some points, her character is very convincing as the teen heroine. And whenever she's frightened, she screams the cutest scream ever. I loved how she screamed in the film; she was cute and funny at the same time!

A bad part of the movie is the fact that the rest of the characters are unlikable. The teens are generally stupid and naive, and the biker gang are very mean-spirited. Those characters are so unlikable that you will really want Jason to kill them all.

Another bad thing: Some viewers might be disappointed that they cannot see the film in its actual 3D format. I myself would have liked to see the movie's 3D effects.

Overall, Dana Kimmell and Jason save the movie from being bad. You have to hear Dana's screams to know how cute she is. And you must watch this movie in order to know how Jason gets his hockey mask.

I give this movie a 7/10.

It took 2 films to get to Jason, 3 films to get to his mask, 6 films to get the camera angles and play on the foreground/background, and 7 films to get to decent music. You have to admire the F13 franchise, it may be slow, dull, and stupid, but at least it's persistent.

To reiterate, the highlight of this film is Jason getting his hockey maks and putting it on. That's it. If we compare it to number two, we get a great ending. If we hold it up to normal standards it's just a plain "eh, right, whatever" ending. But at least it's not some pathetically idiotic BS stunt that would only work to destroy any intimidation Jason might have had. After F13pt2, I'd wouldn't be surprised if shadow puppets could distract the killer.

Of course, this is assuming you can get past the title "F13pt3: 3d" - oh, how incredibly clever. 3 . . . 3D . . . never would have saw that fad coming. Then can you bear to sit through the opening credits with cheesy 3D lettering and godawful music that should have been dead before this film. It's not as bad or annoying as the unbearable crap in Jason Lives, but still very much cringeworthy. Ironic style and even cultural twists are great in music, but not this. God no, not this.

Jason kills, kills some more, then kills some more. You hear the ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ha. Camp Crystal Lake. Lots of victims. Something jumping out of the lake again (wow, didn't see that coming for the third time). All these the wonderful traits are strangely found in every F13 making it pretty much indistiguishable from the other nine making it pretty pointless to watch this one unless you're really bored, are obsessed with horror and have to see 'em all, actually like this trash, absolutely have to see the 15 seconds it takes for Jason to get his hocky mask and put it on. Yeah, that last one's worth 90 minutes of my life and the $1.09 I spent on the rental .. . oy.
