Jason must stink for miles by now. It’s a miracle he’s still able to surprise-kill anyone at this point.

For me, same is true as with part 6: not the best, not the worst (I think?!). I somewhat liked the ending when Jason’s “face” is revealed and everything explodes. The supernatural hocus-pocus wasn’t that bad either.

Oh, yeah, and I found the very ending hilarious where the one firefighter shows the other where there’s more fire to extinguish – as if that wasn’t obvious.

On to part eight…

🎬 Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

Movie poster for “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives”.

This episode certainly has humour! Jason seems to be surprised by hisown new-found super-strength. And that makes for some funny kills.

It’s mostly fun to watch (if you’re into that stuff). We certainlyalways have an enjoyable evening progressing through this series. Butultimately, it suffers from the same issues most other parts sufferfrom. Not the worst so far, but no the best either.

🎬 The Matrix Reloaded

Movie poster for “The Matrix Reloaded”.
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

Ok, I have much to complain about with this one. This feels like 80% endless action scenes and 20% story. If you’re into those bullet-time, kung-fu, wire-flying, super-CGI, camera-flying scenes, that will be just your thing, I guess. But I found this eye-rollingly boring. This could have been a one-hour film. It’s not like I dislike all of it; there were certainly good scenes – even partly said action scenes! But overall it’s way too long and unsubstantial. It’s even like the story didn’t progress at all in this.

At least Trinity could simply ssh into a computer and disable the emergency power supply of that building with a simple terminal command. Much more realistic than those UIs in their real world.

And it had RATM in the ending credits.
