Summoners Storybook

I watched this movie on Thursday 3rd June. I was really excited to see this movie, and have been waiting for it for a while. Assuch I really wanted to like this movie, but it was not too be.

The only person if note in this movie worthy of mention was JaredPadalecki, of Supernatural fame. He was superb in this movie, apartfrom the fact I kept seeing him as his Supernatural character, maybehe's become typecast to me.

The only part of the movie I reallly liked was the start when it showedJason's mother killing the counselors. This is, in my opinion, was howthe original Friday 13th should have been done. Rather than using awhole movie to show her as the killer.

But this is where the praise ends. Derek Mears was the worst Jason inthe series. He may have looked the part but that was where thesimilarities end. There was so much in there that WAS NOT Jason. Thetwo biggest parts were having Jason running! I mean, Seriously! andhaving him use a bow and arrow. HE'S DEAD!! How the hell can he shoot abow and arrow, let alone accurately!!

Why can't they just leave Jason with the machete or other hand weapons.The absolute worst part was Jason keeping a prisoner in his "hideout!!"I don't even now where to start with that. Since when did Jason have a"hideout", and he would NOT keep a prisoner just because she waswearing a necklace that she picked up, that apparently Jason had a"connection" to. Jason does not have a sentimental attachment toANYONE, besides his mother who is the one who raises him to kill.

Also, the kids who were up there for the weekend/holiday seemed to justbe a crap plot device and did not really seem to be a valid reason thatthey were there.

The only valid reason for someone to be there was Jared's character,who was looking for his sister from the start of the movie, and whojust happens to be the one Jason is keeping hostage. When she finds outhe's nearby, she just happens to now how to pick a heavy duty chainlock, with a piece of wire she pulled from a gps unit! The wire wasnowhere near stirdy enough to be able to unlock that lock!

Above all, this movie pretty much descrated the name friday 13th hadbuilt up for Jason and made him look like a generic human serial killer!

Watch and decide for yourself! But you have been warned.
