(AP) -- No one really wins in "Freddy vs. Jason," the showdown between horror icons Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees -- except maybe the manufacturers of their trademark red-and-green striped sweater and hockey mask, which prove indestructible.
More marketing gimmick than a film with anything resembling substance or plot, "Freddy vs. Jason" combines elements of both the "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" movies.
The two villains kill everyone in sight before turning their talons -- er, talents -- on each other.
Hong Kong-based horror director Ronny Yu ("Bride of Chucky") fully embraces the familiar horror flick conventions and squeezes them for every possible laugh-out-loud opportunity.
Yuck yuck
The film begins with a curvaceous young woman stripping down to nothing for a late-night skinny dip, then running through the woods barefoot -- so you know she's a goner. Later, another naked girl slips in a puddle of her boyfriend's blood after stepping out of the shower.
In that way, it's similar to the "Scream" series, which itself was a savvy, self-aware send-up of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Friday the 13th" movies.
Monica Keena and Kelly Rowland try to stop the madness.
If wrapping your brain around that funhouse-mirror logic doesn't make you dizzy, then watching blood spew from Freddy and Jason's every orifice -- as well as a few new ones -- surely will.
Freddy (Robert Englund, in the role he originated in 1984's "A Nightmare on Elm Street") is in hell when the movie begins and is incapable of terrorizing children anymore. The adults in town have drugged them to keep them from dreaming, thereby preventing them from becoming his victims.
So Freddy resurrects Jason (played here by longtime stuntman Ken Kirzinger), the machete-wielding madman from over two decades of "Friday the 13th" movies, to rekindle their fear.
But Jason gets a little carried away at a rave and massacres nearly everyone, even after he's been doused in Everclear and set on fire. (Must have been the pounding techno music and the glow sticks that set him off.)
Freddy gets jealous and wants credit for the killings himself, which sets up the eventual, seemingly interminable smackdown.
A new cast of suckers
Getting in their way are Lori (Monica Keena), who now lives at 1428 Elm St., the site of the original killings, and her sassy friend, Kia (Kelly Rowland). Lori's ex-boyfriend, Will (Jason Ritter), and his buddy Mark (Brendan Fletcher), had been placed in a mental hospital (another slasher flick staple) for talking about their nightmares, but escape in hopes of stopping the killing spree.
There's nothing scary or suspenseful here; the most shocking thing is hearing squeaky-clean Rowland of Destiny's Child, in her film debut, repeatedly drop the F-bomb.
To paraphrase badly from "Bootylicious," I don't think Freddy or Jason are ready for this jelly -- but horror flick geeks will eat it up with a spoon.
"Freddy vs. Jason," a New Line Cinema release, is rated R for pervasive strong horror violence/gore, gruesome images, sexuality, drug use and language.
Looks like it could be rated PG for Pure Garbage ;D

LoL, I cant believe the idiocy I'm seeing in this thread...I saw the movie and it wasn't a whack ass cash-cow movie like you retards think (for example: "Halloween Ressurection", "Jason X", etc.)...The movie was dope as hell...Evryone knows all the slasher/horror movies get bad reviews by regular movie critics, but horror movie critics have called this movie a masterpiece, and I agree...I went to see it today in the morning, and the theatre was PACKED...Since when are theatres packed in the morning, especially for horror films? Freddys witty humor combined with his horrifying killing methods are what made "Nightmare On Elm Street" what it is, and that combined with the gruesome kills Jason provides in the film are enough to make this movie a classic horror film we'll never forget...Even though I agree that this movie sets itself up for a part 2, THERE IS A WINNER, and you guys will have to go see it for yourselves if you don't believe me...If you liked the "Nightmare On Elm Street" movies, if you liked the "Friday The 13th" movies, you'll love this movie!...And to be completely honest with you, Kelly Rowland did a pretty damn good job as well...NO, she didn't pull a Busta Rhymes, not by a long shot...The director has some credebility too, so don't judge this movie before you see it for yourself...Whatever. you idiots can keep talking shit about this movie, but the bottom line is, I loved it, and so did everyone else in the theatre...In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing it 10 more times...PeACe
