Hence "best I've ever seen". What are your issues with MoS? Don't be scared, homie. This is a discussion board.

I guess I said that I didn't like how sporadic and jarring the last half was. Very choppy. It seemed patched together. This made it hard for me to appreciate the relationships between the characters. Except Kevin Costner. He was my favorite part of the movie. I love smooth narratives and that's why I love the first hour of Batman Begins.

And as many have already complained about, there was too much metropolis descruction. It made the action sequences kind of blinding. Where were all the dead bodies? Oh, there was none, because there was only Lawrence Fishburne & two other characters in the whole city dodging flying debris. Just little things like that.

And I must admit, I always thought Superman's story was kind of boring.

It really is amazing how slow Jason Voorhees can walk but still remain 10 feet behind sprinting teenagers. And it's even more amazing how stealth his 6.8, bulky frame can be, sneaking up on those kids. You'd think he was a member of the League of Shadows.

He uses a scooter, and worked up his way to a segway in the newer films. He also wears slimming colors to appear smaller.

Jason takes Manhattan? You mean, Jason takes a Boat?

I watched Part VII.

I'd seen all of the movies before, but I bought the entire series a few weeks ago and have been working my way through them.

My favorite has always been part VI.
The most underrated is Jason Goes To Hell - it gets a lot of hate I don't understand, and it's got one of the best endings of all time.
VIII is probably the worst.
Best kill of the series is the frozen face counter smash in Jason X.
