Comments: Although the plot is relatively similar to the first film, I've always enjoyed the second installment of the Friday the 13th series. The only part of the film that got on my nerves was Ginny's magical knowledge of Jason. In the bar, she speculates about how Jason lived and how he evolved into a monster. The only point was to tell the audience about his origins, but she would have no idea what he did or how he became the monster. At the end, when she acts like his mother, it's amazing how she speaks exactly like his mother, even though she would have no prior knowledge of these facts. But that's all I'm going to rip on Friday the 13th Part II. The funniest part of the film is seeing how Jason has changed over the years, from the normal-sized man wearing overalls with a sack over his head to a metal-masked behemoth in space. Although the film isn't all that great or original, it's still fun and enjoyable. And now we move into 3D...
