I Love That Paramount Finally Released This In 3-D Granted It Would Have Been Better Had I Had A Better Tv rather Than My 19inch Haha.. Anyway This Picks Up Right Where Part 2 Left Off With A Whole New Set Of Kids Being Stalked And Killed In New Ways. Look Out For Jason's Signature Mask It Makes It's First Appearance In This Movie!!

4/5 Friday the 13th Part 3 3-D (Deluxe Edition) DVD
  by Richard A. Parent (Muskogee, OK, USA)
I'm writing this review in response to many people who have complaints, problems, and/or concerns about the Friday the 13th Part 3 3-D (Deluxe Edition) DVD. I have purchased and watched this dvd a few times now and I don't have any problems with headaches or whatever. I did, however, noticed there were some ghosting and alignment issues throughout the film. It was still enjoyable though. I also want to help people who have seen this dvd and share some helpful tips, if I may. Try watching the 3-D version totally in the dark with no lights on at all in the living room or wherever your standard definition TV and/or HDTV is located in your house. Also, please make sure that is no glare on your tv coming from the outside when it's daylight as I found out that the 3-D version works best viewing it in the dark in my living room and when it's dark outside. I know that many people may already know this information, however, I just want to help those who may not know these helpful tips. I also have several other 3-D movies on dvd and I have watched them in the same manner as described above which still works the best for me. I already know that everybody is different and I hope I've helped some people tonight or in the near future as I'm writing this review. I do have one more gripe though about this "so-called" deluxe edition of the dvd and as many of you already know, I'm talking about the special features. There's none found on the dvd except the original theatrical trailer. What a rip off that Paramount gave to the public! There are bonus materials found on Friday the 13th Part 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 Deluxe Edition DVDs (I have the first 6 D.E. dvds and waiting for Part 7 and 8 D.E. dvd when it's released on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009). Paramount could have put the bonus features that are found on the Blu-Ray Disc copies of the movie on the DVD copies but didn't and to me that's a rip off. And if you want the bonus features really bad enough, they make you shell out more money for the Blu-Ray version of the movie. Once again, Paramount screwed the fans of this series and the public in general. But what can you do? Well I have said what I wanted to say and I will close this review out as it may bore many people. Thank you for reading my review. So have a good night and/or good morning or whenever you're reading this and have a nice tomorrow and so on. Bye.

3/5 Solid 80's slasher sequel, useless DVD re-release.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2YZNRK5I0K13Z I don't know why it is that 3-D looked so good on the big screen in the 80's and I don't know why it went away or if it has even advanced significantly since returning in a big way this past decade since I don't have an Imax theater in my town. What I do know is that I was extremely disappointed when I attempted to watch "Friday the 13th 3-D" in it's original form on my home DVD player. I also don't know why they'd even bother releasing such a thing when the results are so awful. Scratch that. I do know. Having fond memories of 3-D films growing up in the 80's I was intensely curious to see how the format would translate to the small screen, and I'd purchased the first two Friday the 13th films based on their classic status and the cool packaging and new special features. I bought the 3rd on impulse in spite of the extremely conspicuous lack of any special features primarily because I really wanted to see a 3-D film in my home. And that's how they getcha. How they got away with calling this a "Deluxe Edition" is a mystery.

I remember Part 3 as being my favorite Friday and it's still a solid slasher to be sure. The ending is still pretty terrifying and my favorite Jason kill ever is in this film. It's also the very first time Jason Vorhees ever donned his now-iconic hockey mask. So for Slasher fanatics, this is indeed a landmark film. It's too bad that they skimped on the bonus material in favor of a marketing ploy that did little other then tick me off. I'm also not a fan of padding the running time by opening with the entire climax of the last film. It eats up running time and that is all it does. It doesn't even make any sense unless you saw the first two films anyways so why bother?

Anyways, you've got your group of sex-crazed smart-mouthed teenagers, brief shots of gore and brutality, teasing nudity, and of course the echoing "tch-tch-tch ah-ah-ah-ah" that I now wish I'd thought to open the video segment with. Jason fans will enjoy this film as much as ever, but again, don't buy it for the 3-D. I tried watching the film from afar, up close, laying down in front of it, cross-eyed, walking on my hands (not really), and every other way and it just looked like hell any way I tried. Perhaps a larger screen (which would have to be massive) or blu-ray would help, perhaps not. But for some reason the 3-D version of this film is not even a little bit watchable in my house. Too bad. This DVD could have earned another star with some of the cool features like the "Lost Tales From Camp Blood" short films featuring bonus Jason kills, or the interviews and convention footage like the previous two Friday re-releases had, but we get nothing but a broken 3-D version. Screw you too, Paramount.
