Davis P I enjoyed Part 3 in the Friday the 13th film series. I know that it's dumb at times, but you gotta know what these films are going into them, then judge accordingly. I think I liked this one better than part 2, and I for sure liked it better than the first film. The characters were good enough for this type of film, Ginny was a good survivor and star, and I also really liked Rick's character too. Some of the kills were kinda creative, and they weren't like overly disturbing because of how old this is. There are really only two simple things I want in these movies. One: characters that I don't hate, ones I can like enough to watch. Two: when things get going, try to keep my attention and don't be super cliché and dumb. I feel like for the most part this film gave me those two things. Would've been interesting to have seen it in real 3D. 8/10 for Friday the 13th Part III.

Smoreni Zmaj The third installment of the "Friday the 13th" franchise continues to pour sand into desert and doesn't bring anything essentially new. However, it is much better than its predecessor and stands shoulder to shoulder with the first film, and in some aspects it may even be slightly better.6/10

skybrick736 Steve Miner continues to direct the Friday the 13th franchise and follows up with a box office hit Part II, which greatly surpassed his previous sequel Part II. Friday the 13th Part III sticks with the continuity of the first two films but also has to add the long unneeded setup that highlights the ending of the last film. Within ten to fifteen minutes of watching the new characters and hearing the dialogue, its obvious that the route the writers took was a more comic, campier style that wasn't present in Part II. The biggest problem however with Part III is the characters, the biker gang was really shoehorned for little reason but to die and there are a handful of annoying characters, especially David Katims's role. Friday the 13th Part III has some entertainment value to it, but when it boils down the quality there are definitely better options out there.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Friday The 13th Part III (1982)' recycles the same plot seen in the prior two titles almost verbatim, except this time it's even less connected to the 'Camp Crystal Lake' mythos than before, with Jason just coincidentally coming across a bunch of holidaying teenagers and killing them all for no clear reason... in 3D. It is actually pretty boring for most of the run-time, which is dedicated to trying to make you care for the hilariously unlikable and underdeveloped characters - not to mention delivering an absurd amount of false jump scares. These false frights even continue when Jason - who is bigger in stature and generally more menacing, even if his movements are still a little oafish and his unmasked mug is hard to take seriously (it's certainly not scary, by any stretch) - starts his inevitable killing spree. This is actually allowed a little more breathing room here than in the second part but still doesn't reach the nastiness of the original, but luckily the final confrontation saves this piece from being a total waste of time as it's perhaps the best segment of all three films so far, with the central character actually using her wits and legitimate weaponry to damage her persistent pursuer a decent amount. It's genuinely tense and exciting, for the most part, and a great note on which to end. 5/10
