Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
As bad as Friday the 13th, Part 2 is, it's a work of art in comparison to the rest of the Friday the 13th flicks that came afterward. This installment officially introduced us to Jason Voorhees as the killer (if you remember Drew Barrymore's fatal phone quiz in Scream, you know that the killer in the first Friday the 13th was actually Jason's mother), and made the slicing and dicing even more generic. Survivor Alice is dispatched within the first 10 minutes, and we're left with plucky Ginny (Amy Steel, doing a fairly decent Jamie Lee Curtis impression) to do battle with the monstrous Jason. Ginny's part of a another group of horny teenagers (less intelligent as well as less attractive than their predecessors) who try to resurrect Camp Crystal Lake five years after the initial murders--a pretty mean feat, considering this movie was made only a year after the first one. Being a smarty-pants child-psychology major, Ginny tries to outwit the dim Jason, and at one point dons the bloody and moldy sweater of Jason's late mother (which is more disgusting than any of the killings beforehand) in an attempt to confuse the masked killer. Jason may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but the only one who's going to pull the wool--or in this case, the burlap--over his eyes is Jason himself, who wears a sack with one eyehole throughout the movie to hide his deformed features (he finally found his way to a sporting-goods store and his trademark hockey mask appears in the third installment of the series). Directed by Steve Miner, who also helmed the next Friday the 13th film (in 3-D no less) as well as the more reputable House, Forever Young, and Halloween: H20. --Mark Englehart

Rating:  - this sucks
these extras are pretty lame. i'm not interested in any of this stuff. ...and i don't want to see any of these people modern-day reminiscing about the film. i want everything from 1980-82 (approx) that you can wrap it up with, such as interviews from back then, behind the scenes, the censored footage, deleted scenes... these new extras aren't worth buying this movie for the third time. it's basically the same thing.
and to reinforce the popular viewpoint that r-rated releases of this ... Read More
Rating: - Paramount Cheat The Fans...AGAIN
Once again Paramount cheat the Friday The 13th Fans. This movie has been issued countless times on VHS and DVD now, and every time its the same censored version missing the infamous 54 seconds of graphic bloodletting.
What is the point? Friday the 13th Part 2 is a good sequel but any fan can't deny its like a burger without the meat. Suspense scenes build and build and then the censor deprives us of the pay-off - basically what we've paid to see. The footage excised from Friday The 13th Part 2 ... Read More
Rating:  - Great movie ... mediocre release
Friday the 13th Part 2 is probably the most suspenseful in the never-eneding series of sequels. Unfortunately, because of the controversy Part One received after being released, the sensors were especially hard on this one, and most of the kills have been edited. This is the 3rd release of this movie on DVD, and still it is being offered only in its original R-rated theatrical version. Paramount claims that the cut footage is "lost" but I find that very hard to swallow. It is a very successful film from ... Read More
Rating: - Again?
Oh bless you, Paramount! Yet another theatrical cut of F13 P2 without deleted scenes? I'm just giddy with anticipation. The couple of paltry extras sure make me wanna shell out my hard-earned money for another disc. Forever in your debt...
[Edit: To those fans thinking they'll give up their dollars because this edition is remastered--save your money! If you haven't seen the Fridays on Blu-ray, do so. The upconvert to 1080p is stellar, and makes the movie look new and fresh.]
Rating: - part 2 is a big bloodless bore
boring characters and a horde of bar hopping survivors make part 2 the worst of the first 7 friday films. not to mention its heavily edited content, which leaves the entire film almost completely bloodless with poor cutaways and offscreen kills. amy steel is great but jason really sucks in this one. he's clumsy and goofy and is slowed down by a kick to the groin and a really pathetic psychological trick. i havent been able to make it to the end of part 2 in years and i love these movies. who wouldnt love ...
