Which do you guys think is worse, that the last halloween before the remake and it's sequel was essentially Big Brother in Michael Myers's house with a kung-fu Busta Rhymes? Or Jason Voorhees in space ( Freddy Vs Jason doesn't necessarily count because it was a crossover, i'm counting individual ones)

I too hate both movies, but I will go with Resurrection, as it turned Michael Myers into a joke. Jason was already parody of himself by the time Jason X was made.

I think Resurrection was the worst way to end the series.

Not to mention the worst way imaginable to kill off a horror icon. I would have to go with Resurrection as well, to me other that the first 10 minutes there is nothing worth watching about it. Jason X is a horrible movie but at least it, unlike Resurrection, doesn't infuriate me at a mere thought of it.

I actually sat through both of them when they were at the theatre so I feel your pain. Made me kinda want to when they were over.

Halloween Resurrection by a long shot. I at least get some enjoyment while watching Jason X.

Halloween Resurrection , H20 should of been the last Halloween it had a perfect ending for the series. That is my biggest beef with that movie. I'm sure I have a whole angry post about it in the archives of the reviews lol. I also saw both in theaters and was straight pissed off leaving the movie the only time I saw Resurrection. Jason X I had fun with at the movies and initially my first reaction was I liked it more than JGTH and JTM.

I'm surprised I haven't jumped on this topic...
It depends on the context of how I'm looking at the movie. From a general perspective, I have to give it to Jason X. The concept is too much of a fan fiction for my tastes, it doesn't 'feel' like a Friday the 13th (which is bad enough, because the films don't even use that title at this point anymore), and it had a very mediocre ending. Some bits and pieces were tolerable, like the sleeping bag hologram scene, but that is about the only saving grace.
From a public image stand point, as was already mentioned Jason was kind of a joke at this point, it definitely goes to Halloween Resurrection. The film begins promising enough but then wanes for a while, eventually weakening until you get that over the top and sad conclusion. Some moments in the film are all right, like the lighting and some of Michael's stalking stealth moves, but these cannot soften the blows the rest of the film hits you with. It makes Michael sink deeper into parody and, in a way, kills what bit of genuine fright he had about his character. Halloween Resurrection is also one reason I have a hard time accepting musicians in films, unless you're LL Cool J, because, for some reason, that man can act decently. He was the best part of Deep Blue Sea (after Samuel L. Jackson), and he didn't take away from H20.
Now, personally, it depends on my mood. I generally have a harder time sitting through Jason X because of the novelty of it. It became boring very quickly, and it remains very boring. Resurrection, as bad as it is, it has snippets that could fit into the persona and direction the earlier Halloween films had. It was a film that liked to let the bulls out to run, but lacked the ability to pin them back up - it knows how to use Michael Myers, but not how to put him away at the end. The film's concept is okay, not the best by any means, but it goes back to that stalking, knock them off one by one formula, and, to me, that is something Halloween is, and should always be, known for.

I have to get the slight edge to Jason X but that may be only because at least Halloween Resurrection was a direct sequel to the previous film, no matter how bad in turned out to be
Jason X was just some moron (James Isaac) taking the Jason character and completely shitting on it by giving us 91 minutes of ripping off other movies and acting so terrible that it seems at times like they didn't even realize the camera was running
HR is BAD but it at least stuck to the source material (Haddonfield, the Myers house) so it gets a pass in my book
