MBV was by far the better movie – glad to see it do so well after Jensen’s last movie 10 Inch Hero was never promoted. If you can track that one down it is worth a look – he certainly broke type on that one.

[...] While we’re anticipating the return of Supernatural, let’s take a look back at the Supernatural silverscreen showdown that occured at the beginning of this year. I agree with The TV Addict on this one… Jensen wins. (The TV Addict) [...]

ct: I agree. I think it was a big name of franchise that attract Jared’s manager’s attention. They aimed in fame not a quality and that was their mistake. As for waiting i think they assumed that S4 will be the last and it seemed like a right time to let your name be recognized to choose another project. Considering that all F13 movies aren’t Oscar material in scripts I think they hoped for the movie to gross big. Didn’t happen.

Definitely agree that MBV is the better movie all around.

It didn’t have the same splashy opening weekend numbers as F13 or even a fraction of the promotion, but it definitely proved that it has staying power.

If you check the box office data sites you’ll see that MBV continues to thrive in foreign markets (it’s pushing a $100 mil worldwide) and did extremely well in DVD sales.

Now I have no idea if the main draw was the 3D technology or Ackles’ extremely “devoted” fanbase. I suspect it’s a mix of both.

Great article by the way.

ewan: That shows how decent MBV was: I saw it on DVD without the 3-D effects and still thought it was pretty good.

Asia: It doesn’t take a whole lotta time to read a script anlike Friday the 13th and say, “Oh, man, that’s a pile of crap.” Also, I’d be VERY surprised if the guys don’t have “people” who do that for them. That’s what a manager is for! (And not for nothing, but it’s smarter to take your time and wait for the right project than o just make a movie for the sake of making a movie and having it be a loser!)

They don’t have much time to properly choose the movies they like to do and it’s a wonder they managed to complite filming in that short period of time they had at summer.
But ITA MBV was a lot better and smarter than F13 which was boring fest with atrocious acting.

Bloody Valentine was really cheesy, but the 3D made it worth it. 10 movies down the line the 3D will be boring, but for now it was a novelty.

I completely agree with you that MBV:3D truly did rise above the usual limits of the slasher genre. It actually had an amazing undercurrent of depth and realism, plus Ackles was pretty much brilliant in the ‘twist’ at the end.

As for the F13 remake…I couldn’t even watch it without laughing out loud at some of the atrocious acting skills of the fellow actors that Padalecki had to work with.

As for what genre of movies that I think Ackles and Padalecki should try next….I think Ackles would shine in an old school western and that Padalecki needs to try his hand at a romantic-comedy.

Thanks for the great article. I bought MBV DVD and yup, I think for a slasher, it’s a pretty good flick.

Thanks. I enjoy a good horror flick and I’ll put Valentine on my Netflix queue.
