That movie was AWFUL, bore no similarities to any of the original films (with the exception of the line "F U Lucky Charms..."), and before the argument comes up, yes...it was proclaimed by both WWE pictures and the director to be a legitimate reboot to the series...

As a huge Friday the 13th fan, I can say with confidence that Jason Goes To Hell was definitely a black eye to the series, especially due to all the mystical and magical elements they added to the series. In it's defense though, t's been long known that the reason that they decided to go supernatural with Jason's story was because the movie was the first under New Line Cinema, who had just acquired the rights at the time, and that it was initially just supposed to be a 90 minute set-up (or excuse) for his eventual fight with Freddy, which got stuck in production hell for over 10 years because they simply couldn't come up with a story that worked.
