"Nightmare on Elm Street" Remake

[ZonoBurk]

I liked it. I've read that people are criticizing their acting. Through most of the film they are supposed to portray being awake for days... how do they expect them to act? Fred (as he's called) is more serious.. though he still cracks a joke every so often. <spoiler>I like the suspense how they lead you to believe that he was inocent.</spoiler> They show more backstory of him. They use the internet to search about "sleep derivation" and it comes up something that looks like Wikipedia (very brief), so it's very 21st century and we learn the reason they go into a dream and don't know it is because of "micro naps". Haley isn't anything like Englund, he did his own thing while brining the scary and sinister Freddy back. :)

And.. it's got a very Nigthmare-ish ending. :D

3.5 out of 5

Pros:

Katie Cassidy is SO HOT!!! :drool:

ALL the actors are actually pretty good/talented IMO. Acting is one thing DOES NOT SUCK!

Very good PQ compared to the Original NOES but that's to be expected anyway.

A few of creepy scenes that had jump out of seat scare.

1-2 Freddy coming for you song is BACK! :D

New Freddy Has cool lines.

Con:

NOT enough NOES music

Less teen get-together. In the original, like a bunch of them are together.

Screentime should be LONGER with MORE beautiful Katie, other kids got killed. Like Asian dude screen time too short.

Not too used to the NEW Freddy face...

Should have more CREEPY alleys

Not enough

Nudity and Sex

:p

I'm not really feeling her hotness.. I mean she does not look that attractive really. I have better looking girls at my school.

Oh man, If you are going to remake a classic: Do it right. They went wrong on so many levels. I thought the cast worked out well, Haley was a good pick to be the successor. The film itself also looked great. They gave the dream sequences a nice realism, without getting really silly like they did in the later sequels.

Where this movie falls completely apart is in the amazingly boring story. They took all the interesting parts of the character, totally ignored them, and just went blood happy. Gone are the great tension building moments. Instead they are replaced by lame "boo! we tried to scare you with quick camera changes and loud sounds"

Sorry Freddy, but you came back in a shiny new package, but someone left the testicles accessory pack out of the box.

1/5

ill pass its not the same as when johnny depp got suck thru the bed

I for one and so glad there wasn't sex and nudity. So old and played out.

Honestly, looking back the Original NOES it's NOT very scary at all, more silly than scary.

What the hell with 70-80s music playing when something supposed to be scary is going on?

alot of people say to avoid. and that's what I'll will do. I'll go download it when it comes out on Blu Ray.

I went to see the movie last night. I am sorry but that movie sucked. NO ONE will ever replace Robert Englund. That dude did an OK job as Freddy, but Robert Englund was the absolute best. It's like that role was written for him and no one else. Jackie Earle Haley tried...and I mean, really tried...but in my book, he was not succesful. He did not convince me. I still miss Englund.

Oh and that ending. What the hell were they thinking about? That ending didn't make any sense (a lot of things didn't make any sense on that film anyways...).

I am sorry...it sucked.

Saw it on Friday.... hated it. Really thought some of the lines were just total crap and the acting was sub-par. Being a huge fan of the original I really wanted to like this movie. And at times during I felt myself enjoying it.. but it ended quickly when someone through out some worthless one-liner. Highly suggested you save your money and wait for a rental.

2.5/5

LOL okay so that settles that then, it's crap. :)

Might just 'rent' it when it comes out.

I think people are overly comparing this with the original.

Personally, the originial is silly too(it was not a masterpiece either, dumb in many own ways) so this remake is not really that bad. People who compare this to the original are gonna be more disappointed than people going in without comparing the two.
