...but I am rating it high for refraining from sex and nudity,something that most horror movies give in to all too easily. It wasn't bad. Just not suspenseful and although I like other work of Jackie Earle, freddy's look and dialogue pretty much made me laugh,not the clever humor from the original,more like a 5th grader gave him a last minute line. It would have been awesome if they'd expanded on the micro nap idea. Also,the mom....what?.....pitiful part and actress.Kyle Gallner did ok,but much better in Haunting in Conn. Will spend money once more,as I love supporting movies that use story instead of gratuitous skin and sex.

Watching as many horror films as I have in the past I go to these movies trying to keep an open mind. This latest reboot of a franchise could stand on it's own if one has never seen the other movies. Where as this story takes a slight spin from the original story arc it tries to make it more beleiveable. You want everything that is happening to happen to the right people. The "pop's are well timed but become expected after a while. The throw backs to the original movie make a fan such as myself able to sit through it and come out not feeling cheated. As you can tell there is a MAJOR downside to this. Line delivery. None of the actors were truelly inspiring. They are so ground into the mundane in this attempt to make the movie completely believable that one loses intrest or at times laughs when your not supposed to. Freddy's condition comes off as angry not evil.when he blames the kids and not the parents. See this movie but don't expect to be impressed. Robert England is king!

My major problem with this version and the only comparison between the original is the lack of suspense. Suspense is created when the viewer actually cares about the outcome for the protaganist. In this version I could not care less what happened to Nancy. The acting was stale and left me wanting to carfe what happened next, but there was no way. Besides Quentin, I did not care who got butchered. My other problem is Jackie. I have respect for him and this role did not match his talent in my opinion. He just seemed to be going through the motions. I guess an upside would be the change in direction of the story. at least it wasn't a complete scene by scene thief of the original. Sorry Craven, I think you got robbed.

This movie was THE WORST!!! It looked like it was going to be stupid but me and my family opted to see it anyway (for nostalgic reasons). The plot>>>DUMB, the horror/GORE factor>>>0000!!! Bad acting. Don't waste 1hr & 1/2 of your life going to see it. It isnt even worth being purchased or watched on bootleg. By the way : This FREDDY actor was WACK!!!

It was (ok). Wes Cravens was better and No one can beat Robert England as Freddy! No Kids should not go see this movie..
