This movie just makes me SO mad, start to finish. First of all, it's terrible. Bad writing, bad acting, just bad. Second, no one should be allowed to play Freddy Krueger but Robert Englund...and then to play him SO badly?
Okay, next, is shifting the focus from ONE main character (Nancy), to making her the last character the movie really focuses on, after all the others are killed off...we learn bit and pieces of the story with each character, as an audience, but that doesn't mean the surviving characters get to learn everything until cornering their parents in the dumbest, most idiotic argument I have ever seen (Nancy and her mom).
This should have been left alone. The original franchise is awesome, and should have been left as it was, instead of introducing this piece of garbage into the world with people who look like they are approaching 30 (especially Katie Cassidy, who despite being apparently only 25 looks like she's 30, and her "mom" in this movie looks like her sister, not her mom) playing high school students.
Yes, the movie has some recreations of scenes from the original, which I was glad to see, but in the midst of a terrible, awful movie, it all just made me angrier really. Murders out of order, a horrible Freddy who is just annoying more than anything else. A weak Nancy who is more of an after-thought than the main focus of the movie. Lame, lame, lame. I have seen this twice now, and it just made me even angrier the second time through than it did the first time. I cannot believe time and money was wasted to produce this, or that some people are moronic enough to think this is good, let alone BETTER than the original. This remake is like slapping Wes Craven, Robert Englund, and all the rest of the original cast in the face, repeatedly.
I am never, ever watching this piece of shit again. I love horror movies, but this, aside from everything else, isn't even scary, has none of the charm or wit of the original, and Robert Englund's Freddy scared me silly when I was younger and watching the original movies for the first time (and even for the second and third times!).
