An average movie

Since the 2^nd installment was another success at the box-office, of course, they had to continue with this franchise. Well, this movie is usually considered as one of the best sequels in in this franchise and I have to admit that it seemed to be quite promising. Indeed, they managed to bring back Wes Craven as producer and writer, Frank Darabont also did some writing on this movie, they had a decent director (Chuck Russell) and they once again discovered a new actress who would become pretty big in the future (Patricia Arquette).  Their goal with this movie was also to correct some of the non-sense that was displayed in the previous movie like having Freddy Krueger killing people when they were wide awake. So, it all sounded promising but, to be honest, I think it turned to be only slightly superior than its predecessor. First of all, even though it seemed pretty neat that they brought back Heather Langenkamp to this franchise, her acting turned out to be even more cringe-inducing than the first time around. It didn’t help either that, at only 23 years old, she was probably the least convincing therapist I have ever seen.  Eventually, even though the main concept  was not bad and a big improvement on the previous installment,  the whole thing was still really cheesy. To conclude, if you're a big  fan of Freddy Kruger, you will probably enjoy it but otherwise, you'd better pass on this movie.
