An average movie

Obviously, since  'Nightmare on Elm street' was a success at the box-office, they quickly came up with a sequel. Since I really liked the first installment, I was quite eager to see this sequel but it turned out to be a disappointment. Apparently, it was an even bigger success at the box-office but it has been rightfully criticized ever since its release. Indeed, pretty much everything going from the acting, the directing and the story was seriously average. Above all, they drastically changed the concept with some poor results. First of all, even though the main character of the previous movie did survive, they didn't bring her back which was rather surprising and, instead, they focused on the new people living in the same house but it wasn't in fact a really bad idea. However, this time, they brought a new twist as Freddy Krueger was able to take over this boy so he could commit his murders but this idea had really nothing to do with the original concept. Above all, Krueger was this time even able to kill his victims when they weren't even sleeping at all which completely clashed with the identity of this killer. It was especially weird during the pool scene when he started to kill a whole bunch of teenagers. Anyway, to conclude,  even though it was maybe not the worst installment in this franchise, it was still pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
