    i was pretty excited for it, then i saw it, and wanted to hang myself. But apparently most people can agree that the f13 remake was decent, and i can also agree with that, i need to re watch it soon, havent since the theaters!

    think about the possibilities, and the plot twists.

    freddy crawls in the dark, then jump on nancy, shen turns areound and BAM! haley wearing a female wig with a grin on his face. that would scare shitless robert englund himself

We don't need to spend the majority of the movie trying to figure out something we already know. I think thats what worked with the Friday the 13th remake. They didn't spend a hell of a lot of time on the mystery that we already knew the answer too. And it bugged me how every single dream started out like a dream. You knew when they were in reality and when they weren't everytime. That always kinda bugged me.

    If they made another one I'd watch it, and I actually think it should be 3D. Nightmare on Elm Street is something that could really benefit from the newer 3D technology if it was done right because of all the dream sequences. Oh and the deaths, they pissed me off too. In the original we get this really fucked up scene where a girl is dragged all over the ceiling and walls being brutally murdered and its pretty disturbing. In the new one? That scene goes by real fast. Oh my god he cut me I.......dead. I was excited to find out there was this entire class of people he was gonna go after and then what? we find out onlin they're all already dead? So we can spend more time on the whose freddy mystery? Lame. I did however like the "micro naps" being added in. That worked
    Didn't work with Freddy's Dead... BTW this movie was terrible.

    I didn't for care this flick at all... it just didn't really have anything going for it.... The fact that I really can't pick out a single memorable moment from the flick just kinda shows how lackluster a flick it was. I can usually pick out at least one or two little snippets from a flick that I thought were cool.. this flick.. nope...

    Movie was a big bore fest.

    Oddly enough. I felt like Platinum Dunes treated Jason and Leatherface the right way. Less is more, stick to basics. With NOES, I think they played it too conservative to the point where all the sequels say for 6 did a better job of changing things up.

    yeah that was really bad too. I found it stupid that they always said the one thing they wish they could have changed about the original was the twist ending because it didnt make any sense. And what do they do this time? same thing.

    yea i really think whoever said it earlier hit the nail on the head, Freddy is in dreamworld, he's limitless, but he chooses to stay boring and uncreative?

    it was just a really boring boring movie.

    I thought that it was almost identical to the original. It was just missing the suspense, mystery, groundbreaking special effects, well-cast lead and simplistic storyline (so as not to detract from the overall scariness by conveying too much information to an audience who really just wants blood, guts and jumpy scenes).
    I thought it would be really shit and I was proven wrong - it was much worse than shit. It was anal discharge with worms and blood in it.

    Could have been a lot better than it was. Missed a lot of opportunities to explore interesting things, particularly the idea of micro-naps. I thought that was a really cool concept that they did pretty much nothing with.

    I am a HUGE fan of the original and I adore Robert Englund, so I went into this flick with low expectations.

    What I liked: Two out of the four main teens: Chris (Katie Cassidy) and Quentin (Kyle Gallner) - they were believable and relatable, oh and not complete idiots. I thought Jackie Earle Haley did the character of Freddy justice - he had the body language down and was very creepy. I liked the idea of the micro naps as well and the idea that if they stay awake too long eventually they will go into a coma - both should have been explored more thoroughly.

    What I hated: The new NANCY!! They turned her into this mousy, weak, depressing emo chick. She was so bland and annoying, I wanted her taken out. They shouldn't have even named her Nancy, she is an insult to the original character. Freddy's dialogue could have been a bit more creative and fun. It didn't seem Freddy-like to me, and I'm referring to the first film, before all the one-liners became a natural part of his character. However, that's not Jackie's fault, that's the fault of the writers. The dream sequences could have been a little more creative as well. *Possible Spoiler* I also hated how the ending ripped off Freddy Vs Jason.

    Overall: I'd give it a 5 or 6/10. I didn't hate it, but there is much room for improvement. It was an average film, I've seen a lot worse.

    On the other hand, I wasn't a big fan of the Friday the 13th remake. I don't like a fast, running Jason - who happens to have a house equipped with electricity in the backwoods that happens to go unnoticed. A lot of the kills were too fast for me as well, and some seemed out of character to me. It seemed to me that it was playing on all of the cliches that the series is known for and exploiting them, rather than working on a decent story with semi-likable characters. I don't know, wasn't my taste.

    I liked it. I expected to hate it, mainly because I didn't like the original in the first place. I liked that they made him look like a real burn victim and Freddy wasn't acting all limitless in the original any more so than in the remake. It wasn't until the POS sequels that he went all super-dream power. Sorry, but for me this was much better than the original. My only real problem with it was some unnecessary CGI - WTF use CGI to have Freddy come out of the wall, it looked terrible and was so well done in the original. And the original Nancy was a horrible actress - almost all her lines were monotone and/or forced. Just my humble opinion.

    It was BORING. Saw it in theaters was very disappointed. This remake compared to Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th wins. I want to watch it again to make sure I wasn't being too harsh the first time I watched it. But I'm pretty sure that my opinion won't change.
