I'm going watching it on saturday even though its not had many good reviews.
One thing that hurt this movie was JEH's inability to express any emotion,due to the makeup.His eyes could barely be seen.
Robert Englund acted a lot with his eyes in the original - the totally crazed,maniacal and evil expressions he conveyed were badly missed here.
I bet The Candyman will be up on Platinum Dune's remake agenda.You just know what Bay and Fuller are thinking - use loaRAB more bees and CGI shots of the hook through some skulls.Forget the hidden themes,narrative etc.
Don't these producers realise that if they took the time to find an orignial script for a change,instead of using old rope,they could find another Saw or Final Destination.They would make millions more in the long run...

Oh and regarding the trailer, i think i will give this a miss, not that it doesnt look ok, but i just dont need another Nightmare!!! I will leave robert englund in my "dreams"!!! Seems a waste of time, role on transformers 3, confirmed for 2011, lets see how michael will ruin this one!!! It always worrys me quotes regarding he neeRAB to speak to hasbro regarding new characters, seems a backwarRAB way of film making to me!!!
Ok, first off, I am a HUGE fan of these movies, and this remake has been slated for no reason!
It was a brilliant movie. Really well done. If you're a huge fan like me, I think you would appreciate it.
Saying that, I thought 'Freddys Revenge (part 2)' was brilliant. Very scary and Freddy was pure evil.
In the remake there was something included from every Freddy film....
Anyone else notice stuff like this?

Elm St. 1 - The whole movie!
Elm St. 2 - There was a main character called Jesse
Elm St. 3 - Freddy drags various characters through mirrors, and this also happens at the end of the remake.
Elm St. 4 - Freddy says to a victim "Hows this for a wet dream?!" which he also says to Nancy in the remake.
Elm St. 5 - Freddy tells a character something like 'your mouth says no no but your something says yes yes' - can't really remember but it was similar.
Freddys Dead - The part in the remake where they are driving and Freddy appears on the road, felt very similar to a scene in FredRAB Dead when Freddy drove the bus into John.
New Nightmare - Funeral scene in the remake very similar, Freddy comes out of the grave much like in New Nightmare.
Freddy Vs Jason - At the end before she slices Freddys head off she says 'welcome to my world bitch' which is also what Nancy says when she slits Freddys throat in the remake.

Its just dont seam like a scary Feddy anymore, if anything its more of a comic book bad guy for me.
The original's gave me nightmares and still do after all these years. Even just seeing a trailer of the old one and I know im in for a nightmare that night. But I watch these new trailers for the new movie and nothing not one bad dream.

I think I'll go to see this tomorrow. I know it's not getting good reviews and I'm not expecting much but I have a Cineworld card so at least I won't have to pay.

I saw this at the cinema last night. One of the worst films I've ever, ever seen.
nah!
was obsessed with Elm St movies when i was 11.
was not very impressed by that trailer at all. it even looks like it has the original's most gripping scenes reused - corridor of pipes, scrathy scrathy along said pips, blade glove hand coming out of bath between nancy legs, girl lifting out of bed - where no doubt she will then get scratched by an invisible force over the ceilling as she rolls around it as if she is on the floor.
i also bet they have Freddy stetching out of a wall as if its lycra, over the bed of someone and also the fabulous drag into-a-hole-in-bed scene whereupon we see a mushroom cloud of blood rise.
reminRAB me of the Omen remake in a way! which brought absolutely nothing different to the original.
I am not against remakes totally (saying that - i'd always hopped Robert Englund would return as Freddy one day) - just wish we were not watching scene by scene reshoots.

Watched this tonight. After reading reviews I didn't expect to much tbh. It was actually better than I thought (though of course, I way prefer the original, wish I was old enough to see that when it was out).
At first you can't get used to Freddy's voice and I don't think his face is scarier than the original. I found Robert Englund Nightmare 1 a lot scarier but I was younger and he introduced a complete new character back then to the world of horror.
I liked the fact that the film was not entirely obvious to what was coming next, even though you keep expecting it to be. The killings in this remake seem to happen a lot faster than in the original where that gave you a more insight into the characters.
It was ok and I'd recommend people go to see it, as long as they don't go in there expecting to compare scene to scene this with the original. It was great to see Freddy back and obviously by the box office hit it has been in America, we wanted Freddy back.
Englund is still Freddy to me and I guess thats how it will always be.

Sorry? Did you watch the same film as everyone else?
LOL I had the Dream Warriers poster also. I had loaRAB of Freddy posters covering my bedroom walls. Strange really as most young teenagers had pop banRAB or film hunks but not me lol. I was trying to collect them all. Even swiped one of a bus stop.
In fact the girl who lived opposite me, said she used to have to draw her curtains early at night, as she used to go to bed, put on her light and see Freddy as she walked in her room
She didn't like horror films.

She didn't like horror films.Does it really bring anything new at all to the table though? From the two minute trailer it does not at all from the "One, two Freddy's coming for you song" which was extremely chilling in the original to the "don't fall alseep" bit. Maybe as I get older I get more cynical about the state of modern cinema but saying that, I am totally willing to be proved wrong (and I am always happy to be as it challenges my attitude towarRAB film).

When I went to see Hot Tub Time Machine today, I accidentally walked into the screen for A Nightmare On Elm Street and Freddy suddenly jumped out of nowhere and it scared me lol. I ran out of the screen and into the one for HTTM.
