Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Youtubetgw — 10 Sep 2015

I felt it was unnecessary when they tried WAY TO HARD to reboot the story of the first movie done by Wes Craven. by "too hard" I mean they try to use the same story but try to make it different by turning the Springwood Slasher into a Child molester which I could easily see pissed off a bunch of fans of the original films. Jackie Earle Haley did anAMAZING job acting as Freddy Krueger, though he didn't have the smart ass one liners like Robert England's Freddy Krueger. The film changes from one to the other one the first cattiness gets killed off you swap off to Nancy who is boring like a junkie who's constantly stone throughout the entire film. they should of had a completely different and original story continuing the Trilogy instead of just starting over with this and this is a reboot. I heard that Jackie Earle Haley signed on to do three movies as Freddy Krueger, not sure if it's three movies after this one or three including this one but IF they do make more they better try a new story instead of rebooting the old stories instead of modernize them.

The dream sequences were the BIGGEST FAIL! It just look like they were just being teleported instead of having nightmares, if we were going to copy and "Modernize" the story of the first movie trying to make things interesting instead of taking something from the old movie and "changing it" Example: both movies that are squishy floors that turned into goo but in this remake it wasn't white petals on the stairs that turn into what looks like mashed potatoes, both movies had Freddy's face being pushed out of the wall towards Nancy, movies had the blonde chick die the EXACT SAME WAY! Chris is pretty much Christina gray (Tina) from the first movie by Wes Craven.
