Review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) by Kenneth D — 06 Nov 2013
Oh my god this was awful. The movie is boring, copying much from the original and yet nothing from it. This movie is simply boring, way too rushed and way too un-caring about itself.
While the original managed to at least build up some atmosphere and revelations, this one on the other hand simply jumps into explination, lacking any of the things that made the original a classic. Also, what's up with Jackie Earle as Freddy Krueger? His voice sounds like a narrator rather than a killer and plus, he is nothing when compared to Robert Englund. This movie thinks CGI is scary; it never is. This has to be one of the worst remakes I have ever seen. I'm not a big fan of the original to be honest, but I still can't believe how this remake just got everything wrong. It might last an hour and a half, but it surely feels like forever.
Anti-climatic, boring, rushed, stupid as hell and very dishonoring, this remake is nothing but a bad Nightmare.
