I say, don't write it off until you see it. Robert apparently has no interest in taking up the role again. Also, the role apparently has few speaking lines so while we're only familiar with Robert's Freddy, the TRUE Freddy to me is the one from Part 1. Dark, evil, and not really a wisecrack and isn't prone to long conversations with his victims. Freddy should STAY that way and the creators of the sequels ruined him. I absolutely HATED the sequels (except New Nightmare) and Robert was just along for the ugly ride. Freddy needs a reboot and a return to the truly evil creep he should have remained. I enjoyed Platinum Dunes' portrayal of Jason and I have complete confidence in their ability to take on these iconic characters. Just my opinion.
