*SPOILERS AHEAD* I saw it the other night I thought it was good, there were a few parts that I didn't like like others have said Freddy coming out of the wall, the original was much more effective the CG just makes it seem fake and takes you out of it imo. When Nancy went into the closet I was like wtf come on, I cant remember someone ever hiding from Freddy in a closet and its the most cleche thing in horror movies. The last thing that bugged me was Freddys death scene as people have said it was to short, cutting off the hand etc. The main problem I had with it when Nancy was cutting his throat it looked just like Freddy Vs Jason and I just thought no give me a break.I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole child molestation aspect of it they really hammered it in, I kind of liked him more as the child killer and implied it in later films. But over all other than some other bits and pieces I thought it was good. Jackie was great as Freddy I was thinking perhaps the makeup didn't lend it self to as much facial movement or expression as maybe Robert had. Although maybe the way the role was meant didn't really lend itself to much or Im just forgetting things. Overall I'm happy with it and looking forward to a sequel.
