well im 2 weeks late but i gave this movie a shot.......after viewing the film and despite what the critics had to say, the film was pretty good...not as good as the original but i eliminated the thought of having viewed the original and just watched the remake as if it was a original movie...the pacing of the movie wasn't that bad although i wished that they went into more depth and given each of the teenagers a better introduction to freddy in their dreams......Kris's introduction was done well but i wished that more time was given to nancy and the rest of the teenagers so it would keep us interested in what will happen to the teenagers....the film was too straight forward and i could already tell who was going to die or not....the dream atmosphere was a little flat but i guess the makers wanted a realistic approach of what's reality and what's not...a big part that was missing in the film was the glove's origins but hey, that are what sequels are for right?....finally, as far as JEH's performance as freddy goes, he did a good job......very creepy and CREEPY!! he has every trait of a child molester killer that you do not want to see in your dreams....BUT the final scenes between nancy and him was a little soap opera-ish..they should've kept freddy's dialogue at a minimum............overall despite its flaws, good film..not GREAT but good........8.0 for me..................................
