Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

bladexz95 I don't get it. How did the kids fall asleep while doing important things like swimming or walking? At a funeral? Why would Freddy all of a sudden be a killer when he was simply a child molester before? If he was coming back to haunt them and didn't kill anyone before, why would he kill anyone now? Wouldn't he just feel them up a bit? And how did the parents make the kids forget everything? Yet, almost all of them live in the exact same neighborhood where they grew up? All of these horrible plot holes and convenient tactics just scream lazy writing. Don't they workshop this stuff before they submit it for finals? They broke their own rules repeatedly with the whole hallucination/micro sleep stuff they did, by taking stuff out of the dreams, and on top of that, the kids did weird things that normal kids probably would or wouldn't do. For example, the kids knew the parents knew about Freddy eventually, but why did none of them mention the said dreams they were having? Poorly written characters and dialogue on top of this crap sundae; where the teenagers would solo it out instead of staying together to keep each other awake, and a lack of empathy towards the victims, as they were mostly boring cannon fodder for Freddy's claws. None of the characters interacted all that much, and they didn't seem to care all that much when the others died.Also, the cliche usage of jump scares, the wooden acting, the boring protagonist and antagonist, and the complete copycat massacre scenes of the first film. I guess it's hard to be original in Hollywood.

Ilikehorrormovies This is the weakest remake from Platinum Dunes and I can't belive I use to like this movie. The script is terible and the story is trash including the plot and characters. Nancy in this movie is so bland! I understand the actress doesn't like the experience of being in this movie and I be the same too. At least it's better than Freddy's Dead: Final Nightmare (1991). Freddy in this movie look like a fish if you ask me, the make-up for Freddy is bad! I do like Jakie Earl Haley in this movie, his character is well written but he'll never be good as Robert Egland like Thomas Jane will always be the Punisher. This movie is bad but at least they tried. So this is my review on A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), I don't recommend it at all.Score: 3.5/10

excalibur212 OK right from the beginning I was trying to understand why this high school kid was hitting on like a 22-24yo waitress. Then I realized, oh wait, everyone who's 23-25 year old in this movie is still in high school. LOFL!! OK admittedly even the original cast actors 20-21yrs old (which was more common in "teen" movies back in the 80's, but not in 2010+)... But mid-twenties actors pretending to be in high school? This is really over the line. Who exactly is not supposed to notice this, the real 17-18yo's watching who wonder why everyone is 5-6 years older than them in the movie? Or people over 30 who don't know what their 25 year old friends or kids looks like? LOFL!!

xgray-03873 Visually, it's faithful to the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movie. But, it's just that there isn't enough of the campy charm that made the original so great. No offense to Jackie Earl Haley. He's okay, but....I'd say Robert Englund is and will always be the true face of Freddy Kruger. Now Rooney Mara, I actually don't mind. But, Heather Langenkamp has always been the face of Nancy Thompson for over 30 years and she's still an iconic figure to this day. The effects of the movie are okay, but I don't think they were strong enough to save this movie remake from being so dull, story-wise.Overall, I would say that you should just stick with the original version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" because it's a lot more suspenseful than the remake.6 out of 10.
