NEW FREDDY vs. OLD FREDDY

We have a new nightmare here. Hollywood has decided it's time to remake the classic 1980s slash flick "Nightmare on Elm Street." The story is basically the same, except we have another actor playing Freddy (Jackie Earle Haley). But the chills promise to be the same. Can they be without Robert Englund as Freddy? You decide.

 

I'm torn on whether to waste my time on this movie or not.

Tell me your opinions!!!!!!!!

Ive chosen to stop watching any remakes that I am aware are remakes. They always let me down the same way that reading the book then watching the movie does.



i own all the other freddy movies and heard this new one was complete garbage so havent seen it. of course...its not like the others are top quality films either though.

The movie i seen at theaters was NOT Freddy. It was Jason Kruger.

Freddy was supposed to be cool, funny and bad ass.

Not Jason infused with Feddy.

The movie was good but the character playing him sucked ass.



I have a confession

Iv never seen a Nightmare On Elm Street Movie.......

you sir, must leave your bar and get yourself over to the nearest couch and watch them.



I have not seen the new Nightmare on Elm Street, but these things I know:

I own all of the original movies including Freddy Vs. Jason.

The first movie was probably the best slasher movie ever.

Robert Englund was amazing as Freddy Krueger.

Freddy Krueger is now being played by Jackie Earle Haley.

Jackie Earle Haley was Kelly Leak in the original Bad News Bears.

The thought of Kelly Leak trying to scare me is terrifying in itself.

I am not a big fan of slasher movies in general but Robert Englund MADE me like the first 3 of the series.

Jackie Earle Haley AS Kelly Leak did scare me back in the day. I didn't think he could pull off Freddy though.

Thanks for the feedback.

The remake was complete garbage. Let's copy 90% of the movie and add more of a back story element to the movie. Let's copy the death parts in almost the same way,but use cheap cgi. Let's also have a bunch of twilight and wb reject's playing the parts of the troubled teens. If you add all this with the fact that Freddy kruger's face looks like a melted hamster's face,then you have the remake.



The best Freddie is Farrokh Bulsara aka Freddie Mercury.
