Don't think I will have enough time going to see this movie anytime soon, but lucky I'm going to torrent this movie! With release of english subs, of course, that's coming from DivX, I believe. :D
 
My drive in is playing THE LOSERS followed by ELM ST. for just $15, plus we can smuggle in our drugs and booze aswell.

Is the Losers worth watching? Not that anyone really gives a **** about the 1st movie anyway lol.
 
I'm heading out now... I hope this is good. I'm still going in without massive expectations. As long as it's fun i'll be happy.
 
My review.

The abridged version: I really liked it. Not perfect. A couple characters could have been more vivid, but otherwise, I enjoyed the cast. Especially Haley as a much darker Freddy.

Fantastic climactic scene, although I really wasn't a fan of the final moments.

The movie was pretty much everything I hoped it would be but feared it wouldn't be. If a friend invited me to see it again, I'd have no problem revisiting it.
 
Caught this earlier today instead of seeing Kick Ass, which I'll be seeing tomorrow with my father. The entire first act crippled the film as effective horror. There was zero build up to Freddy's reveal; credits roll and bam, there he is in his full glory. Without providing any context to the first victim's predicament, there wasn't any suspense or tension leading up to the first kill. The film assumes the viewer knows who Freddy is, and plays it off like a sequel (beginning much the same way Freddy sequels have in the past). The first act fails in every way imaginable on setting up the characters, story, and ground rules of the film. The viewer doesn't even really know who the main character is until a third of the way in. The original Nightmare completely trashes this film in that aspect.

Despite that I enjoyed its delving into the Freddy mythos, and directly tying the children in with Freddy's original crimes. Jackie did a fairly good job portraying a more sinister Freddy, but the script would have served him better had it kept him in the shadows more. The final act with the micro naps and confrontation at the preschool was pretty neat too.

Oh, and I missed Bernstein's theme a lot.
 
Jackie's Freddy = Ledger's Joker.

I loved it.

Katie Cassidy (Kris?) needs a nice ass tapping. I downloaded the bootleg for a second viewing when I got some time. But ya, a fun flick.
 
Saw it on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The burn Make-up on Freddy was a lot better than in the original, I thought. It was very grotesque.

It's been a while since I've seen the original, but Freddy seemed to be somewhat creepier in this one. Maybe it was the change from child murderer in the original to child molester in this one, but ever thing from the way he stalked the victims to the comments he made to them seemed so much more frightening.

The one that really stood out to me was the bit how the brain is still active for seven minutes after death, so, as Freddy put it: "we have six more minutes left to play".
 
Downloaded the bootleg for a second viewing, had great quality too and I gotta say I fucken loved this movie the second time around even more than the first.

I'm definatley grabbing this sucker when it's out on b-r.

Bravo to Jackie Earl Hayley.
