Better than original

This movie is... okay. But it's certainly NOT better than the original. FREDDY'S REVENGE, which is probably my least favorite of the Englund films, is better than this one.

It has some interesting ideas, but the execution is not handled well. I think the reason why this movie suffered is becuase of Samuel Bayer, he didn't care for the source material very much and hasn't really been at the top his game with his music video and commercial work in years. As far as I'm concerned Bay and co. should have gone to Chris Cunningham, his work is amazing from his shorts to music videos to commercials and he's still a visually fresh filmmaker. I also would've probably cast somebody else other than Mara as Nancy also, she just didn't really care for the material either it seemed.

I have an unbelievably long ignore list.

If by "shot more seriously", you mean "shot with a poor script that felt unfinished with bland direction and a cast that all gave poor performances other than Jackie Earle Haley", then sure, it was "shot more seriously."

This film doesn't hold a candle to the original. It barely holds a candle to the piece of crud that was Freddy's Dead.

And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

You could "try" to make a claim that a movie only made because of a lack of creativity, a guaranteed profit and because a certain other horror classic remake managed to actually be good and reap in profits and generate a prequel (and later a faux sequel to the original) was made more seriously than the Nightmare sequels, but to even think that the piece of crap remake of the original Wes Craven A Nightmare on Elm Street, was better and more seriously shot, is an obvious sign that your mother should of had an abortion.

Ha! No way.

Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?

There is a saying in my country: "There is a blind buyer for every lame horse out there." I think that perfectly defines people who love this movie over the original.

You could never be in the business. No eye for decency..
