Bringing Freddy to a whole new generation
PostedApril 30, 2010

from Houston, TX
The new Nightmare on Elm Street was a great re-vamp of the original series. It brought a modern touch/twist to the classic movie series. The new portrayal of Freddy(Jackie Earle Haley) was done very well, especially with the voice. The story line was smoother and the special effects and acting were far superior from the original, especially the scenes that were updated from the original. A few predictable jumpy moments and at least one unpredictable one. Of course there is the set up for the sequel in the end however I hope Hollywood knows when to stop this time. The only complaint I had wasn't really wasn't specific to this movie its Hollywood wide. Why do 30 year olds play high school students? It may not become a following like the original series, especially with all the competition(Saw, Friday the 13th, Final Destination) but it is a great re-take the original. Don't wait for the DVD its a perfect date movie!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
