I am a huge fan of the series, I own every single movie but this remake just didn't do it for me. I know I am probably nitpicking and being very critical but I feel like that someone that enjoys the series so much should be. The scenes made to make you jump were too predictable. I will say that Jackie Haley did a great job portraying Freddy but I did miss the good ol' Robert Englund. The way they explained what happened to him was really interesting too. Also a few scenes were revamped and were much improved on from the original. However, they did cut out some of THE BEST scenes from NOES. Such as the booby trapping scene, and Johnny Depp being sucked into his bed and spewed out. I appreciated the remake and the effort put in to it, but nothing beats the original.
