I have grown up watching all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I used to love to go to the movies to watch it with friends. Now I have teenagers that enjoy it as well. They have seen the originals prior to watching this one.
***spoiler alert*''*
Yes, he did touch the kids in the first one and that is why he was burned to death but Freddie was all about killing the kids not molesting them. It really put me off. They also need to bring back his face cause it looked so weird seeing a new Freddie. Either that or it will take some time to get used to the new face. As far as the movie goes yes there was action and suspense and I jumped a couple of times.
