Freddy Krueger, along with Michael Myers, Leatherface, and Jason Voorhees, is one of the four staples of 80's horror. And, like Myers, Leatherface, and Voorhees, Freddy has now been remade by the man himself: Michael Bay. Let's dive in shall we?
Just like in the original, the new "Nightmare on Elm Street" centers around a group of teens who are haunted in their dreams by a burned man in a sweater with knives on his fingers. This man is of course, Freddy Krueger. Exactly! Everybody knows who Freddy is, and it's not like Friday the 13th where it's just Jason lumbering around slashing people.
Freddy has a personality, he's funny, he's memorable! But not this Freddy. This Freddy, played by the massively talented Jackie Earl Haley, barely has much dialogue, and you almost never see his face. Like I said, we know who Freddy is!! Stop hiding him, even if the makeup is stupid looking!!
Also, why is Freddy a child molester now? That fact just makes the whole experience just creepy and uncomfortable to watch. Anyway, there's too much focus on the unmemorable teenagers, the writing sucks and it's BORING. I don't wanna talk about this movie anymore, so just skip it.
