Sorry if anyone feels this post contains 'spoilers' but I personally don't feel they are....
First up I HAD somewhat high-hopes for the new Freddy movie, I had not however seen ANY shots (that were light enough to see) the new look they gave Freddy, when finally seeing the new freddy in the movie I was PISSED, he did not just look like a burn victim he looked (as my daughter said so perfectly) like a CAT... she dubbed him "Freddy Cougar"
Next up, was there REALLY any need what-so-fucking-ever to switch Freddy from a child killer to a child molester??? at least as a child killer you could still kind of root for him in the first 8 movies, but can you really sit and 'root' for a child toucher???
Am I the only one who honestly does NOT need a LOUD ASS sound cue to know when a character is dreaming?, I mean we've all made it almost 20 years of nightmare movies without needed any sort of sound cues to know that someone nodded off lol.
Last but not least, Jamie did as good as a job as he could have playing Freddy, BUT he seemed to not bother to change the voice he used when he played Rorschach in watchmen.
Don't get me wrong, the movie was not horrible, and it did not suck, but I just think they could have done much much better to revive this franchise!
It DID make a shitload of money opening weekend so we can almost bet dollars to donuts that sequels will be coming.
