I always thought Remakes and reboots are supposed to be on their own direction. We seen the same thing in Halloween, Friday the 13th, and now Nightmare On Elm Street. They always seem to deliver same thing. Reason is hate remakes is they always seem to intend to be a replacement for the original by barrowing certtain scenes.

This is a REMAKE! Not a sequel people. Yes there will never be anyone to replace Robert in our eyes and the name we think of when it comes to Freddy will always be Robert Englund. However, as far as REMAKES go, it would be down right stupid to cast the same exact actor to play the same exact role in the same movie he has already acted! If this were a Nightmare on Elmstreet Prequel then I would say YES by all means have Robert play the role (which I hope they make) but this is a REMAKE of nightmare 1! Not Nightmare 9! We should remember and cherish the original nightmare the way it is with Robert as Freddy. I view this film, as we all should, as an homage to Robert and the original. I do not want a Carbon Copy film of the original. I want an original look, an original voice, an original walk…so on and so on. Pay tribute but do not copy Robert and the original scene for scene. Personally,I think the trailer for the remake looks awesome! I am curious to see what they do for the ending because I always thought the very end of the film was something that was lacking in the original. I also like that Freddy is going to be dark again like in the first 3 films, because lets face it, having him like a stand up comedian in 4,5,and 6 was just stupid, entertaining, but not scary. 1,2,3,7, and FVJ rocked. Excellent choice in J. Haley for the new Freddy. I think he will be great and do the film justice, as well as make Robert and the fans proud. We should embrace the fact that this film and the franchise was good enough to even have a big enough following to warrant a Remake of the original. As a huge NOES fan for over 15 years, I Will be there opening night jumping out of my seat with excitement Im am so tired of reading peoples comments of them crying and whining over the fact Robert Englund isnt in this movie.

Im a big Freddy fan and as a true fan i didnt mind how Freddy got be like he was from the original and progressed into the sequels. Mainly because that's what made him unique from others like Jason or Michael Myers cause they just slash up their victims and move on to the next. Freddy is pure evil as they come and whats the big deal about intimidating someone before you go for the kill? Freddy knew how to strike fear into the minds of people and knew their deepest fear or their happiest thought and turn it against them. But in this film and having him being a victim at first is pretty lame as Pinhead talkin like shakespear etc. Anyways ill probly see this and hope for the best because Friday the 13th Reboot wasnt all what it hyped up to be. I thought of that one as more of a sequel. Samething with Halloween's reboot franchise.

In a similar way to Two-Face in TDK: you wouldn't have got the same ghoulish impact from traditional makeup.

Done by a guy who's never even made anything longer than 5-10 minutes and now we have a Freddy Krueger with CGI Make-Up? Are you kidding me? This kinda crap has got to stop because with all this un-realistic CGI stuff in the movies it's not as entertaining. If I wanted to play a video game/CGI believe me I would do just that. We have got to get them to go back to the old ways of actual effects make-up and design none of this fully rendered crap-RJW This new version looks kinda corny.

Horror or not, remake or not, take it for what it's worth. There is obviously still a market out there to make NOES movies and New Line wasn't sure what direction they wanted to take it in...so they're working with PD and they're giving us this. I think it looks great and I'm super excited to see it. I've been a HUGE NOES fan ever since I was a little kid, and I say, any way that Hollywood can bring Freddy back to the big screen, I'm all for it. The peeps who say "How can they remake a classic?! It's untouchable!" etc etc... C'mon, let's get real. They're not remaking Citizen Kane here. If you're a REAL fan, I think you should be excited to see this. FYI: I am also a Friday the 13th fan and I thought the remake PD did was pretty good! I don't get why all the bad talk about it... sure it was kind of campy and some weak attempts at comedy, but the story and acting was way better than any of the F13 movies from the 80's, right?! Excited for the 2nd one... :) Wow… a lot of you guys are Debbie-downers. Horror or not, remake or not, take it for what it’s worth.

He looks more retarded than scary. Next to whoever said how could Wes Craven sign away the rights and then say that it's because Craven is broke. That is the dumbest thing I've heard all day. Craven doesn't own the rights to the franchise. New Line Cinema owns the rights and has so since the first film was made. Trust me Wes Craven is far from broke. If he was broke he couldn't produce movies which he has been doing more of lately than directing. Now back to the movie. I really like the dark atmosphere of the photography and will give this a chance. I hate Freddys new look but i'm going to try an look past it. Nightmare on Elm Street is my all time fave horror movie and I'm hoping it will be at least entertaining to watch. Wow first off the new freddy look is stupid. He looks more retarded than scary.

I thought they had some creative death kills starting with part 3. Sure he started to make wise cracks but thats what made him unique from Michael Myers & Jason Voorhees since those two are pretty much alike. Why have all slashers be the sameway? @ luke

Jackie Earle Haley is a great actor and I am looking forward to his portrayal of Freddy Kruger. I will say the Halloween remake was a disappointment. I understand that film makers want to respect the material, yet do their own thing. I do like that they are making Freddy more serious and not spouting the comic one liners as the sequels to the original tended to do. Robert Englund was a great Freddy Kruger and as far as remakes it has been done lot of times with characters such as Superman, Batman, Dracula, etc, so remakes don't bother me as much. I like the nods to the original film with the bathtub and the girl leviating up, and we see a backstory leading to this. I sure don't won't the film makers to like Gus Van sant did with Psycho and make a frame by frame remake of the original Hitchcock classic. I want to see Haley play Freddy Kruger not Haley playing Robert Englund as Freddy Kruger. I am looking forward to this movie.

Looks like they're sticking close to the source material, but putting a more modern and realistic twist on it to boost the horror factor and I think it will work out in their favor. It will either be amazing or terrible, but we'll have to see the final product to find out. Looks pretty decent to me.
