I think it's a atrocious, it's not jus Nancy that's lifeless it's almost the entire friggin movie
@@amywade4035 I can not argue with you at all. Just a very frustrating film. Do you have a fav in the Elm St franchise? Or a fav franchise in general?
@TheNightwatchZone my fav of nightmare is part 3 but my fav franchise is halloween, part 2 being the best one
@@amywade4035 that is very cool. I'm a big fan of those movies. I don't know if you saw our Battle World stream we just had a few hours ago but I think you'll enjoy it. Em St franchise vs Halloween franchise. It was a blast 😊
For me the main actual issue is how obviously there is stuff in this movie that was cut out. So many scenes end so abruptly that it feels you are seeing only half a movie. That never feels good.
@@echedp8903 well said🔥💯 I agree there are scenes that are very off. Probably because of all of the drafts that were whittled down. Thanks so much for watching this and commenting. I appreciate it👍🔥
💯
I honestly hadn't noticed this, but now I will have to watch it again, and it bet it will stick out! :)
@@schmuelking1535 If you need confirmation there is like making of videos that have actors standing in scenes that aren't in the movie. Not to mention Nancy in the film seems to be touch sensitive(you see her flinch when she's touched) and the movie just never mentions it. Character development, why leave that in the movie?
@@echedp8903 oh I believe you! It makes sense. I just hadn't picked up on it
Why would an actor audition for a role they didn't want, then take the job when chosen? That doesn't add up.
money and exposure.
Yeah I call BS
I thought it would have been a great twist to have Freddy be really innocent but the parents kill him anyway
You would think that with someone with common sense and artistic freedom would make that happen but no. Freddy is just a POS. IT'S NOT FUKIN RIGHT
That was my main criticism. Like, I didn't love the movie, but the set up was one I really loved fair bit up to that point, but that reveal just ruined any enjoyment and I spent the last bit of the film bored senseless because of that.
That and the fact the majority of the kills were really simplistic stabs, not even clever or twisted deaths. Know that this Freddy wasn't like the funny quippy one, but I still wanted something with more oomph.
Don't hate it just think it could've been executed alot better, especially with visuals and story. Also the actress who played Nancy just didn't want to be there 😊💜🐾👋👍
@@mychunkyjordi7585 I definitely agree with you Gina👍👍
Going to watch now 😃 you Rock Night 👍
@@jeannewiddicombe ☺️☺️☺️
I thought the teens being disturbed by the fact the parents may have killed an innocent man was a much better way to isolate the characters rather than simply the neglect in the original....overall I enjoy it doesn't deserve the bottom of the franchise that most people give it
@@alexroof2597 well said. I also think it would have been more interesting with the innocent plot👍
I always thought it would have been cool if the kids did lie on him . Like if someone else was doing that to them
The bladed glove could have been incorporated as part of the stories the children made up about him. After seeing him use that gardening tool, one of the children might have had a nightmare of him with a clawed glove. Something along the lines of the Salem witch hysteria.
That's exactly what I was expecting, that one of the parents was behind it. Then it's like "Nope! We lied about that plot point, just because we felt like it." Weak storytelling.
@@phousefilms cool
I don't understand why most Hollywood creatives don't understand what you stated so well, character and story do trump special effects.
If someone burns me alive and then I get the opportunity to come back as a dream demon, I'm haunting them first. Fire hurts 😂
I don't hate this as much as RZ H1, but this film has more grave mistakes throughout. The ridiculously poor CGI, Mara's unenthusiastic performance, the we-went-too-far with the PDF stuff (subtly goes a LONG way), and Mara's unenthusiastic performance highlight my gripes. I HATE we have those issues, because Haley was as good as anyone could have hoped for someone other than Robert donning the glove. This franchise is FAR overdue to be reawakened, and done well. It's DREAMS! You can do ANYTHING! Be creative. The idea that you HAVE to sleep eventually and that you will die once you do from a maniac is dark and scary enough. I hope whenever this franchise is revisted with a new film that they don't play it safe, try to retread the same story AGAIN. Do something new. It shouldnt be THIS hard nor have taken THIS long...
Unfortunately Rooney Mara plays Nancy in the post-Twilight-film-scape and right at the boom when every main girl character was written as this disinterested, emotionally distracted, manic pixie etc,. Which is none of the characteristics of the Nancy in the og flick iirc. Her actually not wanting to be there irl reflects mostly on the people behind the camera. Why did they make it so unbearable? That’s what I want to know.
But yeah I watched this movie about a year after it came out so I was 10 which made it a lot more effective. That’s not saying much but since it’s the first in the franchise I’ve seen, to me, it’s not as bad as some of the og fans say.
Great video as always Night 😊👍🐾💜
Please keep making these videos bro! They're awesome... Btw that De Niro in Copland clip "You Blew It!!" Never gets old. Never stop using that clip. 😂
I like this movie not good as the og but not bad
I don’t think this movie is as bad as everyone made it out to be. It made a shitload of money in theaters too. I think what makes it “not great” is the awful CGI, the lame main actress sleepwalking (no pun intended) through her acting. Freddy’s makeup was bad too. However, I like that they made Freddy scary and evil again, and Jackie did a GREAT job as Freddy. I’m glad they stopped with the MTV style Freddy in the later sequels where he became a f*cking joke.
I've never respected Rooney Mara after this. Nobody forced her at gunpoint to sign on the dotted line. She should have stepped aside and gave the opportunity to an actress who respected the material and cared about doing well.
I don't even get the fuss over Rooney as actress. I was willing to keep an open mind about her when I watched a movie she did with Casey Affleck called "The Ghost." She was every bit as lifeless (pun intended) in that movie.
Thanks for all of this info! Your WYH videos sound so reserved compared to how expressive you are in the debate videos!!
@@plantbasedbooch 😁😁 you are probably the first person to note that difference. I appreciate that and try to provide variety even in my delivery 👊👍💪🔥
@TheNightwatchZone I'm a voice actor, my ear just notices things haha😅
I love how animated you are with your friends, but will still devour the WYH series! Variety is the spice of life, friend🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🔥
@@plantbasedbooch that is definitely cool. Voice acting is very interesting. Yeah I love hanging with my friends talking movies. It's something that I've always loved doing and now I get to have a platform for it🙏🙏
why I hated the remake: the cast, the lifelessness, the goddamn cgi mask!!!🤦🏻♀️
also, that's not the Freddy we grew up with,man. why would you need a more "real world like" freddy?
the og didn't need "on the nose" clues he was a kiddydiddler. it was implied and that was enough
they did too much and yet made it so much less 🤷🏻♀️
Worse, because they wanted "real world", the kills were just weak. Single stabs or slashes, not even any clever or twisted murders, which is part of why I enjoy the Elm Street franchise.
This Freddy guest Appeared In Mortal kombat 9
And is a killer in "DBD"(I keep hoping for a Robert Englund themed face design though, I don't like the JEH face).
great synopsis. I agree with so much of what you say here, if not all. The pharmacy scene is amazing and the micronaps were so good. I didn't mind the name changes though, but only where they were nods to characters in the sequels.
I didn't like the fx on he's face
I enjoyed watching the Reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street. I loved that I hated Freddy. The cast was a bit blah...or should I say the writing of them was blah. I think haters gonna hate. Many of the classics were good cause they were first. No problem with that. I always assumed Freddy was also a pedo in the originals anyway. Quite often his taunts were sexual. I think the haters killed the chance of a sequel cause they think a Reboot erases the past version. It doesn't. Freddy in the original franchise at first was scary...but just became more and more of a clown as it went on. Nightmare needed a Reboot...and the biggest argument is he was "too evil". Were there some issues? YUP !!! Was it better than the original? YUP !!! imo. I will always give NOES1 its respect for what it was and for being first. But I rather hate the child pedo/killer than cheer on his kills or laugh at his jokes. Thats my opinion.
My main issues with the movie:
1)Terrible acting by the mains.
2)The "twist"was terrible: I really was feeling engaged up to the reveal, as I thought "This is really interesting, a Freddy who isn't a killer and is getting revenge for a witch hunt against him started by the kids?" I was actually enjoying that part and wanting to know more. I was like "Was one of the adults a pervert and the "claws"an exaggeration of the gardening tool Freddy used?" I was waiting for the reveal of who was the one behind it, if it was Nancy's mom or the father of the boyfriend...and then it's just Freddy and the whole time, he was the bad guy. What a goddamn waste....
3)Weak kills: There's no reason to "ground"Freddy. Dreams are strange places and Freddy is a strange being with powers that can alter the dream. Even if we don't include the "demons"and such of the OG, we can still have some strange or fucked up imagery and have some truly clever kills, which is part of my reason I enjoy the Elm Street franchise. The movie decided "Nah. Let's just make the kills a single stab or cut every time! No reason to be clever. Just be as boring as possible!"
When you make the already vile character of Freddy Krueger even more disgusting, you have to at least make his victims a lot more likable. But its best not to go as far as they did. You dont want to make the audience feel too uncomfortable
I feel the writing, specifically the characterizations of all the characters--including Freddy, really tanked this movie. Freddy really felt like he had nothing to do for most of the run time. The special effects did not lend themselves for the tone either. Also, the casting of most of the teenagers felt off as they all look closer to 25 rather than 17.
This movie felt like a parady for some reason. Didn't care for it
lol I didn’t mind this movie
A lot of great actors in it, even if this movie doesn’t showcase it
It’s not the worst thing ever tbh
Hate…nahh, I think I could only hate something that was made in passion. But my sticking points: 1) even if it is only visible in hindsight, the original was revolutionary…remakes could be revolutionary (the Thing) but only if they take major risks…the movie, for all its attempts to improve it, were approaching it with a “let’s tweak it,”…so it was going to be disappointing from the start, 2) the desire to make a movie “darker”, has gotten under my nerves more and more over time…humor and campiness at times makes many horror movies classics…without some degree of levity, characters feel hallow and not very human (or inhuman in Fred’s case) and thus not ones you will connect with, 3) my personal philosophy with CGI: I like CGI that I can’t tell is CGI…I could be wrong but I don’t think I am alone, 4) I have a working theory on horror/slasher movies…there are three types-1) unicycles (movies build around the slasher…Friday the 13th), 2) bicycles (movies built around a slasher and a specific protagonist…Halloween, Nightmare) and 3) tricycles (movies that build an universe with multiple slashers/protagonists exist…Saw,Chucky)…I think most long-term series fall apart when they lose sight of its foundational design and usually only get back on track when they honor it….it sucks because change is important to keeping a series going and thriving but as you bring up, without a compelling lead to battle with Freddy it won’t be much better than the latter Nightmares. Rant over.
2 face in dark knight was a bad cgi effects
I hate the film because I think it wasted it's potential the concept of a Freddy who molested kids then goes back after them as teens is a good idea dramatically. They don't do anything with it though it was like they wanted to go darker but also wanted this movie to appeal to teens at the same time as a basic mainstream slasher film the 2 tones don't mesh you can't have a film aboit molestation and not even try to use it for dramatic purposes otherwise why even bring it up. This movie should have been about how Freddy had power over the kids because he abused them as children then show how he uses this to have power over them as adults ending the film with Nancy no longer allowing him to control her through her memories of abuse. Have Nancy take control back at the end from Freddy and kill him as she would be no longer afraid of him and he wouldn't be able to feed off there fear anymore or there guilt of being abused. This movie could have and should have been a very powerful film dramatically but they do nothing but constant jump scares with bad cgi.
The other thing is the mystery of is Freddy guilty or not was pointless as it goes nowhere. Had he actually been innocent and the kids covered for the real molester by lying about him which then got him killed that also could have been interesting dramatically but again it went nowhere.
That was the main reason I ended up loathing the film. The setup of him potentially being a man who was hunted down and murdered because a bunch of kids lied(with the potential being one of the parents being the real abuser or something)got me invested, but then the reveal of "Yes, but actually, no." just made me shake my head and be bored for the last ten-fifteen minutes of the movie.
I didn't hate the remake. If anything, I actually enjoyed watching it for the first time. I just didn't like Freddy Krueger's backstory in it. And the way it was handled. Other than that, I actually enjoyed Jackie Earl Haley's performance in it.
Omg Michael Bay really did Samuel Bayer dirty 😞 I think the very dark pr*dat*r motive here was the right move, I believe it was what Wes originally intended to do with 1984? In the remake, I liked the mystery of whether Freddy was guilty or not
I don't like remake's unless they further a ongoing story that fill's any loose ends but as for any other reason is just a CASH GRAB to comply to the the company if under contract with them. For example the only Elm street remake that did work was Wes Cravens New Nightmare you had both Heather and Robert in that movie playing themselves but yet it had a Nightmare on Elm street feel as well as to the movie.
The micro nap concept was a good idea but this movie did suck
No Robert Englund.. Nuff said.
I like the 1984 and the 2010. A change is good because how long can you put up with the same thing I would like to know.
Personally I've never hated A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) like most people do and tbh i like this movie more than The Dream Child and Freddy's Dead, now don't get me wrong is this movie great or amazing Hell No ! but ive always thought this movie was goos to decent and thats it this movie ia just decent not the dumpster fire that most people think it is but this is just my opinion.
Well said man. There is good stuff in this movie 🍿🍿
@@TheNightwatchZone I agree , there is good stuff In it not much but some.
16:43 🐈🐈🐈🐈
The name changes pissed me off tew
Compared to the rest of the franchise, the remake wasn't that bad. Although the new cast wasn't great.
I dont hate it i have a soft spot for it.
I’ve never disliked this film. I think all the hate that it gets is bull💩.
It just simply didnt feel original at all it felt like a low budget teen horror and was just straight up boring. Theres a difference between a remake and a remaster. If your going to do 1:1 ratios of scenes they have to be interesting and give a new take.
I also think freddy being innocent would have been interesting
Loved the rebooot ....
Well, I can tell you why I hate. First off, you can tell that the director didn't want to make this movie. It's uninspired and boring. The characters are really really bland. I don't care about them at all. The film itself is drab, colorless, and lifeless. The effects are crap. The script is bad. The Freddy makeup is just terrible. There are a few good ideas here and there but not enough to save this movie. Even if you go back and watch the "lesser" Nightmare films, they are at least watchable and entertaining. Nightmares 5 and 6 are not great but the characters are interesting and you care about them. The kills are cool. There are some good Freddy lines. They are fun for what they are. The remake was just a cash grab and it shows
I hated it because they changed Freddy from a child murder to a pedophile.
Movie was better than any other Freddy movie after the first one 💯
I didn't like the fx on he's face
