Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Thomas Drufke Well, Freddy most certainly did get his revenge with this film. Sadly, none of the cast members from the original film returned for Freddy to give his revenge to. In all, the second film in this iconic franchise isn't anything new besides a few scares and Freddy doing Freddy things. But even to that point, it's not always Freddy wearing the glove and committing the crimes, and it diminishes the effect when it's not him.The one thing this film does do is build the mythology around Freddy Krueger's history on Elm Street. Of course he would come back and haunt the same house that Nancy Thompson lived in, now inhabited by the Walsh family. His main target, a timid and constantly nervous, Jesse Walsh. Freddy has a different relationship with Jesse than he did with Nancy, and it just doesn't have the same emotional impact as it did the first time around.It's the same old high school drama, bullying, and sexual tension that plagues the teens in this sequel, and those things nearly outweigh Freddy's screen time. Like any good horror villain, he spends his time working in the shadows, but that only works when the horror is amplified at the important times of the film. That's not the case here.The one incredible moment from this film is Freddy's re-birth sequence. Terrifying and visually impressive, that scene is easily one of the most powerful moments of the series. Overall, this is simply one of those horror films you'll watch on cable, and nothing you need to spend valuable time on.3.4/10
Ilikehorrormovies I don't think the movie is the best but I enjoy it. I don't think "Revenge" is the best title because it doesn't have the protagonist Nancy Thompson. I like how they try different theme of the movie but sometime it work and sometime it fails. it's on my forth place of A Nightmare on Elm Street films so not a bad spot. PS I'm not gay, I enjoy this film for some reason I don't know why.
alexanderdavies-99382 "A Nightmare On Elm Street: Freddy's Revenge" is a pretty good sequel in all fairness. Robert Englund was back as Freddy Kruegar and his character was still being treated pretty seriously. It is true that the leading man can't actually his way out of a rubber johnny, let alone a paper bag. He has no talent at all and I can't imagine why he was even given the opportunity to be in this film. The same applies to the leading lady, she is simply hopeless. Neither one of them displays any of the vulnerability that the cast from before showed. I can't understand why there was that scene at the gay bar. OK, the high school coach is attracted to men but how is that relevant to the story of the film? Robert Englund is the reason to see this and the pace is fast-moving which helps. The opening scene on the school bus is both imaginative and atmospheric. I enjoy the scene where Freddy appears at the teenagers barbecue and reeks havoc. The kids try to cower away from him but it's all in vain. I can't believe I was cheering when I saw him! The moment when Jesse and Lisa discover the diary of Nancy Thompson is a telling one. It reveals the danger Jesse is in for the first time. As in the previous film, Robert Englund doesn't have much screen time but he comes into the film when required. Some fans are a bit divided over whether the idea of Kruegar existing inside Jesse was a good move. I'm not sure. It seems slightly far fetched but in Freddy Kruegar's world, everything is! For the first time, we get to see Freddy's domain - which is the old factory on the outskirts of Springfield. The previous film only showed the factory in bits and pieces, it consisted of small camera shots here and there. In "Freddy's Revenge," we see a real factory being used for the plot and it looks a great set. A worthy sequel.
jurgenprochnov Jesse is my favorite character from all nightmares. I now this is movie about Freddie but I hate murderers and pedophiles. Actor who play him did great job. I now that this movie have double subplot and I think is great idea to mixed with nightmare story that's why this movie have deeper meaning and I love it for that more then others. Its the darkest from all nightmares and have creative script. Definitely its the best from all nightmares and I rating 10 from 10 stars in horror scale.
