A Nightmare On Elm Street Movie Review(2010)

Now I never saw the original A Nightmare On Elm Street,but i saw this Micheal Bay produced remake of it.Now Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy was a huge victory!The plot not so much.It's basically a pattern . Kid falls asleep then Freddy kills them.But i did respect the back story.You don't find who the main characters are until the middle of the film because everybody else dies.Those 2 main characters are Quentin(Kyle Galner from Jenifer's Body)and Nacy(Rooney Marr from one of the year's best films Youth In Revolt).The 2 misfits are sleep deprived and scared shitless,but they are still determined to stop Freddy.

Now the film started out really good and suspensful but then the stupid plot went into overdrive.The kills in this film are really creative and cool.Galner and Marr had good chemistry and made you really care for their characters.Haley stole the show as Kruger with sharp wit and nail biting suspense that made me scream in the theater "Holy SHIT!".The Ending scene was probably the best part of the film but it made NO sense what so ever!

For the flaws, i hated the fact the story made absolute no sense.Freddy doesnt kill kids who live on elm street they just happen to live there and the whole back story made sense.Allright i dont like spoilers at all but i have to for this review.Freddy was a gardener at a preschool who lived in the basement...Allright stop it right there!Why in the hell would they let a loneley 40 something dude live in a freaking basement at a day care!!!STUPIDITY!!!Anyway Freddy apparently raped the kids and the kids suddenly forgot about it!WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE CHEESE FRIES IS THIS?One thing i absoluteley hated about this film were the parents.Especially the mother of Nancy.She was contradicting herself throughout the whole film.Like in one scene Nancy is at the hospital and shes gonna be taking out by medicine to be in a DEEP SLEEP(aka shell FREAKING DIE!!!!!!!!!).So let me get this straight Nancy's Mom didnt want her to get raped but its ok if she gets killed.That last scene in the film was the best because Freddy shows up in a mirror and gouges Nancy's Mom's eyes out of her sockets,even though it didnt make any sense because didnt Nancy allready kill Freddy,but i didnt carebecause i hated the mom.But the thing that was REALLY FUNNY was that the end song was The Everly Brother's"Dream" because the film ended so subtly that when the credits started to roll i was laughing my ass off!

This remake is a remake that youll buy 2 years from now for $4 at a big lots and watch it with alot of friends for Halloween.Micheal Bay you did it again!
