I'm a huge Nightmare on Elm Street and Freddy fan so I'll have to get it eventually but I fear I will be massively disappointed when I see it. Oh well, can't be worse than Freddy Vs. Jason...is it?

Not sure about that tagline - I almost fell asleep watching it.

Oh yes, it's worse than Freddy vs. Jason. FvJ is at least enjoyable; this was insultingly awful on every level.

Haha, I can't wait....I love this movie, but, the only thing that sucks is the DVD Release, it has less DVD Features then the Blu-Ray 
Yeh this did suck BAD!!! And like someone else said i almost fell asleep. I will say i like the cover art though. This is actually taking a while(a while these days when most are out 3-4 months after theatres) but i guess halloween is the goal here
surprised at the lack of extras even on the blu-ray. i wasnt expect a 3hr bonanza but considering it did better than their Friday remake and that disc had a cool amount of stuff, this seems lacking.
but i liked the movie and i'm a lifelong and huge Elm Street fan so this is a definate buy. was hoping it would come in august but october 5th isnt too much further. nice to finally have a date and all though.

Pretty terrible, but it would complete my Nightmare collection. Probably grab it at Blockbuster when it's cheap.
No commentary?
Was kinda hoping for a commentary on this one,I heard production got a bit heated between the producers and Sam Bayer the director. Would be interested to hear any extra insights into that.

maybe thats why there isn't one. :p

This film was just OK. I can see why people think it's terrible because the performances were really uninteresting and the film borrows so many cliches. Although, I was entertained and I did like the "darker" feel of the film. But, I don't think I'm going to buy. What redemption is there for buying a mediocre film with barebones extra material? The only reason to purchase is because it's a combo pack and because it'll complete my collection.
Really another of disappointment cause of the lack of extras...
The movie was fine, at least it was better than the original for me.

To each there own, but you thought the remake was better than the original? Like I said, I'm not going to judge you as that would be ignorant since everyone has their own opinions, but, for me, I can't see why. I mean the original had better performances, didn't take itself TOO seriously, had better pacing, and overall better special effects and more gore. The two departments that the remake ONLY tops the original in is having a darker tone and better production values. I mean, I didn't HATE the remake, but the original, in my opinion, is way better.

This wasnt too good, but I have every NOES movie so Ill get it. Though this remake was a letdown and Jackie Earle Haley did a mediocre Freddy.
I had such high hopes for this, the trailers alone were incredible. However, this was terrible. Everything was bad. Ah well, at least the cast were nice to look at. I won't be purchasing.
Even the Blu-Ray looks to have an awkward lot of features. Pass on movie AND edition.
Looks like Special Features are just a way of recycling EPK stuff or plain uninteresting scenes.
I miss the "over 13 hours of special features" or "over 5 hours" and so on... to never be seen again.

I would skip this and buy the new line infini-film version of the original instead, heard this was absolutely horrible. I'm a huge nightmare fan and when news of this remake came to be I was already worried. How could you remake something which was so well done to begin with? The original hasn't aged badly at all and would still hold it's own today. Jackie Earl as Freddy gave me a small bit of hope which was quickly washed away by early reviews. I really hope they don't continue with sequels...
This movie was a major disappointment. I am a NOES fan but I was open to the idea of the new remake and actually excited about it. However, the movie was boring, the characters were half-baked, the acting was terribly stoic, and the mood was TOO serious (considering it's freaking dream world half the time).
This movie really did suck. Maniac Movie Mode? If its like there usual Maximum Movie Mode I would love to watch and see the director talk his way out of making a piece of c**p movie.
Very mediocre movie. Haley was decent as Freddy but the movie was slow-moving and lacking in energy. I much preferred the Friday the 13th remake to this.
This one sucked on all levels. A disgrace to the original series (even the bad parts) and Robert Englund.
It's overhated. Not a good movie, but hardly an abomination. Just sorta there.
there has got to be more deleted scenes then just one i think that is wrong
The movie originally opened with a house party and the kids playing rock band (footage from the first trailer shows someone falling out of a window). Then there were multiple removed dream sequences (one involving a dream version of "Elm Street", a possessed dog, along with a scene where Freddy "unzips" out of Quentin's body), and even a new ending. Not to mention missing scenes during the "micro naps" sequences. There's a whole movie within a movie to say the least.

I was disappointed in this one. The lead actress who played Nancy (Rooney Mara) was horrible. The only good thing about this movie was Katie Cassidy even though she was miscast as a high school student.

You preferred Kris (Cassidy) to Nancy (Mara)? Okay, I have to admit, both of their performances were stale, but Nancy was definitely better than Kris. Kris over acted in every scene and it truly shows. Nancy, while she under-acted in some parts, it wasn't in EVERY scene. Progressively, she got better. Again, that's not saying much but I find it a little questionable that you prefer Kris to Nancy.

For me, the new one aren't a good movie, but in some way, are better than the original, I can't deny that the original with good special effects and dead scenes, but I really hated how the old Nancy acted, was very not convincing. I dislike every scenes with her.
The new Freddy is darker and more serious, but less creepy. The old one creepier but honestly I'm not a dark humor Freddy's Fan.
I can feel that the new one is kinda like giving salute to the old one, tried to keep some good elements and give away the bad ones.
Conclusion for me personally, both aren't really great, but the new one wasn't that bad as people said as well.
P.S: It has already better than Friday The 13th (2009), that was the worst movie experience for me in 2009.

it was alot better than i expected, will pick it up, the sound should rock on blu ray
I think it's one of the much better horror reboots/remakes. 6/10. I can't wait to get this!

Pretty much all the performances on this movie was flat to stale.
As far as Kris and Nancy goes, I find Katie Cassidy much more attractive and she has a much more commanding presense on screen than Rooney Mara, so that's why I think she was enjoyable in this movie.

Terrible remake. Just terrible. So glad I didn't pay to see it. The best part was the trailer for Sex and the City 2 that preceded it. How 'bout an announcement on that one, Warner?
i hope they remake Leprechaun, but with an average height person.
