A few thoughts: If the title itself hadn't done it, the total failure of a movie that this is surely would have killed Freddy anyway. As a fairly loyal fan of the series, I enjoyed every movie up to this point, but it was evident by about 20 minutes in that this would be the one to break that streak. While it doesn't start off totally awful, the clownification of Freddy here reaches new heights and the result is not even remotely entertaining. He is flat-out annoying in this, and the fact he doesn't even really kill people in it just makes it all the worse. Poor Robert Englund, he tried so hard, the material just sucked. Desperate and annoying, even the production value seems to have slipped here. Attempts at humor fall flat, there is nothing creepy about it all, and the distractingly bad effects and hideous 3D work is baffling to say the least. What happened here? It shouldn't have been this bad and is a very unfortunate note to end the original series on. Oh well. At least New Nightmare was good, so the fun doesn't die here.
I wouldn't. Why would I do that?
My grade: D-
