Short and sweet. Ridiculous story, horrible CG makeup, but the saving grace was Jackie Earle Haley. Could not have been a better Freddy Krueger other than Robert Englund. He was so perfect for the role, just wish he had a better screenplay and director.

This is a pathetic remake of a beloved classic. I do like the Friday The 13th remake and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake but this is weak. The script is the same as the original but a crappy/modernize version, poorly executed story, and block of wood characters (aka emotionless acting). Nancy in this movie is so bland but I think the writing ruined it. THE JUMPSCARES!! Knock it off already they're not scary, they're ANNOYING!!!!!! I use to defend this movie for 5 years since 4th grade and as a freshmen at High School it's poorly directed. Overall bad remake I don't recommend it. Watch the original instead.

This is the weakest remake from Platinum Dunes and I can't belive I use to like this movie. The script is terible and the story is trash including the plot and characters. Nancy in this movie is so bland! I understand the actress doesn't like the experience of being in this movie and I be the same too. At least it's better than Freddy's Dead: Final Nightmare (1991). Freddy in this movie look like a fish if you ask me, the make-up for Freddy is bad! I do like Jakie Earl Haley in this movie, his character is well written but he'll never be good as Robert Egland like Thomas Jane will always be the Punisher. This movie is bad but at least they tried. So this is my review on A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), I don't recommend it at all.Score: 3.5/10

This comes with a caveat: I've never seen any of the original Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I've never been a huge fan of the horror genre. I'm not opposed to the occasional horror movie, I'm just not a fanatic like some people are.Viewing it through that lens - as someone who had no preconceived notions of what it should be and who doesn't watch a ton of horror to begin with - I thought it was great. The action was nicely spaced throughout the movie, keeping the tension up without the deaths feeling too forced. It was not B movie buckets o' blood, but it didn't shy away from gore either. All in all, it looked very well produced. It was polished, entertaining and several times I found myself annoyed or sad because of what was going on in the movie. If you can draw me in enough for me to start feeling emotions for the characters, I think you've succeeded in making a good movie.I give it a 7/10 because it's not one of my favorite movies ever, but I'd certainly watch it again and recommend it to friends.
