I wanted a lot more insight on Freddy when he was alive. Hayley is a good actor, but I didn't think the role was for him. Truthfully, I think they should have left it alone and not done this film. Added nothing to the original to me.

I haven't seen the original in a while, but didn't the mom tell Nancy that Freddy was a child molester? She then explained that they killed him, so he couldn't be coming after Nancy. If I remember correctly.

Ahh. I think you might be right. I think in the original he was a child killer...that seems right. Actually on IMDB it says he was a child murderer, so you're right. Coulda sworn I knew he molested kids before the newer one came out, maybe from something I read during development.
Still, I'd take the original any day of the week.

I wanted to hate this remake, but I have to be truthful and say I enjoyed it. I have the same issue with the original Nightmare that I did with Halloween. I respect the original for what it did, but watching it now it's just incredibly dull.
I like the back story of Freddy and learning more about the character. I feel he was a lot creepier in this since he was a child molester and he didn't crack so many corny jokes. I also enjoyed the many homages to the original.
The only real complaint I had was that it had too many jump scares. Other than that, I liked it a lot.

I thought they should have gone way deeper into Freddy's past, and instead they basically glossed over it. That was what had me excited to see it was that I'd learn Freddy's background. Like I said earlier, I just didn't think it added much to the original and didn't see the need to re-make it. Just me.

It was a re-imagining of the character and I liked it for that. In the original, you really didn't learn anything. His back story was what, 3 sentences long?
I just loved that this was a back to basics, no nonsense, creepy character instead of the caricature he became later in the original series.
