Summary: Quite possibly the best - behind the first of course
Review: One thing you will notice about Nightmare on Elm Street 3 when you first watch it is the effort that the makers of the movie put in to make such a good flick. Heather Langenkamp reprises her role as Nancy, the troubled teen in the first flick. The movie also stars pre-fame Patricia Arquette (Lost Highway) and Laurence Fishburne (Matrix). Nancy is now a psychologist and is helping a group of teens at a mental hospital who are all plagued by deadly nightmares of Freddy. The teens die off slowly and of course no one believes Nancy about the real reason behind the deaths. This is the first movie where Freddy uses the teenager's weaknesses against them. There are a lot of really elaborate and interesting death scenes and this is where the series got creative without turning Freddy into a comedian. The movie has great cinematograpy, great directing and great acting. If you were a fan of the first one, you will definetly fall in love with nightmare on Elm Street 3.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This should have been the 2nd one!
Review: I am a big "Nightmare on Elm Street" fan, and this movie exceeded my expectations. I was thinking it was just going to be another bad sequel but, on the contrary this movie is good. Robert Englund does once again an outstanding job at being Freddie Kruegger. I was actually kind of jumpy when I was watching this movie, and that's unusual for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Forget about the 2nd the 3rd is where number one left off!!!
Review: I seen Nightmare On Elm Street when I was about 5 years old. Though I didn't see all of the sequels in order. I saw 'Wes Cravens New Nightmare'first Then I started to watch all the other sequels. When I saw Nightmare On Elm Street 2 the movie didn't seem to fit in and so I thought it was the newest sequel. But I soon found out that it was the sequel to the first one! I didn't like the sequel because it was so fake and it didn't have nothing to do with the first one. Now 'Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors' was the real sequel. It brings back character Nancy Thompson (Heather Lathenkamp) her father (John Saxon) and of course FREDDY (Robert Englund) The Trilogy is the best one I loved it. Newcomers are Kristen (Patricia Arquette 'stigmata') Kincaid and Joey. As the movie goes on more surprises come along. I GUARENTEE THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE!!!!!'

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Now this is a sequel

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE TRUE SEQUEL...
Review: FORGET ABOUT THE 2NSD MOVIE AND JUMP TO THE DREAM WARRIORS-THIS IS HOW THE 2ND MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. HEATHER LANGENKAMP RETURNS TO HELP OTHER ELM STREET KIDDIES OVERCOME THEIR DEATH DREAMS OF FREDDY (WHO IS AGAIN PLAYED BY THE BRILLANT ROBERT ENGLUND) AND THE SPECIAL EFFECTS IN THIS MOVIE ARE EXCELLENT. SEEING THAT KID TURN IN TO A HUGE COCKROACH IN THE ROACH MOTEL WAS A SCREAM, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HATE OR AFRAID OF BUGS TO BEGIN WITH. HAVING DOKKEN DOING THE THEME SONG OF DREAM WARRIORS WAS GREAT. I THINK DOKKEN AND FREDDY GO ALONG JUST GREAT. THIS IS WHAT SEQUELS ARE ALL ABOUT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "All the little piggies've come home." - Freddy
Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 : Dream Warriors takes a turn for the ultimate best after A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 : Freddy's Revenge. Nancy has returned to help the remaining Elm Street kids to defeat the utmost evil, Freddy Krueger. The Elm Street kids are now in a psychiatric ward and are being treated for all types of sleep disorders. And noone will believe them until Nancy shows up. There are 3 very interesting concepts introduced into the NOES series.

1. Kristin, played by Patricia Arquette, is one of the newest patients at the ward. She has the ability to pull people into her dreams by calling out their names. They could've overused this technique and made it annoying, but it wasn't overused. Thus it worked wonderfully.

2. The term "Dream Warriors" is efficient in the movie. It desribes how each kid had a special power or talent they could only use in their dream. They would later use their special powers or talent to try and defeat Freddy. This also was not overused, and for most of them, their powers or talents worked against them. The director made the best of all of them though, and it was great.

3. Each kid also had a weak spot. Such as Taryn, played by Jennifer Rubins, was a recovering heroin addict and Joey, played by Rodney Eastman, was mute. NOES3 is the first Nightmare where Freddy begins to use the kids' weaknesses against them.

Each of these concepts were used in the best way possible, and I give mucho kudos to director Chuck Russel for bringing these concepts into the series. Wes Craven also helped in writing the script for this one.

The cast has some pretty well-known faces in it also. Patricia Arquette plays the Kristin, she who wields the power of bring people into her dreams. This lady can scream, and she can also act very well. Heather Langenkamp makes her return to the series, and always brightens up the room with her great smile. John Saxon, who is Nancy's father and was in Nightmare 1, also returns. Laurence Fishburne has a very small role, but has a decent amount of screentime.

In conclusion, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 : Dream Warriors is one the best entries of the Nightmare series.

Summary: I liked horrible stuff when I was 11!
Review: Remember when you were a kid and you had a favorite horror movie? That one movie that not only scared you to death but also fascinated you with its story and the characters it brought to life? For me that movie was A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 and I recently decided to revisit an old friend when I saw the film had been released on dvd. Sadly, when you view something through the eyes of an adult, it looks quite different than it did through the eyes of a child.

The movie brings Freddie Kreuger back to the dreams of scared teenagers, and I know from now on I will have nightmares, but not for the same reason I did as a kid. When I was 11 and this first came out I had nightmares of freddy chasing me and trying to kill me, now my nightmares will only consist of me waving bye to about 20 dollars in exchange for a lame lame dvd. The acting ranges from decent [John Saxton] to utterly horrible [heather Langenkamp] with most of it falling somewhere in between the two. The dvd offers both a widescreen and a pan and scan version, and the picture is decent, but nothing to marvel at by any means. Sound is acceptable as well but again, nothing to use when showing off the home theater to your friends. If you're looking for a good horror movie let me reccommend the original Halloween instead. It's a much better and scarier film, especially through the eyes of an adult...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 1,2 Freddy is coming for YOU!!!
Review: Fellow survivor Nancy Thompson(HeatherLagenkamp)helps out a bunch of teens from the dream killer himself Freddy Kruger(RobertEnglund).I would say this film is for 14 and up due to language,brief nudity,and violence.This is only a dream right or is it one big nightmare?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the best Freddy films
Review: While the entire "Nightmare" series varies in quality, this movie is definitely in the top three (along with the other ones Craven had a hand in) Our heroine Nancy returns, along with other fabulous actors like Patricia Arquette.

A big reason why this series is so cool is that not only are they terrifying, but they deal with emotions. You see how families are affected and how psychologically damaging dreams can actually be.

This is an all around great movie, save for a few cheesy parts (the topless nurse- was that REALLY needed? I think not) and worth your time if your a horror movie fan. Also, the DVD transfer is great, and looks and sounds like a brand new movie!
