Summary: ok
Review: this one is better than the 2nd movie, and about even with the 5th, but isn't that good of a movie if you have seen the other movie of this series

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was a really bad movie.

Summary: No Big Deal Here
Review: I watched this movie twice trying to find something to recommend it to hardcore Freddy Krueger fans, but I kept finding myself remembering New Nightmare, which was an excellent blend of terror, gore, and a clever plot by Wes Craven. That was a good movie; this is a mess, with good special effects (not at the end, though) leading the way in the lack of storyline, likable and original characters, and Freddy's patented mayhem and quotes. Even Krueger dying is no big deal. See the original if you want to be scared...see this one if you want to sigh repeatedly wishing it was better than most 80's slashers out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some of the best horror movie scenes ever!
Review: I watched this movie eight times already, and I'm gonna watch it again and again! It features some of the greatest scenes in horror film history, and also some wonderful characters. The cameo appearences (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Tom Arnold, Roseanne Barr) are superb and Robert Englund proves once again that it would be totally wrong to claim that it doesn't matter who is the actor behind Fred Krueger. The make-up effects by John Carl Buechler are bizarre and great, and the whole film is a treat from the beginning to the end. I just hope there'll be an original 3D-version on video soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 3-D masterpiece in the theaters.
Review: Freddy's Dead was the first in the series to move away from the on going story.Although that happened I enjoyed it emencly at the theatre. For my first 3-D movie I loved it , I give it two thumbs up.freddy was never better or funnyier.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Bad
Review: I don't give a flying wookie about what people say about this movie. I thought it was a good addition to the series. Although some people don't find it humourous I thought it had a nice mixture of humour & horror. Just how Freddy pays out the guy with the hearing aid & just the words he uses such as "Come On Spence, Let's Trip Out!". I didn't get to see this in cinemas so I didn't see a 3-d effect. Overall a cool, smooth cameo filled additon to series.

Summary: Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
Review: My word! I'll start off with the story. Basically Freddy has killed all the teenagers of Springwood, so he needs a new stomping ground. We then meet Freddy's previously un-heard of daughter, who works in a home for wayward teenagers. I think you know what happens. He kills some kids and then his daughter kills him. That's it!
Rachel Talalay takes the job of directing this pathetic attempt to kill off one of the biggest horror icons ever. Does she do a good job? Well, I'm sure my star rating say's it all.
The acting is awful. Not by everyone, mind you. The women who plays his daughter does an alright job and Yaphet Kotto, the guy who was in the first Alien film, is the only character who you actually quite like.
Let's talk about Freddy now. Well, what can I say? Mrs. Talalay actually made me not like him... I mean it! Okay, his wise-cracking antics were a bit O.T.T. from number 3 onwards, but this one really got on my nerves. In this one we had Freddy spouting lines like "Great graphics".
Next I'll talk about the deaths. Oh my god! What happened here? After viewing the deaths in this film, I'm not sure whether it was a comedy or what. They were atrocious! Only one was remotely 'Freddyish' (the one with the deaf kid).
Also, from a film that sets out to kill a big name, it does it in rubbish fashion. What an imagination the film makers had. 'Let's kill Freddy off by literally blowing him up!' I could have come up with a better death than that on the toilet! And also the 3-D...it looked absolutely dreadful. No ILM, put it that way.
I'm sorry, but Rachel Talalay should be ashamed of herself, she really should. I honestly do believe that this film is the reason why we had to wait so long to see Freddy back on the big screen in his original form (not including New Nightmare). I think that New Line Cinema were a bit reluctant to use him again, after this film bombed.
So, you have been warned. If it were up to me, this film wouldn't be a part of the Freddy story, but it is. And because I'm so loyal, I own it on video and DVD. But really, though, this film is diabolical.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It ain't over 'til it's over
Review: If ever there was an indicator that the 'Nightmare' franchise had run outta steam, 'Freddy's Dead' was it. The storyline was a bit too surreal and muddled, and wasn't always easy to follow. Freddy's array of "witty" one-liners were so corny and dated (e.g. references to those "Your brain on drugs" commercials and the original 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System), I found myself groaning at every other word that came outta his mouth. The Freddy-kills here were so over-the-top and cartoonish, I was half-expecting the Acme Co. to be prominently shown in the closing credits (sadly, Freddy couldn't find it within himself to kill off the characters played by Roseanne and Tom Arnold). And don't even get me started on the 3-D sequence (shown in 2-D on this platter, (un)fortunately), which featured visual effects that would've looked high-tech and halfway decent, had this movie been made about a decade earlier. And, like all the other 'Nightmare' flicks before this, 'Freddy's Dead' wasn't all that scary to me. I laughed, I cried, I kissed four bucks of DVD rental money goodbye. But fear and fright were nowhere to be found...

On the upside: despite the silliness of Freddy's kills, I found them rather entertaining, and the main reason why I decided to give this a view. I also liked checking out Freddy's back story, even though the parts of his past that they show are rather brief. Now if the screenwriters only had him take out Roseanne and Tom Arnold's characters in a really gruesome fashion, this bad-boy woulda' earned an extra star from me...

Special features on this disc include a theatrical trailer and English subtitles. The subtitles don't include every single line each character says, but they don't omit too much, either.

Summary: O...kay....this was a waste of an hour and a half...
Review: This is a great Freddy movie. Just one complaint. YOU DON'T DREAM WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN KNOCKED UNCONSCOUS!!!!! Being out-cold is not the same as sleep. In the movie John knockes himself out in order to confront Freddy. It just doesnt work that way. Being knocked out or comatose doesnt allow you to sleep or enter a rem state.
Therefor NO DREAMING!!!!
