Summary: Solid Sequel
Review: Reaction to this movie goes from one extreme to the other. Bad to good. When the first one ends you are left with such a feeling of awe that nothing can compare. So with any sequel, you shouldn't expect better than the original, because not a lot is going to hit you out of nowhere, especially in a slasher. They become so typical. So with ANOES 2 you get a very dark movie, that has a still dark Freddy haunting the new tenants of that house on Elm St. He begins to haunt a teenage boy now living in that house, and eventually drvies the boy straight up the wall. Friends die, and fingers are pointed, and mostly at our acne-faced friend whom Freddy wants to take under his wing. As the boy tries fending off Freddy, he becomes edgy and paranoid. Freddy takes control of him, and it all comes down to how much longer the boy can fight off Freddy. This movie had the courage to stand next to a great, great movie, and to pave the way for more sequels. It deserves respect just for that. Personally I feel that the other sequels pale in comparison, and Freddy just isn't the same after the first 2. Watch this in the same manner of the first. With an open mind, and no expectations. That is the key to most sequels to me. And trying not to get too excited so that there is no chance for a let down. This is a good entry in the ANOES series.

Summary: Not a good sequel
Review: This film is dissapointing coming of a spectacular 1st film. Freddy is still a dark character, just doesn't have what other sequels have, but still is very watchable

Summary: The second best!
Review: For me, this one ranks behind Nightmare 1 as the absolute best in the series. This one has some classical Krueger-cliches. And some great and memorable FX. The story pretty much starts off with a bus ride in the Nightmare Desert as I like to call it, which is a great setting for the series. In that opening scene we meet Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton). We get a glimpse of Freddy and it all wraps up into a hellishly perfect horror opening..very scary. Jesse takes us threw the rest of the flick, as we meet his parents, his father is the great Clu Gulager from Return of the Living Dead, and we also meet his little daughter who plays a quite pivotal role in the film, due to the hilarious bird scene and the infamous jump-rope song she performs. Jesse is invited to a party by his girlfriend Lisa, who's scurrying for information on Freddy's history. Jesse and Lisa have a steamy sequence which ends with a memorable Freddy-tongue sequence, those are always classic! And he runs off to Grady's house, a friend who couldn't attend the party because he was grounded for pushing his grandmother down the stairs. Grady's portrayed by one of my favorite horror stars, Robert Rusler, who also plays A.J. in the 1986 vampire-feast Vamp, and co-stars with Robert Downey Jr. as a couple of bullies in Weird Science. Jesse hangs at Grady's for a bit. Then suddenly, one of the best moments in Nightmare On Elm Street history happens when Freddy bursts threw Jesse's body to kill Robert Rusler, in perhaps the best death of the film. The special effects here are earth-shattering! Freddy ends up terrorizing party-goers in the infamous and controversial pool scene, which has recieved positive and negative comments, I personally think its a slasher tour de force! The finale finds Lisa at Freddy's old work place, where she confronts him and gets Jesse back. And they all live happily ever after...right? Well, too bad, this is a horror movie, and it ends with Freddy bursting threw a chest in a ending that's equal to that of Nightmare 1. I find Nightmare 2 to be a grand horror film, that I almost rank with the original Wes Craven classic. After all, these are all classics nowadays.

Summary: Waste of money, time, and a sequal to a great movie
Review: Man, I couldn't believe this film. It was pretty twisted (eg. a naked man being whipped to death in a shower) and instead of making it scary....it made it really gory. The first nightmare was so good! But this..... no good to the series at all. Give it a miss........

Summary: Plotless dreck
Review: THis film is overall pretty good but some scenes ae just pathetic. The school bus scene is hilarious. But then there was that stupid part where the kid's room starts melting or that part where he wonders off to the bar in his undies and gets caught by that stupid coach who drags him to school and makes him do LAPS????? no plot here. You can tell Wes Craven had nothing to do with this.

Summary: Good, but some parts didn't fit
Review: Surprisingly enough, I liked this sequel to a much much better movie. You can't really take horror sequels too seriously, and this movie is proof of that. It definetly takes you on a different twist compared to Nancy's story in the original. Basically, a teenager and his family move into Nancy's house 5 years after the "incident" and weird things start to happen (Birds spontaneously combust) and of course the star of the movie starts having Freddy dreams. But in contrast to the original, Freddy starts to take over this boy's body, and well, I don't want to spoil it for you. It is a pretty well mapped out movie. There is tons of gore, even the kind that makes you cringe a little bit. Freddy kind of stays in the shadows and eventually pulls into real-life, which is the problem, he just starts to pop up in real-life without any explanation, kind of inane. Oh well. Still a good movie, I suggest you go to your local video store and rent it if you haven't seen it.

Summary: An okay, but somewhat ludicrous attempt
Review: This is, without a doubt, the worst entry in the entire "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, and considering I still give it a three-star rating, that must tell you something. The "Nightmare" series is one of the best in the entire horror genre, only surpassed by "Halloween," in my mind. But anyway, this film was good simply because it stuck with the original ideals that Wes Craven set into place: Freddy is not a joker. He doesn't screw around, which is eventually the direction that the rest of the series took. The rest of the series made Freddy a character instead of an idea, which is why number four, while it was still a stylish and entertaining thriller, did not have the Freddy-punch it needed to make it a true horror film. Freddy is a merciless guy in this film. He takes no prisoners, which is the reason I still like this movie even with that terrible, awful, repugnant ending.

Summary: Pas terrible!
Review: This one sucked. The plot and actors were bad, and didn't follow Wes's rules about the dreaming bit.
