Summary: Tries to be thrilling but fails
Review: Part 2 of the Nighmare On Elmstreet series was not entertaining. The movie starts out fine with Freddy trying to scare the young man Jesse in his dreams, but the movie gets out of line. Freddy then starts to possess Jesse's body out of nowhere, and later Freddy comes into the world and even dissapers again, and the movie get's real confusing. It tries to scare the audience but too many things did not make sense in the movie as it sarts too get boring very rapidly. It had some gruesome scenes that seemed more gross that spine-chilling, at least to me. Luckily Wes Craven got involved in Part 3 which should have been part 2. This movie does not even relate to the rest of the other Nighymare movies. Avoid at all costs, the movies a joke.

Summary: A Disgusting film that is a mess.
Review: NOES 2 is a big mess. The acting is horrible, it's a disgusting flick that is isolated away from the rest of the series. Nothing in this movie is explained, specifically of how Freddy can posses a body all of a sudden. It tries to be scary but the movie has to many polt holes which does not make the viewer all that scared. What a joke is movie is.

Summary: BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I recently watched this movie, i tried so hard to like it but i just couldn't, the acting was bad, plot was bad, EVERYTHING about the movie was bad, who ever made this movie should be punished, it just really sucked, Freddy should have just been stalking the kid instead of possessing him, and at the end where Freddy crashed the party it just got confusing because you weren't sure if he was in the real world or dream world, and some how, if he was in the real world, which im sure he was he could dissapear into thin air, it was just ridiculous, i say skip 2 and go straight to dream warriors, please, im begging you to not watch this movie, it was worse then the dream child (part 5)

Summary: Leave this film alone.
Review: This film is a scary movie. I've seen movies that couldn't scare an infant, The Ring, and I have to say that this is taking too much heat. What is wrong with it? I don't see any problem with it. When do you watch a horror movie for the acting or story? You watch horror movies to see jumps, scares, gore, sex, drugs, nudity, and especially a sick sense of humor that when you think about it when you laugh, you feel like you must be the most evil person ever. ... I don't care if a horror movie has bad acting, the acting should make you just want to watch to see their fate. I want enough to get the the scares, gratuitous nudity, drugs, sex, and gore. I don't care if the story is Citizen Kane, horror movies are meant for people to just shut their brains down and watch something that they can talk with their friends about later. A popcorn movie. Enjoy this MASTERPIECE because one day this film will be out of print. Hurry!

Summary: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
Review: I think that out of all the Freddy films, this is the most miss-understood. It is a very dark tale and it manages to stand on its own two feet. It is a sequel to the 1984 original, but it doesn't really follow the story religiously, which is good in my opinion. It's really a stand-alone Freddy film.
The story concerns a young teenage boy and his family, who move into the famous 'Freddy' house. Once snug in his bed he begins to have horrifying nightmares of a burnt madman, who states that he wants to take over Jesse's (that's the boy's name) body, so he can continue his reign of terror in the real world. Jesse resist's, along with several deaths, until Freddy finally gets his own way at the end of the film, and makes his way to a pool party where he proceeds to slice and dice the young clientele.
Also, which I'm sure many people, including myself until it was brought to my attention, have mist, this film also contains a profound subtext. That subtext revolves around sexuality, more importantly, homosexuality. Firstly the lead hero is exactly that, a hero. Not a heroine, as it usually is in horror films. Jesse always states that 'something is trying to come out of me', obviously that something is Freddy but it could also be a metaphor. I know this sounds absurd, but maybe Freddy embodies his sexuality. Also, the actor who plays Jesse looks quite feminine. This whole film could just be about Jesse trying to find out what he really is. Apart from this, though, one of the deaths helps to prove my point, too. You will know which one when you see it.
Another good thing is that Freddy is still quite dark here. He's heard cracking a few jokes, but not many. This film is also full of striking visual moments. A bus ride that goes straight to hell, demonic dogs with human faces and the highlight of the film is when Freddy, literally, rips out of Jesse's body. Great stuff.
So, all in all, don't believe all the negative comments surrounding this film. Watch it with an open mind. I'm sure you'll find something about it you like.

Summary: the second ( social bottom) in the movie
Review: I saw this movie almost nine years ago and I must admit I still like it, although it is not a good movie, but only quite a good horror(I think that average horror fan should see it just to have its own opinion; I heard it was qite a big hit at times). But lastly I discovered the second bottom, the conception that could have been the matrix for the screenwriter. What I mean is homosexual plot, maybe some kind of romance between Jessie and Grady, that we can observe between the lines. There's something between this two ( they do a funny jokes to each other, when one is sad the second wants to take him to the cinema etc.). You will probably ask for a girl... well... I think that at the beginning her financial status is the thing that Jessie loves. But then something interesting happens. Jessie seems to really fall in love with Lisa and because of this his homosexual tendences transform into something wicked. The screenwriter calls it Freddy Krueger and it's the force that firstly the deepest parts of Jessie's mind can control ( e.g. when he claps his sadistic teacher's butt by the towels). At the party when the Jessie's and Lisa's romance has its apogeum something breaks in Jessie(maybe his wicked side wants to break with the homosexual past by killing his ex-lover?). Unfourtunately he loses control of the dark element and it comes out. In the end only the woman love can save him, but his homosexual tnedences will never disappear, they only can be mildened. Well, of course there couldn't be any indecent scenes bacauese this story lies between the frames of horror form.

Summary: Freddy's Revenge- My favorite sequel-besides dream warriors
Review: Many people feel that A nightmare on Elm Street 2 is a bad sequel to the great original and one of the worst Freddy Krueger movies altogether. Well, for some reason I like Freddy's Revenge more than A Nightmare on Elm Street part 4,5,6(Freddy's Dead)and 7(New Nightmare)for a number of reasons. I like part 2 because it primarily focuses one character Jesse, who just moved into Nancy's house which has not been lived in for five years. Jesse is a regular high school student who has a girlfriend Lisa(Kim Myers) and a best friend Grady(Robert Rusler) but he is living on Elm Street and is tormented by Freddy in his dreams. He has visions of him in the boiler room. He soon begins to learn he is turning into Freddy. Lisa must help Jesse fight Freddy's body invasion or he will become just another one of the elm street kids that are Freddy's slaves!

Summary: Somebody took a wrong turn on the way to Elm Street
Review: I view A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge as an unfortunate aberration in the Nightmare series, a film which takes the storyline down a complete dead end. While the movie can be entertaining at times, it's best to just ignore everything that happens here in terms of the overall development of the Freddy Krueger legend. Wes Craven is not associated with this sequel in any way, and it shows. This was a rush job; the original film was a surprising smash hit, and movie executives wanted a second Freddy film out there as soon as possible in order to profit from the new Freddy fan base. Judged solely on its own, Freddy's Revenge isn't that bad, giving us a few good Freddy moments and supplying a few good (albeit not completely satisfying) deaths, but it just doesn't hold water in comparison to the other films of the series. Five years after the events chronicled in the original film, a new family has moved into the old Thompson house on Elm Street. The annoying father continually insists the house is fine, despite the fact that the house has a tendency to become unbearably hot at night, birds spontaneously combust, etc.. Jessie, the teenaged son of the house, immediately begins having scary dreams, waking up screaming and sweating every night. In these dreams, Freddy makes contact with him and asks him to kill for him. For some reason, Freddy needs a human vehicle in order to make his big comeback. It is most unfortunate that he ends up with Jessie as his candidate, given the fact that Jessie is an incredibly weak, annoying sissy of a man. Anyway, Jessie's dreams become more and more disconcerting, and when a certain teacher turns up dead, he begins to fear that he is actually the killer; this leads directly to a sickening amount of teen angst on Jessie's part which the audience has to endure. His girlfriend Linda is very understanding of this crazy state of events and goes far beyond the call of duty in trying to help Jessie. The histrionics of the final climactic scene make for hard viewing of a campy and far too emotional type, but luckily we are able to fall back for support on our memories of Freddy's just-completed party crashing antics (one poor slob's attempt to reason with Freddy is something not to be missed). I really do not care for the ending of this movie at all, as it goes beyond sentimentality and crosses the line into lameness. The very idea of Freddy suddenly needing to seize control of a human body in order to return to his work is rather silly and inconsistent with the overall development of the character and, to my mind, does Freddy a great injustice. I'm afraid I rolled my eyes far more often than I pumped my fists as I was watching this movie, and that is something that should never happen when watching Freddy Krueger work his magic. The DVD, I should add in closing, contains a minimum of special features and offers no commentary whatsoever, which is disappointing.
