I agree with you completely. You can replace Jason and Michael, but you can’t replace Freddy. No one can ever do Freddy as well as Robert Englund. He is Freddy! This is very disappointing and I’m sure it will be no match for the originals.

The way I see it, how many times has Englund done Freddy? No matter what they could come up with now would just be another Freddy movie. I don’t think they could top what they have done. With someone else being Freddy, it’s going to be like watching the movie for the first time all over again. It now has a mysterious appeal to it for me. Plus it is going to be kind of creepy to see someone else play Freddy in full makeup! I can’t wait.

The scene where he cracks up was pretty much the only impressive bit of acting in the film.

One of the greatest moments in the Watchmen film (apart from the amzing opening montage) was the moment where Rorschach momentarily cracks while begging Dr Manhattan to kill him. After being a hard-ass the whole movie, JEH embedded him with a sliver of humanity that really rounded him as a character, and gave an insight into what was perhaps his tre nature.

Although a direct lift from the graphic novel, it was a brilliant piece of acting by JEH, and really cemented him as someone to watch. Personally, I think he is going to knock Freddy right out of the park. Its been prbly ten years since I’ve watched a Nightmare on Elm Street movie, but JEH’s inclusion will get me through the door for this one.

You did not disprove my point. My point is that just because you think nobody else could play a certain role but a certain person is pure ignorance. That’s all. Any role for any character in any movie could, will or has been done better by somebody else sometime. Well, unless the world ends before it happens.

no jack nicholson was a take on a character already established in comics and t.v.
not particularly great one either.

the freddy kruger character that wound up one the screen was created by craven AND englund specifically for the movie.

huuuuggggeeee difference

Wholeheartedly agree… this guy can be downright creepy on-screen. I LOVED the first few elm st movies and believe JEH can pull off Freddy.

I’m not for or against reboots but the people in charge of the reboot seem to be making good decisions I do get excited. Give me more reboots like Batman and Star Trek!

Perfect casting for Freddy
