Like a lot of people I used to prefer Dream Warriors over Dream Master, but as I've grown to enjoy the series as a whole more and more over time I find myself with a newfound appreciation for Part 4. It's the sequel that has the most fun within itself and is so visually captivating as well.
The more I watch it, the more I find to enjoy and by this point I would consider it my favorite of all the sequels. So no, you are definitely not alone. -

I understand where you are coming from.
I think part 4 is more fun to watch, but when it comes to creepiness and scariness, I say 3 beats it, and that's what I want when it comes to horror movies.
3 also had great actors (Patricia Arquette and Laurence Fishburne) and old characters, Nancy and her dad, return. Also, the Psychiatric Hospital is a scary setting. Someone said the people in part 4 were more interesting, but I disagree. You had Taryn, Will, Kincaid, etc and some of the most memorable deaths. Jennifer and the TV and Philip's marionette puppet death!
I would say 4 is a very strong sequel, but 3 is still my favorite movie. Maybe even better than one. But it's just my opinion. -

4 is more likable an fun an has a better lead character alice is better developed then an more interesting then either nancy or kristen in 3 but 3 is the more solid movie because the characters in 3 have a bite more depth an are slightly more interesting an the film has a better horror feel freddys death in 4 is better then the one in 3 but his death in 3 is slightly better story wise as a horror film 3 wins with a slight edge although 4 is a totally different film 4 feels like a horror comedy comic film action

Hi Nateaguerra i felt the same as you before i don't hate part 4 as much as i did before but the reason why i wasn't a fan of it when i first saw it was cause i love Dream Warriors so much its my Fav Nightmare on Elm Street Film and when there wiped out in part 4 it was as Rodney Eastman said it felt like a cheap trick i always felt they should have only had Kristen bite the dust then her Powers goes to Alice then you would have Joey Kincaid Rick and Alice as The Dream Masters.

I love both of them. Part 3 has the better story, writing, characters, and more creative death sequences. But Part 4 is one of the most entertaining of the series. It's just a fun film all the way around. Other than the remake there is no Nightmare on Elm Street film I dislike.

Both are great, but I narrowly prefer part 3 for its tension and suspense. Part 4 seems like it was inspired by the Die Hard/Lethal Weapon types of films that were happening at that time and played more into 'action,' which was fine. Again, both are great.

Part 3 is better, mostly for the better plot and I love the hospital setting as well. 4 on the other hand has the better heroine, better soundtrack and better ending, so its a close call between the two of them.

Part 4 is my favorite sequel. Everyone seems to love part 3 the most but I've never been that big of a fan of part 3.

Ultimately, I like "Dream Warriors" better. It really opened up the world for what potential the dreamers had to combat Freddy, it developed Freddy in more ways that made him even more vile than sympathetic and, even though this is where they started going overboard with the "zingers", this is where he started becoming the most evil.
"The Dream Master" adds one of the best characters in the whole franchise - Alice - has an incredible soundtrack that holds up and the makeup work set a standard for what could be accomplished in legit horror cinema (something "Hellhound: Hellraiser II" further strengthened).
