I feel sorry for the fact that you are putting the dreadful 5th and 6th movies above this.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.

Part 5 is the most boring, but it still has more story logic than this movie.

Part 5 is easily the worst.

Agree. The movie actually becomes a little more interesting when it's Freddy vs. Lisawhich is what it SHOULD have been from the beginning. It's obvious she (and Grady) were "Elm Street children". Making this focal point of the movie about Jesse was its biggest mistake.

There wouldn't have been a movie if Nancy had been there because she would have taken Krueger down in the first twenty minutes. Any of the series protagonists (Nancy, Kristen, Alice, Maggie, Laurie) would have easily beat Freddy Revenge Freddy because he was all bluster.

Nancy wouldn't have been able to make heads or tails of the inaccurate Krueger that "possessed" this movie. She would've been as big as waste in this as Fred was.

Nancy should have been there. That's why pt 3 feels like the real 1st sequel. Even if all the clumsy and illogical things remained, i think Nancy being there would've added enough familiarity to make those things not so off putting.

However, Robert was at his best here, not including the original and New Nightmare!

The problem with this movie is that Jack Sholder and David Chaskin are both hacks who NLC hired for the sake of cost effectiveness. In more capable hands, the plot here may have been salvageable and perhaps not so disconnected from what part one established, but these two had no sense of east and west and it shows on screen. They were trying to turn an rough draft script that cried for a rewrite into a movie. The actors look frustrated and inconvenienced. Half the reason Freddy is so pokerfaced in this movie is because Englund was irritated. The whole thing was mediocre. Just imagine what this could have been had Craven returned.

True. I'll watch this movie 10 times in a row before I sit through that ghastly 2010 remake (or through the new remake that they're supposedly pondering) again.

It was bad but the 2010 version was way worse

I agree too!
She's a real carpenter's dream "Flat as a board and needs a screw"

That's alright. It's your opinion and you're more than entitled to it. Personally i can't see how anyone can like 3. It's cheesy and so dated. The lines are cringeworthy. I'm so glad they didn't end it there.
Got to agree with FD. That was awful and not even funny in the slightest. New Nightmare? That was a masterpiece

How the hell anybody can like 4-6 more than part 2 is beyond me! Especially, part 6. What a steaming pile of crap that is. New Nightmare sucks butt too! They should have ended the series with part 3.

I'm actually with you. I don't like Dream Warriors at all. It was good until Kristen second dream,then it goes downhill from there. Nancy looks terrible in that one. It wasn't worth bringing her back. It has such cheesy lines ("In my dreams I'm the wizard master!", gimmie a break), it's so dated and becomes more like Captain Planet and the Planeteers. It's seems far less a threat when it's all these kids at once against Freddy. And Nancy's death was the stupidest ever. She really believed Freddy was dead just because the mirrors broke? Yeah right. Freddy'd Dead and 3 are the worst for me.

But serious =/= scary.

No sir, that is not a "fact." It's an opinion; a biased and speculative one, based on what you choose to see and want to think. What is a FACT is that ANOES3 is and has always been an overall better reviewed and received movie than ANOES2, and that Fred was written to be more organized and forceful in it than in the latter. All this spiel you're babbling on about what is "vast minority," "MTV" and "hip" is futile and doesn't mean anything. Fred was more serious in the second movie. Sure. Who denied that? But serious =/= scary. My position stands: Fred is scariest when he is his most self-sustained and powerful, and for all of his "seriousness" those are traits that he tends to lack in ANOES2, which renders him less scary in it.

You are both in the vast minority in regards to Freddy, and thats a fact. Freddy was a lot darker, more sinister, had better make up and was used more effectively in part 2. Part 3 was the beginning of a slippy downhill slope where Freddy was becoming more "hip" and "MTV" which is what Dream Warriors started.
Even a lot fans of Dream Warriors who also dislike Freddy's Revenge realise that freddy was a lot more serious and creepy in part 2 than he was in part 3.

^ Thank you. Some people wanting to pretend that Krueger is alpha in this movie, just because his personality was tempered, is odd. He was sluggish, couldn't do anything for himself and practically spineless. This is why he is absolutely scarier in part three - one liners and all. He wasn't requesting anybody's assistance, could do just about anything and his prey little chance of escaping him. If he had his eye on you, you were pretty much toast. His threat was real.
In part two, if you were lucky enough to just not be standing in his way or could run fast enough, you had a reasonable chance of survival. So yeah, he was 2x scarier there than he is here. Dream Warriors Krueger makes Revenge Krueger look like a joke.

Freddy is not his scariest in this movie. Freddy is scariest when he's at his most efficient and that is not the case in this particular installment. Here he's all bluster with little actual capability and is weaker than he was in any of them. Even in Freddy vs. Jason, he does a better job of manipulating Vorhees into killing for him and generating fear on his behalf than he does in this. However one feels about the jokes & one-liners that started becoming more apparent in the next movie, there is no denying that the Krueger of part three was much more clever and proficient there than he is here. This movie is all smoke & mirrors. It tries to hide behind darkness to mask not knowing what to do with Freddy or how to properly use him.
