If your being serious with this post i have to say your being way to judge mental this isnt the best freddy but its far from the worst its better then freddys dead an the remake this is an ok movie its the drama one of the series about abortion an teen pregnancy an what not the problems with this are there just isnt enough kills the film feels to life less there isnt enough going on because threes so few kills an because of that they focus on the drama which isnt what we really want to see from nightmare so it feels bland an because its drama about a pregnant teen it feels out of place for a slasher the film has a beautiful look an the dark tone is great but freddy has to many one liners here he goes from super dark to goof ball its like it cant decide but the story is very creative idea with baby dreams buts not used to the full extent the original script was better still not great but used the idea better it would have been a descent movie not good but descent as is its ok time waster

there are weak moments but it is still enjoyable to watch

IMHO the worst are
FREDDY
'S REVENGE,
FREDDY
'S DEAD,
FREDDY
VS
JASON
and the remake.

Ahh yes, I should've specified I wasn't including the remake. Yes the remake doesn't even feel like a Nightmare film. Totally agree.

I think the remake is the worst. Whether you like the previous films or not they're most certainly not boring and the remake is. It feels dull and lifeless. It's as though a vampire took the original film and drained all the life out of it then called it a remake.

I find Freddy's Dead the weakest to be honest, as it focused too much on comedy.
My ranking of the series:

1. Dream Warriors
2. Dream Master
3. New Nightmare
4. Original
5. Freddys Revenge
6. Remake
7. Freddy Vs Jason
8. Dream Child
9. Freddys Dead
   "Martyr me for Cordis Die."

Agreed, Englund was the only good thing here. It was super cheesy and not the slightest bit scary.
I also don't count the remakes when I measure them against one another, since the remakes were done so far after and will never seem like something easily comparable.

Having recently watched the films I'd have to agree that this one is the worst of the series (personally I don't include F vs J, or the remake). This one was the worst because it tried to be scary, but fell well short of the mark. There's usually something to appreciate in the ANOES films, but outside of Robert Englund's performance (as always) and some special effects there's really nothing here.
I actually enjoyed Freddy's Dead more. At least that film was aware it was off-the-rails and reveled in it. In terms of entertainment it was much more bearable to watch than Dream Child.
Having said that, I'm still not very fond of Freddy's Dead. Personally my bottom three ANOES films are 2, 5 and 6.

Most certainly not at least in my very humble opinion that honor goes to the still great and cool remake.
The remake is the weakest entry in the franchise but that doesn't mean I don't love it because I most certainly do love the film.
Elm Street 5 has a cool progression of it's predecessors plot and some cool ideas.

The worst is Freddy vs. Jason, the cast is horrendous in that and Jason is a complete goober.

Ahh yes, very good point! I never even thought of that. Good job noticing that. guess I need to watch them in a row or something, because I missed that one.

By far the biggest problem for me is reintroducing Amanda Krueger and her saying her body needed to be found to defeat Freddy when she never mentioned a damn thing about it in part 3. That seems like something she would have mentioned. I can handle continuity problems, but no shoehorning in past elements like that.
Haters gonna hate

Yes, you're right, those were certainly some of the better aspects of it. The tone was cool for sure.

But part 6 is by far the worst!? I didn't like this one, but to say that it's the worst is wrong imo. Part 6 is so cartoonishly horrible and weird.. Freddy is like Wile E. Coyote and the deaths are so bland. (Dropping pins down and scratching on chalkboard? The NES game?) the whole thing is a mess..

Yeah, Haley is a great actor. The problems were legion though. Bad script, bad casting, etc. etc.
I'll have to check out that Johnson trailer, thanks for the tip.

Very true, haha. The only thing I liked about the reboot was Jackie Earle Haley. I thought he was as good a replacement as was possible. But literally everything else fell apart for me in the reboot.
I wish Christopher Johnson could've gotten the job. (He has a trailer he made for his own reboot concept online. Check it out sometime.) Met him a few times and he's a great guy, and he had some cool ideas for where he wanted to take the reboot.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

We can agree on that for sure: I'd definitely say it was better than the reboot.

I actually admired this film moreso than most other people. True, the storyline and "rules" were out there, but I appreciated the effort to change it up a bit and go for more provocative themes, even when it didn't quite work. The fact that they were mindful enough of the original audience (who were beginning to get older and at the age where they were likely thinking about starting families themselves) also shows to me that this was an honest effort to keep the series "special" for the fans. Even if it didn't work. And I honestly found it to be arguably one of the most visually stunning and well-directed entries in the franchise. The "Death Cycle" (at least in its uncut form) was incredible, and while patchy and weird, the climax was very well constructed.
I think it's a very flawed film, but I appreciate it. And I definitely wouldn't call it the worst in the series by any stretch. I'd take this over the bizarro
Freddy's Dead
or the dreadful reboot any day of the week.

Naah, FINAL NIGHTMARE is worse. This should have ended the series.

Excellent way of putting it. It was the execution that fell totally flat.
