Lammastide said: This is by no means a problem specific to the horror genre, but what is up with the tide of remakes and rehashed character treatments?
Whatever happened to orginal thinking in filmmaking??!?!? Hollywood feels they'll make more money with remakes and never ending franchises. Unfortunately they just wind up ruining everything. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

I have a lot of complaints about this movie, but I don't regret seeing it in the theater. It was a like a tradition. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

You think 4 was the best? No way in my opinion. The first was the best, then the second, third, and so on. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Well it was always my favorite one. I still watch it every now and then. I think 1 was the scariest 1, Johnny Depp was 2 cute in that movie | |

I just saw the movie. While I can't say it was great, it was somewhat fun, I have to admit. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

A lot of people don't like the second one, but I thought it was awesome. It was real dark and fucked up. When Freddy stabbed that fat kid by the pool, I was like "Oh shit!" That was a vicious shot. Freddy was one evil mo fo in that movie. That's the freddy they should have kept throughout the series. No silly jokes, just pure sinister evil.

You gotta understand, I write and direct so I'm naturally gonna be overly critical of shit. But it just annoys me cuz I grew up on these movies and I just had to watch each sequel get dumber and dumber. It's like someone taking a Picasso and painting extra features on it cuz it seems cool.

Well, Freddy basically tells his story directly to the audience. God how dumb. There was too much explaining in this movie. Just let the story explain itself without everyone giving it away verbally. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Remind me not to work with you in the future then I think the movie was meant to be a FUN, scarey, gore filled movie not anything else...I mean, besides the conflictng reviews btwn me and you Evil, lets face the facts, it's still gonna make a good piece of money! & | |

I know it was meant to be fun, gory, action packed, funny, etc. Bit that's what I hate about it. The movie would have made just as much money if they kept it serious and with a good script.

Evil, I generally have to side with you here. But I think you set yourself up a bit more than me to be let down. Both these franchises have been irreparably dumb for over a decade. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Question, EWM, would this movie have looked like if it were "good," in your opinion.(i.e., if you were hired to write, produce and direct) Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I totally agree, and I didn't expect a masterpiece before entering the theater. But it still bothers me when a classic character and concept is constantly being destroyed. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Are you asking what it would be like, or would it be good? "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

They just don't know how 2 make scary movies anymore,whatever happened 2 the real scary movies, I'm mad at the simple fact they turned Freddy in2 a comedian when he was originally supposed 2 be a evil spirit coming back in revenge, boy did the movie makers screw that up next thing you know , Freddy will be making friends with some of the people he was originally trying 2 seek revenge on, if they keep the comedy thing up. I want to see a real horror flick, if I wanted comedy I would go see Jay and Silent bob ... | |
