| A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 - 6 MINI REVIEWS OF INSTALLMENTS 2 THROUGH 6 Freddy's Revenge: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 3.5 Cheeses After the succes of NOES , the producers tried something different. Most people find this installment of the series to suck but I find it, a refreshing change of plot from the rest of the series. Instead of just killing people in their dreams Freddy, tries to posses the main character, Jesse, and bring himself into the real world. The worst thing about NOES 2 is that the main character is pretty much gay. the director denies it but when your main character goes to a gay bar and meets his gym teacher, you know something is up. One of the better in the series overall. A Nightmare on Elm Streeet 3: Dream Warriors 4 Cheeses This is my personal favorite in the series. It goes back to the original plot with Nancy, but this time she's trying to help the kids at a mental institution fight Freddy. Still managed to be somewhat suspenceful at points and had some really cool scens. Like the part when Freddy rips out all the veins in a guys bosy and uses him as a puppet. Also It starts the trend carried on by the next few of each person having induvidualized nightmare according to their persona. The people also realize that they can control their dreams and fight Freddy. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master 2.5 Cheeses An equation for NOES 4 would be this NOES 3 - Originaity - Nancy - Wes Craven - Quality = NOES 4 The really only good thing is that they broguht back all the living characters from NOES 3 and then promptly killed them off. The special effects were ok too. Worst of all this is the installment where Freddy decides to become a comedian. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child 2 Cheeses Take NOES 4 and add a baby, characters that suck, and a more annoying Freddy. I hated all the character is this one, except the comic book guy, who I enjoyed whe he fought Freddy, and then died. for Elm Street purists only. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare 2D version: 2.5 Cheeses 3D version: Yes this movie has a 3D version that comes with the NOES DVD box set. It gets extra points because the 3D is so bad, it's funny. This one is better becasue even though Freddy stopped trying to be scary in NOES 3, he's actually amusing in this one. He has death by hearing aid, video game, and bed of nails. It's rather amusing. As all the haracters are so badly acted and stupid you actually like them. For some reason this movie is one of thos "so bad it's good" movies. It also goes into Freddy's mind and shows him as a person. But unfourtunatly it decides to show how Freddy gets his power, from dream demons. It's so bad, but in 3-D they're funny. Aside from those the special effects in this one are some of the best in the series So if you have to see this installment, make sure it's the 3-D version. |
