THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!!!

It kinda does, doesn't it? Oh well. They were still green and obviously didn't know what they were doing, and sadly that was reflective on screen. Sometimes "strike while the iron is hot" produces dastard results, and this was an example of that. Let's just be grateful that part 3 made up for the mess that was part 2 as best it could.

I concur that this movie is abysmally bad. It barely even has a story and is just a coalition of random scenes strung together and called a movie.

It has a weak connection to the first movie and on a petty note, Jesse's bedroom looks nothing like Nancy's.

Jesse's dad was thoroughly obnoxious throughout the whole movie.

Freddy's motivation is aimless & poorly defined here. He's mostly bark with very little bark and is at his all time weakest compared to the other movies. He couldn't really do anything for himself, other than spook, bully & manipulate Jesse into doing his bidding and when Jesse wouldn't cooperate 1/2 the time, that was it.

Too many things happened that don't make sense and overall it's a smörgåsbord of abstract nonsense, like exploding parakeets & mutant dogs. WTF?!

Freddy's "death" at the end was easily the worst of the series. The girl says "I love you" and that's it for him. Really???

Worst of all is that this movie has no "message" or satisfying conclusion.

The ONE thing I like about the movie is the opening sequence of Freddy driving the bus. I'll give credit where its due and say that THAT scene is easily in the top 5 most iconic moments of the entire ANOES series. I also give the movie credit for its tension. Despite being such a knotted mess of poppycock, somehow they manage to keep the atmosphere "tense" in a way that helps things. But that's about it.

Overall Freddy's Revenge is the epitome of a "bad sequel" cliche and should be shown to aspiring film makers and studio heads as a warning of what NOT to do when trying to follow up a hit movie.

'aerial mess'? Lay off your spellcheck, it makes you look stupid.

I think if you ignore that this is a sequel and take it in as a stand alone film, it's much easier to digest. It's when you try to make it fit in with the rest of the movies that it comes off as weird, out of step and sort of the red headed step child.

Freddy's Revenge is basically the "Khloe Kardashian" of the ANOES series.



THE TALK ASYLUM -
Coming in September!

Agreed! This crappy movie made next to no sense and had no theme or story continuity. It is like a run on sentence, with all sorts of spelling and structural flubs, that is badly in need of proofreading. A real decline from the brilliance of the original by Wes Craven and upstaged terribly by the much better made part 3. Nothing was developed to completion. Everything about it screams "first draft." An embarrassment. If not for the awesome Robert Englund doing the best he could with this rubbish, it wouldn't have ANY redeeming qualities.

Well this is just one out of a series of bad to horrible sequels.
I still prefer this one over the unscary "Dream Child" and the worst of them all IMO "Freddy's Dead". This one is at least atmospheric and dark.

Trying to find logic in this franchise though is pointless. These film's make no sense. Each sequel just finds a ridiculous reason to resurrect Freddy and each sequel has an even more ridiculous way of eliminating him (at least for that sequel). I still can't figure out how Freddy was defeated in "The Dream Master" by just looking in a mirror. Yeah.. ok.
