"It def has the serious vibe but so did the original. I REALLY liked this remake, but the original is far superior IMO. Although, everyone sees movies different and they are highly subjective so while I dont agree with you, I still respect your opinion "
I am glad you pointed out the seriousness of the original movie. We always hear so much about Freddy being such a comedian and too goofy of a bad guy. However, in both the original and the first sequel he was nothing like that at all. His actions in the first movie only took a comical edge in his perspective, and those things were done to show how disturbed he was.
Foe example, when he chases Tina, Freddy has her watch him cut his fingers off and see the green liquid spurt out while he laughed. Nothing funny about it, he was just trying to scare the crap out of her.
It actually wasn't until "The Dream Master" that Freddy became a comedian. There were hints of it in "Dream Warriors" but that still had a serious tone for the most part.
The new Freddy does not have the edge the old Freddy had because Englund's Freddy LOVED being a "dream demon" so to speak. The new Freddy was a whiny baby who lamented what he had become.12

Yeah it amazes me how much people think Freddy was always a comedian. He is anything but that in the first 2 movies. He is pure evil and not cracking one liners. He is scary as hell in the first 2.
About JEH as Freddy, I love the fact he made it his own and I like how they brought back the serious vibe. I know most did not like it but I thought it was pretty damn good.

This was boring and came off like new age crap. There's a reason why the original is a horror classic. This little brown ball will never be that.
