I think it was the lighting that made it like that, besides the minor gripe for the voice, I hope it's a great flick.

Meh. Honestly, I thought I could accept a new Krueger, I had an open mind but that trailer did nothing for me. It only made me yearn for Englund under the makeup. I'm sure that, much like every other PD production, this flick looks great from the marketing but it'll suck horrendously in theaters.
In fact, I know some people who are close to the production and they've said it's a piece of shit. One of the lead actors, can't remember who, wants to distance himself from the film as much as possible. I heard they were doing constant rewrites on set and nothing was working. I'm expecting another slick piece of crap a la F13th or TCM.

So what's with the "What do you think I did, I didn't do anything"-crying?
I thought he was a psycho. Is he innocent in this one?
And the Sean Connery voice. WTF?
Fuck that shit.

Ugh. Bad face, and horrible voice. But it did look slick. Opening his shirt to reveal the sweater was cool.

It looks more like a straight up, close to shot by shot remake than I was expecting. I thought it dealt more with the backstory. If they were going that route, why not get Englund?
I am very open to remakes, but seeing and hearing a new version of Freddy just irked me. I think I am going to have trouble with this one without Englund, but we will see.

I liked the trailer but I'm not too sure of that quick shot of the Krueger Makeup.

Looks good. I'm not sure, though. The TCM and Friday the 13 remakes were both alright. But nothing to get too excited over. The original TCM was good, mainly because of it's hectic, chaotic nature. I honestly don't even remember the first F13. That said, the original 'Nightmare' better, more substantial movie to begin with.
I didn't see any problems with Freddy's makeup. The old makeup had that bloody, gooey, 'fresh out of the oven' look, with some cut up flesh dangling. The new makeup makes me think of what a burn victim would look like after a few weeks. I dunno, that's just my take.

honestly, it looked pretty good until what seemed to be shot for shot recreations of scenes from the older movies (the girl possessed on bed (1), the kid party (2), the grating pipes scene (all). then, to not recognize Haley at all and finally the voice...didn't do much for me.

I don't know, that voice sounds like Sean Connery after a stroke.
But A Nightmare On Elm St. is my favorite slasher series, so I will see it just out of curiosity.

I'm already sold on Katie Cassidy being in this. I've enjoyed most of the Platinum Dunes horror films/remakes. Will definitely be seeing this.

I have this feeling like we are still going to see Englund back in this role at least one more time.

But let's wait and see the perforance and not act like those James Bond and Joker haters when the actors were announced.
