Let's start by saying that this movie is bad, like really bad.

I liked the opening scene, it is creative and well done. The script is terrible, the central idea has some potential (although I don't really like possession movies) but it just fails delivering anything with at least a mediocre quality. The characters are not interesting and their conversations are boring.

This film decides to break all the rules established in the first movie. Freddy is supposed to have power only in the dreams, so here they decided to brought him to the real world just to starts killing random people with his claws. The best aspect of the original film is its central plot, which is utilizing the power of dreams to invent creative ways to horrify the audience and that is left aside. That's a damn shame.

The only good aspect is the special effects, which are incredible, one of the best I've seen. Although, the deaths are pretty lame. At least the poster is nice.

Oh heck, even the title doesn't make sense. Why Freddy's Revenge? If we only consider the first movie, Freddy kills everybody, so there's no point in "revenge", he butchered everyone. If not, we discover later that Nancy survives the events of the original movie. So, if Freddy wants some payback, he should go after Nancy, not some random kid used as an avatar to kill his friends.

It's been a day since I've seen this masterpiece and I can't even remember what else I disliked, or liked. This film is awful.

Not better than first one but still good

I did not like actings of some cast, like lisa. Sometimes she could not show fear.

They said that Nancy Thompson went to a mental institution, so she is not dead. Her father also saw freddy. So, as an adult an cop, he could do something. I expected father to reveal things but probably he chose to escape with nancy.

Movie name is revenge but what is the revenge here :) I think freddy was brought to real world in first movie by nancy, so he is revenging it here. But not from nancy, maybe not yet.

I could not understand why he needed jesse to kill. In first movie he could kill easily with dreams. Because he is in real world? (that was my theory). Maybe yes.

Anyways, he used jesse's body to attack and kill. I could not understand how he could kill for example the coach while jesse's body was in his room. Maybe freddy only needs body who can dream. He kills in his way again. I am not sure.

While between teenagers, he was cool. It was good scene. He said "you are all my children now" and did not kill rest of them. It was also interesting. Maybe lisa saved again somehow or freddy took control of them.

Lisa was brave in the end to go to the old place where freddy was working, just like in the first movie how nancy was brave. And with "power of love", she took back jesse. But just like first movie, it was all hallucination maybe or they could not remove freddy totally. So maybe revenge was that in the end. Freddy took friend of lisa and it was revenge maybe.

This time movie was directed by Jack Sholder, not wes craven.

And about those years. Kid was in a bus with radio. Interesting scenes.

And first scene. The bus was going in such nice areas without any greens. I liked those scenes.

Seeing college life was cool also. Some kids were doing archery, some were playing baseball.

There was no internet or something so they bought house and did not know about it, its history.

In birds scene, first one was killed. I hope it was not real bird. And they probably made scared other bird. It exploded then. I hope they were not hurt. That is why i will give 6/10. Normally, i would give 7/10.

And still father says there must be an explanation. Such science addicted people!

In this movie, freddy did not kill people in extreme horrible ways.

My least favorite out of the series. Didn't like this one because Freddy wasn't really killing any one until the end. He used a live human to kill for him. So it was kind of dumb.
