I don't think I've seen it before. It was ok. Even judging it as one of the original horror icon movies, it was just ok. I'd put it ahead of the original Friday the 13th but behind the original Halloween.

The story still works. Some of the effects are a little dated.

It works, but I found myself a little....bored throughout the movie. I like the premise and I really love Freddy, but I just didn't like it the way I thought I would.

Uncensored or censored?

Uh, I don't know? What's the difference?

A few seconds from what I can see online.

I was curious as to the differences and as far as I can tell, it seems to be the uncensored one. I might watch the second one and see if it improves.

Please don't tell me the original is the best.

It's the only Elm Street movie I'd call really good.

Every slasher-horror film is behind the original Halloween tbh.

I need to rewatch it. It's been too long.

It was a different kind of twist, but it doesn't make too much sense that an old lady can go around killing all those teens

I don't think I've seen any Friday the 13th movies besides the original and Freddy vs Jason.

It doesn't hold up. I just watched it for the first time in probably 20 years, and it was no where near as good as I remembered. Easily the worst of the three

Lol I think the uncensored just has an extra 2 seconds of sideboob (since we all know nudity is so much more horrifying than blood, gore, mutilation, etc)

It was probably scary in 84. That scene where his arms elongate is so cheesy... also that's Johnny Depp, I didn't even know he was in it!

its my favorite movie of all time
i love nancy. she is my favorite final girl

the only issue i have with it is the stupid ending but just pretend it was all a bad dream she was having.

the best films in the series are 1 3 4 and new nightmare

2 is incredibly boring
5 isnt much better
freddy's dead is fun in a so bad its good kind of way

I feel the same. It was clever. The sequels are less well put together, but are fun because they are incredibly campy and fun. The third almost plays like an urban fantasy film, honestly. The first is probably my favorite, though.

Me and the missus have been watching the series through and just watched the third one tonight, oddly enough.

the only issue i have with the third one is towards the end so this is spoiler heavy =

killing off nancy in the last ten minutes pisses me off so much. i would actually be fine with nancy dying to save the new kids but thats not what happened. what happened was nancy's IQ dropped 50 points in the last 10 minutes so she could fall for a trick she wouldnt have fallen for at any other point in the movie just so she could get stabbed.

Yeah, but to be fair, she wasn't exactly a genius to begin with. Either way, though, I tend to agree with you. The whole movie was delicious cheese balls, though, so I sort of give it a pass.
