Do You Think The New Freddy Is Better Than Robert Englund?

I like Robert england because I like how in some he would play with his victims, aka fuckin with them. I havent seen the new Freddy in action, but from what I did see I'd say he look more evil and doesnt seem like he really gives that ( fuck with them until its time too kill approach ) like I said I seen some of it but Idk because I havent seen all of it.

I agree with HellFighter, the new Freddy is a better actor in general, really good, and I do think if the re-make had a better director he could have made a better Freddy, but in this case he didn't. plus I heard the Robert Englund didn't want to do the re-make. Just things I've heard don't know if its true

I went into the threaters with low expectations for the movie in general, but I was surprised. As for the new Freddy I think he played the part well! He certainly creeped ME out, he seems a lot more serious and intense. Of course no one will replace Robert (such a stud) but I'm def. not complaining!

Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges.

Yes, they're both fruit, but the taste, consistency, and texture are all entirely different, so no fair comparison can be made.

Another example is comparing Heath Ledger's Joker to that of Jack Nicholson.

To be honest, I like the new Freddy a little more for one reason alone- he harkens back to Wes Craven's idea of a menacing dream killer that is an utterly terrifying presence rather than a wacky jokester.

JEH still included a few jokes, but rather than coming off as an attempt to be funny, these came off more as the diseased musings of a twisted mind that was taking sadistic pleasure in the torture of his victims.

Also, one line that utterly chilled me to the bone was his off-hand remark about how the human brain continues to function after the body dies. "We've got six more minutes to play."

Think about all the pain and suffering he caused that kid in less than thirty seconds. Now multiply it by twelve.

Yeah.

I am an absolute classic horror kind of girl.
And I say that Robert Englund is the one and only Freddy.
Remakes are terrible. [Unless its the Grudge, both original & remake failed].

No one can act like Freddy, like Robert Englund can.
After all, he is the one and only original Freddy.
