I was actually deathly afraid of Freddy in the first movie, and now having seen the sequel that fear is waning. First of all, his power comes from the fact that he can kill us in our dreams. If he were to get a real body, he would be just a normal serial killer, and therefore not... read more
It's a testament to the original's greatness, that this pile of feces didn't stop the entire franchise dead in it's tracks. I've seen a lot of shitty sequels to horror movies, but the second installment of "...Elm Street" might be the worst. The whole story is an idiotic depart... read more
This movie is fu*king hilarious. I loved it. It wasn't Freddy Krueger that was hilarious, it was the characters - (mostly Jesse and Ron Grady). Jesse's reactions of terror are funny (he looks constipated and feverish all the time). Jesse dancing to "Touch Me (All Night Long)" whi... read more
Freddy's revenge had a lot going for it. The concept of the film was great. It's too bad the film fell short on many levels. One of the reasons why this film is so disappointing compared to the superior first is the weak cast of characters. The film went down hill for me because ... read more
One thing is assured when a horror film does big money at the box office- it will get a sequel (or a dozen) and that sequel will be a cheap imitation of the original. Typically they're made cheaply and bank on name recognition. It's the same formula to make a buck. Friday the 13t... read more
I actually thought this was a better story than the first, but It's not the better movie. The Jesse character was such a better protagonist than Nancy. The acting is just as good as the first. The movie's biggest flaw is in the mediocre directing and lack of style.
Not as tense a film as it?s prequel, but a bit of a different storyline in that the take on this one is Possession.
An average watch.
In my opinion, "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 - Freddy's Revenge" was a pretty good sequel. In this sequel, Freddy Krueger terrorizes a teen named Jesse by taking over his body and making Jesse think that he is the one that is murdering people. It's up to Jesse and his girlfriend, ... read more
Mr. Patton and Miss Myers make likable teen-age heroes, and Mr. Englund actually turns Freddy into a welcome presence. Full Review
...a weak retread of its marginally superior predecessor... Full Review
An uneven, tedious, and sloppy sequel with plot holes, lapses in logic and horrible performances... Full Review
Possibly the lamest of all the sequels, although Five and Six later set the bar particularly low. Full Review
As is the prevalent case with most sequels, the film is inferior to its predecessor. It is still very, very good, however, more so than most viewers give it credit for. Full Review
Very weird, homoerotic flick, but very entertaining in a 80s kindofaway
Although Jesse and Lisa are granted some much-needed time to get it on, he and the film would appear in unison in that they're still waiting to come out of the closet. Full Review
The second film of the series departs from the storyline dramatically, leaving the impression that it doesn't fit into the series. Full Review
