In Defense of Freddy's Dead:The Final Nightmare.


Freddy's Dead:The Final Nightmare is my third favorite in the franchise with the original being at the top place followed by Part IV:The Dream Master and I never really understood any of the hatred of the film like I don't understand the hatred of any of the Elm Street films yes including the remake.
To me Freddy's Dead is a true highlight of the franchise if it we're possible and is needing of more respect.
Freddy's Dead:The Final Nightmare features a wonderfully bizarre tone throughout the whole film.
Freddy's Dead also has a plot structure that the original and Part 4 has where it's basically two films split into one the first act serves as a John Doe story than the 2nd act serves as a Maggie story.
I liked the characters they are much stronger than the ones in Part III(Still a amazing film).
This film also has a improved Freddy than Part 5.
This film is all the way around a great film.

This is the absolute perfect ranking of Freddy movies followed by no other films. Fans seems to love Dream Warriors but I always thought it was cheap looking and had downright unoriginal death scenes which Dream Master and Final Nightmares did with honors.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1; NEW NIGHTMARE: 8/10
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3, 4 & 5: 4/10
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2; FREDDY'S DEAD; FREDDY VS JASON; A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2010: 3/10

It's my 3rd favorite too. First the first one then New Nightmare then this one. I've always love this one because we learn more of Freddy's backstory. Plus the fact he had a kid.
