QUOTE (MissFreddie)

The one thing that annoys me about sequals is that the more they make the worse they get and the original actors in most cases don't comeback.

For example - 'Nightmare on ELm Street' the first was a classic but the rest spoiled it even though i enjoyed them.

The same goes for 'Alien' I enjoyed the second installment better than the first but Alien 3 and 4 were rubbish...Sequals are great if they have the original actors, directors and great storylines..

Thanks

In most cases that's true, MissFreddie, it really depends on the series though. If the first movie had room for improvement then the sequels can only get better but if the original was a classic then they just go downhill.

But you definately have a good point - when they start changing the actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. then it can completely mess with the series. The reason Halloween 3 was the worst out of them all was because they changed the concept completely... It didn't have the characters (let alone the actors) and was taken in a new direction. The movie might have worked had it not been called Halloween 3... As soon as 4 came out it was back on track (although nothing could beat the original).

Always good to hear other people's points of view!

(Even Though i Love Freddy as Much as i do) I think it went a bit out of hand until Freddy's Dead. From That movie on The squeals got better. (even though they wernt part of the actual series) I love Freddy in Wes Cravens New Nightmare. That movie Scares the Crap out of me everytime i watch it. I guess thats why i like watching it so much. Freddy vs Jason was Awesome. I always wanted to See them Face off. Even when i was little i wanted to see them fight. now if only we could have Mike Myers vs Leather Face or Something like that. lol That would be cool too

Tag team events, lol. I think series really go downhill when you forget which plot was in which film as they all seem to merge together. I know I've seen some of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, but I couldn't say which ones... I might as well be playing guess the number... Which one was it where reality and fantasy become blurred and Robert Englund played himself playing Freddy, lol... And someone was attacked by one of the claws... Whichever that one was, I thought it was great. New Nightmare?

I personally think its the scariest of the Nightmare on Elm Streets (even though it isnt considered part of the series). Freddys new glove was Kick Butt. :lol: It was so cool. i have the movie poster as wallpaper on my computer. Thats how much i like the movie :wub:
