Finally went around and got to seeing it.
I liked it.
I thought Jackie did do better than the other Freddie, though the original will always be a classic....or maybe I just like that they wrote his character more evil than the other? Either way, the fucker was a perv.
I noticed that it didn't really feel like any other Freddie movie though, it was a different feel.
Some parts dragged on, but as soon as it got noticeable, it changed. I didn't jump or anything, and neither did my date....but I think my date was/is a tough ass girl.
I think Jason was the better remake, so far...but now that all the Freddy story got out of the way, I can't wait to see the 2nd one. There were tons of killings.
