This movie's a joke and it turns Freddy into a joke. Where's the terror? Where's the paranormality? Where's the boiler room? Where is the sinister Freddy we all grew to loathe and love in the earlier films? Not on Elm Street this time around. Here's what you get instead: Freddy playing video games. Cameos by Roseanne and Tom Arnold and Johnny Depp. And that super-awesome trippy song In-a-gadda-davida. That's.. about all.
Elm Street 6 brings back Freddy and a new group of kids to defeat him. The supposed son of Freddy (!) and a group of orphanage kids and their therapist unravel the mystery once again. Except this time Freddy is a joke. He's a total clown full of corny punchlines. He doesn't have much motive or bloodlust. He doesn't seem to want to torment people anymore. He just does it because he's Freddy. Most of the movie is a comedy and turns into a soap opera towards the end. This is NOT the terrifying horrific Freddy Kreuger you get with the earlier films. Total joke. Then you get insane twists in the plot with more of Freddy's lineage and history.
Lots of effects. Decent although grasping-at-straws plot. Everything else is lame. Everything is too hasty and makes Elm Street 6 look like it was made strictly for business purposes. Not to make a kickass movie. Too many characters, most not significant enough. There's too much drama and twists and turns. What happened to the classic, simple plot of Elm Street 1? It works. You don't need a thousand twists in the plot to make Freddy horrifying and that movie a classic. And you don't need Freddy to be hanging around and making conversation and cracking jokes in every scene because all it does is make him look like a joke. Did I mention yet that most of the acting is superficial including Freddy? Yeah this movie is chockfull of horrible actors.
Oh, and you get to see Freddy "unmasked," that is before he got burned and became the Freddy we've known from the start. Then you get to see his life story and what makes him the villain he is. WHY??? That ruins all the fun. Freddy is just evil and that's what makes him so good. THEN he becomes human. Again, WHY? He's not supposed to be human anymore!! He's an evil villain that kills people THROUGH THEIR DREAMS and can't be defeated. I get that this was supposed to be the ultimate ending to the story and they packed everything they could into it, but way to kill the legend that is Freddy Kreuger.
This movie sucks overall, but the worst part is that Freddy is no longer sinister, terrifying, mysterious and shystey. He's become a clown and a soap star. Don't watch this movie unless you're an Elm Street freak and feel the need to see every movie in the series.
