Freddy's Dead, Don't Be Misled
'They've Saved the Best for Last' the poster says.
That's a lie.
Despite having the biggest effects budget yet - or perhaps because of it - this is easily the worst of the series.
Once again, we have a group of bad acting teenage Freddy fodder that exists pretty much just to be killed in spectacular ways. And, even though a reason is (sort of) given why he's after this new crop, the story is beyond silly - it just makes no sense. And this time when I say the script makes no sense, I don't mean like in previous movies where there are parts of the movie that make no sense... no, this time the whole thing makes no sense.
It seems like they cut large portions of necessary exposition rather than cut any of the numerous pop culture references, star cameos, or effects shots - of which there are many, including a way too over-the-top finale (in 3D no less).
