Critical End!

Claws Up

• Jackie Earle Haley seems to be playing it pretty well.
• The bed levitation and claw-in-the-tub indicate they’re paying proper homage to the original.
• They’re bringing the nursery rhyme back, complete with creepy jump-roping girls.

Claws Down

• “From Producer Michael Bay”
• “It’s so hot in this fire!  I’d better take off my windbreaker and–BOOM!  Stripey shirt!”
• The implication that Freddy Krueger may be innocent.  Come on, he’s the bastard son of a thousand maniacs.
• The possibility that Freddy Krueger is going to talk like Slingblade the whole movie.

So what do you guys think?  Also, side note, this kid is making a career out of dying.
