underated?

its one of the best Freddy sequels no denying, but IMO I find the movie to be little overrated, many people think this is the best sequel but I disagree, Dream warriors is easily the best sequel in the franchise, by far the most creative sequel.

it's one of the most original, genius, inventive films ever made. scream gets so much credit for being the first meta, self referential horror film but it wasn't this was 2 years before scream and it was more daring than scream in that instead of just the characters all knowing about horror movies the characters are actors. and it always feels authentic and realistic with the sets and the hollywood talks amongst the main characters and wes craven.

there have been plenty of movies where the characters know about and talk about other movies. like reservoir dogs talks about madonna, and they are before scream so it's not like scream was the first movie to reference or talk about horror movies in general, but it was the first horror movie to specifically talk about horror movies as far as halloween and friday the 13th.

for example tom hanks' character talks about horror movies, the psychological thrills people get while watching horror movies in he knows you're alone.

i think the first movie to be meta about horror movies is student bodies. but it's a comedy. so the first horror movie to be meta about horror movies might be jason goes to hell: the final friday.

Question......howcome people are stuck on 1 thing ? Meaning, "monkey see monkey do" ??

EVERYBODY is stuck on 1-3. Then they say, that's it.

To be honest and YES I know my $ hyt.... 1 was a classic 2 was stupid and didn't live by the original roles and had too many gay undertones, which YES even if you're not homophobic, it's an annoying movie !! 3 finally brought back the rules and very entertaining 4 is 1 of my MOST favorite and "fast paced", compared to the others 5 The world could've DEFINITELY done without 6 I gave it a pass, because Billy Zane's cute sister was in it and it went a hint deeper into Freddy, but it still was a "guilty pleasure" 7 New Nightmare, PURE GENIUS !! WHO would've thought of making a movie with the director showing his face, which fans didn't know what he looked like..we didn't have the internet...plus Heather was back and "BETTER looking" then how unattractive they made her in part 3....Miko the son who played Heather's son was good...I thought the child was possessed because of his maturity to carry this movie - Kindergarten Cop....and Pet Cemetary. So for anyone to put any hatred and flaws on this movie, YOU truly need to get your head examined or get your Star Wars/Norman Bates lovin' a$$ kicked = Sorry TRUTH

PS - If you want to bash a DUMB movie....bash the Friday The 13th Series and bash the 1st Friday, since it was sooooooooo beyond stupid and the geeky people who keep saying "We empathized with Jason's Mom"....Ohhhhhhhhhhhh SHUT UP and make some logic *grunt*

it's genius and ahead of it's time. before it there had never been a movie where the characters are playing themselves but not in the way it usually is, because they're not playing themselves as actors, they are playing themselves as themselves. it's more specific here than in most movies where it says in the cast listing herself or himself. also the difference that is big is when this happens in most movies they play bit parts, cameos, but this was the first time where this happens and the actors have the main parts.

6.4 on IMDB sounds reasonable. It's the third highest ranked in the series next to Dream Warriors at 6.6 and part 1 at 7.5. Only one star least than the original, sounds about right to me.

The kid Dylan kind makes it hard for me to watch. I didn't care for his acting at all otherwise I'd rate it a bit higher. Maybe a 7.

Freddy's Dead, now that's underated! 4.9 on IMDB? That's the lowest ranked nightmare out of all of them and I think it's actually pretty good.
