Any giant guy could play terminator. The terminator movies just suck with casting. Every single one after 2 has been horrible choices after horrible choices. Old Arnold just doesn't work. He's not intimidating anymore or as buff. Scary old people can work but Arnold isn't scary, just foreign.

@Succulant Cranberry Well don’t you sound bitter. First off Arnold was chosen by James Cameron himself to play the roll after meeting him. Secondly the roll catapulted him to stardom and it opened the door for him to make action based films including True Lies with Cameron again. It’s not just about being big and if you paid attention you would know that.

Robert Englund is a cool guy. You can see that he is passionate about the characters he plays, mainly Freddy, because he appreciates his fans, so he does it for them. That is one of the purposes of being an actor. There is no way anyone else’s hand could fill that glove, and no way they could wear that fedora as well as Robert can. He is brilliant.

@@lunch77 I'm going with, in this distinct order, 2, 1, 3, 4, and Freddy Vs. Jason. The makeup for Freddy from Nightmares 5&6 were like...no! Freddy looks like an almost friendly version of a child murderer in both, with 5 being where he almost looks...well... white in some of the picture stills, and 6? Give me a break! Was the makeup artist for Freddy's Dead: The "Final" Nightmare on drugs or something? Seriously?!? Freddy looked like a goofy clown kind of killer in that movie! We won't even begin to discuss Wes Craven's New Nightmare, or the 2010 Re-Boot of the original Nightmare On Elm Street! However (& yeah-I'm probably going to be in the minority on this movie!), but, for what he was given to work with, Jackie Earle Haley did what I consider to be a great job, playing the part of Freddy Krueger. In fact, at least vocally. He sounds much more threatening, with that voice of his!

Admittedly, the first 4 of these movies were my favorites, with it being almost a tie between the first and third movies. 3, 1, 4, & 2, in that particular order, are my personal lineup on this movie series. After that, It's Nightmare On Elm Street 2010, Freddy Vs. Jason, and Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. Then, to finish off the list, it's Wes Craven's New Nightmare, then Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Isn't it strange that Freddy Vs. Jason, and Nightmare On Elm Street 2010 are quite possibly the most hated movies in this series, and yet, they made the most money? Go figure.

I wish Hollywood would humanize Freddy & show us his back story on why he became evil. Like show him being a model citizen but an action of someone blackmailing him & then accusing him of being a child molester & then burning him before going to trial made him get revenge on the town that burned him alive. I don’t want him to be born evil!!
@francarrey75019 ай бұрын
No, some individuals are pure evil. Over the course of the sequels starting with Dream Warriors, they tell the history of Fred Kreuger. He was born because his mother who was a nun was accidently locked up in an insane asylum and raped by a thousand maniacs. She gave him up for adoption and changed her name. His father was abusive and Freddie begin to enjoy the pain as a child. Got married and had a daughter back in the 1950s while molesting the children in the neighborhood. His daughter watched him kill her mother and got him arrested leading to the parents in the neighborhood learning that he molested their children. To protect his daughter from him, she was placed in foster care and her name was changed. When Fred got off on a technicality, they parents of the molested children got together and killed him and burned him to death. Freddie emerges from hell as a dream entity and gets his revenge by killing the children of the parents who murdered him. He was a pedophile in real life who gets off on murdering teenagers as a demonic entity. That's the more interesting story than trying to sanctify a pedophile. The moral argument was made in the original by Nancy after she learns the truth from her mom yet Freddie still killed her mother, her boyfriend, and her friends. I perfer the original Halloween movies minus the third one and up to Halloween: H20. I pretend Resurrection doesn't exist. The Rob Zombie remake of turning Michael into a child from a broken home with an abusive stepfather, a stripper for a mom, a slutty stepsister, being bully to go to a psych ward with an unsophisticated, foul mouth psychiatrist who gets killed in the first movie and grows up to still his overalls from a Rick James parody to stalk and kill the most annoying half sister in history was a good concept in theory. You understood why he killed them and kept the stripper mom alive. But the interesting part of the original was why would a middle class six year old kid in a two parent household in the surburb suddenly go nuts and kill his sister and her boyfriend. I know the answer is because she wouldn't take him trick or treating but that's the interesting story. The mystery of why yet not necessarily unraveling it. Halloween 4 was a good sequel like Dream Warriors because they touch on it. Dream Child 5, Freddie's dead 6, Halloween 5 and 6 fell apart because they spent too much time to find plausible reasons why the evil exist instead of accepting evil exists and finding ways to defeat it like the original Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street did.

This is one of the advantages of prosthetics and makeup over CGI. A good talent will lose themselves in the role. They see themselves in the mirror and BECOME the character, which usually leads to a more realistic performance. It also works well for the co-stars, as they don't have to fake fear.
