A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

Nowhere near as bad as everyone's making out. I really dug how dark the film was in tone (almost similar to New Nightmare stylistically). Thought the new Nancy was cool. The new Freddy oozed sleaze in a couple of scenes and I liked how his burnt face looked. Englund's Krueger is really iconic to me so there's no way his version of Freddy will be topped for me but I thought they did ok at creating a new vision of Freddy. Somewhere in between the first two flicks and New Nightmare look/characterwise but with a more subtle menace to him. People have basically already made up their minds to slam this one before they've seen it but go into it with an open mind and see for yourself.
Guess it's to early for word on a sequel but I'd definitely check it out because I want to see where they go with the character. Exceeded my expectations and it's totally worth a watch.
