I haven't seen many of the sequels (I believe I've only seen 2 of them), but if the first is supposed to be the best, I haven't a lot of expectations for the rest. I liked the story line enough (and although seeing Johnny Depp being pulled into a mattress and turned into a blood geyser was hellafunny), Freddy just isn't my kind of villain. I'm more strong silent type like Micheal and Jason. And Freddy is a bit much talk and not so much action. He's able to kill kids while they're their most vulnerable, and yet his body count isn't as impressive as it should be. I guess that's an example of sorts to what has been formally said about lack of use of such an awesome and unique weapon.
That isn't to say that Freddy isn't a slasher or horror icon. His back story is good, his look is grotesque (which is good), and there's no denying Robert Englund's portrayal is stuff of legend. He's just not my cup of tea. And no disrespect to those who love him.
