Sure, it's dated, but it had that creepy 80s borderline b-movie feel to it, and the supporting cast was perfect. The fx are kind of laughable by today's standards, but I can't imagine that Englund's wisecracking corny one-liners can be duplicated and have the same effect in this new one. Bay's sense of humor is pretty lame.
I couldn't sleep comfortably for days when I first watched it, yet it was enjoyable on so many levels. I can't imagine saying that about anything that Bay has touched, but maybe there's a first time for everything. I can't argue with the choice for the new Freddy, but man, I dunno, that was a weak trailer.

i agree with you that at the time it came out, it was great. scary as shit. but now it just seems so cheesy.

I get your point. All I'm saying is that if that feeling that the original gave everyone at the time can't be duplicated or improved upon sans cheese, there probably is very little reason to remake this movie. I guess they can go ultra-disturbing and gorily realistic with it, since that's the trend these days, but I'm not sure how satisfying that would be. I'm sure it will make a ton of money either way.
