How is the new "A Nightmare on Elm Street"? Is it as good as the original?

I work at my local movie theater and tickets for it have been selling very well. Even though there was a Tornado Watch with awful weather Friday night, we sold out 4 showings of it and had to start turning away a lot of people. Most even bought advanced tickets for Saturday. Many came back and saw it multiple times in one night. All of our managers and staff that have seen it loved it.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to the critics, it stinks. Only a few rate it positively, and it isn't just bloggers or small newspapers either. The positive reviews include Richard Roper, Time Magazine and Hollywood.com. Compare that to the original Nightmare, which has positive reviews in the majority.

I will probably never watch it. I looked at the trailer, and it did not feel right. Freddy looks more like an alien than a burned human, and Jackie Earl Halie's voice as Freddy sounds weird, not scary at all.
