Bound to divide opinion. As a massive slasher fan i can never understand the popularity and icon status of freddie. Nightmare on elm street was pretty good but the rest were rubbish. The stuff he says is childish, not that funny and a lot less effective than, say, pinheads. His glove is pretty cool, but is underused as a weapon, with him relying more on daft gimmicky kills. I just don't get why he is revered more than a lot of other standard slasher characters of the day.
