Hi Casey
You said,"I was so shocked at reading it has 96% on rotten tomatoes, finally a fantastic score for DC." I totally agree, WB/DC have finally got their act together and have finally made a film that both comic and non-comic book fans can enjoy. I just hope that they can continue this trend and not fall back into their old and discredited ways.
You also mentioned "Girl Power", you know that I can't help but notice it took a woman director, Patty Jenkins, to drag WB/DC into the 21st century and out of it's old and tired misogynistic ways. So now maybe WB will drop the old guard, and their old fashioned film making methodology, and embrace current and forward thinking "behind the scene" talent when making future films, especially those based on comic book characters.
I also hope that now, and in the future, we will not have any further Marvel versus DC nonsense and just talk about good or bad comic book films, anything else is just non-productive nonsense.
(Rant over) I look forward to seeing the wonderful Wonder Woman film.
Catch you later.

Hi Andy
I will try to answer your query as best as my poor aged memory allows, remember when I first saw these films there was no Internet available and so what I read, or believed I read, is probably lost in the “mist of time”.
OK, what I remember was that “A Nightmare on Elm Street” was a hit and was well liked by horror fans, “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2” was quickly made after the original, was made by a different production team, was not liked and did not follow the themes set out in the first film. However, “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3” brought the film franchise back on track and was seen as the film that “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2” should have been.
As for the main theme of “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2”, I actually do not remember how it departed from the main premise of the first film, just that it did and it was highly disliked because of it.
Still, we are talking about films/videos I saw over 30 something years ago (back in the Beta vs VHS tape days) and may be my memory is playing tricks on me.
Catch you later.

You know Andy
We just can't agree on anything nowadays.
Here is the result of a "friendly" disagreement:
Catch you later.
