EXCITING FX FILLED SEQUEL! 3 1/2 STARS!
Added 4/14/2009
I am reviewing the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series, but not this DVD release. I own the box set and I wanted to do individual reviews for each film.
Probably the best of the sequels 'The Dream Warriors' has a bigger budget and a new wisecracking Freddy. If your going to churn out film after film, then why not have some fun with it? At this point the films aren't even trying to be scary, but they make good Halloween night picks! The DVD transfer is very good.

Five, six get a crucifix

A brilliant sequel, probably my favourite so far. The idea of setting this movie in a mental hospital (where teenagers who are having nightmares about Freddy trying to kill them have been sent) was a very cleaver idea and it worked really well. Very good and suspenceful and you really care about the charactors.

He knows your fears.

Nightmare 3. Probably one of the best sequels to date. This is the movie where Freddy started using kids fears, ambitions, and hobbies against them. One of the best scenes is probably Phillips marionette walk. Still to this day grosses me out!
Also, a legendary line was coined in this movie. "Welcome To Primetime Bitch!". Which has been used for years and years since it's release.
This also sees the return of Nancy and introduction of Kristen. Heather Langenkamp and Patricia Arquette did an amazing acting job together. The pace of this movie is just right. And, in my opinion, has one of the best endings in any Nightmare movie!

3rd Time's a Charm!!!
Added 9/4/2008
Freddy's 3rd is better than the 2nd, because he is in it more, and Nancy is back! Nancy helps teens with their nightmares at Westin Hills. Kristen has the power to bring people into her dreams. She gets help from Nancy, Joey, Kincaid, and others. Dr. Neil Gordon tries to help by burrying Freddy in holy ground and splashing his bones with holy water. This one hints about how Freddy came to be. (You find out more about that in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child') This is also kind of sad because Nancy dies toward the end. If you love the Freddy series, hopefully, you'll love A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS!!!

A Return to Form
Added 5/25/2008
After the weaksauce story of ANOES 2, Craven decided to write the screenplay for the next installment in series, which was a very good call. Dream Warriors is the continuation of the story of the original Nightmare, and it carries it on very well.
Nancy returns in Dream Warriors as a doctor who is studying dreams, and she is brought into Westin Hills to help a group of troubled teens who have weird dreams. ANOES 3 features a good cast (including, a young Laurence Fishburn), and the characters work well together.
Overall, I enjoyed ANOES 3 much more than the 2nd part.
