Well, at least without Robert Englund.
No Nightmare on Englund's Street
Robert Englund's term as Freddy Krueger may have come to end.
Platinum Dunes and New Line rocked the horror world last week when the production entities announced they were working together to overhaul the "Nightmare on Elm Street" brand (full story here). A number of industry sources recently phoned in to shed some light on the early discussions going on behind-the-scenes regarding "Nightmare"...and none of them include Englund starring as Krueger.
The franchise facelift includes discovering a new actor to polish up the finger knives and play the iconographic dream role Englund has practically made his second skin since '84.
Disheartening news for the fans, maybe, but rumor has it Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is taking "Nightmare" back to square one...as in fresh start, hitting the reset button, making it their own (think "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" '03 and Friday the 13th '09). Because of this decision, they'd like to find another actor to carry the new Krueger into future films.

So, I ask you guys is a Nightmare without Robert Englund worth watching?

No, not at all. I won't watch this or the new Friday the 13th movie. It's just stupid.

I was thinking the same thing. Anyone can play Jason or Michael Myers, but Freddie has a personality. Michael Bay is ruining all the classics.
Style Before Comfort!
2I totally agree.

I am really ticked off about it. I mean Freddy/Robert Englund makes Nightmare on Elm Street. Without is evil snark how can it be worth the time? Its just what lala said, its all about personality. And Robert Englund is Freddy.
Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.
