I watched this last night and I really enjoyed it. I was expecting them to gloss over the Career of Robert Englund before he got the role of Freddy but that didn't happen at all. Truth be told I haven't seen a role of his outside of the Nightmare franchise and I was happy to see them give time to his roles before Nightmare on Elm Street and after his last one in with Freddy vs Jason.
