If you thought Englund was going to star in the other parts of this franchise only after him not being the star in this one, then you should do some research and try to find out why Englund wasn't the man for the job in these new Freddie movies. The people that brought this classic back to life didn't want Englund, they didn't want Freddie to be funny like in part III on up, they didn't want Freddie to have the same face as back then, they didn't want him to have the same voice. They're taking this franchise to a whole nother level and I think the'yre going in the right direction.
Some of you need to get out of the past and accept that classics are going to be re-made and aren't going to have the same feel as the original. This is just entertainment, it's not that serious, especially if you're just the spectator.
