Somewhere, I still have my 3D glasses from the theatrical release of ”Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare,” which I enthusiastically wore during the incredibly lame 3D sequence where Freddy actual dies. Still, it added to the sense of theatricality that accompanied the film’s release, which feels more like a cameo-filled series finale than a major motion picture. Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Tom Arnold and, er, Rosanne Barr, all make brief, incredibly ‘90s appearances.)
At this point, the series had become too jokey and self-aware; what should have been a monumental event feels more like a poorly conceived prank.
