I'd be more torn up about Robert Englund's departure if the original series hadn't turned into a camp-fest over the course of the 8 movies (including Freddy vs. Jason). I thought the fact that Rober Englund starred in all the films was more "fun trivia" than it was "the defining element to the series."

Anyway, the cinematagrophy looks gorgeous and the horror genre might be a genre just confining enough to keep Michael Bay from Baysploding a whole movie. Because let's face it...as good as Nightmare 1 and 2 still are (and they are classics)...the special effects are definitely showing their age in a campy way. Although the bed scene with Johnny Depp and the Bathtub scene are still two of my favorite scenes in cinema. Also, the scene where Freddy's face comes out of the wall...
