I finally saw Men In Black 3 since I didn't want to go see it in theaters. Aside from some expected time-travel induced plot holes it was a fun and enjoyable though underwhelming film. I liked it. Infinitely better than the garbage second film.

That is a really cool looking scene.

So we watched Elm Street 3 last night and I will say I rather enjoyed it. It was infinitely better than the hokey NOES2, and it was better than the first one. It wasn't scary, but I think some of the imagery from 3 might have done a good job at scaring me a few times. For example the huge 'snake' thing that tries to eat the girl from Medium. That was pretty damn creepy, even at age 35, lol. It was a much better plot than the 2nd movie by far.

Freddy still doesn't strike me as scary though, and I'm confused as to why they only feature him for only a few scenes in these movies. Were they trying to go for the JAWS effect? Not showing the 'monster' but a few sparing times? I dunno. It didn't bother me too much but there were 3 high points for me:

1. The scene with the first kid who is treated like a marionette. I remember a kid in school talking about that scene and how gruesome it was. It wasn't, but I remembered it and when I saw the scene, I smiled. Maybe from a hint of nostalgia, even though I hadn't seen the film before?

2. Another scene told to me by some kids: the scene with the silent kid and the nurse, where their tongues get stuck together. Same idea s the first one, maybe a bit of nostalgia?

3. Same scene with the nurse - FINALLY, a pair of titties in s slasher film. It only took 3 movies to see some 80s tits.

All in all my 'favorite' so far. It actually was a little enjoyable, and I like how they pretty much completely ignore NOES2's story, lol.
You neglected to mention that NOES3 also pretty much laid the framework for the metaphysical laws that govern the dream world in the Elm Street Universe.

For one, some people can pull others into their dream, which would later appear in parts 4 and 5. For another, people can tap into powers that exist in their best dreams (acrobatics, super strength, wizard powers, etc).

Although parts 4 and 5 would expand this concept, only to be abandoned in every post-Dream Child (pt5) sequel, but touched on in a way in Freddy vs Jason vs Ash: Nightmare Warriors.

The second film was fine. If it was better that, I imagine I'm going to enjoy it a lot
