Is The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie Any Good? 

what did you think of the FNAF Movie if you've seen it 🤔

I have a very strong appreciation for the fact that the animatronics in this movie weren’t just CG’d in and were actual life-size puppets. Blumhouse tends to do practical stuff like that really well.

Let’s be real. MatPat’s cameo was more terrifying than the animatronics themselves.

Honestly, if this movie had Brian Griffin, it would automatically be a 10/10 and you know that Mark.

I'm honestly was surprised by how solid the movie was. Its not groundbreaking and as a horror movie, its a little laughable, but honestly, I loved how ambitious the story was. I think its a little ironic though that the jumpscares were the weakest part imo. Also massive W Universal for including the remix at the end.

as someone who barely knows the lore to these games, I loved this movie for just how much of an unapologetic shitpost it was. Its rare to see a film actually utilise meme humour like FNAF did

I honestly had a really good time watching it opening night, I don't think it's anything spectacular, but for the people who waited years for this, i'd say it was worth the wait.

I really liked Mike as a protagonist. You’d expect him to be your typical horror movie character who just stumbles into the dark and gets scared. Instead he actively makes a choice to continue going to the pizzeria. He’s very sympathetic due to his backstory, the fact he actively figures things out and ask questions shows that he’s pretty smart too. Mike really hooked me into this movie and made me invested in how he’ll both survive and uncover the mystery behind the deaths of the kids.

I loved when MatPat said “That’s Just A Theory” and Theorized all over the place

Been noticing this trend of movies based on popular movies (such as Sonic, Super Mario, and now FNaF) that movie critics would review negatively, fans love them, and others thinking they're okay or just good. Seems like they stay more true to the original properties, which I think helps a lot too. I remember there was a time that it seemed like every movie based on a videogame were viewed poorly, especially from the fans. Good that fans have these movies they can genuinely enjoy.

It’s not really a movie, it’s just something for fans to watch and go “hey, I recognise that thing” as a stand-alone movie it’s dreadful

it felt a lot like a campy 80s horror flick, the spring bonnie scene especially... fitting considering it's set around that time period lol

I think what I liked most about this movie is that it really managed to capture the vibe of the FNAF fandom at its peak (the good side of the fandom, that is). It felt like one of those weirdly high budget fan films you'd find when scrolling through RU-vid in 2015. Even without all the obscure references, it'd still feel like a love letter by vibes alone.

To be honest, I deliberately went into this movie with no expectations, and I loved it. Literally my only deciding factor for whether or not a movie is good is "Did I have fun watching it?"

Ultimately I barely care about FNaF but even I will say the actual animatronics look really good. They're really detailed and look very faithful without coming off goofy in universe. Which I find pretty impressive.

I like the part in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie when Freddy goes "All too long have I been trapped in this metallic husk. I am like a living tombstone" and then drops his mic.

A lot of the plot's issues can honestly be explained by the fact that this is Scott's first screenplay. Usually when you have a situation like this, you'd partner him with another writer who HAS written screenplays for movies before. But...the other two writers with him...were also new. I do hope if they get a sequel, that they put him with a more experienced writer. Still let him have his creative freedom, but have someone able to steer it in a more clear way. Not so oddly paced in areas, like the last twenty minutes just....being a sudden dump of info and then Afton just showing up.

I honestly like the fact they kept William mysterious for this movie. Opens up for a sequel and can lighten us on how his backstory is like in the actual games (william was barley mentioned in fnaf one but he got introduced in fnaf 2) And they can do more stuff with Golden Freddy in the next movie too

I honestly really liked Mike as a character because you genuinely sympathise with him and his trauma, especially at the start when he beats up that guy who he thought was kidnapping a kid, when he’s offered the choice to dream about his brother and family being safe every night you understand why he would agree to that, he cares for Abby but what happened to his brother really affected him. I think he was a genuinely great protagonist and honestly my favourite part of the movie.

Was pretty decent. Nothing groundbreaking but for what it was it was very good. Absolutely love the references to popular fan stuff like “Dream Theory”
