Ok but you gotta admit, they put in WORK with the scenes. The Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria building was made perfectly. The cast was amazing and idk if the animatronics were real or not but they did their job. If I was a kid I would have been very afraid. And they did amazing at making the building look abandoned and the whole 80's vibe video was soot on. They did great with the visuals.
Vanessa swapping from her playing with Abby, and immediately threatening Mike to keep her away makes complete sense imo, she has to keep up the act and be fun around Abby and the animatronics, but she is serious and keeps it real with Mike. She knows they’re a threat and Abby is in danger, but she doesn’t want to upset the animatronics or make Abby scared
Yeah I agree, I just didn’t love how they like, scripted it, the writing, like, have her threaten him, threaten with arrest, not murder lmao, she knows he’s trying to keep Abby in his custody, threatening to arrest him for child endangerment, threaten to lie and say he left her alone or doesn’t lie, would just reveal that he’s taking sleeping pills while his sister wanders around a run down pizzeria Threatening makes sense, threatening with murder comes off like she is like… insane XD I think the intention was “this chick has no idea how to intimidate someone, she went from building a blanket fort to threatening to use a gun on someone she has been nothing but encouraging to It comes off clunky, like Vanessa crumbles under pressure, which she does, but at this point she should be able to maintain her cover lmao
@@Gibbypastrami yeah you’re definitely right that they could of wrote it better, I’m just trying to explain why she randomly shifts from all supportive to threatening him. Also I mean, Vanessa is borderline insane…it’s implied she’s the one cleaning the bodies up and keeping people from finding out her dads secret. She only really switches and goes against him in this case because there’s a child’s life on the line this time
She's all nice until Mike says he's bringing Abby along because he's using her to find out who kidnapped his brother. This pisses her off because she realizes he's not just being ignorant bringing her along but rather endangering her for his own gain
The entire movie theater stood up and cheered when MatPat came on screen and that made it for me. Everybody was laughing and having a good time. Nobody really took it seriously.
I think the reason Vanessa randomly switched moods when leaving the pizzeria was because William Afton was listening while they were inside, so she was supposed to encourage them to keep coming. But once they were outside she instead warned them.
She threatened Mike and didn’t even tell him about the animatronics wanting to make abbey like them or about William. It’s the main reason why I personally don’t like her character
On top of this, she's also actively helping her father. Which i think lots of ppl have missed during watching. So it's not really a plothole. She knows about it, she helped cover up the bodies when the those ppl died to the animatronics. Her father during the climax mentions that she wasnt supposed to tell him (Mike) anything. He was supposed to be left in the dark. So clearly she has been helping him
Completely agree that it would've been better if it had leaned into being more unnerving. That was what made the original games scary. It wasn't just that the robots were alive, it's that every time you saw them they were giving you a psychopath stare, or you could only barely see them from shadows. We saw them move waaayyyy too much, and by halfway in the film it's impossible to be scared of them. My biggest problem is that Matthew Lilliard was woefully underutilized. He gave a spectacular performance
no yea they put like 2 scenes in with him and then the reveal at the end felt pretty "meh" to me because he wasn't shown enough for it to be an interesting reveal
About Vanessa flipping, I think she was more scared of Abby getting killed by her father. She didn't want to scare Abby but was harsh on Mike trying to ensure Abbys safety. But the switch was pretty extreme I agree
@@farewell418 Nah, they were away from the animatronics when she said that. Plus, she could’ve just outright said what she ended up telling him anyway.
@@OodieSoodie yeah that’s the point, she was away from the animatronics so now she could warn Mike (she could’ve been a bit calmer, I can agree). The animatronics are dangerous but they have no power outside the restaurant
@@BIastProcXits pg 13 and if their parents took them it doesn't even matter, I went to go see the new saw movie and one person brought in their 5 year old kid
I just got out of it, had a blast but there was a woman in my theater full on screaming at all the children when they'd shout and get excited at the cameos or lore bits. Like lady, you are in a children's movie, MatPat just walked on screen to make a GameTheory joke, have some fun lol
@@loganicfilms1388He said something like, "lunch is the most important meal of the day," and then someone mentioned breakfast, so he responded, "ya know, some people say that, but it's just a theory!"
My biggest critique is the animatronics look too sapient. What made FNAF scary to me was the vacant stare, the stumbling aimlessly, the soulless eyes. You don't know what they might do if you let them reach you.
i mean i think thats because they... literally are sapient. They aren't supposed to be emotionless vacant robots, the whole point is that they ARE possessed by actual human souls. The movie was clearly highlighting that fact.
@@bnasheeYes they are but what I believe they mean is that they are like wandering, lost, confused and violent souls in the game, and here they show too many emotions so it loses a bit of it’s creepy factor, so I agree with them on that. Cause yes they ARE possessed by real human Children in the lore, but why would it make sense for something “non-living” like animatronics to have the feature to express said emotions? Which is what partly made them so creepy and uncanny at least to me, real souls stuck in inhuman expressionless bodies. Thats’s my view on it at least. Cause wouldn’t it make more sense for them to appear emotionless even if their not? Since they are real souls trapped in a metallic animatronic prison.
@@konkeydongblaster That's what makes Chucky so not-scary for me, he's literally a fully animated small person with a knife, in most adaptations he's not what he should be, a toy posessed by a psychopath. If only they made a scene where Mike is looking at the cameras and notices that one of the animatronics moved just a few feet and say "That's weird, you shouldn't be there", then check the cameras again only to notice another one staring at them right at the camera from the dark with a lifeless creepy look in their face (playing with shadows, lights and angles like the first game). If they did that at least once every one in the theatre would be shitting their pants because you don't need to be a fan of the saga to know that that's terrifying, things slowly moving when you're not looking and only seeing them fully move when its already too late. By the time Mike realises that they're sapient they're playing with Abby being sweet and stuff.
Let me tell yall, the biggest thing for me was walking into my house and seeing my entire family watching this movie. To see them watching this movie and enjoying the wacky concepts and amazing lore was crazy, especially since I used to talk to them about this series as a child watching all the lore unfold from the start of fnaf 1. My crazed ramblings are finally widespread enough that people over the age of 40 now understand fnaf, and the concepts I used to talk about so much
That sounds like a great experience. Having your family finally understand something that you like. And it's FNAF of all things, that's not an easy franchise to hop into, lol.
Vanessa was more or less "pretending" to encourage Abby to play with the animatronics so as not to make them angry, and then when she is alone with Mike, she expresses her true concern because she knows the animatronics' intentions.
I don’t doubt how true that is but its doesn’t change how lame the switch is. If he wasn’t listening when they went outside then she should just straight up tell him once they’re outside
It's worth mentioning that the movie made $130M in the opening weekend on a $20M-$25M budget DESPITE being released on streaming on the same day. That's a huge achievement.
That speaks more about the franchise and the marketing than it does the quality of the movie. Remember, you have to pay BEFORE you watch the movie. Ticket sales, especially only a few days after release, are not an indicator of quality.
That's not an achievement, that's just sad. It shows that fnaf fans will just eat any pile of poo that you put in front of them as long as they're told that Scott was involved in making said poo.
In retrospect, Mike's intro scene is awesome. For a moment I thought it was kind of unnecessary, but after having his trauma explained it totally made sense for me. This is a very deep-rooted trauma.
I literally thought he was gonna be in the right for the first five seconds. Like that cathartic feeling of dread about what if this guy is kidnapping the kid. Mike going full fucking boar really set up his trauma and self deprecating anger.
I saw the movie with my best friend and he was DISTRAUGHT because they gave us no further explanation on the aunt. Like obviously we both hated her but she was lowkey the main antagonist of the first half of the film, and then golden Freddy killed/knocked her out and then... nothing. Like is she dead? Is she not dead? If she's dead, wouldn't there be a police investigation into Mike??
"oh, the owner of the house where I live suddenly disappeared and doesn't answer her phone. Guess she will eventually come back, let's go back to work and let's call my aunt to babysit my sister. Oh hey, my sister is here? How? Where is my aunt?"
Markiplier was also gonna have a cameo, he was gonna be the security guard in the opening scene, but he couldn’t find time to do it because he was filming his own movie. Would’ve been awesome to see though
Remember that they were pretending in that scene and really just wanted to turn Abby into them. The fort scene is supposed to build tension in a unique way. We just saw these animatronics kill 4 people and now they are acting like nothing has happened. We are supposed to think "this happy fun time can't last forever" and "do they know that they killed people" and "don't leave Abby alone" when Micheal walks away to talk to Vanessa. It's dramatic irony, we know what the animatronics are capable of but the characters don't.
@@Buangbuang Vanessa said THEY want her to be like them not that William wanted to kill abby. Also what are you implying? That that was Williams doing? That everything bad was Williams doing? That the spirits talking to her before Micheal worked at the restaurant was William? That the animatronics not killing Michael on the first day because they NEEDED Micheal's permission to take Abby was William's idea? William did not have some sort of mind control over them. All he had was the ability to think he was a friend rather than their killer. As soon as the souls minds were refreshed they immediately killed him. He had no control over them. Also when William was fighting Michael he said "the little ones tell me you have a sister she'll love it here you on the other hand" which implies that the souls are just doing their own thing because he never hints that that was his order.
@@Buangbuang so do you have any actual evidence that the souls are pure of intention because unless you think William had mind control over them there is no reason why they would kill people if they were actually pure. And if it was mind control it would be more than just a picture showing he was a friend it would be like actual mind control over every movement.
Arguably the best part of this film was the animatronic design. The fact that the suits can either be worn or be used as actual animatronics is so cool
I think Vanessa's "mood swing" make a little bit of sense because she's holding a bunch of seemingly contradictory truths. The animatronics are dangerous.. They're also still just ghost kids. She likes seeing them indulge in a little happiness anywhere they can.. But she also knows any moment, at her father's command, it can get very dangerous, very FAST. I think she allowed herself to let her guard down just a bit, and once she was taken out of it for a second, she kind of snaps back and in a moment of clarity, and realizes she's risking yet another child's life for a few hours of ghost kid fun. If that make sense at all?
Thats what I thought too! I dont get why people seem to forget that Vanessa is human She lets Abby have fun, but at some point she realizes she made a terrible and unforgiveble mistake so it causes stress and she tries to fix it by making sure Mike wont come back to the pizzeria with Abby
yee exactly, after the whole reveal that she was supposed to keep them distracted for her father, it makes sense that she'd decide she doesn't actually want anyone dying again, especially those two, and then push them away as a result
I also think part of the reason is because she realizes that Mike brought her for his own selfish reasons. He wanted to find his brother's kidnapper, and Abby could do it, and he didn't think or at the time care about the dangers. He knew the animatronics were dangerous when he realized the ghost kid that cut him was foxy. So knowing that he put his sister in danger for those reasons, really pissed her off, cause who WOULDN'T it piss off?
@@Blackedoutwolveyou can say that's a humanistic trait, sure. But it still doesn't make sense plot wise and just confuses the audience on their initial viewing of the film
Charlie talking about him and Josh going way back on the set of Mockingjay Part 1 is hilarious. Josh was the best thing about this film, and he delivered.
This is literally the movie that I have been the most excited about in 3 years. It isn’t even about the games, it is the universe and lore. Also Josh Hutchison is an overlooked gem, thanks for teaching him how to act, Charlie!
The audience carried my experience with the movie. Every time something related to the lore of fnaf would happen, the audience would cheer. It’s probably the best experience I’ve ever had in theaters.
i literally walked out of the bathroom after and heard people talking about the lore. also when matpat and cory came on screen the audience went pretty insane
Tbh I wished the audience when I watched was more temper, there was 1 dude who spoiled a part of the movie, another group were throwing popcorn and being loud as hell, like I appreciate the enthusiasm but stfu i cant hear the movie
My main two issues with the movie was that it didn't go nearly hard enough on it's mystery aspect and they played it way too safe on the kills because of that PG rating. I really wish they kept the characters in the dark about the true nature of place until the near end, and even then still withhold even more. I wasn't expecting a series of movies from this but it still would've been awesome if it had it's own self contained mystery that gave us something to speculate on.
I kind of am curious how they’ll make the second movie, with all the purple guy and stuff. The best part, if it will happen, will of course no doubt be the “Connection Terminated” scene.
YES 100% MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT. Them revealing that the animatronics are just possessed by the kids, and that they are actually capable of being "friendly", took basically ALL of the tension out of the setting. Mystery was gone and with it, the horror.
Too safe on the kills? A woman is bitten in half on screen, and a man has his face mauled off by a cupcake, and we see the aftermath. That's about as gory as PG-13 will allow.
@@samhenley7156 And the bad guy slowly bleeds to death from getting impaled multiple times in the gut like a damn voodoo doll in an iron maiden. How much gore was the OP expecting out of a PG-rated movie?
Well Idk about the “way too safe” part on all aspects on the kills. We literally saw the babysitter being bitten in half which I thought was pretty accurate to the lore compare to whatever else was going on.
Vanessa only threatened Mike after he told her that he was communicating with the spirits in his dream. She realized that he might find William Afton, and she doesn't mind him dying, because she's in on it (considering that its her father and she's covering up all his murders) but she doesn't want a kid to die, which is why she flips out on him. I hope this helped u understand the scene and the character's change in motivations
Im gonna be honest, the thing with Mike going into his dreams to try and remember his brother's kidnapping is a cool enough concept to base a movie around on it's own
That shift from thriller and convention horror movie was great. I was wondering how they'd tackle the night shift phase. The dream sequence thing was very clever.
I just wish we would’ve gotten more horror scenes similar to the game. I think those would’ve translated really well to a movie. It was disappointing that the only scene of them going after people took place in daylight
I know. But I really hoped that I would see you there. Just jumping nked on Freddy fazbears big clock with u tongue sticking out on a thoughtless face lost in pleasure
I was really hoping Mike would realize what was wrong with them while watching the cameras so was kinda disappointed he just slept the entire time he worked until the last two night basically
@@haileyhay204 i just realized, it wasn't even five nights, honestly kinda dissapointed with how this was adapted from the game, sometimes didnt even felt like fnaf
I don't usually go to movie theaters but this was an exception. I honestly went to see it with friends and like, it's a fun movie. The atmosphere in the movie theater was great too, you could tell who came to see it ironically and who took it seriously and like people clapping at scenes and stuff. That's is how a movie theater should be in my opinion, it felt like a big event rather than just a movie. But ig it'd suck a lot more if you watched it alone on a monitor, on your phone. But I loved the experience alongside the movie and as a child I knew my fnaf so it didn't even fly over my head. I liked it, it's a nice lil movie imo.
It just would’ve been nice to see the lore we know now, actually play out well. It might’ve been nice for you but it’s not too far fetched to hope it stayed true to the story.
@@OodieSoodie I agree, me and my wife watched it and every 5-10 mins we would point at the screen and go "OMG FNAF REFRENCE!" i think it couldve used some more lore but as a start it seems like they're going to do it pretty well. Definitely has some issues but overaul it was really fun to watch
The animatronics building forts was my favorite scene. I think it added to the scary atmosphere of the movie. The animatronics acting cute makes them feel more like little children. That's what makes freddy's so scary. The tragicness caused by a force of pure evil. Someone who would hurt something so little.
@@cds7012same, i watched it yesterday and although i was confused the whole time, i did genuinely enjoy it and would probably watch it again if i had the chance
For me, I just watched it and just was terrible. A waste of time. Was not even fun. Maybe because I don’t understand the lore but regardless just not good.
@@osvaldorubalcava9721 People regard this movie highly because it was apart of their childhood. It doesn’t mean it’s good but being “blinded by nostalgia” is a real thing.
Honestly I like that they went balls deep with the fort scene, if they half assed it it would have been just cringe but since they fully embraced it it ended up being more goofy
My thoughts exactly, so many people thought that they was mindless animatronics that murder people, but the mere idea of Willam Afton controlling the robots like some sort of minions reminded me so much of the twisted ones novel.
Not for everybody, a wet dream for fans. When MatPat came on screen, everyone in the theater cheered louder than in No Way Home with Tobey Maguire. One of my favorite movie theater experiences ever. 😂
I never gasped as hard as I did once I realized he was on screen. We went to an early showing so the theater wasn't packed. I can't tell you how happy I was to see him on screen and how funny it was to see my parents' reaction to me reacting to MatPat, not knowing the significance of him being there.
I think the fort scene was really important because we tend to forget that there are little children in those suits and that they were completely robbed of life and their childhood. I admit it was goofy for people not into the lore, but it was nice to see that the spirits have a childish nature to them rather than just being continuously resentful.
These are children their vengeful spirits. I agree the fort scene is important. Its important because of how fundamentally it ruins the story. People want to rose tinted glasses this shit so bad just admit this was a bad film for Fnaf, for horror, and a fundamentally bad movie. Bad characters, attrocious pacing, chock full of nothing but fanservice. horrible kills and a lack kills in general, and just plain boring.
@@Fitzness1The most I’ll admit is that it’s definitely hard for people not into fnaf to watch. But when it all comes down it what matters most is what the audience likes. I’m sorry that the movie was boring to you but that’s still a subjective opinion in the end. Since a lot of people, myself included had an amazing time watching it, and while I could tell people who wouldn’t get the references seemed overall uninterested… What kept me glued to my seat was the references in cameos, I found a whole new level of investment just from not wanting to miss any of the references they managed to squeeze into this singular movie and it’s what helped me leave the film excited for more.
SPOILERS: I definitely think that they could have put more effort into keeping the Afton family closer to canon by having Mike be William's son instead of Vanessa. I feel that the reveal that Paul or whatever his name was was actually William Afton would have been insaaane if both us and Mike had only heard his voice on the phone thus acting as sort of a shield from Mike recognizing that it was his father the whole time. I also think that one of the most important aspects of the lore in general is that Mike feels guilty because he /actively killed/ his little brother and that's what motivates him to come back to Freddy's time and time again and gives him that really powerful unstoppable drive. Vanessa could totally still be William's pawn like in Security Breach, maybe she could have been the older sister of one of William's victims or something and that's how he came to manipulate her.
I like what they went with. I don't think any amount of sticking to the lore or doing a lot of jumpscares would have actually made fans more happy. They did their own thing while still being fnaf
@DeezNuts-wg7wu The thing is I've been totally fine with them not sticking to the lore, but if they're gonna do that what they come up with should be compelling. I felt like it just didn't live up to what we have in lore.
i actually liked the scenes where freddy and the boys were chill like that, gotta remember, they are kids, kids need to have some actual fun once in a while
I actually really liked the part where the animatronics built a fort and acted like kids. They are kids after all, so it makes sense. I just wish they went harder on the horror aspect to make up for it, and more jumpscares would have done it I think.
For a pg13 movie. This was not bad at all with the scares and gore. The background was executed perfectly. It was solid for the first movie of the franchise.
For real. The animatronics were on screen for longer than I was expecting and the set design looked great. Even though the script and pacing kinda sucks, Im willing to rewatch this movie just to look at it.which i can't even say that for the MARIO MOVIE
The fact this movie exists is a personal victory for fans. Is it perfect? Of course not. But with how large Scott Cawthon’s involvement with the movie was, I’m happy with how it turned out. 8/10
I think some of the bubbly scenes with Abby worked well since the point of the animatronics was to manipulate her into being her friend and eventually turning her into one or killing her, Vanessa’s character was confusing though
Im pretty sure she was helping her dad with what was going on. So she's not as confusing at the end of the movie. Cuz i too was also confused on her character. Obviously she knows what's going on, im pretty sure she cleaned up or helped clean up those group of vandals halfway through the movie. At the climax of the movie the dad grabs her and says you werent supposed to tell him (Mike) anything, u were supposed to keep him in the dark. Pretty sure she's complicit with what's all going on. As the story progresses she gets more bonded with Mike and the little girl so she doesnt want to continue the deal. Also someone else mentioned in here and i think makes quite a lot of sense that her (Vanessa) dad is listening to them in the pizza place so that's also the weird tonal shift of this is the best day fort thing and then to outside when she says never bring her back here
@@NaruBrilu that makes a bit more sense, I had the idea she knew but it just kinda flew over my head. And makes a bit more sense why it’s harder for her to tell mike exactly what’s going on. Thanks for your input :)
I feel like that scene wasn't a bad idea, I just wish it was done a little differently in fnaf 2, in one of the phone calls, the guy mentions that the toy animatronics have been acting off. They play and act around children just fine but with adults they just stare. I wish they had some of that, have them be all sweet with Abby but then just slightly uncomfortable with Mike. Lingering on a shot of one of them just staring at Mike for a bit or showing more of how Mike is conflicted and uncomfortable in this situation
I felt the fort building scene didn't try to lead it to a happy environment, but more of a sad one. Cuz you've got these big haunted animatronics, but they're still kids at their core. Showing that moment of child-like behavior just hit different
@@Natha_Kun the robots were not pretending in that scene dude, they were just having fun. Vanessa was the one pretending as to not let Afton know that she was considering helping them. That's why she completely switched moods outside is Because the robots and Afton couldn't hear her then
The animatronics/costumes looked really cool, the look of the pizzeria was also pretty cool and it had that eerie kind of atmosphere, and the acting was pretty good for the most part, but it wasn’t very scary or even thrilling to watch. There were also things that were never answered or addressed again, which is always annoying lol Also, I’m sorry, but I couldn’t take it the ‘wholesome’ moments with the animatronics seriously. Like, I know they’re possessed by the spirits of kids, but seeing giant robot animals just hanging out looks so funny 😭 Overall, it was a pretty okay movie. 6/10 (I was gonna give it a 5/10, but it gets a bonus point for having Matthew Lillard in it lol)
Oh! The fort scene does have a pretty simple explanation. The animatronics are still just kids possessing them, so of course they’re gonna still have those fun moments. Abby is a way to keep them calm, especially if you see how Freddy relaxed a little around Mike when she introduced him as her brother.
I went with my 5 friends today, and our opinions were totally different. I am really into lore, and I really liked it, because I didn't have high expectations, while one of my friends was saying that it was soo bad. I even had a friend who didn't know anything about this, he only new "Haha, Freddy go haurf" but he actually really liked it.
Charlie roleplaying the average fnaf fan by talking about fnaf without taking a shower. Truly immersive stuff Drinking game: take a shot whenever someone says anything along the lines of "anime" or "pfp." Take two shots for Everytime they combine the two together. Have fun edit: okay so I see what went wrong here There was a bot that was spamming christian quotes from the bible, and I made a comment that ratio'd it. The bot's name was feetyeet8538(the irony). The bot comment got deleted, but everyone's replies to it stayed the same. So now it seems people are attacking someone talking about christianity when it was a bot spamming it,and clearly that upset people. Now that the context is here,let's all act our ages
I'm surprised nobody is talking about the SOUND DESIGN! Genuinely one of the best aspects of this movie. The unsettling clanking of metal as the animatronics slowly walked down hallways to the terminator like sounds when they move, it's all soooo good! And the music is also surprisingly incredible too!
I was actually really disappointed with it's music. The animatronics only ever sang 1 song. And all of the music was too subtle. The actual fx noise was good but it would have added to something. It was super disappointing because I was expecting old branded 80's music charm to help date the pizzeria
I didn't like how they made the animatronics sound when they move their arms/close their eyes etc. in the games its quiet, and i think that would've been scarier instead of having loud sound clues for everything.
The reason I saw Vennesa's shift as expected is, because she was having fun, then Abbey got hurt and with that she realized, brought back to reality and out of happy times, exactly what was going on in this place.
A very level-headed, honest review. I love it! Personally, as a not avid Horror watcher, was pretty entertained. Yes it was silly at times, but it was genuinely temse at times waiting for the jumpscares if and when they were going to show. I hope they lean more into the horror next time and give it a proper "closer to R rated" treatment. (Maybe)
Watching this movie was a trip. Catching certain easter eggs and peeling my eyes open to watch the animatronics actually become puppy dogs, it definitely was a Fazbear experince.
@@BadBame962You saw it too!?? I just looked at the gray freddy looking thing and I realized it wasnt that, it was Sparky!!I said it louder than shouldve in the theaters so I heard someone behind me say "Sparky the dog..!?" to a friend At one point I thought I was super blind but now I know I wasnt : )
@@BadBame962 fyi the director confirmed the dog animatronic isnt sparky. Its fetch from the books. Although the diner that mat-pat works at was called Sparky's
To me it seemed like Vanessa was playing along while she was in the pizzeria's building, but then got serious and real as soon as she left the place, hence the "sudden" shift in attitude. The movie established earlier that animatronics are able to tell who is there to cause harm and will go after them, so its beneficial for everyone to be on their best behavior when inside the establishment, thus Vanessa plays along.
i think it’s because mike explains his dream in the broom closet. He explains how abby has had the same dreams as his him and vanessa understood the consequences
the one thing that pissed me off is the dream he always had. like, his mom spills her drink on a wooden picnic table. and she leaves to go get something to clean it up? what are you cleaning up its just going to soak into the table. who would go get something to clean that up. please i cant be the only one
I feel like the parts where it was all happy and bubbly only added to the scare, because as someone who sees the brutal potential of these animatronics, how wholesome it was puts me on the edge of my seat in expectation of a bad thing happening
I don’t really think it did it too well because I think it went a little bit overboard with him stabbing Vanessa his own daughter when in the games he held his family as the most important thing pre spring trap
I found myself enjoying the scenes where our main characters got to hang out with the animatronics because, throughout the franchise, we've focused on how the dead children are murderous and vengeful ghosts, but we've never experienced much of them being children, outside of maybe the 'Happiest Day' minigame.
I agree, at first i thought it was very cringe. but the more i thought about it, I was glad they showed this perspective of animatronics. I've been a fan since the first game and that was the first time i really understood how unfortunate those kids are even sympathize
They could've executed it better. But the concept is absolutely perfect and would've been amazing if they went with a more eerie and unnerving feel to it rather than going full happy goofy mode and making it look more like the screenwriters were high on some Tumblr fanfiction.
i didn't, really breaks whatever tension they could have built up to that point. turns out, you can just hang out with them and they won't murder you. how fun
I think you mightve missed the part of why vanessa got so serious and it was because mike kept pressing her for information after he found out vanessa knew a lot of the stuff that was going on and that she was somewhat related to it
this is the only time I've seen that movie makers actually did the 3d models right.... I don't even know why but every other videogame movie just doesnt get it right. Not even mario was safe
I honestly did not like the animatronics. While they looked straight out of the game, that wasn't necessarily a "good" thing. They looked like they were CGI or photoshopped in from a Gmod video. If you look at old animatronics on Google, something about those makes it look more, for lack of a better word, "Right" than the ones in the movie. Also, the glowy red squinty eyes made them look even more goofy. Even when I saw the trailer, I was disappointed in how they looked. It looked fan made tbh
i dont get why everyone is saying they looked so good in the movie springtrap looked like absolute dog and all the other ones besides foxy just looked off
Thank you for talking about the issues with Vanessa being the Lore Keeper and not getting to be a fleshed out character. It does feel like there's scenes missing to actually Show us what was going on instead of us speculating afterward or being told by her. The rule in movies is to Show Don't Tell
I really enjoyed the movie and i will admit there was some scenes that kinda unnerved me but i like the idea of the movie having this cute and scary side to it which unironically fits with Five Nights at Freddy's in general, i loved the cameos and the credits theme in this movie and from what I'm guessing, i think there will be a sequel to it or some sort of novel adaptation.
In a way, I think the fort scene was intended to show two things: one being the attachment the kids developed to Abby (and the fact that they were still kids), and also the sort of... cognitive dissonance or emotional disconnect Vanessa had going on because of Afton's manipulation of her and the children (for her to have kept this secret, he clearly has a lot of control over her, much like with the kids), vs the building relationship between her, Mike, and Abby. It was awkward and weird and didn't do the greatest job of showing that, but it's what I got from it, at least. But at the same time the movie was being pretty on-brand there, since whatever the point of the fort scene, it's always been Cawthorn's MO to make you look for the meaning behind everything. Right down to the spelled-out phrase at the end of the credits XD
i also think it was supposed to like you said show there was a person in there like how the books did the books went more in depth in the personality of the kids and thats what the movie did it very much tried to parody the book without having Charlee as a plot device and instead having Mike and Abby
What the scene really was was the animatronics trying to make abby feel confortamble so she wanted to stay with them, remenber they still were trying to shove her inside a suit and were still controlled by william
Saw it at home last night, it was a solid movie. Not bad, not great, just an overall solid movie. I did, however, go batshit insane when MatPat and William said the things
I feel like if the animatronics were more run down and deteriorated, them giving people "the stink eye" would be a little more intimidating and less silly. Would make scenes where they're playing with the girl a little creepier as well. Overall a decent fun movie to watch
it would be overall better if it just kinda went with the lore that people build up over the years, and if the animatronics were filled with hatred and tried to kill
@@grungusghoul4372that is about exactly how they would look in actuality after not being used for a long time. You don’t understand how the world works if you think they’d look deteriorated 😂 It would’ve been an incredible suspension of disbelief if they had looked run-down. What exists in the building to cause them to run down lmfao?
@@grungusghoul4372if you take a gorgeous, vintage car and stick it in a garage for decades and come back, what do you see? THE EXACT SAME CAR. it doesn’t look like ducking The Last of Us lol. Use your brain if it isn’t too bleached
I actually enjoyed it, the whole theater's synchronized gasps at a couple of parts and everyone freaking out about the cameos made it a fun experience.
i was also confused by the tone shifting. i like blurted out in the theater during night 5 "What am i supposed to feel!?" because I was just sent from a tense scene to a silly scene AND THEY'RE CONNECTED
I love the idea that they can take the criticism from this movie and apply it to a sequel should we get the chance to have one (highly likely from the opening weekend earnings and record smashed). I loved the movie personally but I did think some scenes had some deleted sequences that needed to be there like the news video that was in the trailers that apparently was deleted (stupid idea). Overall it was a good movie and I definitely would watch it again, especially the intro. And Matthew Lillard crushed it with limited screen time.
When Max was bit in half there was a child who screamed "WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87?" and the entire theatre laughed. My experience for the movie was AMAZING.
I don't even like fnaf anymore but I have been waiting for this movie to come out since I was like 10 so I needed to watch it and honestly it was such a nostalgia trip, which I wasn't expecting. Also Mike and Abby was such a good dynamic especially as an older sibling some parts of the movie made me cry
The thing is, this is Scott’s first ever movie and as his first movie I think he did a great job with blumhouse. Maybe the next FNAF movie could learn from these mistakes y’know
it just felt so good to let go of all those emotions and opinions one would have going into a usual movie and just have fun enjoying something that I’ve waited for literally since I was child, AND EVEN AT THAT they still had some pretty damn good shots, good movie for sure.
FNaF has always been a blend of happy fun times and sheer horror. I personally think that it was great that they had a few goofy scenes because it plays to the games well.
exactly its soo well made Cringe at times but Its more of a STORY that you watch than Horror and its amazing! Something clear like that to be given to the community not only by clues and theories!
It took me a second to recognize him. I remember him from SLC Punk, 13 Ghost, Hackers and a few other movies. I knew he had to be a villain. Didn't tell my kids though.
11:20 The point you made here about the aunt is SOOOO much worse too because she even says she will pay the people $1000 to do the job so its even more stupid
I literally just got home from seeing it. It was so packed in the theater and so many people took other peoples seats they had to shut the movie down for like 20 min until they got everyone in the right seats, it got wild lmaooo
