I like how everyone always brings up "Plushies take Manhattan" when it comes to FNAF's many rejected scripts, yet noone talks about the script where apparently a bunch of teens come across an animatronic facility that's being run by the US military.
The fact that Mike, with his dead aunt in his house, carrying a comatose police officer into a hospital, and his most recent place of employment being destroyed, is NOT in jail by the end of the movie is really funny to me
I was wondering that. Technically speaking, everything just about lined up perfectly in a way that made him look like the culprit for everything that happened. You would think he would've at least been put on trial

Apparently there was a deleted scene shown in the test screenings where Golden Freddy jumpscared Aunt Jane and she lost consciousness, so maybe she really did just pass out
Imagine if the FNaF 2 movie had a scene where Withered Foxy is trying to tell Toy Bonnie that "Freddy" is actually the nightguard but he keeps on being blinded by a flashlight.
the thing i remember the most about watching the fnaf movie in the theaters was somebody ripped ass really loudly and then seconds later another person ripped ass as if they were communicating with eachother
William actually says “I always Come back” because he was Stu from scream, and actually survived that movie, and changed his identity to Afton so he could escape to Utah.
Y’know I think a way better way to work the “I always come back” line into the movie would’ve been to reference where it actually comes from. That being the Fnaf 3 trailer. To defend it for a second like the line was in reference to William inevitably returning to the pizzeria constantly to cause chaos and harm people, which he does imply to do in the movie where he stuffs the guards and clean up people that die there. So in that context it makes sense but putting the line in that specific spot seems really out of place Like if he held the mask up above his head and said “You know I’ll come back…” “I always do…” And then set up I always come back for him, actually coming back from the dead. But whatever I soyjacked at the scene and the actual visual goes hard af
I really liked the dynamic between Abby and Mike. Most believable performance out of the whole film and it's where the movie had the most heart. The FNAF Movie felt like a glorified goosbumps special at times but at it's core, it's a story about broken families and trying to move on from past trauma. That's what the animatronics always were, the personification of a traumatic event that the the spirits are forced to relive over and over again. They all had families at one point and now all they have is eachother and ironically the family of the man that killed them to look after them. Also I'm glad I'm not the only person who immediately thought of Judge Doom when I saw that part.
I wish what you said resonated more with the actual focus that FNAF's story ended up taking. I hate how the games focus less on the inherent horror of what happened to those children, and focuses more on convoluted mysteries that advance nothing of the plot and purple guy shenanigans

He sees the toy animatronic and says "Hmm, Freddy has gotten a little fat,* chuckles to himself and turns around * just because it is called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza doesn't mean you have to eat all of it"
Gotta love it how they explain practically nothing about Golden Freddy. They don’t even give him a name, and for some unknown reason he doesn’t even show up during the climax(Didn’t feel like it, I guess).

The exact deal with golden Freddy is never explained even in the games tbf. That said, the first time I watched this movie I didn't evne notice it was supposed to be him, it's so out of nowhere lmfao.
You know, not everything needs to be directly explained right away. Some things can be left as mysteries. And there are gonna be sequels anyway so they definitely have time for that.
There are three things I would Change about the movie if I were in charge: One: During that scene where abby goes missing in the restaurant briefly, instead of Mike instantly finding her being tickled by some robots, there is an extended scene of him searching for her before finding her in parts n' service with freddy or something. It would add some more tense Mike VS animatronic action that I thought the movie lacked a bit, and it would serve to make the animatronics feel more threatening. Two: A little more Afton screentime. I think just a little more buildup to his final showdown would be a little better. Maybe just make it a thirty second long scene of an unidentified man in a dark room putting on the rabbit suit. Three: Doug should have been the one to defeat Afton.
yeah, also for afton, i feel like the image vanessa gave mike shouldve been Afton out of his costume, because then mike and the audience would realize "HEY THATS THE GUY!!! THE STEVE MINECRAFT GUY!!!" , since m seeing in comments that even some fnaf fans think that william and steve were supposed to be 2 different characters but accidentally have the same actor or whatever.
Your comment about “I always come back” is EXACTLY how I saw it. There’s no ‘always’ here, it’s just “I will come back in Five Nights At Freddy’s 2: A Tail of Two Freddies”
The one part of the movie that doesnt deserve the hate it gets is the fort building scene. I thought it was great, and in a slightly better structured movie it could have really shown the tragedy of what happened to the kids.
The big problem I had with the movie was that it felt like nothing had consequences. The aunt sends a gang to ransack the pizzeria and they don't come back, so why does literally nothing happen? Like, wouldn't she want to at least try and find out what happened? And don't they have families? Why did nothing happen? There were other things that bothered me like how totally gimmicky the whole "draw a picture" thing was, just felt stupid. I am not a fan of FNAF, I just like stories and I like understanding them and tbh it felt very poorly written and (like the mario movie) over reliant on fans' pattern recognition
The Gang ransacking the Pizzeria did have consequences, like Mike being forced to stop his hunt for his brother, or Mike being forced to take Abby with him to work starting the 3 acts plot, with all 4 members of the gang being adults and them dying on night 3 I highly doubt they’d be considered missin GB after 2 days
@@alecpheonix0761 But that's an incredibly stupid logic and makes no sense at all. If I lock all the doors of my house and someone breaks in and robs me, I'm not the criminal. It's even stupider when a police officer says this, a police officer THAT WAS RIGHT THERE WHEN HE LOCKED THE DOOR.
Tbh this is what I expected the movie to be like A rather fun movie but with flaws just like any other movie I didn’t expect some cinematic masterpiece that will make the theater stand up with teary eyes clapping. I think that it works well for both fans and just people who love campy horror movies like killer klowns from outer space or Freddy vs Jason. My dad who knows absolutely nothing about FNaF other than it’s called “fab night at Freddy” and there’s a hippo Mr rogers and he liked it a lot. I see it as a pretty good family Halloween movie night kind of film and I think that works well with what it tried to accomplish.
iirc “I always come back” is a reference to the line “He will come back. He always does.” from the FNaF3 trailer. I do think something closer to that could’ve been cooler. Also why does The Cupcake do more shit in this movie than Freddy
@@HeroKnight14 I meant the use of the line "I always come back" as a whole was a reference to the line in the FNaF3 trailer. Even when he says it in FNaF6. Also yeah this movie is funny as hell lol
The scene where Freddy Fazballs dicks down Ryan Gosling and says “call me Fred Figglehorn one more time” and Ryan Gosling says “It Freddin Time” and he takes Ryan Gosling down on some gangster shi, and 9 Months later, Ryan Gosling and Freddy Fazballs get their newborn baby
In defense of critics, they kind of have to provide an objective overview of a movie, you cant really use your own opinions when rating a movie Edit: I like men
SERIOUSLY. This is my biggest problem with people who hate critics, it’s because they have no sense of basic plot writing characterization and narrative along with acting cinematography etc. Like there are very basic standards and lines of reasoning, when it comes to critiquing these things. Critics are always first looking to see if those fundamental things are there before they get invoked in a spectacle. It’s why movies like Captain Marvel or Jumanji 2018 have say a 75% score on rotten tomatoes, both with a very different audience reactions: it’s because critics are looking for basic writing, foundations and fulfillment, even if it’s boring. Mario movie has like 55% rating because it’s plot is pretty stupid but it’s considerably fun, but definitely gives cash grab vibes all the time. The movie adaptation of Les Mis is an already Great story with OK to horrible performances. Last Jedi and frozen are. 91% I believe, because critics can’t based it off of what fans personally wanted out of it, they’re looking for a basic narrative and characterization and that’s when people really lose their minds because they don’t know the difference between heavily disliking the direction and what would make it bad(both have their problems, but nothing fundamentally detrimental). I wouldn’t even be this anal about it if people did not try to make objective cases about why movies are good and bad using the same aspects of media criticism five nights at Freddy’s fans take the cake when it comes to being obnoxious. I didn’t even enjoy this movie as a fan at all The most fan service we got is the animatronics themselves and the fort building scene, along with some other animatronics in other games that are really just thrown the side.
@@absolutecreature7217 Just so you know: 29% on rotten tomatoes only means 29% of the critics gave it a positive review while 71% gave it a negative review. For all you know, it could just be 71% gave the movie a 50% score and the rest gave it 100%. Edit: just checked, most of the low scores are 2/5 or 4/10 scores, literally the bare minimum to be a bad score.
As a long time fnaf fan who hasn't kept up since security breach, when I walked out I was unsure of how to feel, trying to tell myself I liked it, but I just didn't.
I'm not a very big fan of fnaf, but last night me and a couple friends (who were all pretty big fans of it) watched the movie. And I honestly genuinely enjoyed it. So I mean, it's not ONLY enjoyable for fans. Then again, I probably did enjoy the movie because I watched it with my friends and they all enjoyed it... So maybe you are right.
Don’t how it took 8 years for Scott to approve of this script. Its like he was cooking up this movie to be some sort of cinematic masterpiece only for it to just be mid or bad in the end. Like he could’ve focused on the simple story of Mike losing his mind each night at the pizzeria as the animatronics come close to him rather than just a butch of references and confrimations of the lore.
I think they would’ve gotten much less backlash if they advertised the movie for what it was really meant to be: a campy thriller movie for people who enjoy the games or people who like campy horror
I know this is probably more of a problem with FNAF in general, but I dislike how William Afton, a child murderer, is treated as if he’s some generic super villain, even to the point where “I always come back” has become his signature catchphrase. I blame FNAF SL and FFPS for how he’s received as a character, but even with the mad scientist stuff, those games still try to paint him in a serious light. Here it just doesn’t work for me. Instead of showing Afton as intelligent, but still cowardly towards death (as he was in FNAF 3’s final minigame), he’s shown embracing his death with pride. His death and the utterance of his catchphrase doesn’t really make sense, because Afton wouldn’t have known if he would come back. The movie also gives no good motive for why Afton kills. We aren’t shown that Afton is mentally unstable or anything, just that he’s arrogant. Afton also doesn’t play much of a big role. Even though he’s the whole reason for a majority of events in the movie, he’s never shown but two times. And this isn’t in a way where there’s this big payoff where we see that he’s the one pulling the strings, but more like him just randomly showing up so the plot can continue. In short, I feel as if FNAF has lost the point of the kind of character Afton is meant to be. Intelligent, yet delusional and scared of the consequences that his actions may bring. I think Matthew Lillard was great, but I don’t like how Afton was written here.
Gotta disagree with you on some points William would know or at least think he’d come back- he knows the spirits of his victims possess the animatronics-so he suspects he’ll be back if he dies inside the suit. As for the lack of motive, this is something the original games also didn’t provide. We never knew what his motives were in the original games except for the implication that he found joy in killing. I don’t think the lack of motive is a huge flaw but it would’ve added to the film.
@@mr.repairman3508 yeah. I do think motive would be good for fleshing out William as a character. Even if the games didn’t give much of a motive, the movie could’ve improved on it. As for the springlock failure, I still think Afton would not go out so willing to die. While both FNAF 3 and the FNAF movie showed William dying by his own creation, I think FNAF 3’s springlock failure is more satisfying in how it shows William’s death in a way which he is as powerless to the ones he once tormented. While the movie does that in a way, it feels like William won more than he had lost.
While I am bummed about Fnaf + but at the same time i care about the creator (Phisnom), and he already left the fan community when Security Breach came out, but he was just forced to make Fnaf +. The way it got cancelled was pretty messy, but I’m glad Phill is doing better.
6:50 Honestly the fact that it looks a little poorly made is what freaked me out mkre when I saw it. It gave me similar vibes to the circus baby ice cream mini game where baby eats one of the children.
I loved when Freddie looked towards the audience and said its freddin time and Fred all over them truly a Fred moment 1:08 💀 no way he put the future man scene
Even as a fan I thought the movie sucked for the majority, it was really good for the first 20 minutes, dogshit, and then good again for the last 15. I’m glad it was successful and the acting, set, and effects were super impressive, but I hope they take audience criticism in the sequel.
yea. like, if it focused mainly on FNAF 1, or maybe FNAF 2 (since it's a prequel to FNAF 1) and FNAF 2 only, it'd probably be better. plus, if they didn't have random characters from different FNAF games. also hide some secrets inside the movie, leading to an ARG of some kind
for me just felt like they did everything to keep the current rating even though you could see many of the kills in the movie would have been better if we actually could see them as almost all of them are cut out to keep the rating down to what it is what I think annoys me the most is the ending scene of the movie, there is barely any blood from afton getting springlocked where you can tell is also reduced to not get the R rating I'm guessing and the movie confirms to me that the movie could be more scary in the film when someone gets legit cut in half so I feel disappointed more then anything that the movie has the potential to have brutal, gore scares but reels it back for the pg-13 rating that really makes the movie to me, and I'm guessing others disappointed as well the movie is in a decent state on release but had so much more potential the film director more or less stripped away by going for the pg-13 only route.
@@sandunderman9865maybe some people actually enjoyed it. Not everyone is going to think like you. I know it’s hard to take in. But everyone’s different Accept it
The Fnaf movie is the ultimate culmination of what the Super Mario Bros movie is. A movie that's made to please fans but not much anyone else, resulting in the fans loving it but critics and general audiences not so much. Now fans are once again trying to gaslight the internet into thinking that alone makes it a good movie and that critics are stupid for disagreeing.
i love your review videos because when you rag on something you don't take it that seriously . a lot of the people who criticize the movie treat it like it was the eighth sin or something but this was fun and it made me laugh 👍 good job gold star
Honestly i think it was the opposite, it felt more for general audiences/kids than hardcore fans. Also considering how huge fnaf is its not like making the movie exclusively for fans is a bad idea.
I really prefer the cryptic and dark storytelling of the original series. It allowed you to piece together a story each new game. Eventually all the pieces came into place with FNAF 6, Pizzeria Simulator and the story was perfect. I guess my point is that the Five Nights at Freddy's movie had a lot of missed potential. It could have been more welcoming to newcomers, just telling the story of the games. I guess the movie just ain't a great follow up to the games, at least how I see it.
I’m both a fan of fnaf and a movie fan, I think the first half was bad and the pacing was even worse, but I really liked the second half. 5/10, equally good and bad, perfectly balanced as all things should be
Honestly the fnaf movie was one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched in my opinion but it was so bad I couldn’t help but enjoy myself the whole time and it happens to be one of my favorite theater experiences now so i still love it :)
I think this would’ve worked better as a 7-8 episode streaming series, in which the A plot focuses on Mike working at Freddy’s and being attacked by the Animatronics and the B plot could’ve followed him or another character unraveling the restaurant’s history and what happened to the missing children. It could even give William Afton more screen time as his Steve Raglan persona as Mike goes to him to learn a bit more about the restaurant. The Vanessa-William connection also could’ve been changed to just change her to someone who witnessed William murder one of the children as a child herself and was forced to become a follower to him to avoid being killed by him.
In the end, isn't a videogame movie's job to firstly appeal to the fans of the game? This movie is kinda like the "Anti Resident Evil Movie", because that shitshow of a series didn't appeal to the prior fanbase (and also sucked in general).
12:24 I would put that phrase like in the last scene with him in the Springbonnie suit, saying "I will come back, I'll always come back!" Instead of just "oh, he said it he said the thing!"
I just watched your videos can you stop creating more masterpieces like this faster than EDP going through kid's DMs? Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THAT AFTON'S CATCHPHRASE SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS ORIGINALLY FROM CHUCKY, I'VE NOTICED THAT SINCE I RESTARTED MY CHUCKY ARC.
As a fan. I thought this movie was okay. Could’ve been way better though I feel. Also yeah I wanted it to be rated R to see more blood in a scene we never got which would be Afton luring the kids in the back room and going all fruit ninja. That’s just my take tho. 7:57 I also would argue that demolishes any threat or surprise later bc they already were a lil evil as we saw in the beginning. I would’ve been satisfied if though if the kids got more character development and screen time period. Whole time I just didn’t care because they all apart from G. Freddy’s spirit got like 5 seconds of screen time with no dialogue on their past. Afton also got lien THREE SECONDS AND HE WAS SO GOOD WHEN HE WAS ANGRY. But like u said even with the iffy script.
I went to go see it with my family. Obviously my opinion on the movie is biased but when i asked them what they thought they all enjoyed the movie. I thought the movie was great as a fan but so did they as non-fans. I dont think the movie deserves this much slack. I would not call this a bad movie. It has flaws but so does every movie ever and this one set out on a specific mission and *I* think it delivered.
It’s not a bad movie, but I woudln’t say that good either, it’s okay, they could have done better, can’t say how but I feel like it was rushed or something…idk
I’ve been a fan for a long time so this movie was….. great for me. But also the effects i think. Those really make it better. The animatronics are so well made. And that’s the only other thing i care about. Practical effects. They’re so fun to see. Also the kid actors did a good job. And that’s the extent of my care beyond general enjoyment of fanservice content.
It's very stupid when fans say that you can't criticize movie that was made "for the fans". If it's for the fans, then why the fuck it comes out in public theater
I like how everyone always brings up "Plushies take Manhattan" when it comes to FNAF's many rejected scripts, yet noone talks about the script where apparently a bunch of teens come across an animatronic facility that's being run by the US military.

It would’ve been good in a movie which actually had a plot line instead of random shit happening and then the finally got forced to happen

That scene and the build up to it ruined the entire movie for me
Mike should have just arrived at the end of the fort building. At least then mike is scared shitless and Abby/Vannesa are still in lalaland.
The big problem I had with the movie was that it felt like nothing had consequences. The aunt sends a gang to ransack the pizzeria and they don't come back, so why does literally nothing happen?

It’s because the aunt only existed to force the plot to move she was never a real character
The thing is, why did Aunt Jane even think Mike would get in trouble if her gang trashes the place WHILE he's not working?
@@egg7540 because if they found a way in that means he failed to lock the place up and keep it safe, which is what Vanessa explained to him
@@alecpheonix0761 But that's an incredibly stupid logic and makes no sense at all. If I lock all the doors of my house and someone breaks in and robs me, I'm not the criminal. It's even stupider when a police officer says this, a police officer THAT WAS RIGHT THERE WHEN HE LOCKED THE DOOR.
Tbh this is what I expected the movie to be like
A rather fun movie but with flaws just like any other movie
I didn’t expect some cinematic masterpiece that will make the theater stand up with teary eyes clapping. I think that it works well for both fans and just people who love campy horror movies like killer klowns from outer space or Freddy vs Jason.
My dad who knows absolutely nothing about FNaF other than it’s called “fab night at Freddy” and there’s a hippo Mr rogers and he liked it a lot. I see it as a pretty good family Halloween movie night kind of film and I think that works well with what it tried to accomplish.
I agree with what you say but "fab nights at Freddy's" can't be making me roll this hard 💀
Except the theater part did actually happen. Quite often in fact.
"Flaws like just any other movie" is severely downplaying it.
My brother in christ, it's a bad movie, but you would be correct if you called a funny movie
@@eugger3011coping fr, like anytime they realize the movie is not very good they move five steps back by coping about it in some way
This movie was a 10/10 simply because when it was over I heard an old man say to his daughter

Biggest tragedy is that they made William the idiot goofy guy he is in the books and not the calm calculated psychopath he is in the games.
iirc “I always come back” is a reference to the line “He will come back. He always does.” from the FNaF3 trailer. I do think something closer to that could’ve been cooler.
Also why does The Cupcake do more shit in this movie than Freddy
Did you forget fnaf 6?
To answer your question, idk. Pretty funny tho
@@HeroKnight14 I meant the use of the line "I always come back" as a whole was a reference to the line in the FNaF3 trailer. Even when he says it in FNaF6.
Also yeah this movie is funny as hell lol
I can’t believe he scrapped the Cassidy screenplay because it would be too confusing for non-fans
The Cassidy screenplay should have been used for a TV series
Bro scrapped the screenplay that would be too confusing for non-fans and decided to greenlight the script that was too confusing for non-fans 💀
cassideez nuts!!!!!!
The scene where Freddy Fazballs dicks down Ryan Gosling and says “call me Fred Figglehorn one more time” and Ryan Gosling says “It Freddin Time” and he takes Ryan Gosling down on some gangster shi, and 9 Months later, Ryan Gosling and Freddy Fazballs get their newborn baby
Peak fiction right there
Loved that scene where Springtrap chased the gang and slipped on a banana peel, 10/10 movie
In defense of critics, they kind of have to provide an objective overview of a movie, you cant really use your own opinions when rating a movie
Edit: I like men
EXACTLY!
SERIOUSLY. This is my biggest problem with people who hate critics, it’s because they have no sense of basic plot writing characterization and narrative along with acting cinematography etc. Like there are very basic standards and lines of reasoning, when it comes to critiquing these things. Critics are always first looking to see if those fundamental things are there before they get invoked in a spectacle. It’s why movies like Captain Marvel or Jumanji 2018 have say a 75% score on rotten tomatoes, both with a very different audience reactions: it’s because critics are looking for basic writing, foundations and fulfillment, even if it’s boring. Mario movie has like 55% rating because it’s plot is pretty stupid but it’s considerably fun, but definitely gives cash grab vibes all the time. The movie adaptation of Les Mis is an already Great story with OK to horrible performances. Last Jedi and frozen are. 91% I believe, because critics can’t based it off of what fans personally wanted out of it, they’re looking for a basic narrative and characterization and that’s when people really lose their minds because they don’t know the difference between heavily disliking the direction and what would make it bad(both have their problems, but nothing fundamentally detrimental).
I wouldn’t even be this anal about it if people did not try to make objective cases about why movies are good and bad using the same aspects of media criticism five nights at Freddy’s fans take the cake when it comes to being obnoxious. I didn’t even enjoy this movie as a fan at all The most fan service we got is the animatronics themselves and the fort building scene, along with some other animatronics in other games that are really just thrown the side.
The writing of this movie and it’s characters is a bit wonky but the acting is alright. It’s kinda funny how low the critic reviews are
@@absolutecreature7217 Just so you know: 29% on rotten tomatoes only means 29% of the critics gave it a positive review while 71% gave it a negative review. For all you know, it could just be 71% gave the movie a 50% score and the rest gave it 100%.
Edit: just checked, most of the low scores are 2/5 or 4/10 scores, literally the bare minimum to be a bad score.
Even though critics are likely paid to say half of the shit they say
“I always come back”
Bothered me too but
“What makes you think they won’t kill you?”
“Because I am one of them”
Is literally perfect for that omg
Chazington will never not get value from that dawko video of him voicing animatronics
tbh when I saw Toy chica watches the fnaf movie I thought we wasn’t even going to do an actual fnaf movie review but apparently not
"First I rizzed your brother, now I rizz YOU"
"Skibidi, my friend!"
-Oscar Worthy Scenes
"First I gyatt your brother"*
I really wish the story focused more on Mike and Afton over focusing on Abby or Garrett. It feels like afton barely got time to be villainous
As a long time fnaf fan who hasn't kept up since security breach, when I walked out I was unsure of how to feel, trying to tell myself I liked it, but I just didn't.
Same
I'm not a very big fan of fnaf, but last night me and a couple friends (who were all pretty big fans of it) watched the movie. And I honestly genuinely enjoyed it. So I mean, it's not ONLY enjoyable for fans.
Then again, I probably did enjoy the movie because I watched it with my friends and they all enjoyed it... So maybe you are right.
Don’t how it took 8 years for Scott to approve of this script. Its like he was cooking up this movie to be some sort of cinematic masterpiece only for it to just be mid or bad in the end. Like he could’ve focused on the simple story of Mike losing his mind each night at the pizzeria as the animatronics come close to him rather than just a butch of references and confrimations of the lore.
Scott cawthon isn’t a very good writter
@@waluigiisthebest2802 Noooo, the guy who made FNAF isn't a good writer? Shocking!
It's not terrible or mid but there were areas that it could improve upon.
@@waluigiisthebest2802 10,000 fnaf fans are outside your house now with pitchforks. It was nice knowing you
@@ediodimacaroni I am not afraid of a bunch of 6 year olds.
Besides, Waluigi is the superior Purple guy.
finally a genuine unbiased honest review from a fan that didnt watch with rose tinted glasses!
I watched this movie with my dad who had no idea about fnaf lore and it sure was one of the experiences of all time
For the entire film, I thought Mike Schmitt was played by Pedro Pasquale 😂
The more and more I watch your videos I realize I’m too old to order off the kid’s menu
Fnaf is not a kids game
@@1roxyfan491 TOO OLD TO ORDER OFF THE FNAF MENU
TOO OLD?!?!?
@@donpollo3154 too young to play a horror game
This got to be the most randomest comment I've ever seen, but I think its funny so I'm giving it a like
If baldi guy isn’t in the second movie I’m rioting
Played by Howie Madel
I think they would’ve gotten much less backlash if they advertised the movie for what it was really meant to be: a campy thriller movie for people who enjoy the games or people who like campy horror
Fun fact the director of NIGHT FIVE has a Letterboxd account and gave the FNAF movie a 3/5
2:16 I literally could not stop thinking about this line leading up to the movie. I'm so happy someone else acknowledged it.
“It’s Scott Cawthon, his own kids don’t know when they were born” lmao
I know this is probably more of a problem with FNAF in general, but I dislike how William Afton, a child murderer, is treated as if he’s some generic super villain, even to the point where “I always come back” has become his signature catchphrase. I blame FNAF SL and FFPS for how he’s received as a character, but even with the mad scientist stuff, those games still try to paint him in a serious light.
Here it just doesn’t work for me. Instead of showing Afton as intelligent, but still cowardly towards death (as he was in FNAF 3’s final minigame), he’s shown embracing his death with pride. His death and the utterance of his catchphrase doesn’t really make sense, because Afton wouldn’t have known if he would come back.
The movie also gives no good motive for why Afton kills. We aren’t shown that Afton is mentally unstable or anything, just that he’s arrogant.
Afton also doesn’t play much of a big role. Even though he’s the whole reason for a majority of events in the movie, he’s never shown but two times. And this isn’t in a way where there’s this big payoff where we see that he’s the one pulling the strings, but more like him just randomly showing up so the plot can continue.
In short, I feel as if FNAF has lost the point of the kind of character Afton is meant to be. Intelligent, yet delusional and scared of the consequences that his actions may bring. I think Matthew Lillard was great, but I don’t like how Afton was written here.
Gotta disagree with you on some points
William would know or at least think he’d come back- he knows the spirits of his victims possess the animatronics-so he suspects he’ll be back if he dies inside the suit.
As for the lack of motive, this is something the original games also didn’t provide. We never knew what his motives were in the original games except for the implication that he found joy in killing. I don’t think the lack of motive is a huge flaw but it would’ve added to the film.
@@mr.repairman3508 yeah. I do think motive would be good for fleshing out William as a character. Even if the games didn’t give much of a motive, the movie could’ve improved on it.
As for the springlock failure, I still think Afton would not go out so willing to die. While both FNAF 3 and the FNAF movie showed William dying by his own creation, I think FNAF 3’s springlock failure is more satisfying in how it shows William’s death in a way which he is as powerless to the ones he once tormented. While the movie does that in a way, it feels like William won more than he had lost.
Crazy how William didn't take his mask off even for a picture with his own daughter
I’m glad someone else agrees that Matthew Lilard IS and always should be the voice of Shaggy
i like the fact that in the movie about scary animatronics the animatronics aren’t scary
matthew had to scream to do the shaggy voice so years of screaming probably made him sound like tigger
ThinkNoodles watched this and literally had a heart attack in the movie theater
I'm glad toy chica finally let you post this
As a huge fan, thank you for just giving an honest, fun review. This was great
The moment the infamous "Table Fort" scene happened is when I realized why this has low critic scores.
im pretty glad is made like a fazbillion amount of dollars at the box office
Can't wait for the elevated horror Skinamarink inspired FNAF 4 movie
Its a mid movie overall, but I still loved it and would definitely watch it again
The friend I went to the movie with had never played or known any FNAF games.
He was very, very lost the whole time.
they really should've tried using what fnaf 1 did and make a horror movie about that, kinda like how the first security guard died
I was devastated when Lillard didn’t walk out with a chainsaw flame thrower
When the pixels didn't align in the opening segment I wanted to burn my vanny plush.
While I am bummed about Fnaf + but at the same time i care about the creator (Phisnom), and he already left the fan community when Security Breach came out, but he was just forced to make Fnaf +. The way it got cancelled was pretty messy, but I’m glad Phill is doing better.
6:50 Honestly the fact that it looks a little poorly made is what freaked me out mkre when I saw it. It gave me similar vibes to the circus baby ice cream mini game where baby eats one of the children.
I loved when Freddie looked towards the audience and said its freddin time and Fred all over them truly a Fred moment
1:08 💀 no way he put the future man scene
This isn't related to the movie in the slightest, but holy shit I love your editing man. Absolute comedy gold
Even as a fan I thought the movie sucked for the majority, it was really good for the first 20 minutes, dogshit, and then good again for the last 15. I’m glad it was successful and the acting, set, and effects were super impressive, but I hope they take audience criticism in the sequel.
yea.
like, if it focused mainly on FNAF 1, or maybe FNAF 2 (since it's a prequel to FNAF 1) and FNAF 2 only, it'd probably be better.
plus, if they didn't have random characters from different FNAF games.
also hide some secrets inside the movie, leading to an ARG of some kind
yea I agree I do think the fans are just blindly eating it up despite the major issues
@@sandunderman9865maybe some people have different opinions??
for me just felt like they did everything to keep the current rating even though you could see many of the kills in the movie would have been better if we actually could see them as almost all of them are cut out to keep the rating down to what it is what I think annoys me the most is the ending scene of the movie, there is barely any blood from afton getting springlocked where you can tell is also reduced to not get the R rating I'm guessing and the movie confirms to me that the movie could be more scary in the film when someone gets legit cut in half so I feel disappointed more then anything that the movie has the potential to have brutal, gore scares but reels it back for the pg-13 rating that really makes the movie to me, and I'm guessing others disappointed as well the movie is in a decent state on release but had so much more potential the film director more or less stripped away by going for the pg-13 only route.
@@sandunderman9865maybe some people actually enjoyed it. Not everyone is going to think like you. I know it’s hard to take in. But everyone’s different
Accept it
If this was the good script. Than I don’t want to see the dumpster fire of the other ones.

This video had me in tears. Love the edits. Another banger Chazington video lmao😂
Turns out alot of scenes were cut gor time, hopefully theyll make a directors cut thats 2 hours long
The Fnaf movie is the ultimate culmination of what the Super Mario Bros movie is. A movie that's made to please fans but not much anyone else, resulting in the fans loving it but critics and general audiences not so much. Now fans are once again trying to gaslight the internet into thinking that alone makes it a good movie and that critics are stupid for disagreeing.
This statement goes hard 🔥 can I screenshot?
That's the whole point though. Screw the critics, it wasn't made for them. Sometimes we need something for the fans.
@@marksunboxingzone only the fans thought 😒
@@marksunboxingzone but everyone else is clowning on you? do you not want your movie to be good??
The movie kinda deserve 50% but not 29%
the random cuts to dawko’s terrible voice acting video are the funniest thing this channel is rewiring my brain
Crazy how accurate dawkos afton impression was!
Tbh I’ve watched people see the movie that had no prior knowledge of FNAF, and a lot of them actually really enjoyed it.
i love your review videos because when you rag on something you don't take it that seriously . a lot of the people who criticize the movie treat it like it was the eighth sin or something but this was fun and it made me laugh 👍 good job gold star
10:08 The bite was not a springlock failure, since it was already in animatronic mode performing. It was just a skill issue.
I've never seen your channel before, but this was hilarious. I loved the movie
Honestly i think it was the opposite, it felt more for general audiences/kids than hardcore fans. Also considering how huge fnaf is its not like making the movie exclusively for fans is a bad idea.
I really prefer the cryptic and dark storytelling of the original series. It allowed you to piece together a story each new game. Eventually all the pieces came into place with FNAF 6, Pizzeria Simulator and the story was perfect.
I guess my point is that the Five Nights at Freddy's movie had a lot of missed potential. It could have been more welcoming to newcomers, just telling the story of the games. I guess the movie just ain't a great follow up to the games, at least how I see it.
The phone Dawko pulls out at the end is a LandLine phone, In the UK when you buy internet it often comes with LandLine connection.
Now we desperately need a Chazington-certified review of "Night Five"
I’m both a fan of fnaf and a movie fan, I think the first half was bad and the pacing was even worse, but I really liked the second half. 5/10, equally good and bad, perfectly balanced as all things should be
6:41 also spring traps design is literally a corpse stuck inside a suit
Honestly the fnaf movie was one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched in my opinion but it was so bad I couldn’t help but enjoy myself the whole time and it happens to be one of my favorite theater experiences now so i still love it :)
I gotta say I love hearing a song by That Handsome Devil almost every time a video ends
I think this would’ve worked better as a 7-8 episode streaming series, in which the A plot focuses on Mike working at Freddy’s and being attacked by the Animatronics and the B plot could’ve followed him or another character unraveling the restaurant’s history and what happened to the missing children. It could even give William Afton more screen time as his Steve Raglan persona as Mike goes to him to learn a bit more about the restaurant.
The Vanessa-William connection also could’ve been changed to just change her to someone who witnessed William murder one of the children as a child herself and was forced to become a follower to him to avoid being killed by him.
In the end, isn't a videogame movie's job to firstly appeal to the fans of the game?
This movie is kinda like the "Anti Resident Evil Movie", because that shitshow of a series didn't appeal to the prior fanbase (and also sucked in general).
Chazington you never cease to literally make the funniest shit for no reason. Thank you lmfao
Toy Bonnie and El Chip should have defiantly made out in the movie.
12:24 I would put that phrase like in the last scene with him in the Springbonnie suit, saying "I will come back, I'll always come back!"
Instead of just "oh, he said it he said the thing!"
I just watched your videos can you stop creating more masterpieces like this faster than EDP going through kid's DMs?
Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THAT AFTON'S CATCHPHRASE SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS ORIGINALLY FROM CHUCKY, I'VE NOTICED THAT SINCE I RESTARTED MY CHUCKY ARC.
As a fan. I thought this movie was okay. Could’ve been way better though I feel. Also yeah I wanted it to be rated R to see more blood in a scene we never got which would be Afton luring the kids in the back room and going all fruit ninja. That’s just my take tho. 7:57 I also would argue that demolishes any threat or surprise later bc they already were a lil evil as we saw in the beginning. I would’ve been satisfied if though if the kids got more character development and screen time period. Whole time I just didn’t care because they all apart from G. Freddy’s spirit got like 5 seconds of screen time with no dialogue on their past. Afton also got lien THREE SECONDS AND HE WAS SO GOOD WHEN HE WAS ANGRY. But like u said even with the iffy script.
I went to go see it with my family. Obviously my opinion on the movie is biased but when i asked them what they thought they all enjoyed the movie. I thought the movie was great as a fan but so did they as non-fans. I dont think the movie deserves this much slack. I would not call this a bad movie. It has flaws but so does every movie ever and this one set out on a specific mission and *I* think it delivered.
It’s not a bad movie, but I woudln’t say that good either, it’s okay, they could have done better, can’t say how but I feel like it was rushed or something…idk
@@bruhmomentum8302 it wasn't rushed but it was heavily cut. Tons of scenes are missing.
i'm just glad coryxkenshin got a role as someone who has been watching him for like 8 years lol
They should’ve just played the Fnaf musical instead
The sequel needs to focus on people who don’t know about the franchise and the fans as well
I’ve been a fan for a long time so this movie was….. great for me.
But also the effects i think. Those really make it better. The animatronics are so well made. And that’s the only other thing i care about. Practical effects. They’re so fun to see. Also the kid actors did a good job. And that’s the extent of my care beyond general enjoyment of fanservice content.
