what did you think of the FNAF Movie if you've seen it 🤔
First
it's ok
eh
Ye
Ap
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.
Yes we know you hate cgi
@@assassin8636 he never said that he just said that he finds it cool they made the effort of actually making the animatronics
@@loafies7722 i can see the comment too, you can't just lie. he never said anything about finding it cool that they went through the effort of actually making the animatronics, he said he appreciated they didn't use cgi
They used the Jim Henson company. So they got people who know what they are doing for both the animatronics and the puppets.
@@assassin8636yes we know you like starting arguments for no reason baiter
I loved when MatPat said “That’s Just A Theory” and Theorized all over the place
My theater lost it when they saw Matt 😂
@overhauledunderpaid6469But he literally said "That's just a theory" in the movie though.
The best part is, they named him Ness because of his Sans is Ness theory
You joke, but-
That’s funny because it’s true.
Personally, ignoring story for a sec, I still think it is ridiculously impressive that almost everything in this movie is practical and they didn't cheap out with cgi (to my knowledge)
I believe there was for the Max bite of 2000 scene.
@@GeekZone210why did you say “of 2000?”
It's actually quite the opposite
cheap it with no CGI the puppets are far less pricy so. No your point is wrong

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.
FNAF is often seen as an introduction to horror for young folks, and getting used to the idea that movies you like will have shitty RT scores is a big part of that.
I watched this last night in theatres and
This movie was completely fire, I did not waste my money at all. The story was solid and I loved Mike and Abby’s relationship dynamic. I don’t understand the hate with the pillow fort considering it was stated multiple times they are kids, and were/are easily manipulated, especially by drawings.
The only thing that was bad was the whole Vanessa being William’s daughter, and not being alot of Gore. But other than that the movie is a solid 9/10, plus it had many horror aspects, like Balloon Boy statue, the kids crying sound effects which honestly gave me chills. The animatronics catching bodies, the dream sequences, and the paranormal activity. I noticed alot of easter eggs too, the Chicas rainbow at the start of the movie, the its me written on the walls when the first paranormal activity started happening etc.
Bonnie and Chica looking at the cams after sending the Cupcake in the vents was pretty funny too lmfao, and i got the Freddy Fazbears pizza box (the Movie Theater pizza was garbage though) I put my ticket in there, for memory purposes. Something to never forget.
I loved going to the theater and seeing it because the crowd reactions were pretty good and weird at the same time…like 2 people called Bonnie their boyfriend lmao, was calling william “daddy”. Everyone got scared at the Balloon Boy statue thing, multiple reactions to the animatronics moving and interacting, everyone screamed and clapped when Cory appeared too.
When i was carrying the Fnaf box home it meant alot to me, idk if it was just me but it felt like i was carrying all of my childhood with me, it was a nice feeling. Can’t wait for Fnaf 2 and Fnaf 3.
As a viewer that hasn't really gotten into the FNAF stuff, I REALLY enjoyed it. I watched it with my friend that is into FNAF and he helped me connect the dots in the story. Personally, I enjoy movies with great storytelling. I think the movie lived up to the hype. One flaw in this movie is where you can't really tell if the movie is a comedy or a horror film. Sure there were a few flaws here and there but as someone who isn't really into FNAF, I think the movie was good.
I feel the same way. This movie is great for people who never played FNAF but have always been curious.
I was worried that this movie would try to be scary, but fail at it based on trailers. However, while I didn't think the movie was very scary, it didn't feel like it was trying to be, or at least that wasn't the main focus. The focus was on the characters and building intrigue for this world and its story, although it did leave quite a bit unexplained. But im personally glad it gives me something to look forward to in the future.
In a post-Joker world, it is painfully obvious that if an IP, premise, or marketing is strong enough, rated-R movies can destroy it at the box office. If this movie was rated-R, at the very least there would probably be some cool kills with blood and gore, or maybe something coming close to being scary. But no, we have to play it safe because that’s what FNAF has basically become.
I overall loved the movie all the way through, I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a movie, but there are parts that I feel could’ve been done better or would like to see done with I guess a little more lore based, but for what we got I feel like it was very entertaining and brought justice to the series so far and would love to what else they’d bring in a sequel. I liked the attention to detail they had with the design and look of the place and even seeing animatronics from the books was also a cool detail :)
Abby didn't just pull out "oh yeah they're ghost children" out of nowhere, it was told to her in the dreams just like how Mike has those too
I hope LS Mark makes a cameo in the next movie and has a line where he complains about something.
Movie is a letdown. 99% of the “jumpscares” are Balloon Boy. PG-13 rating holds it back from being scary at all. Plot is silly. Like realistically it could’ve been resolved if Vanessa spoke up at the beginning. When she conveniently finally does decide to speak up it feels like lazy writing. Only part I enjoyed was the cameos.
I did think the movie was bad, but fun for me tho. But lots of things drag or do not really make sense. The balloon boy jumpscares was really funny to me for some reason
The "scary killer robots" being friendly felt really stupid to me, like something like that removes all horror from them instantly
It also felt very tame like its ment to be an horror but an kid friendly movie at the same time, which makes no sense because it got 16+ slapped on it anyway (in my country at least)
Fnaf “fans” when the animatronics possessed by kids act like kids: 😱
This was the single messiest, most confused movie I have ever seen. Each act carries a different, clashing tone, and it is impossible to take the animatronics seriously after the pillow fort scene.
That being said, I fucking love this movie.
I had similar problems with the movie, but overall I enjoyed it immensely. I feel left out that nobody in my theater clapped when Matpat was on screen, but I'm glad I got to go see it
In my cinema the people in front of me just kept gasping whenever something in the games happened in the movie, i really felt them because i was
It was super fun and honestly exactly what i wanted from this movie. There were a few moments where i definitely felt like they cut a scene they shouldn't have cut, but i had so much fun. I cant wait for the sequels.
I've felt emotions, positive emotions while I was watching the film. The theatre was full of FNaF fans like me and while quiet for the most part, they were cheering and gasping at the twists and certain scenes. Especially during the SpringBonnie scene which had like the most reactions from the audience. When William said "I always come back", the entire crowd was like this ua-cam.com/video/8Am_Ljw1SmU/v-deo.htmlsi=ORSKJ2CX78Mw-GfJ. While not the perfection everyone expected, I was very happy with the film and came back home happy and satisfied.
First mistake it was made by Blumhouse
While the story is confusing. The movie literally have many easter eggs regarding to the game. Like the dream theory, old spring lock suits. And more.
For me this movie was jut a bunch of fanservice with a 0% of horror content.... and i loved it.
As the only one who kinda kept up with the FNAF lore (very casually), just seeing certain references had me quite excited
40 MILLION in one day and a sequel!
Paued at 0:01 because considering that ive watched this movie 4 times in a span of 3 days is amazing, it shows how much I love this movie
As a fnaf fan it was a good movie definitely needed some improvements however from Scott’s record for each game as they get better at the parts the last failed in I hope it somehow translates into the next two films as well because honestly that would be dope
Personally, I was quite disappointed with the film, but I was nervous about telling my honest opinion to others. I saw that all of my friends who were fans of FNAF came out with smiles on their faces, and overall, fandom culture has been nasty when it comes to critical response. Keep in mind, I HAVE played the games, and while all the cute references and ties with the source materials were cool to see, is that all we’re looking for with these game to movie adaptations? Does source material accuracy fully dictate the movies quality? If I am now worrying about spreading my genuine opinion because of a rabid legion of fans attacking me for having a differing experience, then this is probably a sign that we’re going too far in a few places.
Imagine if in this movie universe the "robot mike theory" becomes canon 💀, if that happens i prefer its reveal in the end of a sequel and he starts adressing it in a third movie, in the books i feel it was done too late in the end
I did my best to take the film seriously. Once the animatronics started moving, I knew it was gonna be hard, but once they built a fort, I lost my shit laughing. Just about everyone in the theater did, and from that point forward I made no further attempt to keep a straight face. It was laughter and mockery the whole way from me, my friend, the people around us and pretty much everyone else. I left the theater with a new core memory, and I will always love the film for this experience. It may be an unbiasedly bad film, but it was such a good time and I loved every second of it.
I watched this movie twice. First time in streaming and second in cinema. I feel like in the second viewing it felt like a slog to get through
I think what I was the focus on the supernatural elements over just the kind of nonsense sci fi stuff of the later games, where the ghosts actually have a role in things and are in some ways more important than the goofiness of the animatronics where in the games after a certain point, they don't really bother even addressing the spirit aspect in favor of just more whacky evil technology which I feel like actually reduces the weight of the events, so it was nice to see them used more here.
It definitely was more of a crowd-pleaser than a critic-pleaser, though I thought the movie was only... fine. It's just fine.
Even as a former fan, I'd say this will be enough to please any fan.
The Matpat appearance was better than Cory and I always come back.
I feel like I l have 1,000 complaints about the movie and still want to see it again and again. It’s not good, just fun
Honestly about what you said in the start people should form their own opinions than going to reviews to form their opinions. Its about their own experience than someone else’s.
Not sure i love the changes they made. i think there was an interesting enough story with Mike being Michael Afton working at freddys under an alias to investigate his dad that they didnt have to include vanessa and make her Williams kid. Her character isnt supposed to be around for decades and wouldve been better off in a sequel imo. All of that being said tho it was definitely the most fun ive had at the movies in awhile
Im not gonna lie when I saw the Movie I was Laughing at it a lot and in the end said to myself ''Its cheesy''
(Kinda weird I technically Waited 8 Years just to say that)
Just saw it, movie was okay but the audience in my theatre was talking and screaming the entire time and it ruined the experience
the way vanessa keeps information from mike that she could easily just tell him and prevent half the movie by doing so rivals the story of resident evil village
She didn’t know him that well yet, she thought he was just another guy her father would kill. Maybe not the best explanation but it’s there I guess
even then, it's not that draining to just say "hey my dad killed some kids and now they possess the animatronics lol xd"
I personally really enjoyed the movie the plot is ok and the end feels rushed and spring traps entry is odd. However, I really love Mike and his relationship with his little sister that alone makes the movie for me.
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.
As someone who's been a Fnaf fan since SL came out, I genuinely think had fun & Im exited for what's to come next; this isn't the jaw-dropping, super spoopy masterpiece me & many of the fans overly hyping it up (fr or jokingly), but I still think that this is a good begining for the likely future movie franchise of sorts! It's like Sonic 1, as it pleases the Fnaf fan in me, but it can definitely be tweaked & built upon to be better! Hopefully the next movie(s) will be better & improve on the 1st!
I’d far rather have a movie adaptation that fans love and normies don’t than one that nobody does.
@@JamesP7 Agreed
@@JamesP7Way better than the video game adaptations of the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s; where both critics and fans didn't like it.
@@HeyJinx idk they seemed pretty unfair on rating it, saying it sucked as a horror movie when original fnaf wasnt exactly groundbreaking after a couple or so games itself and the lore is more the point than the horror, and also it wasnt made by some big horror movie creator with years of experience in the horror movie field it was directed by a single random guy who liked to make jumpscare games
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'm surprised the film actually brought up about women and family courts. Not something I thought I'd hear in current movies.
Fr, the only dumb thing he does is sleep on the job numerous times, but the film does a good job explaining why he'd end up in dangerous situations that isn't just because he's dumb, his character motivations actually drive the plot which is kinda rare to see tbh. I honestly think the screenwriters did a great job building the plot around the characters rather than the characters around the plot . My only gripe really is that William Afton should have been set up as the main antagonist as he just showed up out of nowhere.
I agree.
Mike was easily the best character
@@cassielcruzchavolla809I mean he appeared early to send Mike to die.
Honestly, if this movie had Brian Griffin, it would automatically be a 10/10 and you know that Mark.
Can’t believe they didn’t invite me

@@UltimateNut Hey, Brian the dog, remember the time-

Well obviously
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.

He simultaneously whipped and nae-naed his way into production
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 UA-cam in 2015. Even without all the obscure references, it'd still feel like a love letter by vibes alone.
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’d agree!!
Taxi man, our beloved
I’d agree they even got the fnaf song from UA-cam
Really? I’d say it wasn’t worth the wait.. should’ve stayed unreleased. Felt like we spent more time outside the pizzeria than inside. The animatronics weren’t even scary or mean. They were literally super friendly throughout the whole movie. The beginning scene is the most action besides when those people break in the building. 3.2/10
@@realruntz2608Well in FNAF the animatronics are literally just dead confused children. Like the movie wasn’t really about the jump scares it was more about personal drama which full length movies typically have to be about. A story. A lot of people don’t want JUMPSCARE the movie they like FNAF for the lore. I used to find Fnaf as a young kid very scary but I don’t anymore and really just liked solving lore puzzles.
They were friendly because they liked Abby and it’s explained in the movie. They’re just kids themselves really. The base Fnaf animatronics have never been shown to be overly mean or cruel to anyone who isn’t William Afton or Mike Schmidt in the games they work with kids and despite being possessed they love children because they are children. They don’t remember what happened with William or who killed them until the end of the movie.
And the ghost kids or the animatronics are really mean to Mike. They attack him multiple times and try to stuff him.
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”
I especially liked how they used that to be the main plot
Sparky's Diner :3
And I also like the reference of the annoying rainbow character, remember her?, man she's the worst.
In a way this is like the reverse of what arcane did to the original story, but man I have one big stupid smile everytime I saw all the fan service that appear
@@poonpoon1604
Seeing Cory, MatPat, and Dawko was just wow.
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 thought that was the case for the writing, I was going to look it up afterwards but i just didn’t. I hope the second movie has the the FNAF 2 location
I hope it would be the fnaf 3 location and it switches back to fnaf 2 location as William goes down memory lane in spring trap
i mean i love Scott but we can all agree he's is not a good writer or atleast a story teller the entire story was made up along the way
Still it was really great a solid 7.5/10 for how good the movie is proffesionally and for entertainment value and my view of it as a fan an easy 9.5/10
Yeah I totally agree with this comment I absolutely loved the movie 8/10 for me. But in the sequel I want it to be alot better horror and story telling wise because I don't know it felt like they were holding back on this movie in some way.
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
The flashback / dream sequences were , modern day in this film was Feb 2000
Even campy 80s horror flicks had more gore and violence then this. I understand why they didn't though.

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.
Yeah thankfully the classics are probably the easiest of the designs to translate and look grounded in a movie
Imagine if they attempted the nightmares or funtines
@@jmurray1110 True. I would be interested in seeing if they could pull off Mangle or Ennard.
I stopped caring about the lore after sister location
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
We know we suck, that makes us good!!
I don't know if it was intentional. It's like The Room.
@@_V.Va_it was intentional. The balloon boy jumpscares, the goofy slow head turns, all of that definitely felt like Scott cracking a joke.
@@akdreamer6497 Guess Scott already knows his audience, but also wasn't confident he could help make a serious film.
@@_V.Va_ I think this is what he wanted. The film felt serious where it needed to be. I think the film would've been a lot worse if it took itself too seriously.
Just finished it. I thought it was pretty good with a decent basis on the lore. Besides me thinking it could have done with a little less humor and more horror, I personally thought it found an okay middle ground with casual viewers and fans. I mainly found myself very torn on how much I wanted to see the animatronics in general, but also not wanting the magic to be gone from over exposure.
My take on the lore is that they basically did as some type of alternate universe but tried to make the lore from the feel cohesive and not at all like a mess the games have it in. And it honestly works. It's kinda funny how despite Vanessa's presence in the movie i actually prefer her here in the movie than i do the games.
@@e1iteyoshi998 right?? she was kind of goat in the movie lmaoo

I liked the cinema expierence of this movie because the whole audience was just giving commentary the whole time, laughing, gasping and just generally clowning on the movie. As for the movie itself it was fine, I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if I was watching it alone at home, but the crowd energy of the fans was just so funny.

@@neasulavuori4955The Netherlands I guess, but honestly this is the first time I have been in such a loud theather but I think it was expected and no one seemed to mind. Also you have to like text a number and tell them people are being loud for them to get removed, there are no employees in the theater during the show to oversee it or anything

@@brockmaardanstoned6830Yeah it was so weird being in such a loud theater especially here in the Netherlands. Normally we're all really quiet and pretty boring. But for the first time everyone was cheering and clapping during the whole movie. It was such an amazing experience tbh!
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
As well as Vanessa to some extent.
Apparently the movie is not meant to follow the original lore and it's almost like an alternate timeline, with that knowledge I like it even more than I already did. They changed things up and made it work.
They shouldn’t brought vanessa into this movie and instead bring a old security guard in that retired early. They somehow managed to mess up the lore. Vanessa was never even mangend in the old fnaf, somehow she spawned as the daughter of wiliam
@@DEEZNuts-dh2neexactly
@@DEEZNuts-dh2ne the vanessa in the movie is a seperate charecter from SB vanessa
im just guessing her entire charecter was a refrence
The plot and ending in my opinion felt too rushed, it’s like the spirits of the dead children who are within the animatronics are trying to earn Abby’s trust in order to stuff her into an animatronic suit so that she can be with them forever, and then Vanessa is like oh yeah by the way my dad who dresses in a yellow rabbit suit is coming to kill you, and William just randomly shows up out of nowhere and tries to kill them all.
Tell me about it. How did a normal guy manipulate spirits and his daughter can inject herself in dreams? Not even the opening monologue about dream connections helped explained Vanessa's way of injecting herself.
Eh. I liked it. Especially because you got to see how he died.
It has a lot of plot holes.
Vanessa knows the animatronics are dangerous but when Mike asks if they’re dangerous she just lets Abby do what she wants.
We know Max is her brother but how did he die? Is it a similar situation to Circus Baby and Elizabeth? Is Vanessa supposed to be this universes Michael Afton? The whole movie I thought she was going to be revealed as Elizabeth Afton.
Is Max the crying child in this story if William didn’t kill him? He’s very vindictive just like golden Freddy. If there’s no Charlie in this universe or no spring lock failure to kill William back when the original murders happened how did the kids possess the suits? Charlie put their souls in there but before that it was just bodies. The ghosts chased William causing the spring lock failure and Charlie puts them in the suits? Is Max an equivalent to Charlie because he seemed much more aware than all the other kids but we didn’t see his reaction to remembering his dad either killed him or got him killed?
Why did William kill Max and not Vanessa? Was it an accident?
Why did William kill the kid’s in this universe? Was he still looking for ways to be immortal? I’m this universe it seems like he just liked killing kids.
What happened to Mike and Abby’s aunt after Freddy “put her to sleep”?
Why is Mike so caught up on Garrett? He doesn’t seem like he’s depressed or suicidal but his obsession with his brother to be having dreams about his abduction every night seems like it’d make you be very depressed and unstable? And that fountain incident shows that but after that it stops. Mike is self aware that he’s been dangerous but he’s only been prescribed sleeping pills? A doctor with such a violent outburst knowing why Mike did it would probably hospitalized him until he can work through his trauma.
Just very odd choices but I had a great time.
@@trialerrorsharer9398 Who is Max? I don't recall a Max in the movie.
@@thephoenixxm4160 Okay maybe I’m misremembering names and Max was the babysitter. I assumed Max was the name of Vanessa’s little brother,the fifth child. Unless I completely misunderstood and that’s not even her brother. I thought she said the little blonde boy who didn’t have an animatronic was her little brother and his name was Max.
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?"
Same, I liked the games when I was 15, been waiting for this movie since then, knew full well that the movie wasn't gonna be "good" but the movie was fun to watch, especially to see all the fanservice and little easter eggs in the background.
It's a movie for the fans ultimately.
My 8 year old enjoyed it. It's a "horror" film for him. ( even the directors said that they basically made it for the younger audience.) I've never played the games, or read the books... everything I know about FNAF is from youtubers either fans themselves or theory makers. To me this feels like a few small edits and it could be shown on basic Cable in the daytime around Oct. It's hocus Pocus. It's a "family friendly" "Scary" movie to let the young ones feel like they are watching something out of their age range. back in my day this would have been rated PG. (old person here, brave little toaster, watership down, who framed roger rabbit. anything don Blurth) I feel this movie and any sequels it gets will end up like .. Gremlins I guess. Not really scary, but people will have a spot for it.
Well, this film is rated a 15 in the UK which makes no sense.
Happy your kid liked it. :)
Tbh, they dealt with some pretty mature topics as well (other than the usual FnaF stuff) like Mike is basically a pill addict in this movie, and it's handled tastefully.
For a movie obviously meant for kids, I was surprised to see that.
Gonna watch this video later tonight, but here's my thoughts after seeing it less than an hour ago: as a movie, it was clunky and disjointed. As a fnaf experience? It was wonderful. I was smiling and laughing the whole way through, pointing at the screen almost every five minutes thinking "omg it's the thing!" I'd say go see it if you're a fnaf fan. Definitely worth it imo
How I felt. It's a fun movie, but it would be difficult to call it a gooood movie. It's a lot of fun, but like. "It's part of the fnaf franchise, so you're NOT ALLOWED to think it's bad!" that kind of mentality I feel like actually ends up harmful to really developing things you care about. I liked the movie a lot, but I just can't in my mind say it was a well made one, though very fun.
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.
Completely agree. That whole sequence where he lets Abby go was very compelling, it shows that while he still loves his sister, he can't get over what he used to have before the kidnapping. I'm surprised Mark didn't care to mention any of it.
another cool reference is that the Babysitter was stuffed in Shadow Freddy and Shadow Freddys face flickers on the cameras for a sec at one point. But I do think we're going down the route with Ella and Charlie in future movies but with Abby replacing Charlie. Also with the negatives, I feel if the movie wasn't so focused on making it specifically over Five nights, we would have seen more animatronic stuff. But considering the title itself has "Five Nights" it kinda limited them to having to spread all the most important shit to the final night.
Or rather this movie was rushed to meet the 10th anniversary date
Ngl, to me it barely felt like Mike was there for 5 nights
Oh cool! I didn't notice that! The way she died was super epic, though. It was like some Kill Bill stuff.
This movie kind of has me in two minds. On one hand, the visuals are phenomenal. Set design is awesome, the animatronics actually look and feel real (I love the Jim Henson Company’s practical work) and oddly enough, the costume design leant a lot to the ambiguous time frame the movie takes place in. Even the child actors did a great job.
But then you have the Cupcake mauling people, Freddy’s ridiculous angry eyebrows that made me laugh every time he was supposed to look menacing, and the whole audience CHEERING when Afton said the Line. Not to mention Afton fucking BODYING Mike. Like he can linebacker tackle a dude and be fine but Vanessa taps a springlock with a broom and they go off? Abby magically snapping the kids out of their stupor and turning them on Afton could have been cool but the way it was handled felt sort of rushed. Like the animatronics were ready to kill her and imprison her with them for all eternity but a doodle shows them that the child murderer is a child murderer?
Of the things people have mentioned, I’m bothered by the animatronics acting like kids the least. I think it’s kind of sweet. The scene with the fort reminds me of the surfing scene in Lilo and Stitch. Actually, a lot of the film reminds me of Lilo and Stitch.
I don’t think anybody thought this one was going to be a straight up horror, and I feel like what kills there were were fine, if obviously PG-13. It’s a solid 7/10
I don’t think the drawing scene at the end felt rushed. At the beginning of the movie the teacher tells Mike that drawings have a very powerful effect on children and at the middle Abby says to Mike that they love drawings. I feel like more could have been done but I wouldn’t say it was rushed either.
@@harley8939 I just mean that her replacing one drawing on the wall instantly causes Freddy and company to turn on the guy who kept them captive for 30 years. That's what felt rushed.
@@juno1752that’s pretty much what happened in The Fourth Closet.
Vanessa said they didnt remember who killed them ya??? i figured they reacted the way they did because abby reminded them using the drawing.
@@juno1752 I'd honestly advise you to re-read the novels/lh
I’m quite the movie critic, especially with how bad most modern movies have been lately. As a Fnaf fan who played the very first game in 6th grade when it came out, to now, I was hoping it would at least be a decent 5/10 movie for nostalgic purposes. But somehow, it was a fabulous 9/10. I’m still speechless on how good it was!
Not most morden movies are bad and you know that
What most modern movies have you been watching to give this one a 9/10 and say most are bad lol
Mike's character writing saved the film for me
I would call it a okay to good thriller but a great videogame adaptation and a open love letter to the fandom, i just love the movie way too much for me to think objectivly
My feelings exactly
I honestly hope they explore Vanessa and William’s relationship in the sequel. Like how Fnaf 2 (the game) was a prequel, Fnaf 2 (the movie) could go more in depth to the past of William and Vanessa and explain why they are the way they are. Then in the third movie, it can be about some final showdown between Springtrap and Mike.
IF we get a sequel. Nothing's been decided yet.
Mike, Michael, I am your father.
@@Tygermite well obviously it’s just speculation, but Matthew Lillard did say he signed a three picture deal so I was going off of that
@@inno8928also the end credits played the music box music from fnaf 2 at the very end
I'm hoping they'll use parts of the Vanessa/Vanny storyline from the games in the sequels since Vanessa is related to William in the movie.
Just saw it an hour ago with my sister. The people behind us would not shut the hell up. They were being rude. You can imagine how annoying they were when MatPat was on screen 😡
Did you know that being quiet in a threatening can improve the movie experience
*But hey, that’s just a theory*
har har har har har har harhar har har (it was me)
Yeah, that happened with me when I saw Across the Spiderverse.
1 of the reasons why I'm glad to have seen this at home on via Peacock app.
This was word for word my exact experience
As someone who doesn't normally care about FNAF otherwise and didn't follow any of the game lore leading up to it, I still thought it was a fun time. I even got a few good chuckles out of it. It wasn't entirely scary imo, but it doesn't really have to be. The story for the most part was easy to follow too. I'd say it's just as good if not better than the Mario movie, because unlike there where things mostly just simply happened you can tell they at least tried with this one. I give it an a 7 or 8 out of 10. My brother absolutely loved it though, and I can't say I blame him. Everyone who worked on it did a surprisingly pretty good job. It's not a movie I'd personally revisit all that often, but it was still more than decent for what it did. I hope Markiplier gets to make a cameo in the sequel lol. I have lots of respect towards Scott, which is rare to see for most new games, films, TV shows, etc. creators nowadays.
MatPat dropped his video talking about his cameo and experience. He mentioned that he saw paperwork casting Markiplier as the first night guard that got murdered. I guess something didn't work out :(
@@MephiticMiasmaIt's because his schedule was already full from having a bigger part for another horror game film adaptation, Iron Lung. He said he's willing to make room for the sequel though.
I think it was necessary that it had a little more terror or suspense, if your gonna sprinkle some gory death scenes it should be seen a little more or non at all
I hope Mark gets to be Phone Dude for a FNAF 3 adaptation
It's not really a good movie, but it was still really fun to watch for me as a FNAF fan. I totally get why critics that have nothing to do with the fandom dislike it, but it's a great love letter to those who grew up (or are still growing up) playing the games.
Yes! It’s a total shitpost but it’s for us so fuck yeah
Shut up
I definitely agree!
@@Sm0k3turt I don’t see how being a shitpost makes it better? As a fan, I would rather have a good story and actual horror for more than 3 scenes and do something different than the game, or at least far enough so that the average fan can be invested in more ways than “Hehe it funny bad”
@@whyiwakeup6460fr the movie was pretty tame for what it wanted to be. I saw two parents bringing their (7-9) year old son 💀 I get that the franchise has gotten very childish but the movie is rated 15 here in Greece. How the parents brought their child to a movie like this is anyone's guess. But yeah, I really enjoyed the film and I was very pleased with it's production, but I would've given it a higher score if it actually was, you know, scary? The movie's plot also was very inconsistent imo. The 'Afton' details came out of nowhere in the last 15 minutes and it all ended pretty fast.
I honestly dont know why toxic fans are defending this movie too much. Its not as good as Nic Cage's Willys Wonderland or even Angry birds 2.
Edit: I agree with you this movie has the same problem with the Venom movies: inconsistent tone, weird dialogue and Pg-13 holding all of them back from being just a bit violent.
Meanwhile, Raimi's Spiderman got away with Goblin being stabbed on screen
As someone who was 10 when the game first came out, I absolutely loved this movie. Sure it did drag at points and took a while to get to the good stuff. the sets were well done and it honestly felt like a movie from a different era in a good way. The kills were creative and i do love how they add little details and change the lore around slightly.
@@TheHutchIsOn I found the movie good. You don’t have to be a dick to him about it.
Honestly I liked it. They translated the game as well as they could into a movie. It was entertaining, had references for fans and overall served as a good movie. A lot of people complaining seemingly wanted an hour and a half of someone playing fnaf 1 while matpat talks about lore in the background. It was great, they did a good job with this movie.
They totally could have done a better job adapting it into a movie if Scott hadn't went with Blumhouse, who in my opinion are known for making the most consecutive mediocre horror movies I've ever seen. This movie could've been genuinely scary if handled properly but obviously the franchise has been watered down to the point that it only caters to children, which isn't incredibly surprising but a little sad to see.
@@thc_freebaserthis bro when I heard Blum house was involved I had low hopes and that’s why I wasn’t that disappointed when I saw it
@@thc_freebaser I mean we can all agree fnaf hasn't been an adult, R rated horror franchise for a long time, arguably since it even began, no matter how grim the subject matter is. The focus of the games has been the story and lore with horror as the sort of basis for the games themselves. I think the best way I can describe it is teen/children's horror as sort of oxymoronic as that possibly sounds, and I doubt that as horror fnaf would be scary to any adults. Like just go back to the first game and genuinely tell me you find it, apart from the subject matter, frightening, even though as children we all considered it very scary. So I think as an adaptation of that kind of "teen/children's horror" they did well and it was also a nice trip through being a child fnaf fan.
My point is that we are just a too old to enjoy fnaf as a horror franchise. There is a good reason why the story is the most popular and talked about aspect of all the games.
@@thc_freebaserI mean, it’s more of a thriller movie like Scream. It’s not supposed to be all scares.
@@thc_freebaser
To expand on arcatii4794's point, FNAF has always had a childish fandom. And most of FNAF's "horror" aspects are just jump scares with a lot of them being really silly. Like, was SpringTrap merely walking up to you in FNAF 3 really scary??? I don't think so, but I respect how you feel about the movie!
as a huge FNAF fan, I highly encourage other fans watch this in theaters ! if you don't like commentary and cheering over stuff, watch it on streaming. The theater experience made the movie significantly better
Yes yes it did, it felt so lively
Yes watching it in theaters was definitely the best choice for me, I just loved the crowd interaction 🥰
I feel like it also depends on where you are. I went to a late screening but there were still a lot of 9-15 year olds kind of being obnoxious 💀 like i enjoy a casual meme shout out hehe like any other but it was was too often and too loud for me 😩
My mom, my little brother and I watched on streaming, and still had a ball.
I can’t believe when markiplier walked on screen to warn us that “You’ll be staying for 5 nights at Freddy’s.”
Truly, the video game film of all time
Yall are robots bruh yall just come up with the funniest joke in 2 minutes speed timed it out and uploaded as soon as the video uploaded bruh no way your real bruh
that black guy with the lightning makes a good point
@@KaziKami we are real
@@TheBBCSlurpeeFr man, he does have a valid point
And the award for worst comment ever goes to
Yeah honestly I was very surprised at how tame it was for a horror movie. I'm usually a huge wuss when it comes to horror, but I had no scares when watching it. I did really enjoy it though, finally seeing a springlock failure in live-action was definitely the highlight for me
I wanted to try it because I'm usally a huge wuss with gore and blood. But I'm still unsure
Lol
@@kaitlando636 It's worth watching
@@kaitlando636go for it. All the gore us tame and it won't cause yoy to squeal or cringe (af least that how I felt)
There was only one really "gore-ey" moment i can recall and its pretty obvious its gonna happen. If it helps
*Spoiler on when to look away*
-
When the babysitter goes in and starts looking into freddie's mouth, I would look away if super sensitive.
not the scene where we see the corpse of the first guard?@@-lixiepixie-
as someone who knows a lot about the fnaf lore and story I LOVED this movie, seeing every thing in live action was incredible, also I loved the semi-Undertale reference
I didn't realize there was an Undertale reference! What was it?
@@finleyforevermore mat pats character was named ness (you can see it on his badge), which is obviously a reference to his sans in ness video
@@ChannelsName Ohhh!! I guess I didn't pay attention to his badge then 😅 thanks for telling me!
@@ChannelsName MATPAT IS NESS! My theater freaked out when we saw him!
I really liked it, every time I noticed a reference or meme relating to the games, I got real happy. Someone in the theater screamed “was that the bite of ‘87” during the movies one scene, and it was great, I respect this movie a lot for what it is. I was somewhat impressed by the puppetry costume, and set design. I was even invested in the plot, it was not scared in the least during it, but I don’t care. I liked this movie a lot
5:48 Vanessa does warn Mike about William coming after him, so it’s not like he comes out of nowhere
5:58 in the first scene with William, he hesitates to say mikes last name, so does Vanessa. They knew Garret so it’s safe to assume they knew Mike was his older brother. There’s also a chance Vanessa told William about Mike being garrets brother after he told her, which is why he knew about him and Garrett.
Still, it was a fun film, I liked the use of the dog animatronic (a pretty obscure reference to an old hoax) and I really enjoyed the theater experience. I loved Mat Pat and Cory’s cameo, and everyone in my theater cheered when William said that one line.
Still can’t believe that they used the bloody living tombstones fnaf 1 song for the goddamn credits. Legit gave me an aneurism when I heard it.
I like the part when Freddy said "it's Freddin time!" And Freddied all over the security guard
I didn’t wanna dickride, but i ended up loving it. It’s weird. I loved it for all the things that a FNAF fan WOULD love it for, yet I’m kind of bothered about it. That there was nothing that made it truly great on it’s own. I kind of hate the mindset of “for the fans.” It means that the movie is unlikely to be enjoyed by most non fans. Scott said he wanted it to be a good movie in it’s own right, even if you’ve never heard of FNAF. Emma and Jason Always said “for the fans.” It’s shows a clear difference. Not to say they didn’t care, they clearly cared a TON. It’s just kind of confusing i guess. Like, do they think fans won’t like a genuinely great film? Dunno. Whatever the case, low 20s on rotten tomatoes is still an insult to it. I’d say around 50-60 is far more fare. At least the animatronics were great (Oscar worthy imo) and this film has by FAR the best fan service of any video game movie and it’s not even close. Great actors and set too. But man was that table fort building montage such fucking whiplash.
What do you mean dickride?
THIS. I enjoyed it so much, it was just fun. Sure it wasn’t very scary but it was just so enjoyable
Me: "This movie is okay so far but LOOK IT'S ELLA, SPARKY AND SHADOW FREDDY, YOU KINDA MIGHT SEE THE PUPPET AT ONE POINT IN THE BACKGROUND?, ITS MATPAT HOLY CRAP, THE LIVING TOMBSTONE?!" That summed up my experience lmao
i loved the fort builing montage. Sure it wasn't gory an scay like all those vhs things, but I liked it. Exploring the dead kids part really works for me, these are kids... after all.
@@radium6962 I liked that seen too, especially how absolutely goofy Bonnie was.
I personally loved it, it has a few flaws, but I think the way they represent the games and even though the canon strayed from the games (kind of), the story seems well thought out and well written, I saw this with my parents (who only loosely know the lore) and they loved it. It wasn't what I was expecting (more action less horror), but some parts were suspenseful and actually scary. And even the parts that weren't scary, were still engaging and enjoyable. There were inconsistencies, but I'm willing to maintain suspension of disbelief and not stray from the point of the movie. I think this movie is an 8.5/10.
as a horror movie, to me it wasn't very scary, but as a character driven movie it's great. my 11 year old nephew and I enjoyed ourselves when we watched it. hope the sequel builds off of this one and adds more character and horror.
Been seeing the "make your own opinion" pop up way more with this film and while it's something to agree with I can't help to feel that we need to stop relearning this lesson
Like bloody hell we are taught the difference between fact and opinion in like 2nd grade
That’s so true. With this movie it’s either you like it or you don’t, as with most things. I just don’t like the condescending attitude from others towards people who do like the movie though.
Can we just all appreciate that Blumhouse gave us, for the first time in years, a coherent and consistent version of the FNAF storyline
this movie was not fucking consistent 💀
no because they didnt?
What, this isn’t the fnaf games storyline
It’s the fnaf movie lore, not game
@@strikebomber2944 on what?
It wasn't consistent, they threw in the dead kids at the end when there was no lead up to that reveal at all except for the intro pixel art thing that most casual movie goers didn't even pay attention to.
I have to admit Mario, Sonic, and FNAF movies are being carried by the fans with them being incredibly biased because they claim it’s “For the fans” which sounds stupid to me and sounds like they’ve been watching to much UA-cam videos instead of actual shows with actors, writing, and performance to know what makes a proper movie for ALL to enjoy (New, Old, and returning Fans)
To be fair unlike Mario and Sonic, we had to sit for 8 years wondering if FNAF was gonna get a movie at all
@@Dark-ql7knwell the Sonic movie was first announced in 2014 (by Sony because they had the movie rights at the time) and didn’t get released until 2020, while the Mario movie was first announced in 2018 and didn’t get released until 2023, so I’d say it’s a bit comparable
@@inno8928 Yeah but from what I saw it wasn't really mentioned all that much while with Fnaf it was fucking memed all the damn time
How do we get to this era of video game movies where we went from "Oh no, Hollywood is gonna ruined the franchise by making a terrible movie" to "How dare you don't like/say bad things about the movie?!"
Can you elaborate on this? I feel like I get what you’re saying with “The movie should be more than just ‘for the fans’.” but not enough. For example, what exactly qualifies as a good adaptation for all people?
Bro after the scene were freddy do "chop-chop" with the womans body, someone on my theater said "WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87?!" And i am from brazil and hearing *this line* made me laugh
I really think that the environment you're in while watching the movie makes a big impact on how you feel afterwards. For me, my theatre was filled to the brim. People were laughing, gasping, and even cracking jokes at times which really enhanced the overall experience. I left the theatre with a huge grin on my face and truly believe that the audience played a big role in making a memorable experience 😁😁
I was at home with my mom and little brother. We had a ball.
You're real on that. Most of my environment was fun. However, the person who came with me to watch the movie kind of ruined the vibe for me. So that left a bitter taste in my mouth.... Hopefully on the 2nd watch, I can enjoy it alot more.
We had the same experience with people laughing, clapping, etc, and tbh it worsened the experience. The crowd was so loud and so "omg no way!!!" like every five minutes... Even if you're really excited and loving the movie, theatre etiquette should still be followed.
@@TC_EHGL Very true. There's a point at which having over-the-top reactions just turns annoying, and unfortunately, some people can't really discern where it is too well.
@@pundertalefan4391 glad yall enjoyed it!
Seeing this opening night was such a blast, everyone in the audience was obviously a fan of the games. Hearing everyone lose it when certain scenes happened was hilarious and it was honestly surreal hearing something as simple as foxy singing or Bonnie hiding in the supply closet on the big screen. I've felt recently that I prefer not looking at films too critically as the most important factor is ultimately whether I enjoyed it and the memories it creates. Of course there's always a part of my brain that will try to objectively analyze media and make me wonder whether a film is actually good quality, as things can be objectively better or worse in aspects, and I believe it is important for media to be objectively criticised, but I'll leave that to the critics (Who are perfectly valid I'm their assessments of these recent video game films and opinions are valuable). I guess what I'm trying to say is that fnaf is dumb and this film is stupid, but I love fnaf and this film, and rightfully so.
I literally pumped my fist and said "YES!" when they had Foxy sing. I remember first learning about that Easter egg. It was wild.
The whole movie I was waiting for “Harharharhar”
They could've made the springlock failure scene a little bit longer and showed the locks snapping in his body and you'll see the locks going in through the cracks of the suit of the legs and explained why William killed and what is his goal. Hopefully the next movie it'll be better with more blood.
this is what i was thinking, it was incredibly tame and kinda disappointing in my opinion, wanted more gore but cant expect too much from a pg-13 horror movie
Yeah I feel like the pixel version you see in game was better 😭
My one problem with the movie is how it goes. As a slightly Fnaf fan myself, i thought the game would go over 5 nights. Each one is getting more difficult, and the suspense would make the terrifying moments worth it. You dont need gore for the first few nights, just really good coriaraphed suspense and jumpscares! Then the movie is perfect for me.
This movie is a thriller not a horror movie
Did no one pay attention to the jumpscares?
@@Oddfosshaugbagi what jumpscares? lol
Wow…I am so honored that Mark delayed the release of this video and changed the entire script just so that it wouldn’t match my bingo card 🥲 also fun fact: when seeing this movie yesterday, after the scene when the babysitter gets chomped in half by Freddy’s jaw, I audibly said “WAS THAT THE BITE OF ‘87!?” and I shit you not the entire theater erupted in laughter. I seriously love the FNAF fandom so much, man.
My favorite part of the movie was at the end of the climax, where William Afton is defeated, the animatronics close in on him, Mike and Abbie carry Vanessa out of the crumbling building, the screen cuts to black… and then a kid near the front of the theater bluntly says “That kinda sucked.”
The audience laughed because that one statement was how all of us felt in that moment.
I am genuinely not joking when I say that my entire audience started cheering when MatPat said "that's just a theory."
They also started cheering the moment William Afton's name was dropped.
My personal favorite scene was the beginning security guard fighting for his life. I do wish they focused more on those kind of moments rather than the dream theory and Vanessa plot line.
But still, at the end of the day the FNAF fan inside me enjoyed myself.
Personally I don't mind if a movie doesn't go out of its way to be understandable to general audiences, I think it's more important to appeal to the fans since their the ones who will enjoy the movie the most and talk about it for years.
But an adaptation kinda has a reason to start fresh and that's when it should probably be the easiest to get into for newcomers, plus lots of movies do a good job at both so it's by no means impossible.
thats why i sorta hate the movie
An adaptation that is solely designed for fans of the property that it's adapting is such a waste of potential though from a business perspective.
Why only cater your film to a comparatively small demographic of people who know of this single franchise, when you could instead write it in a way so that anyone of the genre associated with the property can enjoy it? Would that not have the added benefit of getting more people interested in the adapted series?
Movies and shows that require you to do homework by playing, watching, or reading 10+ hours of a DIFFERENT piece of media is just inherently going to be a turn off to a lot of people. It's what making a lot of people less interested in the MCU and Star Wars shows.... if you want to watch Asoka, you need to watch Rebels first. In order to watch Boba Fett, you need to watch Mandalorian- but of wait if you want to understand the latest season of that, you need to watch Boba Fett. I sure hope you like all of these different series', as well as have time to watch them all, because otherwise you'll be left in the dark because the show itself won't bother to explain why that one character is suddenly alive unless you watched a completely different series.
@@sir.hopper fnaf is nto a small demographic it has taken the entire internet by storm literally everyone knows who freddy fazbear is to some extent
@@thegodzillafandomsrookie5514 Let's go over that sentence again, with some added emphases to a specific word:
"Why only cater your film to a COMPARATIVELY small demographic of people who know of this single franchise, when you could instead write it in a way so that anyone of the genre associated with the property can enjoy it?"
I never said, nor implied, that FNAF was part of a small demographic.
FNaF was mid as fuck. Half the film is unnecessary because it hardly relates to FNaF. There was like 1 good kill. The rest were bland and boring. The springlock scene was mind-blowing because he got fucking tazed and that didn't trigger them but a bite from the cupcake? Felt silly. And didn't do the scene justice.
This movie is just Shaggy using 0.00002% of his true power.
