I have seen the movie, and its bloody good. Its not perfect, it does sometimes feel like it cant do the things people want mainly because of the age rating. Some may find moments where it may go a little slower, but its not irrelevant. The cinematography is on point, and the details and easter eggs are incredible, its one of these films where it feels it will benefit from sequels which will add more to these films. It is definitely for the fans, and you will enjoy it, but if you go in with expectations of major gore like other horror films or every major plot point from the games, you will likely be dissappointed. Like the games, the horror comes from the tensions and the thought of what happens. 8/10 from me

This makes me much more excited. You even saying that implied horror is there makes me happier, since it's really what the games did. As a Freddy's fan, this sounds like I'll like a lot.

Saw it today and It was surprisingly decent for the budget it had.

My god, stop talking about critics as if they were this kind of evil cult dedicated to boycott fanbases 😭 They didn't like it, that's fine, go see it, form your own opinion and if you like it that's great! Doesn't mean they're a cult trying to sabotage the film with their wrong opinions because they hate fun! An opinion cannot possibly be wrong and seems no one here knows what that means so I'm just gonna use one of the examples I saw in one of the comments below: "I like this movie, it's great", and they're talking about a bad film. "I like this movie" -> Personal opinion from that individual's perspective, which cannot be considered as either right or wrong, because the truth is, he likes it and no one will make him believe otherwise. "it's great!" -> A statement implying that a bad movie is great, now that can be wrong, because putting their personal opinions aside, the film is bad from a filmmaking perspective. So in the end, the statement is wrong. You see the difference here? An opinion is personal, no one has a "wrong" opinion, until you get to the facts or criticism, that's where it stops being an opinion and it can be wrong. Other examples: "I don't like Across the Spider-Verse, it's a bad movie because it's woke garbage!" "I don't like Across the Spider-Verse" -> Their personal opinion, it's not wrong and I can't do anything about it. "it's a bad movie because it's woke garbage!" -> This is not an opinion and therefore it can be wrong, and everyone knows that's insanely wrong.

I’m in the uk so I just watched it, and iv got to tell you… it’s incredible, the cameos to certain scenes are so good. You can tell people who care about the Francois made this film and it’s just so good!

Underrated comment 💀

[@kimackerman2183]

Obviously it's not gonna be an amazing or best movie of the year. But us fans who've waited this for 8 years will absolutely love with whatever happens in the film.

[@hectorplay8199]

I feel that when it comes to videogame movies like this, Sonic 2 and the Mario movie, it's better to jusy trust audience/fans reviews rather than critics.

[@blueturret5596]

I’ve fully come to terms with the fact that critics don’t really know what tf they’re talking about anymore. I’ll wait and see what audiences think before I draw any conclusions.

[@ashuraomega1000]

They don't know what they're talking about because they have a different opinion?

[@Cubeytheawesome]

The fact cuties has a score over 70% says enough for me to say critics aren’t to be trusted.

This is why I don't read reviews before watching it for myself

[@ThatOneDollup]

While sipping my tea I felt the five nights at Fredrick Fazbears pizzeria motion picture was very good to a British chap like me

[@ChiTownMade]

I think if they made it rated r and put murders in it with jump scares more people would have liked it. That's the problem with a few movies. Venom, venom 2 and morbuis. Those being in the pg13 restrictions kept them from being better than they should have.

[@Josue_S_6411]

Being R-rated would make the movie worse.

[@SharkieHusky]

some negative reviews from fans may come from expecting the movie to have lots of blood and gore despite the franchise itself being aimed at teens and not explicitly showing that much so all I'll say is we should have expected a pg13 rating

[@TrollLol-sg3so]

I’m in UK and just saw it. I hate to say it but I agree with the reviews. It lacks a lot of action and feels almost cringy comical at points. The cameras kept cutting away when the animatronics “attacked” which was really annoying. The most exciting bits they cut to the next scene 😢

[@Danny_moviefan]

Even with the bad reviews I’m still gonna love this movie 😀

[@monkigunfromhalo6653]

Yeah you keep telling yourself that buddy, wouldn't want to have an option that strays too far from the chaff.

[@Kihambo]

I never expected this movie to have amazing reviews, but I think it's more catered towards fans more than anyone else. So I'm excited to see what it has to offer.

[@PeytonPoole-k9u]

God the people on Reddit are coping hard this movie was cheesier then the scream movie they did the franchise incredibly dirty and took away the horror aspect completely the robots where literally building a pillow fort after hours 💀

[@Hirowastaken]

I am a fnaf fan. There are moments in this movie where I was losing my shit. I had a blast tbh.

[@gingy4628]

I’ve seen the film (I’m British) I loved it. I just wished they focus more on the animatronics than less on the police officer and Abby and more jumpscares.

[@TheOnlyRick3]

My biggest fear has come true…Hopefully next reviews will be good!!🤞💜

[@SStudiosCO]

Despite what the critics say I checked the reviews for the audience and it’s at a 4.1/5 and it’s a 7.3/10 on IMDb so I actually see that as an absolute win, plus we know from recent movies not to trust the critics with reviews

[@Cubeytheawesome]

Yeah, we definitely want a sequel. There’s a lot of room for cool stuff if they adapt fnaf 2, all they need to do is keep it as a prequel.

[@monkigunfromhalo6653]

No, I want studios to stop releasing dogshit movies and TV showd based on games.

[@JakeTheDrake]

personally, i've just seen the fnaf movie (since i live in britain) and i really liked it! I'm a big fnaf fan though and the movie was made for fnaf fans so that checks out. The biggest complaint i have is that the movie is kinda rushed and maybe too short (and some goofy-ish moments here and there). It's not particularly "scary" but the atmosphere was awesome. I rate it an 8/10

[@jarden3423]

In movies i dont care about the critics and the reviews i just gonna enjoy the movie for what it was

[@SomeRandomGoob]

Hello, UK here, my opinion on the film is it is 90% amazing, has great horror elements with some creative creative deaths, exceptional Easter eggs (really), cameos incredible, but one scene is a bit of a mess fans may not like as well as small small details later. The last half of the film is an insane ride, and the story is quite cool!!

[@dmitrimarintchenko2146]

Even as a major fan of the entire franchise and series the movie was a complete flop and disappointment they changed up way too much of the key characters and lore which made the games so enjoyable and don't even get me started with how terrible the middle of the movie was it didn't feel even slightly "scary" or like a horror movie and turned into a "friendship beats all" type movie. Utterly disappointing especially with how well the animatronics looked and how well they casted the characters and made the set truly a disappointment.

[@blainedavis8819]

You’ve gotta also realize that they’re gonna have other movies. If this turns into something big, it’ll be where some confusions to be answers later on.

[@connor4089]

I think the true fans of the FANF franchise will like it more than the people that are going in with no knowledge of the franchise. HOPEFULLY😭

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

This feels a lot like the Super Mario Bros movie where critics didn't get it but we the fans loved it. I think it's good that the critics don't really hold the power they used to anymore and we get more of a say in whether or not a movie succeeds or not.

[@joshhickeysmoviereviews]

To quote Gru: Just because everybody hates it, doesn't mean it's not good

[@Xshot_powerblast]

I think there’s a chance that the reviews will be way better when the movie releases publicly who knows let’s hope for the best

[@Josue_S_6411]

It will probably be like the Mario Movie: Bad reviews from critics, good reviews from fans of the source material and the movie end up being sucessful. There will probably also be some controversy about "racism" or something like that. Like when people said that the Mario movie cast "lacked diversity".

[@GamingWalkthroughsYT]

I think this was bound to happen because its kinda like the Mario movie where non-Mario fans gave the movie a bad review. I have a feeling the critics score is gonna be low while fans will be higher.

[@LastNameKeyes23]

All fnaf fans know and understand that this movie was made for us not movie critics. Once that’s understood than I mean lol

[@exallted]

From the UK here, I've already watched the movie. I'm a longterm fan of FNAF but I really don't like the lore and plot that was made here, really a bunch of plot twists that ruin the story.

[@nochs_brother_2]

I'm so glad Dawko, Razzbowski, 8bit Ryan, etc, loved it. Seeing that FNAF fans loved it is exciting

[@DarkHorseDanny]

Maybe they just said that in case they get a guest appearance in FNAF 2

[@AJ._.2005]

Don't worry even though a few people online said that this was not so good, I've been waiting for so long for this movie, I just know it's going to be worth watching from at least my point of view

[@alexandretatishvili4130]

I feel like it makes sense if people think it’s bad because of the story because like you said, fnaf has a history of complicated lore and story and putting even part of that in a movie compared to a game is going to be a lot different

[@JadeSylvinaVA]

Screw the critics! This movie will be dope!

[@rachelsheppard9122]

If the critics hate it then it must be good.

[@gracklepolp0534]

I've kept coming across very positive reviews so this is very shocking 😭

[@Tastydaubany]

Just watched the fnaf movie today in theatres in the UK it was incredible but I’d advise having a look into the lore to appreciate the movie more

[@floisepic]

Just went to see it. I really enjoyed it, personally. Lots of references to the lore and I loved to see popular fnaf youtubers take part. The story obviously had to be adapted to fit a movie structure, but I loved the plot twists and I liked how it wasn't based soley on the lore. There were times where the horror element was lost ***SLIGHT SPOILER*** The animatronics became friends with Vanessa, Mike and Abby and built a fort together ***SLIGHT SPOILER OVER*** But I found that there was a good amount of horror included, which I liked.

[@crazyleonslayer1615]

They gave the Mario movie a low score and Love and Thunder somewhat high They’re opinion doesn’t matter at this point They gave Ms. Marvel a 98% At this point there’s no logic to how they rate stuff

[@Butwhythough881]

Because they aren’t review scores. They’re aggregated percentages of how many critics LIKED a movie/show

[@Mega52101]

I don't care about what others think of the movie but I am worried that bad reviews could lead into a box office flop which then leads to an cancelled sequel. This would be unfortunate because I feel like an sequel would actually complement the original as it could further and elaborate on the details that were plainfully ignored in the first movie.
