This might piss a lot of people off, so be prepared, this is just my opinion.

For the record, I am a five nights at Freddy’s fan. I grew up playing the games. I love the characters and I watched hours and hours of MatPat videos figuring out the lore so you don’t need to say *it’s for the fans* because as a fan, I didn’t like the movie and I really wanted to. I appreciated Scott for responding to the fans and putting a lot of fan service into the movie, but I felt like he put too much fan service that it felt like it lost some of the plot. I will say I think this movie does a great job with the designs of the animatronics cause they look amazing don’t get me wrong. I think every single animatronic and the way it was built and set up was amazing and I respect the studio for working really hard on it. I think they did Charlie’s character pretty good and I’m glad they brought Henry into the movie, but I wish I could see Henry More in some scenes. I think the dream sequences with Vanessa is pretty cool too and very interesting. Too bad we didn’t get a lot. I wish I could see more of them. The worst thing in my opinion that they did was Michael’s character. Michael Afton is my favorite character in all of Fnaf and the fact that they turned him into a generic side villain that wants to keep his father‘s legacy alive just felt like a slap in the face for me. Before this movie came out I had a theory if they would reveal that Mike Schmidt was actually William Afton‘s dad. It would’ve been a really great twist because if you’ve seen in the first one when William says Michael Schmidt He looks at Mike very closely, and Mike Schmidt is Michael Afton in the games, but it kind of makes sense on how that theory wouldn’t make sense because why would William Afton take Garrett and this movie isn’t all about the games and it’s different from the original universe. but sadly that theory got busted and I got pretty upset. Some of the references were pretty cool as well like the Fnaf 2 gameplay with the masks and I liked the shadow Bonnie appearance. And I think the voice actors for the toy animatronics did a great job, Megan Fox, Matt Pat and Kellen Goff Did amazing. The one thing that can technically ruin your time with the movie has to be the pacing. They jump at things really fast and sometimes takes things really slow. For example, the dream sequences with Vanessa they were slow, but you can understand them. And another example, the middle all the way to the ending of the movie with Vanessa escaping the pizzeria, the animatronics being in the neighborhood and the ending with mike trying to calm Charlie down with the music box felt really rushed. Overall, I didn’t like this movie and I am very sad that I didn’t cause I really really wanted to as a fan of the franchise. I wouldn’t call myself a critic because it makes me feel like I’m always negative and I obviously don’t agree with 11% on rotten tomatoes, because rotten tomatoes should never review a game adaptation at all. If you are a fan of fnaf and you really like the movie I’m happy for you. This movie in a way is pretty divisive with the Fnaf community and I’m on the negative side. These are all just my opinion. And I hope you have a lot more fun with the movie than I have.
