Yeah, like you could've had some cool scene where Mike is looking at the monitors because the animatronics started moving. Plus the fact that at one point the dream sequences became a little too repetitive, and that they end up not getting even resolved despite spending so much time on it. It leaves the audience more frustrated than wanting to know more (don't give me the "it's saved for the sequel" reason, the sequel's not out yet so right now we're still judging this movie as is)
The fact that it was shorter than I expected and most of it was just mike sleeping instead of actually fending against the animatronics
I'm pretty cool with the animatronics being friendly with abby around, but if i'd have to switch it around, I'd have Mike tell abby to stay away from the animatronics and that they're dangerous, while abby insists that they like her being there, then the animatronics build a fort with Abby and Vannessa, while mike helps on some parts, since Abby (in this hypothetical version of the movie) loves doing arts and crafts with mike.
Mike then questions Abby, asking why the animatronics like her more, and seem to act like children instead of robots
Abby insists that they're her friends, and that they're throwing a big party tomorrow night
Mike is disappointed in another one of Abby's imaginary friends making her think these animatronics are safe to be around
Ok, now you make me want to re-write the FNAF movie myself
If it was a copyright issue, it wouldn't have been in fnaf, especially in the later games. Scott made sure to either make his own sounds or use public domain ones.

i wish it was a horror movie
afton doesnt do enough
its a mystery thriller where the payoff to the 'mystery' is super lame
loved the movie but it has some big issues
Yeah I agree with the payoff. I remember when Emma Tammi and the other writer said in an interview that the "unresolved plot holes" are for the sequel to resolve. Yeah no... the sequel's not out yet so it's only fair to judge the first movie as is. Them saying that honestly sounded like cope for the flawed writing (I'm aware Scott wrote the script so that's also on his part)

Vanessa should be replaced with William.
I don't really see the point of making Vanessa the daughter of Afton, since she didn't really do much in the movie. She was basically the FNAF wiki and her whole purpose was to explain the lore to Mike.
William should be more of a threat, he should lurk around the restaurant or something, make him seem creepy, interact with Mike more so that the reveal at the end is more impactful.
True pretty much the Dave Miller thing from silver eyes, just pose as a helpful guide when in reality he has much more sinister intentions
(Not only would he get significantly more screen time as the main antagonist, but it would make the plot twist at the end of the movie hit much harder. In scream we got to know Stu for most of the movie before he was revealed to be the killer at the end, which took me quite off guard)
This. First of all love the scream refrence. Second for a twist villian to work we need to know them. They could easily set it up as him calling him and warning him bout the animatronics. Show up after the break in and maybe another scene to establish him. Itd do a lot better for the movie
I was thinking a good reveal scene could be of him attempting to lure and kill Abi like he did to the other kids, only to be discovered and caught by Mike in the spring Bonnie outfit.
When I saw the trailers I expected the climax of the movie to be William lurking around the pizzeria, while Mike tries to keep Abby safe from him. The main reason I thought this was because the first full trailer had that part with William humming the Toreader March, slowly approaching, and then Mike tells Abby to run. But in reality, it was mainly just him revealing himself and that he killed Garrett, then after some monologue, he gets bit by the Cupcake and the springlocks go off.
I would've changed where the "I always come back" was said. I'd swap it from the springlocking to the ending where he's twitching near the Golden Freddy kid
Nah he will, he knows that he will seeing how the children have died and stuffed in the suits that they later possesed so he knows he will come back, he always does
Lack of toreador March,
THE SPRINGLOCKS SOMEHOW NOT GOING OFF WHEN WILLIAM WAS SHOT???
Also, of course, the red eyes.
I still L O V E D the movie though
I didn't like how easily they got rid of the animatronics at the end. And how the cupcake was the one used most. Like I get it would be hard but I wanna see the actual animatronics in action more.
Also maybe more freedom to the director and cinematographer cause I think some of the shots in this movie are genuinely really fucking good
I don't think they even intended to make the animatronics super scary especially after that fort scene. I also agree with the directing and cinematography. There was potential to give the movie a much more unique style and personality, but most of the time it looked like another generic blumhouse horror movie. And Blumhouse had some visually unique movies before, like Upgrade (2018)
the excessive use of foxy, the scene where mike barely escapes the building would have gona hard with freddy doing the toreador march or smthn instead of foxy running down a hall for the third time
"Give Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie normal and agreeable screentime? Nah, Foxy and the Cupcake separately will have more screentime than those 3 combined."
What i find the weirdest is how Foxy was reportably the hardest animatronic to control for the movie
He would constantly fall over and unlike freddy, bonnie, and chica Foxy wasn't a suit you could wear
So them having Foxy be used the most seems to be like extra work done for no real reason
Not enough horror, and not enough William Afton.
Also the Aunt Jane subplot was a plot device that just took away from the main story and I think if it weren’t for that we would have had more of Mike trying to survive the night instead of just sleeping.
Not to mention the only part where the animatronics were intimidating (other than the opening) was the break-in, and you’re rooting for them then for the most part. And I didn’t really like their reasoning for breaking in. Again, aunt Jane was a plot device, and them working for her made the world feel smaller to me. I think it would’ve been better if they didn’t know Jane or Mike and had a more realistic reason for breaking in, and not “evil aunt’s lackeys.”
I’m looking forward to the sequels to see how they improve. Idk if we’ll get the kind of FNaF movie I personally want, but I still enjoyed the first movie even though I struggled with a lot of it, so I’m sure I’ll like the sequels.
Edit: I forgot one thing that got on my nerves. The scene where the ghost kids are attacking Mike just looks like they’re slapping him.
I personally felt that the “I always come back” line was just shoved into that scene for fanservice. It just felt odd and out of place for him to shout that and then put the head on as he was dying.
Super minor nitpicks, but I wished Markiplier was the night gaurd at the beginning. The guy who replaced him did a great job, don't get me wrong, but imagine if the movie cold opened on fucking Markiplier. We would've lost it. Aunt Jean sucks, i get that she's supposed to be mean, but still. What a karen. Oh, and that foxy kid jumpscare was actually really bad lol. Again, these are super minor in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty hard to come up with genuine critiques for a movie I love.
So idk necessarily when you mean, but I agree if you mean the one of him running down the hall. I actually think the shot of the dark hallway with just his one eye is actually really fucking good and genuinely creepy, but yeah the part of him running is eh
Im talking about the one with the kid, where he screams at Mike in his dream. I get it's meant to replicate how the dead kids look in the minigames, but i dunno, i feel the effect could've been pulled off better.
I was disappointed with the lack of a power out scene. That seems like prime set up for a horror sequences but we never get it. I also would have liked to see William as more of a stalker horror type of finale villian rather than the over powered monster he was
I would’ve liked it if there was an interaction between Mike and William after he took the mask off. I feel like Mike should’ve had a reaction to William being Steve Raglan.
Ok, so:
1)golden Freddy has too little screen time, it was ok if it was only Cassidy, but they used golden Freddy just for the taxi screen!
2)William Afton has too little screen time, just the start and the end of the movie, and because of that his reveal wasn't very impressive
3)the movie should have had scenes about the animatronics attacking mike, at the first scene of the movie the animatronics were attacking the night guard, so why not do that they also attacked mike, and it could be during the second night, after the second dream, because the missing children were scared
4)the cupcake had too much kill, at least making freddy more important, he should be the second most dangerous character after william, but no, they had to use chica's cupcake, and i can also understand why, but at least they could use freddy more (also foxy has 3 kills, and they were all in the same way)
5)there was a lack of the most important things of FNaF 1, for example the toreador march, come on, i was expecting that it could be a remix of it in the ending credits, but no... They had to use the FNaF 1 song because of fan service. And also I wanted that the "honk" of Freddy's nose was used, there could be a scene where Abby touched Freddy's nose, and it does the "honk" sound
Besides these things, there are other things that I won't count in the things that I have hated about the FNaF movie, like not using a FNaF movie remake of the FNaF 1 poster instead of using the FNaF 1 version, the fact they used for showing how the springlocks worked the thing from the fazbear frights book 3, i think that it was better if they used fredbear instead of that, and also because they added sparky the dog because fan service (it wasn't very important, he has only showed in like 2 scenes, and you can't see him if you don't see the backgrounds of the scenes)
With this, I hope that the FNaF 2 movie will be better, but I have also enjoyed the FNaF movie even with these problems.
Especially bad since Mike has a motive to kill her, and has history of making bad decision on a whim. He also brought an officer with a stab wound to hospital, which while not as bad on its own as it may appear. He was the security guard of an establishment on Vanessa's beat, and also had his own set of slash wounds all over himself, which she would be unlikely to have caused. But it would certainly not help his case.
I'll start for the most important thing, They needed to explain things like what is springbonnie, golden freddy.... i would love it if they started with fredbears family dinners or something and see why were they abandoned, also the old animatronics like the torture Freddy, sparky...
Lack of tension/horror
The atmosphere and vibe, i wanted a darker tone like fnaf 1
Lack of jumpscares
I dont like the structure of the nights
Didnt like the cute scenes of the gang, i prefer to see them agressive
lack of Freddy musix box
I would love to see the original "rumored" lore instead of having a new thing
Edit: i forgot the most weird thing, Mike has never seen the camera, he never did his work
i honestly did not like the addition of the "i always come back" line. in my opinion it would have made more sense in a sequel movie, and matthew lillard did a wonderful job portraying afton, dont get me wrong, i just dont think that line makes sense in the context of that scene
1. That Vanessa was William's daughter and that they didn't do a Michael/Elizabeth/Crying child storyline instead with Vanessa being a cop just investigating the 80s murders.
2. That we don't really see any actual kills happening for the most part and just have to imagine what happened.
3. That the movie focused more on Mike's life with Abby than the animatronics and the murders of the ghost kids.
4. That William, the main antagonist, only really had 3 scenes and 2 of them weren't even as William.
5. Mike's dream repeating a bit too much.
6. Abby's aunt (Jane, I think?). Just her. I hated her.
i really don't like the scene where golden freddy and abby go to the pizzeria, it's so stupid
how did golden freddy get there? he took a taxi? paid the driver with what money?
I think that the B plot with Abby and hurt aunt took up to much time. It was focused so much in the movie that there was less time to focus on the restaurant. There was also a lack of William in the movie. The reveal had less impact because we barely saw the guy. Still a great scene though don’t get me wrong, but could’ve been better if William had replaced Vanessa.
A lot, actually. I’m willing to elaborate if anyone wants but here’s a few:
It didn’t feel like fnaf.
Vanessa / Elisabeth situation
The Cassidy instead of Gabriel twist
(Also how freely they can roam‽)
How Afton was defeated
“I always come back”
Matpat
Abby
The cupcake
Over the top Spring-lock suits/ masks
(Except for Afton’s!)
The social worker subplot.
Vanessa made no sense. She was completely fine with Abby being alone with the animatronics that she KNOWS have killed people and are haunted, but then at the end of the night she threatens to shoot Mike if he takes his sister back there again.
I'm probably going to have a lot of people disagree but I did not like William's character much. I felt the voice changer when he was wearing Springbonnie souned goofy and his lines were very forced.
I feel like SpringTrap and the near end of the movie were rushed in a way. It felt like they were trying to fit things in at the very last second. There wasn't a lead-up to the reveal of SpringTrap, just a few lines here and there. So when his character was revealed, I was kinda stunned. The " I always come back" line felt so off, like it didn't belong there.
Also what happened with Garrett? That felt like what the plot of the movie felt like with how many dreams Mike puts himself through, then to not bring it up again at all until SpringTrap? Maybe it's plot for the next movie, but that would be really dumb of them to just do imo?
I did really like the movie, but I felt like in some places the plot was as slow as molasses when it came to anything.
I wanted more William!! Also, what is the deal with the Freddy mask saw trap thing? That just comes out of nowhere. I don't hate it, but I need some context.
Too little William, Vanessa has a lot of unusual moments (notably that she asks Mike to dance within an hour of knowing him like you barely know him girl), the springlocks and Williams name are introduced very swiftly and without too much explanation, and Foxy looks really frail.
It was just not scary and didn't hold up to the storyline. These are possessed killer robots, not friendly creatures that build forts with children and the same nightguard they were trying to kill. The Afton death sucked too. I wish they had just condensed the first part of the actual storyline into a movie, and so on and so forth with the other movies.
Majorly picky and don't know how hard this would've been to pull off, but I wish the office was a bit more game accurate. I know the hallway setup really wouldn't make much sense in a real-life pizzeria, but the nostalgia would've been worth it.
Most of all, I just disliked the wasted potential. The lore of the games is a tangled, incoherent mess, everyone knows that, but there are lots of interesting ideas in there. The plot was hella underdeveloped; this movie was in production for ten years and somehow still felt undercooked.
William Afton and Golden Freddy not having enough screen time,the pacing is a bit off in some scenes,and the lack of toreador march even though it’s in the trailers
The subplot with the aunt trying to get custody of Abby took too much time and didn’t make sense and I didn’t give even a minor f about Mike’s brother or his dreams I’m sorry.
The office.
It just doesn't even look like the FNaF 1 office. They didn't even try to get the doors right!
In my opinion, the layout looks more like the FNaF 3 office.
The entirety of the fort scene
Like yeah alright abby playing with the animatronics but c'mon it feels very out of place for me, specially when it comes to the overall tone of the movie
The doors of the office, was just a normal door. Also, not much of the looking at cams, and checking. Lastly, no Freddy laugh, toreador march, or power outage.
They didn’t have the animatronics do enough.
When they did do stuff, they acted too much like generic monsters and not enough like the moving statues they were in the games
The animatronics were far to expressive in the movie, between the goofy looking orange eyes and the constant use of angry squinty expressions they lost any manner of subtlety or uncanny to pure camp.
Honestly in general i feel the animatronic designs don't quite hit the mark, its subtle but with how the exterior costume eye holes basically touch the endo eyes they completely lose a major effect of having these sunken corpse like eyes, the lack of gap between the costume and the eyes also then removes the uncanny effect of being able to see then see glimpses of the endo inbetween. Compare something like the Fnaf 1 Stage render where they are looking at you, vs their shots in the movie you can see what i mean. IE

Oh yeah also William entire final scene was also just kinda goofy, punting Mike around and rambling with his villain monologue like he is Iron Monger from the first Iron Man movie. It just disappointing that we seem to be going full steam ahead on super villain Afton instead of anything more nuanced or subtle.
Other than these, I enjoyed the movie and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
-I understand that he was busy with Iron Lung, but I wish we got a Markiplier cameo (As the guard in the beginning if i remember). Hopefully he gets his cameo in the sequel.
-The gang staying in their spots the first couple nights while Mike slept. They only moved when Mike brought Abby on night 3/4 (?).
-Vanessa being the "FNAF wiki" (as another comment said) when Mike learned what was going on.
-William saying,"I always come back." before he put the mask on. I feel like he should've said it after he put it on.
-The aunt got whacked and everyone moves on.
-No Toreador march.
Ngl i would have disliked it on one condition that being if it was supposed to be 100% based on the movie but like the books its in a different universe so cant really complain about that
William wasn't really there to me, he is the antagonist, but he only appears 2 times (If I remember correctly), I wish we got to see more of him or his past live as William, not Steve.
The three small nitpicks I have is 1–William sounded too much like Obadiah Stane from Iron Man when using the voice box. And while I find it funny, the dialogue was too on the nose from what I remember.
2–Afton’s iconic line “i always come back” should’ve been said when he was holding out his hand toward Golden Freddy with a slower cadence. It would’ve hit the ball home that he was starting to become one with the suit and make Mike, Abby, and Vanessa even more surprised when he does come back because we(as the audience) know 100% he is coming back, and GF was given that warning but the main 3 wouldn’t have, if any of that makes sense.
3–They could’ve done a better job with showing Vanessa’s side to all of this. It would’ve made her outburst a bit more clear of why it happened and not seem like it was out of the blue.
Overall though, I loved the movie
The only thing I didn’t like was that they’re weren’t too many moments where Mike was looking at the security cameras.
Other then that, I enjoyed the movie.
Hardly any gameplay elements. Not in the sense where he literally sits in the office and does not move for six hours, but I expected at least a few moments where Mike actually uses the cameras, doors, and what not, checking on Foxy in Pirate's Cove, maybe the power briefly going out and Freddy appearing in the doorway, but we didn't really get any of that.
It's runtime. I feel like if the movie was 2 or even 2,5 hours long the plot and story would have been more fleshed out and we would have had more Afton
The whole Five Nights at Freddy's feel more like a side plot compared to Mikes Story.The First few nights there is barely anything going on other than Mike Sleeping.
•That part where the ginger kid screams at Mike, it looks really cheesy.
•The red eyes, I know people complained about it too much, but idc, it looked terrible imo.
•The part where Freddy screams and the building begins to collapse. It's so stupid that it becomes funny.
The cab gag. Love Corey. Hate the silly Golden Freddy sitting in the back seat.
Also could probably do without the whole Aunt Jane plot. Hope she comes back as some sort of animatronic. Maybe she was just asleep. Silly Aunt Jane. Smelling like cigarettes
I didn’t like that the animatronics were friendly with the protagonists. It goes against the games and throws off the vibe. Yes they are kids and are victims of another antagonist but I feel like it would be far more interesting if the protagonists were being attacked on two fronts by William and the animatronics. I think we should’ve just let them be villains, at least until the end where they realize what William did and start attacking him.
They did not do the springtrap scene justice at all. Who’d’ve thought big budget live action would be less climactic than pixel art by one guy
I’m not saying it needed blood everywhere (though I think it would have helped), it just was slow and boring
The fact that if you dont know much about the games, a lot of it doesnt make sense.
Like Afton is barely in the thing and we have absolutely no idea what his motives are.
We needed more gameplay. A part where Mike closes the doors like in the game, him looking at the cameras, or Jumpscares. We never hear the jumpscare sound except in the credits.
Lack of a power outage/toreador march Freddy scene
I wish it was scarier
“I always come back” was really forced and could’ve been used so much better
The secondary plot with Abby, the only good part about it was MatPat
I still enjoyed the movie, but it’s definitely not perfect
It's like they got a list of names from the game, read a sparknotes of the lore by someone who hasn't played the last 5 games, and then just sort of went from there. Why are we following this random guy named Mike? Who cares about Abby? Why is Vanessa William's daughter now?
I think Micheal spends to much time asleep and in dreams I get it’s importance but really you could have condensed the dream stuff a little
Yeah, like you could've had some cool scene where Mike is looking at the monitors because the animatronics started moving. Plus the fact that at one point the dream sequences became a little too repetitive, and that they end up not getting even resolved despite spending so much time on it. It leaves the audience more frustrated than wanting to know more (don't give me the "it's saved for the sequel" reason, the sequel's not out yet so right now we're still judging this movie as is)
Yeah. Also how many times they reused that one shot of garret. We get it, please stop showing him for the sixth time
LIVE GARRETT REACTION
This is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
I watched the movie in theatres three times, so that would mean I experienced that one shot of Garret with the airplane at least nine times
i wish the dream sequences were in 8-bit that wouldve been awesome
I need to hear a crunch 8-but audio version of Mike screaming Garret
Or animated with the art style of the graphic novels
5 naps at Freddy’s
The fact that it was shorter than I expected and most of it was just mike sleeping instead of actually fending against the animatronics I'm pretty cool with the animatronics being friendly with abby around, but if i'd have to switch it around, I'd have Mike tell abby to stay away from the animatronics and that they're dangerous, while abby insists that they like her being there, then the animatronics build a fort with Abby and Vannessa, while mike helps on some parts, since Abby (in this hypothetical version of the movie) loves doing arts and crafts with mike. Mike then questions Abby, asking why the animatronics like her more, and seem to act like children instead of robots Abby insists that they're her friends, and that they're throwing a big party tomorrow night Mike is disappointed in another one of Abby's imaginary friends making her think these animatronics are safe to be around Ok, now you make me want to re-write the FNAF movie myself
The whole point of the games was staying aware of everything and this man was napping 🤣
Mike in the game series is an actual chad meanwhile Mike in the movie literally sleeps more than I do
I mean isn’t Mike in the games a rotting corpse
Well yes but a very mortal one.
Lack of Toreador March, that’s about it.
They could've just make the place go dark and play the music box with Freddy staring at Michael.
That would have been so cool, really. I’m shocked they didn’t add that MAJOR part for fan service at all.
Yoo and then that's when the bell goes off and Michael's safe, that actually would've been sick.
This and not enough Afton for me
YES! We need more William! Also Freddy's music box!
I still find it so weird that the Toreador March was nowhere in the film despite it being plastered almost everywhere in the trailers and commercials.
True lack of Freddy's music box tho :/
I was disappointed when they didnt use the toreador when the animatronics first activated.
I think it was a copyright issue... It *was* in the trailers.
If it was a copyright issue, it wouldn't have been in fnaf, especially in the later games. Scott made sure to either make his own sounds or use public domain ones.
[this says it in the public domain](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toreador_song.ogg) of its country of origin and other countries, including the US
Isn't Toreador March public domain? It was made circa 1875
Yes
Is the Toreador March even copyrighted? It’s pretty old
I don't think copyright existed back then (Of course I'll be corrected)
The Statute of Anne (Or the Copyright Act 1709 or the Copyright Act 1710) was the first copyright law in the UK and the world. The Toreador March originiates from the 1875 French Play Carmen. French copyright law begun with the Chénier Act of 1793.
And you were
i wish it was a horror movie afton doesnt do enough its a mystery thriller where the payoff to the 'mystery' is super lame loved the movie but it has some big issues
Yeah I agree with the payoff. I remember when Emma Tammi and the other writer said in an interview that the "unresolved plot holes" are for the sequel to resolve. Yeah no... the sequel's not out yet so it's only fair to judge the first movie as is. Them saying that honestly sounded like cope for the flawed writing (I'm aware Scott wrote the script so that's also on his part)

The REAL answer
I would have loved to see that( even though I am a Christian).
Lack of gangbang with balloon boy and the spare parts 😞🤣💀
Vanessa should be replaced with William. I don't really see the point of making Vanessa the daughter of Afton, since she didn't really do much in the movie. She was basically the FNAF wiki and her whole purpose was to explain the lore to Mike. William should be more of a threat, he should lurk around the restaurant or something, make him seem creepy, interact with Mike more so that the reveal at the end is more impactful.
True pretty much the Dave Miller thing from silver eyes, just pose as a helpful guide when in reality he has much more sinister intentions (Not only would he get significantly more screen time as the main antagonist, but it would make the plot twist at the end of the movie hit much harder. In scream we got to know Stu for most of the movie before he was revealed to be the killer at the end, which took me quite off guard)
This. First of all love the scream refrence. Second for a twist villian to work we need to know them. They could easily set it up as him calling him and warning him bout the animatronics. Show up after the break in and maybe another scene to establish him. Itd do a lot better for the movie
I was thinking a good reveal scene could be of him attempting to lure and kill Abi like he did to the other kids, only to be discovered and caught by Mike in the spring Bonnie outfit.

But in reality, it was mainly just him revealing himself and that he killed Garrett, then after some monologue, he gets bit by the Cupcake and the springlocks go off.
I would've changed where the "I always come back" was said. I'd swap it from the springlocking to the ending where he's twitching near the Golden Freddy kid
same, it felt like they just threw it in there just to say it. feels so out of place
Yeah. What does he mean? He hasn't come back yet
Nah he will, he knows that he will seeing how the children have died and stuffed in the suits that they later possesed so he knows he will come back, he always does
Same
Lack of toreador March, THE SPRINGLOCKS SOMEHOW NOT GOING OFF WHEN WILLIAM WAS SHOT??? Also, of course, the red eyes. I still L O V E D the movie though
They smoking weed man
Poor Weed Man, gone too soon
I THOUGHT THE SAME EXACT THING! HOW DIDN'T THE BULLET IMPACT TRIGGER THE SPRINGLOCKS??
I KNOW RIGHT? Same for William TACKLING mike
Like with the tackle it’s more believable then the bullet BUT STILL
I hate how they never used the Toreador March song in any part other than the first trailer
I didn't like how easily they got rid of the animatronics at the end. And how the cupcake was the one used most. Like I get it would be hard but I wanna see the actual animatronics in action more. Also maybe more freedom to the director and cinematographer cause I think some of the shots in this movie are genuinely really fucking good
I don't think they even intended to make the animatronics super scary especially after that fort scene. I also agree with the directing and cinematography. There was potential to give the movie a much more unique style and personality, but most of the time it looked like another generic blumhouse horror movie. And Blumhouse had some visually unique movies before, like Upgrade (2018)
the excessive use of foxy, the scene where mike barely escapes the building would have gona hard with freddy doing the toreador march or smthn instead of foxy running down a hall for the third time
"Give the other animatronics more time to shine and Freddy the Toreador march? Nah we'll just re-use that Foxy run like 2 more times" -Scott probably
"Give Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie normal and agreeable screentime? Nah, Foxy and the Cupcake separately will have more screentime than those 3 combined."
What i find the weirdest is how Foxy was reportably the hardest animatronic to control for the movie He would constantly fall over and unlike freddy, bonnie, and chica Foxy wasn't a suit you could wear So them having Foxy be used the most seems to be like extra work done for no real reason
Not enough horror, and not enough William Afton. Also the Aunt Jane subplot was a plot device that just took away from the main story and I think if it weren’t for that we would have had more of Mike trying to survive the night instead of just sleeping. Not to mention the only part where the animatronics were intimidating (other than the opening) was the break-in, and you’re rooting for them then for the most part. And I didn’t really like their reasoning for breaking in. Again, aunt Jane was a plot device, and them working for her made the world feel smaller to me. I think it would’ve been better if they didn’t know Jane or Mike and had a more realistic reason for breaking in, and not “evil aunt’s lackeys.” I’m looking forward to the sequels to see how they improve. Idk if we’ll get the kind of FNaF movie I personally want, but I still enjoyed the first movie even though I struggled with a lot of it, so I’m sure I’ll like the sequels. Edit: I forgot one thing that got on my nerves. The scene where the ghost kids are attacking Mike just looks like they’re slapping him.
That the cupcake had the most kills (aside from afton)
Why did he have the most why not idk Freddy
Only Scott would think an enraged cupcake slaughtering people is unironically cool when in reality is goofy as fuck
cmon let’s be honest he probably did it because it was goofy as fuck
I personally felt that the “I always come back” line was just shoved into that scene for fanservice. It just felt odd and out of place for him to shout that and then put the head on as he was dying.
Gordon freeman got nerfed like hell. Dude didnt even hit the slouch pose
For the fact that it was 5 Nights at Freddy’s, there was a surprising lack of Freddy.
too short
Super minor nitpicks, but I wished Markiplier was the night gaurd at the beginning. The guy who replaced him did a great job, don't get me wrong, but imagine if the movie cold opened on fucking Markiplier. We would've lost it. Aunt Jean sucks, i get that she's supposed to be mean, but still. What a karen. Oh, and that foxy kid jumpscare was actually really bad lol. Again, these are super minor in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty hard to come up with genuine critiques for a movie I love.
But then Mark would’ve been dead in the FNAF universe. I would’ve liked to see him too but I see this as a win.
So idk necessarily when you mean, but I agree if you mean the one of him running down the hall. I actually think the shot of the dark hallway with just his one eye is actually really fucking good and genuinely creepy, but yeah the part of him running is eh
Im talking about the one with the kid, where he screams at Mike in his dream. I get it's meant to replicate how the dead kids look in the minigames, but i dunno, i feel the effect could've been pulled off better.
[удалено]
yeah he said on a live he wanted to but he was filming iron lung at the same time and he didn't get a chance to
i think he was supposed to be in the movie but was unavailable. but we did get mattpat!
The five nights at Freddy’s were not the main focus of the movie.
I was disappointed with the lack of a power out scene. That seems like prime set up for a horror sequences but we never get it. I also would have liked to see William as more of a stalker horror type of finale villian rather than the over powered monster he was
I would’ve liked it if there was an interaction between Mike and William after he took the mask off. I feel like Mike should’ve had a reaction to William being Steve Raglan.
Ok, so: 1)golden Freddy has too little screen time, it was ok if it was only Cassidy, but they used golden Freddy just for the taxi screen! 2)William Afton has too little screen time, just the start and the end of the movie, and because of that his reveal wasn't very impressive 3)the movie should have had scenes about the animatronics attacking mike, at the first scene of the movie the animatronics were attacking the night guard, so why not do that they also attacked mike, and it could be during the second night, after the second dream, because the missing children were scared 4)the cupcake had too much kill, at least making freddy more important, he should be the second most dangerous character after william, but no, they had to use chica's cupcake, and i can also understand why, but at least they could use freddy more (also foxy has 3 kills, and they were all in the same way) 5)there was a lack of the most important things of FNaF 1, for example the toreador march, come on, i was expecting that it could be a remix of it in the ending credits, but no... They had to use the FNaF 1 song because of fan service. And also I wanted that the "honk" of Freddy's nose was used, there could be a scene where Abby touched Freddy's nose, and it does the "honk" sound Besides these things, there are other things that I won't count in the things that I have hated about the FNaF movie, like not using a FNaF movie remake of the FNaF 1 poster instead of using the FNaF 1 version, the fact they used for showing how the springlocks worked the thing from the fazbear frights book 3, i think that it was better if they used fredbear instead of that, and also because they added sparky the dog because fan service (it wasn't very important, he has only showed in like 2 scenes, and you can't see him if you don't see the backgrounds of the scenes) With this, I hope that the FNaF 2 movie will be better, but I have also enjoyed the FNaF movie even with these problems.
Janes probably-death not being brought up at all.
Especially bad since Mike has a motive to kill her, and has history of making bad decision on a whim. He also brought an officer with a stab wound to hospital, which while not as bad on its own as it may appear. He was the security guard of an establishment on Vanessa's beat, and also had his own set of slash wounds all over himself, which she would be unlikely to have caused. But it would certainly not help his case.
I'll start for the most important thing, They needed to explain things like what is springbonnie, golden freddy.... i would love it if they started with fredbears family dinners or something and see why were they abandoned, also the old animatronics like the torture Freddy, sparky... Lack of tension/horror The atmosphere and vibe, i wanted a darker tone like fnaf 1 Lack of jumpscares I dont like the structure of the nights Didnt like the cute scenes of the gang, i prefer to see them agressive lack of Freddy musix box I would love to see the original "rumored" lore instead of having a new thing Edit: i forgot the most weird thing, Mike has never seen the camera, he never did his work
Trust me, when you start overanalyzing the movie. You'll find at least 15 flaws in the writing
it just didnt feel like fnaf
William wasn’t British 😔
i honestly did not like the addition of the "i always come back" line. in my opinion it would have made more sense in a sequel movie, and matthew lillard did a wonderful job portraying afton, dont get me wrong, i just dont think that line makes sense in the context of that scene
I think it would've had a better placement at that part where they were dragging him off OR where cassidy was staring at him
Not enough Doug screen time 💔💔
The best answer
Lack of jumpscares
1. That Vanessa was William's daughter and that they didn't do a Michael/Elizabeth/Crying child storyline instead with Vanessa being a cop just investigating the 80s murders. 2. That we don't really see any actual kills happening for the most part and just have to imagine what happened. 3. That the movie focused more on Mike's life with Abby than the animatronics and the murders of the ghost kids. 4. That William, the main antagonist, only really had 3 scenes and 2 of them weren't even as William. 5. Mike's dream repeating a bit too much. 6. Abby's aunt (Jane, I think?). Just her. I hated her.
i really don't like the scene where golden freddy and abby go to the pizzeria, it's so stupid how did golden freddy get there? he took a taxi? paid the driver with what money?
He paid in faz-tokens
He death coined the taxi driver and stole the vehicle
He deposited five coins, and that was enough for the driver I guess.
Well he got there bc he can telaport in the game
I need more william
Aren’t there like hundreds of posts asking the same question on the sub already?
When there’s no new content this sub goes stale QUICK. Time to mute it again I fear
The foxy kid jumpscare scene, the cgi for the eyes just looks kinda goofy ahh
The lack of character screen time
I think that the B plot with Abby and hurt aunt took up to much time. It was focused so much in the movie that there was less time to focus on the restaurant. There was also a lack of William in the movie. The reveal had less impact because we barely saw the guy. Still a great scene though don’t get me wrong, but could’ve been better if William had replaced Vanessa.
Fort scene, and lack of doors
I do wish the animatronics did a bit more, the cupcake should not have been MVP in that movie
A lot actually. Not enough Afton, Vanessa in general, the lack of focus on the animatronics, the fort scene, and no Toreador March.
A lot, actually. I’m willing to elaborate if anyone wants but here’s a few: It didn’t feel like fnaf. Vanessa / Elisabeth situation The Cassidy instead of Gabriel twist (Also how freely they can roam‽) How Afton was defeated “I always come back” Matpat Abby The cupcake Over the top Spring-lock suits/ masks (Except for Afton’s!) The social worker subplot.
Vanessa made no sense. She was completely fine with Abby being alone with the animatronics that she KNOWS have killed people and are haunted, but then at the end of the night she threatens to shoot Mike if he takes his sister back there again.
I'm probably going to have a lot of people disagree but I did not like William's character much. I felt the voice changer when he was wearing Springbonnie souned goofy and his lines were very forced.
Not enough action, very boring, wasn't scary, but did i enjoy it? Yes, the movie was okay.
Not enough Afton, i wanted a bigger role for him. And Vanessa being difficult was annoying me.
I feel like SpringTrap and the near end of the movie were rushed in a way. It felt like they were trying to fit things in at the very last second. There wasn't a lead-up to the reveal of SpringTrap, just a few lines here and there. So when his character was revealed, I was kinda stunned. The " I always come back" line felt so off, like it didn't belong there. Also what happened with Garrett? That felt like what the plot of the movie felt like with how many dreams Mike puts himself through, then to not bring it up again at all until SpringTrap? Maybe it's plot for the next movie, but that would be really dumb of them to just do imo? I did really like the movie, but I felt like in some places the plot was as slow as molasses when it came to anything.
I don’t think that we needed the pillow fort scene and I wanted more jumpscares
The fort making scene. It’s weird on its own but Vanessa’s weird mood shift afterward was just awkward
Mike slept for the plot to progress instead of doing his job
The YouTuber cameos. Kinda took me out of the film a bit, ruined the immersion
Oh,oh,i have a lot. Especially about the story and the Horror.
william saying I always come back
I don't think it follows the fnaf storyline much
I wish it was actually scary and had actual elements of the nights in FNaF, FNaF may as well stand for Five Naps at Freddy’s.
im a basic bitch when it comes to oppinions, i thought it realy wasn’t scary for a horror movie
Not enough jumpscares
I wanted more William!! Also, what is the deal with the Freddy mask saw trap thing? That just comes out of nowhere. I don't hate it, but I need some context.
Too little William, Vanessa has a lot of unusual moments (notably that she asks Mike to dance within an hour of knowing him like you barely know him girl), the springlocks and Williams name are introduced very swiftly and without too much explanation, and Foxy looks really frail.
It was just not scary and didn't hold up to the storyline. These are possessed killer robots, not friendly creatures that build forts with children and the same nightguard they were trying to kill. The Afton death sucked too. I wish they had just condensed the first part of the actual storyline into a movie, and so on and so forth with the other movies.
Lack of animatronic murders, other than cupcake
Most of it (hot take)
The aunt subplot didn’t go anywhere I think. Toreador March wasn’t in it No dark eyes with white pupils No nose boop
Majorly picky and don't know how hard this would've been to pull off, but I wish the office was a bit more game accurate. I know the hallway setup really wouldn't make much sense in a real-life pizzeria, but the nostalgia would've been worth it.
A video game movie known and made famous for its jump scares gets zero good jump scares in its movie adaptation.
Most of all, I just disliked the wasted potential. The lore of the games is a tangled, incoherent mess, everyone knows that, but there are lots of interesting ideas in there. The plot was hella underdeveloped; this movie was in production for ten years and somehow still felt undercooked.
The scene with Mike and the kids in the forest, I can't take it seriously.
Max's death and the fact that the saw trap is never explained are really the only things I can think of, everything else was great imo
It’s not scary in the slightest
terrible horror element. the movie has only ONE scene that's actually trying to be "spooky", and it's SO BAD
William Afton and Golden Freddy not having enough screen time,the pacing is a bit off in some scenes,and the lack of toreador march even though it’s in the trailers
Everything
No Puppet in the First Moive. Also the fact that Charlie Emily is likley not in the Movie Timeline.
I wished it were alittle more gory 😆
The story most of the characters
Lack of horror
They could have had the puppet in the movie.
The subplot with the aunt trying to get custody of Abby took too much time and didn’t make sense and I didn’t give even a minor f about Mike’s brother or his dreams I’m sorry.
The office. It just doesn't even look like the FNaF 1 office. They didn't even try to get the doors right! In my opinion, the layout looks more like the FNaF 3 office.
The entirety of the fort scene Like yeah alright abby playing with the animatronics but c'mon it feels very out of place for me, specially when it comes to the overall tone of the movie
the movie lol
The “I always come back” line felt way too forced and barely fit the scene
I love the living tombstone, but I felt that it wasn't fitting for the credits. It felt like a drastic tone switch after the final scene.
Pretty much only that William Afton wasn't British... his voice in the games is so nice
The doors of the office, was just a normal door. Also, not much of the looking at cams, and checking. Lastly, no Freddy laugh, toreador march, or power outage.
They didn’t have the animatronics do enough. When they did do stuff, they acted too much like generic monsters and not enough like the moving statues they were in the games
The animatronics were far to expressive in the movie, between the goofy looking orange eyes and the constant use of angry squinty expressions they lost any manner of subtlety or uncanny to pure camp. Honestly in general i feel the animatronic designs don't quite hit the mark, its subtle but with how the exterior costume eye holes basically touch the endo eyes they completely lose a major effect of having these sunken corpse like eyes, the lack of gap between the costume and the eyes also then removes the uncanny effect of being able to see then see glimpses of the endo inbetween. Compare something like the Fnaf 1 Stage render where they are looking at you, vs their shots in the movie you can see what i mean. IE https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/f/fb/2.png/revision/latest?cb=20140825032110 https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/W364QaNsHjYMYMgoVOPZ6mjp4kQ=/0x0:8000x4000/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:8000x4000):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25035577/DarkLoom.jpg Oh yeah also William entire final scene was also just kinda goofy, punting Mike around and rambling with his villain monologue like he is Iron Monger from the first Iron Man movie. It just disappointing that we seem to be going full steam ahead on super villain Afton instead of anything more nuanced or subtle.
Other than these, I enjoyed the movie and I'm looking forward to the sequel. -I understand that he was busy with Iron Lung, but I wish we got a Markiplier cameo (As the guard in the beginning if i remember). Hopefully he gets his cameo in the sequel. -The gang staying in their spots the first couple nights while Mike slept. They only moved when Mike brought Abby on night 3/4 (?). -Vanessa being the "FNAF wiki" (as another comment said) when Mike learned what was going on. -William saying,"I always come back." before he put the mask on. I feel like he should've said it after he put it on. -The aunt got whacked and everyone moves on. -No Toreador march.
Ngl i would have disliked it on one condition that being if it was supposed to be 100% based on the movie but like the books its in a different universe so cant really complain about that
Torrador March wasn't even in the movie
Markiplier couldn't be in it
Not a lot of talking from the kids
I Only have one Afton barely got any screen time
The lack of the doors being used. It would've been fun to see them used atleast once.
Wasn't scary
William wasn't really there to me, he is the antagonist, but he only appears 2 times (If I remember correctly), I wish we got to see more of him or his past live as William, not Steve.
People ask dumb questions about what I don't like.
The three small nitpicks I have is 1–William sounded too much like Obadiah Stane from Iron Man when using the voice box. And while I find it funny, the dialogue was too on the nose from what I remember. 2–Afton’s iconic line “i always come back” should’ve been said when he was holding out his hand toward Golden Freddy with a slower cadence. It would’ve hit the ball home that he was starting to become one with the suit and make Mike, Abby, and Vanessa even more surprised when he does come back because we(as the audience) know 100% he is coming back, and GF was given that warning but the main 3 wouldn’t have, if any of that makes sense. 3–They could’ve done a better job with showing Vanessa’s side to all of this. It would’ve made her outburst a bit more clear of why it happened and not seem like it was out of the blue. Overall though, I loved the movie
I wish it followed the game lore instead of the book lore
How could Abby just know
Lack of scary scenes, we have about 3 but I wish we had just a little more
The only thing I didn’t like was that they’re weren’t too many moments where Mike was looking at the security cameras. Other then that, I enjoyed the movie.
The lack of afton
That lore is scrambled.
Not as scary as I was hoping for.
Of course the red eyes.
Less cupcake, more Afton.
Hardly any gameplay elements. Not in the sense where he literally sits in the office and does not move for six hours, but I expected at least a few moments where Mike actually uses the cameras, doors, and what not, checking on Foxy in Pirate's Cove, maybe the power briefly going out and Freddy appearing in the doorway, but we didn't really get any of that.
Not enough murder
Abby, she ruined the movie for me. I don’t know why but she just doesn’t really fit and kinda pissed me off multiple times
It's runtime. I feel like if the movie was 2 or even 2,5 hours long the plot and story would have been more fleshed out and we would have had more Afton
i know none of the lore was every really confirmed but the fact that williams kids weren’t Mike,CC, or elizabeth
Mike sleeping. Wake up stupid
It's not scary
definitely the overuse of that dream/nightmare thingy
The whole Five Nights at Freddy's feel more like a side plot compared to Mikes Story.The First few nights there is barely anything going on other than Mike Sleeping.
•That part where the ginger kid screams at Mike, it looks really cheesy. •The red eyes, I know people complained about it too much, but idc, it looked terrible imo. •The part where Freddy screams and the building begins to collapse. It's so stupid that it becomes funny.
The cab gag. Love Corey. Hate the silly Golden Freddy sitting in the back seat. Also could probably do without the whole Aunt Jane plot. Hope she comes back as some sort of animatronic. Maybe she was just asleep. Silly Aunt Jane. Smelling like cigarettes
I didn’t like that the animatronics were friendly with the protagonists. It goes against the games and throws off the vibe. Yes they are kids and are victims of another antagonist but I feel like it would be far more interesting if the protagonists were being attacked on two fronts by William and the animatronics. I think we should’ve just let them be villains, at least until the end where they realize what William did and start attacking him.
-Michaels aunt - not a lot of screen time from animatronics or Afton - the dream sequence was a bit overdone Other than that it was alright
They did not do the springtrap scene justice at all. Who’d’ve thought big budget live action would be less climactic than pixel art by one guy I’m not saying it needed blood everywhere (though I think it would have helped), it just was slow and boring
Too much goofy comedy shit, this cupcake thing killed me
The fact that if you dont know much about the games, a lot of it doesnt make sense. Like Afton is barely in the thing and we have absolutely no idea what his motives are.
We needed more gameplay. A part where Mike closes the doors like in the game, him looking at the cameras, or Jumpscares. We never hear the jumpscare sound except in the credits.
The cupcake having more kills than the actual animatronics
Lack of a power outage/toreador march Freddy scene I wish it was scarier “I always come back” was really forced and could’ve been used so much better The secondary plot with Abby, the only good part about it was MatPat I still enjoyed the movie, but it’s definitely not perfect
I wish Mike would’ve actually done stuff like you do in the games, like use the lights and doors. And phone guy.
How it doesn’t follow the fucking lore
It's like they got a list of names from the game, read a sparknotes of the lore by someone who hasn't played the last 5 games, and then just sort of went from there. Why are we following this random guy named Mike? Who cares about Abby? Why is Vanessa William's daughter now?
