Hahaha a bit quir-
I love that we are getting into an era where things are actually being made for fans rather than trying to appeal to everything and everyone.
The movie kinda sucked ass tho. The movie is a completely different story that simply borrows characters and animatronics while throwing in a few nods to the game. It was entertaining but i was disappointed that they didnt put in the effort to adapt the actual lore.
i barely knew anything about fnaf and liked it
@@Blaketarded Its supposed to be an adaptation not a 1:1 retelling.
@@Blaketardedtomb raider tried that, and it didn't work because there's not much point in paying to see a film which is 100% the same as the game you've already bought
@@Blaketardedyeah that’s what I thought too especially when Venessa turned out to be Williams daughter that’s when I decided it was just average
This movie was made for the fans, as movies like this should be. I’m proud of everyone who worked on the film and it was such a fun watch
I used to be veteran fnaf fans, played the whole series except security breach and even dive deep into the lore theory but with the movie honestly i dont really care that much about the lore. It is true it was mid, predictable, the story are not exactly the same bla bla, but i just love it bcs it simply got movie adaptation and that is enough to me. Plus there are tons of references of the game series from the movie itself i really appreciate how they put even an effort to make the movie. It was definitely made for fans, but not to the point where it had to be perfectly made movie. Honestly people need to chill lol
Quiet furry trash.
I mean they have liked even worse movies. Some of the most boring have the highest rating but i mean what good are critics when it’s the people who make the movie prosper
@@nabedesu7708bait used to be believable
I think the point was to introduce new viewers into the franchise while having enough bits of the original for veterans to enjoy.
I love fan service movies. The kind of movies where if you're just the average viewer who doesn't know what they're watching, it will be mediocre at best, but if you've grown up with the franchise, you'll immediately see dozens of easter eggs and cameos nobody else would get. Perfection.
Reminds me of the D&D movie that came out. Again, critics thought the movie was meh, but any D&D fan and their pals absolutely LOVED it
Fan service sucks
when i saw it everyone in the theater clapped everytime there was a direct reference to something from the games/lore (like a line ripped right from it), it was so much fun because you could tell everyone there was a fan

@@NetBattler Yes, those bastards qualified it with an 87%
I generally don't trust either score of RT.
Oh what an ORIGINAL take. Mr. Rotten Tomatoes went himself to see the movie and loved it, that's how it works
I worked at an elementary book fair. The amount of children I sold FNAF character encyclopedias and chapter books to that were age 7-10 is insane. I’m glad the movie wasn’t any more gory than it is. They know the younger fan base will access it via streaming which is why they didn’t paywall it or make them wait.
That's the problem. It shouldn't be for fans who came from Security breach.
Future edit: the movie is not bad or that childhish by the way. I think it's a 5/10. I just think a FNAF movie shouldn't be watered down as some people say.
@@redpanda6497 what do you mean? the books have been out way longer than security breach
How is that good? Movie quality dropped simply because it's pg13. And the audience you are talking about are some weird ass furry fanfic enjoyers which is quite disgusting considering it's all kids
@@whatdoitypeherelolso you wanted the movie to be gory and edgy as fuck just because blood=good? Well I have something to tell you...
@@Grande_Vtreh, he probably just wanted more horror aspects which is respectable
I like how they actually connected some of the lore, especially each specific spirit that controls the animatronics. Afton was correctly portrayed too, he toyed with souls and wants the children to believe that they are in the wrong...and he actually always comes back.
Tbh that is pretty basic stuff, like it wasn't hard to do
@@CrimsonAzure-fh6ybDoes it have to be hard to be enjoyable?
"Afton was correctly portrayed"
- Not British
- Vanessa's dad somehow
- The Golden Bonnie suit doesn't look remotely like it does in the games
@@LARAUJO_0 Had a goofy springlock scene too
The spring bonnie suit in the games was literal pixels, no joke that's the only time we saw it in the games, as pixels in a cutscene. (Not counting springtrap ofc) @LARAUJO_0
This may sound bad… but it actually comes full circle. If you remember back in 2014, Critics hated Scott’s last game and most of the criticism came from the stiff animation and horrendous character models that made it “look like a bootleg 90s Chuck E Cheese animatronics”. Scott later took that criticism and made FNAF, similarly… I’m pretty sure the negative criticism from this movie about to propel for a sequel and third movie.
That’s your opinion.
@@quikskoprbro968??? No he literally stated facts on what happened 💀
They already signed some deals to produce 2 more before the movie released.
@@Very_Silly_Individual and maybe Markplier will be able to get in the movie as he was busy with another movie at the time
@@ValuableBlueberry most likely
I think the problem is that the Fnaf movie isn‘t actually horror but it’s thriller. Horror movies are based more on the spookiness rather than the story (which is why Main Characters are stupid). A thriller is based on the story rather than the spookiness and makes you more exiting. Fnaf is based on the story (the lore) first and than the jumpscares.
Yeah lots of the stuff was really goofy in the movie, not much horror. Great fan service movie though!
@@abumwiththedrip yeah I actually enjoyed it
E
there was barely any lore in the fucking movie, most of the horror parts sucked too.
@@mr_derpaderpy4107 there will be probably lore in the other 2 movies
What people don't get about the different opinions between critics and fans is that, they don't judge movies by the same standards. Critics see movies as art. Fans see it as entertainment. They're both valid, and that's why they get different scores. A movie can be entertaining while not being anything thought provoking or in any way special
Marvel Movies
So by that logic. Cuties is a masterpiece, and the fnaf movie is complete trash?
Interesting take
@@Very_Silly_Individual you realise RT isn't just 20 critics who watch every movie right? I reckon a lot of critics reasonably didn't watch cuties outright which means they can't critique it, leaving only the creeps to. Its the same reason why Matt Walsh's absolute garbage "documentary" is rated so highly, anyone who didn't want to be involved in what would just be a bigot being bigotted gave it a pass.
@@Very_Silly_IndividualAll you're doing right now is showing your ignorance. Cuties has a grand total of 83 reviews from critics on RT. Theres over 3000 critics on RT. 83 critics is irrelevant and doesnt represent 3000 other people. And yes fnaf is trash as a piece of art, BUT it works wonderfully as a fan service movie, which is perfectly fine. People really need to learn how critics work lmao
@@saratoga6663 I already knew you were making no sense. It's blindingly obvious that the critics are deranged bafoons and degenerates who hate children. You're just trying to give them more leeway than their worth.
But then i read "Matt Walsh's absolutely garbage documentary"
Now I'm interested. What exactly makes you dislike this documentary? The critics despise it (by critics, i mean the critic class. I dont mean the literal 8 critics who watched it on RT, which is a given. They literally made it an effort to silence and shun the documentary, so nobody could watch it. But audiences adored it. So what gives? A clearly enlightened mind such as yours should be able to give a decent reason other than "lmao, so bad."
Call me crazy, but I trust the masses over people who hate me.
@@saratoga6663 "Just a bigot being bigoted"
Is this projection? I don't understand. I watched his documentary, and at no point did he say anything hateful.
Or are you just... lying? Either or both are filly possible nowadays. Nuance seems to have left our vocabulary.
It was a good rewrite of the original story and it was very fun to watch in general! I think the real problem is that it was sold as a horror/slasher movie but it didnt tried to be scary at all (probably because of the younger audience). But it was a good movie anyway!

Imagine someday MatPat just suddenly makes a video breaking all the critics' negative points and doesn't elaborate further.
stop copy pasting your own comments
That would be very based of him
He actually sort of did with a Film Theory on the Mario Movie.
I doubt, the movie is like 5/10, if you're not a fnaf fan, you most likely won't enjoy it as much.
you finally made a good idea or comment
The Closer Look has a great explanation on how critics work and the flaws inherent in their scores. A casual critic who watches multiple movies a week (because it's their job) would only judge a movie based on what they know. The simplest example would be if a movie based on a game assumes the audience knows the intricate and complex relationship between 2 characters and doesn't waste time rehashing what fans already knows. A critic would see that and immediately come to the conclusion that the death of one of those characters felt lacking because no time was spent making us care about them. Also, even critics have preferences. As I said in the beginning, The Closer Look recommends rather than taking the average of all critics, you narrow it down until you follow a handful of critics who share your tastes. That way, when 3/5 of your favourite reviewers givea movie an 8/10 you can almost be certain you are going to enjoy it. I really recommend you go watch his video. It's the one that uses the Mario movie as a reference and in the thumbnail
the problem with that is that when you make a movie that requires you to do homework, that's not a good movie. The thing people need to remember is that while FNAF has a large fanbase, not all of that fanbase is chronically online enough to know all the lore, and that's not a bad thing. This movie was marketed as an adaptation. You shouldn't have to read the Silmarillion to understand Lord of the Rings. Having most of your audience completely confused because they didn't pour through years worth of lore and speculation is utterly insane and is gonna result in most people having a bad time with it.
I saw this movie with my girlfriend, I loved the games growing up and kept up with most of the lore up to about the fourth installment or so, then sort of grew out of it. She had more of a passing interest but on the newer side since she has younger siblings that played the newer installments and she would occasionally play with them. So we're both fans, but not diehard. She was left completely confused, the plot made no sense to her at all and she left really disappointed. I understood but hated how the movie was laid out. It holds the audience’s hand through all the obvious stuff (they tell and show you at least 6 times that the protagonist's brother got kidnapped when he was a kid) when they could've easily have used that wasted time showing the audience all the stuff they didn't bother to explain. I had to tell my girlfriend who the blonde kid was because they never actually show you. He just says "I'm not Freddy" and the audience is left to just figure it out.
I always follow this philosophy: if critics give it a bad rating and people give it a decent rating, it is worth seeing. If critic's rating is high and people's rating is low, it is definitely not worth seeing
If both are high you need to drop everything and watch it
So you're a contrarian then?
I don't know if I agree, the issue with audience rating with movies like these is that they're typically made up of superfans who are pretty much guaranteed to always enjoy whatever is made no matter the quality. But if you're not one of those, the audience rating means basically nothing.
If critic ratings are high in my view it usually means it's an _interesting_ movie, but obviously it's not guaranteed that a movie that's interesting and original will be something you like. In this sense critics and audiences work in a similar way, they rate for two different things that you may or may not like. Personally I'm not interested in fanbase-targeted movies (unless I'm in the fanbase of course, which is almost never the case) so I tend to be more interested in critic ratings.
@@MagcargoMan A contrarian would be looking at an extremely highly rated film like The Godfather, and feel the need to discredit it. This is just having no faith in critics.
@@IGSA101 I'm not talking to you. And yes, it is pretty contrarian if that is what makes him go and see movies.
Critics are like a hit or miss. Either they are actually reasonable or just plain disappointment

this one was a hit, shittiest film of 2023. went to the cinema and it was all just 12 year olds, they messed up the ending and overall the movie was boring and clearly made for little children
@@bornanagaming3329exactly cuties was clearly a good movie
@@cooltwittertagthey literally gave cuties an 86. i think everyone has to disagree on that score
Honestly it was a solid 7/10 movie, I don’t know why critics had such a stick up their ass.
its their job to have one up their ass, i dont see whats the big issue here.
It's Rotten tomatoes
They Up score Shitty movies (They Gave The Last Jedi 91/100) and Down Score actual Good movies
Genuinely, FNAF aside (I'm not an avid fan but had grown up with the franchise so it was still great to see Scott got his movie) I thought the movie was pretty decent at standing on its own two feet and not relying on FNAF lore. I went into the movie thinking it was gonna be bad because that's usually how video game adaptations go but I came out of the movie pretty surprised. Not to say it was a fantastic movie but it definitely wasn't bad at all, and when I see people like Cr1tikal giving it a (in my opinion) harsh 45% I just don't really understand what was so bad about it. I think 7/10 is a very suiting score.
Edit: after a couple days tbh I’m more leaning towards giving it a 6/10 if 5/10 means completely neutral feelings with not leaning in the negative or positive direction at all, but that being said I definitely don’t think the film is as bad as a lot of people say it is at all
You know why i rated it low? Because there was no 10 min of s£ggs scenes between markiplier and freddy fazballs❗❗😡😡❗❗😡👎👎👎😤😤😤
bro they build a f*cking fort?! I love fnaf but this shit was ass. I wanted to be scared. This was a kids movie.
As someone who waited 9 years for the movie, I'm at peace. It did just what it needed to without going overboard, gave plenty of fun inside jokes for the fans, and really made me happy when I could point at something and be like "Ooh! I get that!"
Overall a fun watch. Had me grinning like an idiot.
I really enjoyed watching this movie and it was awesome seeing some easter eggs in the film that referenced some of the other FNAF games, I thought it was cool that MatPat, Coryxkenshin and music by The Living Tombstone were included into the film and really gave it a nostalgic feeling; I really enjoy the FNAF game series and the movies story was handled well, I do see why they went with the PG13 rating and not R so that younger fans of the series would be able to watch and enjoy with friends or alone.
Regardless of what you think about the movie critically, the film is so fun and it’s crazy that FNAF got a movie.
Expecially a franchise that began as a one-man indie team.
Yeah it's so crazy that an indie obscure franchise like fnaf got a movie
@@zenituragaming5043 i know right?
Exactly. Most people like it not because its some revolutionary masterpiece, but because its a goddamn fnaf movie
Yeah well I think they could've done a way better job, you know, maybe making the horror movie ACTUALLY SCARY. At least there's a hope for the backrooms movie, let's hope they don't mess it up like this one.
When Matpat said: „it’s theory time“ and theorized all over Freddy my entire theatre erupted

Critics giving the FNAF movie a 25% rating, then giving Cuties an 87% speaks how Out of Touch they truly are
I find it funny when people complain about the lore not following the lore in the games. Let me introduce to you: the books.
As an adult who somewhat follows FNAF lore, the movie is pure fanservice, and as such if you don't at least somewhat follow the franchise it's simply not for you. The critics clearly don't follow the franchise.
To me, the movie was great, lots of references, cameos and there's probably hidden lore which is what FNAF lore enthusiasts love
I am shocked that it is apparently made for those that are in the know, like I was worried it would be mostly a generic horror movie with a FNAF "skin" which is what happened in the past with other franchises
This the same for the Mario movie
SPOILER.
as someone who kinda did know the lore, and didnt know it was pg 13, i thought the sister was actually gonna get put in circus baby
@@xleplayVAhe's the protagonist of fnaf 1, not michael afton, although they're theorized to be one and the same in the movies they probably aren't
@@monke7566 I can't help but wonder if some of the family trees have been switched a bit. Like maybe he's the son of the other founder instead in this version.
I was in an entire theater full of adults where every single seat was booked. Everybody loved it because everybody was a fan of the series. There are like 8 seats available in the theater i went to over the next 3 weeks so im glad its doing well.
Yes, the movie is not for everyone. If you like the series then you will like the movie and if you dont then you'll just be confused. It was made for the fans.😀
My friend who watched it with me only knew the most basic things about FNAF, but he enjoyed it as well. The movie has an overall 80s horror vibe that I think many people enjoy regradless.
Yeah, I don't understand this "I'm an adult, so I dont love it!" nonsense. It reeks of the "Adults dont watch Disney films" mentality. We need to trash this stupid "Adults can only like guts, sex and violence in their movies" garbage. If you dont like it, you dont like it. It's not because "It's a kid's movie".
@@GummyDinosaursifytrue
It was mid tho
@@povcvv not really
Just watched it, as a FNaF fan I must say that it did everything I wanted it to do, it was a surprisingly good adaptation of the story of the games and I think everything was executed perfectly, I liked it so much that I immediately sneaked into the next session to watch it again and even in the second watch without all the hype I loved it.
0:53 there’s a few other RUclipsr cameos as well, and markiplier was supposed to play the guy who died at the start of the movie. We. Were. SO. CLOSE.
Simple really; the movie is primarily for the fans, most critics aren't fans of the series, therefore said critics are left in the dark and don't "get" what's going on
other childrens movies are enjoyable for adults, this one isnt. Its that simple
That actually makes sense really. Explains why movies like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire got high rating from critics and is generally disliked by fans.
no? it's just the kids and neckbeards are tryna defend the movie and glorifying it when it's in reality just hollywood slop
cuties was high rated by critics so they are fans of little girls💀
@@cooltwittertag Yeah that's why it got 89% huh?
as a veteran fnaf fan, and horror lover, i liked the movie. there were many flaws, but that comes with fnaf itself, and i went in with the right expectations. i think a lot of reviewers went in expecting this to be a gorefest (ignoring the pg-13 rating) and not to be more story-focused. i particularly enjoyed one scene halfway through due to how it made the kids feel like actual kids and not just a scary statistic like they were in the games.
For a "story focused" movie, it sucked. The story was too cheesy and predictable. Also this is coming from someone who stuck around Fnaf until security breach, a game witch traded out all horror for attracting children and money, the same target demographic for this movie.
@Syco600 Well, the story is based on the lore of fnaf. What'd you expect?
@@gaminggod1495 A competently written story.
How are you supposed to create new fans through this film if they have no idea what the rules are?

@@ablackdove3169the written story of fnaf is good? Lmaoo
The first mistake was anyone thinking anything about FNAF was ever good
As someone who never played any games, I’d give it a solid 3/4. Some plot conveniences but the casting for Mike (Peeta) is really good and the story is pretty creepy, to me it was a fun Halloween movie, and I liked how it wasn’t gross out horror or full of jump scares, more focused on being creepy.

As a fnaf fan since it’s original release I can say that the movie was mostly aimed for us with a lot of small details that otherwise wouldn’t be appreciated. Half of my friends who didn’t know much about the games and lore were kinda confused on what was going on while the other half was excited about some “random” things
Children. Adult children. That's who both things are made for.

@@CasualCat64So not a fnaf fan, got it

@@CasualCat64your not a fnaf fan im guessing.
@@dededank7652 oh no! How could I call your precious children’s movie about robots average!
the point of two scores is that you can know wether you'll enjoy the movie or not better, the critics aren't all-mighty judges of quality, their point is to offer a perspective that isn't the audience score
I think it's more like, if you're a fan of FNAF, look at the right rating, ir you have never touched FNAF, left rating.
These kids never understand this
It reminds me of that one netflix adaptation of a japanese ex escort that sells food.
she wonders about life and all and it lasts for 2 hours. the critics said it was ass, but honestly? it totally made you feel empty, with her thoughts, or by showing other characterd problems. (which weren't developped, but you don't need them to be, their family life is taking a bigger part of their lives than you might think.)
So basically, we can say "even if you're not a fan you should be able to enjoy it" but every movie is directed at a certain audience. My sister loves nun types movies because there's jumpscares, and those movies are directed at your average person who probably only watched those movies. If someone who's used to movies like heridetary, they'll think it's bad because they prefer existential dread, something that makes you feel awful, and that you wont think on watching again because it touches you to the core. Every movie has a certain audience. If i remember beau is afraid was disliked, but loved by people who could relate.
Some passagesway will be useless and misunderstood by some, and others will follow them gladly.
Exactly, there is nothing wrong in different approaches but be real, critics won't appreciate mario movie or fnaf as much because they are just not that good in terms of art. They are great as entertainment and progress of franchise so obviously they can be fine for people who like franchise
I know fnaf since my childhood and was hyped for the movie, just knowing that matpat was in it was enough hype for me. I feel like if I expected a horror movie I'd be dissapointed, some of the jumpscares got me and it was sorta intense ig but idk, however I feel like I don't get scared much of movies anyway and maybe am a bit immune cause of the franchice.
But I didn't expect a Horrir Movie but instead a sorta scary story based movie thingy and personally enjoyed it a lol. A friend who isn't big into fnaf seemed to like it aswell. Definitely didn't dissapoint me and all these little details and so where so cool to see. Recognizing matpat in the movie was so cool
Right but the problem is that it wasn't actually loved by the general audience was it. 5.5/10 on IMDB, 2.6/5 on Letterboxd......
This is why I trust the audience score more. And critics gave the Super Mario Movie a low score too, so this isn't surprising. It was made for the game's primary audience and it succeeded in pleasing them. And there's a lot of great stuff in here. The Animatronics are really well made, Matthew Lillard is amazing, and it's clear they did string the lore together as best they could.
Agreed
Well said.
Considering the massive amounts of not only confirmed but unexplored lore, that's impressive
“It was made for the fans” is not a good excuse
I think a movie can be pleasing to fans and also good in it's own right to general audiences, look at across the spiderverse as an example
I saw it in theaters last night, it was a really good vibe despite being chaotic, from my angle it looked like a bunch of young adults (late middle school to highschool age) who were at an event where they weren't the "odd one out". People were making friends in the concession line. It was fun
I can vouch for this. My friends and I are “the weird kids” but at the movie everybody was the weird kids and it was really nice to just kinda be with people like us
My cinema was pretty much entirely of teenagers (12-17 year olds). Glad it shows me I'm not alone in this world who had a childhood like that
I watched the movie yesterday and it was good... I'm not super into the lore, but I love the games... I brought my mom, who'd never even seen the games, and she left the theater having enjoyed the film.. The movie surprisingly didn't have very many jumpscares, which I thought was going to be the movie's biggest hook (because obviously)
ive waited an extrmely long time for this movie as other fans have to or just getting into it this is exaclty what we wanted and executed how we wanted it to go it did not dissapoint at all and hopefully they get enough funding for the other two movies i would not like the others to be rushed but now we have a studio that did it right and scott made sure it was right i am comfortable that the series will have its booked closed very nicely and more fan games to come as always im really happy fnaf has brought alot of people together and made such an impact on new and old fans overall it did splendid and i would go see it again dont be afraid of critic score or other peoples opinions just go see it and see how you like it thats for you to find out
I tell you, the entire theater roared into cheers, clapping standing up in applause and throwing popcorn when the movie ended. I have never seen that happen before at the movie, and it was just magical to see all that joy in so many people, it was the most packed I've ever seen a theater!
Get those people to watch an actually good movie and their brains will explode

A while back it was revealed that most "critics" are often paid off by movie competitors or funders.
When it was revealed literally nobody i knew was surprised. Most told me they rarely look at critic scores anymore, and instead read reviews from audience nobody's since its more reliable and honest,

Critics look at cinematography, techniques used, the quality of the acting, how the sfx and sets look, characters, and plot. They've also seen a lot of films, often times dozens every year if not into the hundreds. They judge films on technical merit, rather than just the more surface level things the audience is looking for. Additionally with a film critic, something like 5/10 isn't awful though this depends on the critic.
Also for those bringing up "Cuties" almost no critics reviewed it, most refused to. So the only a handful of critics were responsible for that movie having a high score.
I bring up Mulan (2020) because that one was rated by damn near everyone and that movie didn't deserve a rating past 1/10. It completely destroys the point of Mulan and also it throws a whole bunch of other controversy like the filming location. The first wasn't entirely accurate to history or the culture, but it had charisma and tried it's best, plus it actually HAD Mushu, the best fucking part of the movie. 2020 Mulan takes itself way too seriously and Mulan is a fucking superhuman who's a Mary Sue, i.e, the exact opposite of the original Mulan's character. The worst part was the fact that they also had Eugenics undertones since every woman that wasn't born from a specific family were nothing but baby makers. Also Ghostbusters (2016), genderbending and hamfisting a diverse cast =/= good movie.
@@bootlegspinjutsu9966 Mulan 2020 wasn't adapting the cartoon. It was adapting the folk tale the cartoon was based on. It's essentially an unrelated movie about the same character. Also Mary Sue is a meaningless criticism
The way the critics' score is calculated should be reworked. If some many critics refuse to watch it then that score should reflect it in some way.
@@AmericanbadashhNormally I would say Mary Sue is a really stupid word (especially when describing Rey), but in Mulan 2020's case, it actually makes sense because Mulan literally has super powers and doesn't have to work for anything.
I saw a critic review that said that FNAF had too much plot which is a very odd criticism
I've never watched the movie and probably won't, but it's just worth pointing out that the viewers, who have played the games and watched the videos are gonna be a lot more attached to the movie than a movie critic
The simple fact that a critic doesn't know how to factor that into their review goes to show how much of a shit critic they are
Captain obvious over here stroking his dick
Thats a doubled edged sword though because fans of the original media are normally the ones who are the most critical of the adaptation.
Also maybe just me but it seems like critics have a thing against video game films
Why are you not gonna watch it? It’s on peacock and theaters
Just makes me wish scott would work with the fan base to make a flim or atleast VHS fnaf fan base because some of those are so disturbing youtube had to remove some of them The Fnaf concept can be generally terrifying in the right hands like battington or scrimpas mcgrimpas it felt like a summer camp at Freddy gone wrong
FNAF movie is absolutely a type of movie to watch when you are high.
I'm 20 and I loved it. It's the same problem as the Mario movie, where these critics didn't come in expecting a Mario movie, they came in expecting a groundbreaking movie Spiderverse style.
Here, they didn't come expecting for a FNAF movie, they expected a horror movie. For both of these movies, I expected a Mario and FNAF movie. That's what I got, and I loved them.
The fact that they added a Matpat cameo in this shows that this movie speaks to the community.
And honestly, I'm not a very invested fan. I don't know all of the lore, and I didn't read the books. I basically only have the basics of the animatronics, the dead children, William Afton... and I understood the movie perfectly.
They even brought Vanessa from Security Breach, and actually did something closer to what Vanessa was originally supposed to be in the games. You know, being a lot nicer and everything. And I liked that they did this.
the mario movie was all style and no substance it was fun and all but nothing that will stick with you... it could have been much better
@@aviv1002 It has flaws, but as a Mario fan, it was incredible to see.

@@Oceane1803Exactly, considering that the main series of Mario games (Including FNAF too), the story is very simple and the fact that they managed to make an entire film about it with little to what they have is very impressive.

@@107zxz3 I was expecting nothing in particular, I just realized it existed, watched it, and loved it.
Apparently they wanted to add him but had to remove it. But it seems they still want to include him so maybe in the sequel. Maybe said sequel will give us more info on *THE BITE OF '87*
Just watched it yesterday and i'll be honest they did a great job catering to the fans by mixing all elements of the franchise into one story and using that to support their fans. After years of waiting it was perfect 😂
It would be interesting to see how this movie ages over the years. I imagine a newer generation that isn't as invested into the franchise would rip it apart.
all my friends that grew up with fnaf expected a horror movie, but it didn't turn out to be. it had sooooo much potential for one of the best horror movies out there, and i believe scott knows just how much power his insanely iconic characters have, its literally on the brains of everyone. so the fact that it turned out to be a generic movie with fnaf in it was kinda underwhelming. it has light humor, simple writing, it's literally a kids movie with fnaf on it. i can't say it's bad, because it isn't. it was an awesome experience to dress as an animatronic bunny and see it on the theater, definitely worth it. but the movie itself, even if not bad, is underwhelming, because of just how much potential it had. literally cannot think of a more influential worldwide spread franchise that could have a movie as nostalgic and deep and scary and hit home as much as the one fnaf could have.
tl;dr: it was just fine. that's the problem.
Honestly, high audience scores next to low critic scores is almost like a badge of honor for media now
I mean idk, there are plenty of examples of modern movies that contradict what you said
Not really. Both audiance and critic scores are meaningless nowadays. They used to mean something.
The latter most likely means it's absolute shit like Cuties or Mulan (2020). I will never forgive Rotten Tomatoes for giving that shit ass film a higher rating than a 20%
@@bootlegspinjutsu9966 You can't forgive them for Velma either
Except that the audience score is only high on that website and nowhere else. The IMDb rating for this film is 5.7/10.
the story would feel obscure to any audience unaware of the lore/franchise but it wasn't bad at all thanks to Blumhouse delivering good tension and curiosity. it was an enjoyable film overall and cant wait too see the next chapter of the installment.

Can you cover the memes where people in movies say “that just happened” and other one liners like that
I saw the movie myself, and I can vouch with the audiences. For fans, such as myself, it was a great movie to watch. I can see why critics may not be into it, you might need to be invested more in the FNAF lore to get it, though, and I am not making this up, my brothers GF saw the film and she liked it despite her not knowing too much about FNAF and it's lore, though I could be wrong there. It's possible critics here are not the target demographic but that's okay. What matters for fans is if they are going to enjoy it, and many, myself included, enjoyed it.
Any positive criticism coming from a fan of the franchise automatically loses credibility, completely

The FNAF reviews feels like the _Super Mario Bros. Movie_ situation all over again where the audience praised the film's performance while critics turn it down.
The "video game movie adaptation curse" is already broken, yet critics can be really hard to please sometimes.
How is it broken? This and the Mario movie are just fanservice the sonic movies are just OK and by OK I mean the batman forever of video game movies it's broken when video games have a movie on the level of Spiderman 2 or the dark knight
Mario is mid to be honest

The Mario movie critic score is pretty on point imo.
60% is not that bad
@@zenituragaming5043 Nah. I think the curse is finally broken when the people behind films such as _Detective Pikachu,_ _Sonic the Hedgehog,_ and the _Super Mario Bros. Movie_ are passionate towards the original source material and understand the story/premise instead of disrespecting it.
It’s pretty happened the same way with Illumination’s Mario movie or the first Paramount Sonic movie. Reviewers check movies as movie first, no matter what they adapt. Games, books, comics, anything that can be translated but can end up struggling to balance with both fans and general public.

I'm telling you, the critics hate fun, Mario got this same treatment because it was focused on being simple and fun, instead of some deep, gritty story, same thing happened with FNaF
Critics don’t hate fun. Paddington 2 and Bottoms are extremely fun and also critically acclaimed. If you found fun in something critics didn’t, that doesn’t mean they hate fun and only love “deep, gritty stories”. They just didn’t find enjoyment or a good time in something. It’s not that deep and they aren’t a monolith
@@xanderfunk492I am going to represent the op here and say that op probably meant hates fanservices. By definition critics are meant to be impartial and be the voice of the mass, not represent just a single group. Fanservices are an antithesis to that impartiality.
Actually, they just like soft core child p*rn. That's why they rated cuties 87%
They probably saw the Christian messaging where Mike said his family would do grace every dinner. And they immediately scoffed.
Critics do hate fun. Try to find Fast and Furious movies being rated high and sweeping all the prizes in every category.
Critics probably expecting sex scene like in most of the shit movies they watched
The reason Critics hate it is because it's not for them. It's for people who have been following the franchise for a while and have a relatively decent understanding of the lore. Critics went into this movie expecting your typical slasher or monster horror movie, but FNAF fans went in and (for the most part) got exactly what they paid for
Movies need to be able to stand on their own merit. This one clearly doesn't.

i was watching the movie with my cousin using discord and we both went crazy when we saw matpat
"Made for the chronically online-" lmao
If there's one thing I learned from the release of the Super Mario movie, it's that critics and audiences tend to look for very different things in a movie. Critics seem to want deep and complex stories and characters, while audiences are often content with a fun time. That's not to say either side is objectively right or wrong, simply that they have different definitions for what makes a movie "good."
I don't even think critics want deep complex stories most of the time since there have been many simple movies that have gotten good reception, (captain underpants, peanuts movie, the bad guys). I think they mainly look at the execution of the movie more than how deep it is.
Audiences are content with a fun time, while critics seem to want either deep stories or softcore CP.
The film wasn't perfect, but it was clearly made with love at every turn.

critics are rarely the target audience theyre like old people who preferred luxury in theaters, and when i watched the movie everyone seemed to like it and there was like 4x the amount of people that there usually are
Critics have a very different perspective on movies. It is not inherrently worse but in the end just another opinion. And getting mad over opinions is a waste of time.
Also, the critic score of RT works a bit differently. A critic score of 25% does not mean that the average rating of the critics is 25%(unlike audience score) but that 25% of the critics had a review that was more positive than negative. These reviews could all been for example in the intervall of 40%-60% and still come to a critic score of 25% because it does not show the average score.
他開始射得滿地都是, 讓一切都變白了😂😂😂😂
I wouldn’t say it’s getting mad, more like pointing out how disconnected critics are from average viewers. You can’t help but notice when the ratings are over 60 percents apart.
This is the best take. I'm tired of seeing this conversation happen every single week. If you enjoyed the movie or not should be the only thing that matters. Movie disculuce would be so much healthier if people stopped being so upset about a number on a website that don't even properly understand.

The error here is expecting critics to adjust their review on other people.
