Stick with me here: I know next to nothing about FNAF, so this is purely going off what I know.

It was alright. I wasn't much of a FNAF fan, I always thought it was overrated. That being said, animatronics had a lot of character to them, which I appreciated. They all had their own personalities and actions and in turn, that made them more distinctive than the animatronics in WW.

The negatives were Mike. He isn't awful but he was sort of bland. I'm not sure if it's because he is the silent protagonist in the first game so if you like more of a blank slate character, then he fits. Vanessa deserved to be stabbed for her actions to protect her serial killer father (Matthew Lillard). Lillard as Afton was brilliant and I'm happy he was finally getting another killer role, considering he last did it in Scream from 1996.

FNAF did have its high points but it didn't do much overall for me. Honestly... Willy's Wonderland did "killer animatronics" better.

Just saw Five Nights at Freddy's. That.... was a hot mess. Let's talk about positives first. The Jim Henson Shop out did themselves bringing Freddy and friends to life. They did primarily practical effects and it shows, the animatronics being the best part of the film. Another positive is the music, which was outstanding!

Unfortunately, that's where my positives stop. This film has two major problems. First, it's PG13. This movie would have benefitted greatly from an R rating, it was tamer than the games. Second, the film can't decide if it is for fans or newcomers. The actual FNAF storyline is largely secondary to the plot of the lead character trying to discover who kidnapped his brother as a child. It's annoying, because when it's not being FNAF, it's just boring. (Also maybe it's the direction given, but the leads were pretty bland). They try to do a mystery thing with the FNAF storyline that doesn't work if you know the games. Matthew Lillard was perfectly cast, but woefully underused (He's in maybe 15min of the movie). Overall, I have to give FNAF the movie a C-. If you want a good version of Five Nights in film, stick with Willy's Wonderland, it's much better.
