Five Nights at Freddy's premiered in theaters today, and thousands of people have already seen it. Reactions have not been delayed, and the initial ones are somewhat divisive, but in a way, this could be positive for longtime fans.
Showings of Five Nights at Freddy's are already available in theaters in many parts of the world, and more will gradually join. It's normal for many fans to wonder how the movie is, and thanks to critics and fans who were able to attend early screenings, we can find out.
The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie: What the First Reactions Say
In-depth reviews are not yet available, as the embargo will be lifted shortly, but the initial reactions reveal that the movie is dividing opinions.
On one hand, there are viewers who mentioned that Five Nights at Freddy's did not entirely please them.
While many critics agreed with the use of practical effects with the animatronics, some highlighted that the movie feels "tasteless, boring, and not scary," and one of the problems is the story, as it fails to create a terrifying atmosphere.
User Jenny Jane rated the movie as "bad," as well as "weird and impenetrable," and mentioned that there were jokes that resonated with young people in the audience, but not with her: "I can say I've never felt so old."
User theofisher82 referred to the film as "uneven" and barely able to sustain its story in the end.
Is the Five Nights at Freddy's movie bad?
The type of reactions mentioned above mainly came from film critics or viewers who are not fans or do not know anything about Five Nights at Freddy's.
If this surprises you, you shouldn't worry, as it often happens with productions of this kind. For example, something similar occurred with the Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was not well-received by specialized critics, but loved by fans.
We say this because, on the other hand, there are viewers who are also fans of the movie, who, as we mentioned, caught the jokes that those unfamiliar with the franchise did not and expressed satisfaction with the final result.
User TomMCJL praised the performances of everyone involved and mentioned that the movie is entertaining. NitroSpidey, on the other hand, gave the film an 8 out of 10 and warned that it may not be for everyone, but he enjoyed it.
Let's remember that the creators of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie made it primarily with longtime fans in mind and that if someone else watched it, that was a good thing, but they wouldn't seek to please them over the fans.
In any case, Five Nights at Freddy's has already recouped its production costs, and projections indicate that the film will generate a significant amount more, potentially ensuring sequels.
