The overall movie from the perspective of a long term fan (since I was 7 in 2014) met most of my expectations. I couldn't sit still in my seat the entire time and truly enjoyed the experience. Of course I'm not saying this movie is perfect for it could be improved a lot. The overall plot and organization of the movie is messy and a tad sloppy that it would confuse new fans and people who have no background knowledge of the lore, however from the viewpoint of a theorist and hardcore fan, this wasn't an issue. Like I said, the movie could use improvements. THAT ASIDE I LOVED IT SO MUCH AND I CANT SHUT UP ABOUT IT 😭😭😭 The reason I wanted to write this review was to explain a bit to what the 4 star and less reviews are lacking in terms of the movie. The thing about these reviews is that they highlight details like how there isn't much gore, how it is inaccurate to the lore, the springlock scene isn't the same as the games, Vanessa's father is William Afton, and Mike. I would like to clear up these claims for anyone who is planning on watching the movie and is doubting it based off these reviews. First off I'd like to say is that a lot of these bad reviews come from people who know nothing or little about the lore, or if anything not enough. True, the movie could contain more gore, however keep in mind Scott is trying to make the movie available to the majority of the fans, who are now in their mid-late teens or young adults. Making it more than it is would make it rated R. Here in my country the movie is rated 15. Like I said, gore and scare factor could have been increased a bit more while still keeping it away from Rated R. Now the part people are confused about, the lore. All I can say is that the movie seems to be referencing the books more than the games (with some reference to the games of course). Such as the animatronic who looks like Ella from -1:35 am-, the springlock scene from -The Silver Eyes- (pg. 187 in the graphic novel), the arcade scene with foxy also from -The Silver Eyes- (pg. 175-176 graphic novel), the use of electricity to short circuit the animatronics (pg. 172 graphic novel -The Silver Eyes-), same looking security monitors as shown in -The Silver Eyes- graphic novel again pg. 126, and lastly the scene where the animatronics dance weirdly pg. 86. Last part since I cant go into much detail, Mike Schmidt and Michael Afton are not yet confirmed to be the same person. Although I do believe they might be, I was also in quite shock hearing that Vanessa is the daughter of William, like what???? This is Scott we're talking about, of course he'd pull something like this on us and its our job to figure out what the true lore is. People saying that its impossible since Vanessa comes from security breach way later on in the future have a point, but then again are we really confident about the timeline at this point... In conclusion, great movie for a fan who knows what's going on, wouldn't really recommend to people who don't have at least basic knowledge of the lore, otherwise they'd end the movie in confusion but if anything watch it either way. The bad reviews shouldn't ruin a true FNAF fan's experience, worth the wait but obviously it could've been wayyyyy better and had so much potential. Looking forward to the next one.
