Oof. Another turd video game movie.

Imagine working on a script for 9 years and the final product is boring and forgettable. A waste of a decade.

reply

It’s laughable isn’t it? They scrapped a completed script back in 2020 as the FNAF franchise creator Scott Cawthon had a different idea for the story. This is what we ended up with.

No wonder Chris Columbus dropped out of directing, he knew this was gonna be a turkey.

Guy made millions from this. So did Blumhouse. Define “waste.”

And the hell did you do the last nine years?

I love these kinds of comments from butthurt fans. Deal with it, someone had an opinion that was different than yours. Some directors have made 3-4 excellent films in the span of 9 years.

Only reason metascore is that high is reviews by PasteMag 71 and SlashFilm 70!

DARE I point out (again) ....woman director?


"OOOH YOU pig, incel, mysoginyst, WOMAN HATER!!!"

Hey, if I were to put up my millions investing, I go with the successful directors. It's only about the money.

reply

They can just pretend that everyone LOVES it and its a huge hit, like they did when Suicide Squad came out. Jared Leto's Joker was ridiculed, the film itself got absolutely scathing reviews, and the movie bombed hard. The Snyderites simply pretended the OPPOSITE happened. Don't estimate the power of self-delusion in the movie industry.

reply

Suicide Squad didn’t bomb unfortunately, in fact it’s the tenth highest grossing film of 2016.

It is a good comparison though, I remember the Snyder fans deluding themselves that the film (and Batman vs Superman the same year) was a masterpiece and that Rotten Tomatoes were being paid by Disney to give positive reviews for Captain America: Civil War.

I suppose with this Five Nights film the fans have waited 8 years since a film adaptation was announced of the game and I think a lot of them are deluding themselves that it’s been worth the wait despite the fact that this movie is about as scary as Jared Leto’s Joker.

This movie cost $20 million to make (which Blumhouse earned back before it even hit theaters on distribution and streaming rights) and it earned over $136 million in theaters even though it’s also on Peacock.

No matter how you spin it, that’s a big fucking hit.

reply

Critic reviews? Nobody gives a shit about their opinions.

Gross isn't an indicator of quality

Marveltards would disagree with you.
