The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie (the opposite Banana Splits Movie)

The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie is a 2019 American musical comedy film written by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, based on Five Nights at Freddy's. The film stars Dani Kind, Steve Lund, Finlay Wotjak-Hissong, Romeo Carere, Sara Canning and the voices of Eric Bauza and Candi Milo.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Turning a video game targeted towards adults into an G-rated comedy movie is a very abysmal idea in the first place, and it angered many fans of Five Nights at Freddy's. It is also a huge insult to both the original series and the fandom.
 * 2) * On the same point, this movie feels more like an extended bad taste parody rather than an official movie.
 * 3) Abysmal grasp of the source material:
 * 4) * Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy are not animatronics unlike in the original series, but are instead humans in costumes, which was pointless.
 * 5) Freddy and his friends themselves (apart from Foxy) are horribly flanderized to being outright silly slapsticking animals who attempt to love the family, and even attempt to kill Foxy for trying to protect them from harm.
 * 6) Despite having a washed-out 1980s look, the film is set in the present day and features HD TV sets and cellphones, making it very pointless because this disregards past events.
 * 7) * This also implies that a show from the late 1987 is still being taped in 2019.
 * 8) Despite the effects being passable for the most part, the fire sticks out like a sore thumb.
 * 9) Slow pacing, with half of the film focusing on the trip to the pizza arcade and exposition about the good costumes.
 * 10) Abysmal writing that doesn't stay true to the games, and instead feels more like a fan-made G-rated Banana Splits Adventure Hour film adaptation, mainly due to the plot.
 * 11) False Advertising on the Poster: Bonnie wears a tuxedo and Chica had her toenails painting red, but they never use it at all. Additionally, the Tagline is "The Bite of 1987," but the film was set in present day, as I already said.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The opening looks cool and feels like the original game.
 * 2) As mentioned before, the special effects and magic are decent, with the exception of the fire.
 * 3) The cover of the "Circus" by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stumph is just as catchy as the original version.
 * 4) Foxy is one of the only good characters in this film, as he forces Freddy to kill the family; unfortunately, he dies while saving them. The only bad quality about Foxy is that he attempted to run Mitch over with the Pizza Planet Truck.
 * 5) * The two children protagonists are also likable.
 * 6) * The mother is like a bear... in that she fights the costumes in order to protect her family... and wins.
 * 7) Eric Bauza and Candi Milo, the voice actors for Freddy and his friends, did awesome jobs replicating the original voices.
