Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) is a wonderful watch.
THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE!
I tried to keep my hopes for this movie extremely neutral, as someone who can be biased. I've loved this franchise since I was younger and still do. And my thoughts?
This movie was extremely fun to watch, and while it had some issues and nitpicks, frankly any five nights at freddy's fan fan should watch it.
My first impressions is that the script could have been stronger, the writing itself was a strong 6/10 while everything else was an easy 10/10.
Sometimes it does feel like the rest of the movie is dragging along the script but this is only in certain scenes. This movie could definitely be confusing for anyone not familiar with the series, and I think that is its biggest weakness. People who aren't fans of the franchise most likely wouldn't like it as much, and I feel the script didn't take them into account.
But everything else about this movie is top notch, and I think a special shoutout should be given to the practical effects and acting. All of the roles in this movie were perfectly cast, and I have no notes. The practical effects and animatronics were extremely impressive,
This movie does get surprisingly gory for a PG-13 film, there is a decent amount of blood and I would not be taking younger kids to see this. But the horror in this movie tends to lean on the fun side, it's a joy to watch.
Overall an 8.5/10, it has issues and i wish the script was a bit polished. It's not a thought provoking movie, it's the Five Nights at Freddy's movie.

Amazing visuals but underwhelming plot
I had a chance to see this movie in theaters when it first came out, I've since had a lot of time to think about it. The first few minutes really leave you in awe, and have you at the edge of your seat, the story is set up very well. Things like the cinematography are very impressive, and the casting is also quite decent. About half an hour in, the story gets convoluted, you're more confused than really interested in the story. Character names are easy to forget, plot points from the beginning are completely useless by the second half. Individual scenes work great without context, but put all together it's an incoherent mess. The movie also felt the need to shove in a pointless hetero romance that had no real impact on the story so I don't see the point of that. I like parts of this movie a lot, and I can see how much passion and hard work was put into it, but actually watching it is a bore.
Visually stunning medieval movie with a frustrating and boring story.
