Blog: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 directed by Danishka Esterhazy. A musical, light-hearted retelling of FNAF, the plot follows the family having the birthday party at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Turning the video game targeting towards teens and adults into a kids film is a very horrible idea to begin with. It is also a huge insult on the FNAF franchise.
 * 2) Freddy and his friends were not animatronics, unlike the games, but instead humans in costumes, and they barely resemble their video game counterparts.
 * 3) Freddy, Bonnie and Chica were flanderized to the silly slapsticking animals that attempted to save the family, and even attempted to kill Foxy for killing the harm.
 * 4) The reason why Freddy, Bonnie and Chica went on a saving spree meaning that the show is on.
 * 5) Despite having a washed-out 1980s look, the film is set in the present day and features the analog HDTVs and cellphones making it very pointless.
 * 6) This also implies that a show from 1987 is still being taped in 2019.
 * 7) Despite the effects being passable for the most part, the fire sticks out like a sore thumb.
 * 8) Slow pacing, with most of the film focusing on the trip to the pizza arcade and exposition about humans in costumes.
 * 9) Terrible writing that never stays true to the show and it feels more like a kid friendly Banana Splits film adaptation, mainly due to the plot.
 * 10) Most of the male characters are portrayed as either cheaters or just unlikable twits with no likability or good in them at all, which is anything more than blatantly sexist.
 * 11) False Advertising: On the poster and the cover, Bonnie was seen holding a sword and Chica has her fingernails painted, and they didn't use it in the actual film. The tagline in the cover says "The Bite of 87", and the film was set in present day.
 * 12) The ending feels like sequel-bait material because Poppy and Mangle is seen driving away with Freddy and Friends, with a dead Foxy in the back.
 * 13) The movie barely knows if it wants to be a wacky comedy flick or a musical comedy.
 * 14) Freddy and his friends in this movie are costumes, and yet, not portrayed by actual humans.
 * 15) Freddy and his friends themselves are very consistent in movement. Sometimes they move like an athletic person, other times they move like an elder person.
 * 16) It feels like Warner Bros. tried to make a movie like Mario by turning an adults game into a light-hearted movie, but it lacks the charm Super Mario had.
 * 17) It wasn't obviously only made to capitalize off of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour.
 * 18) The dialogue is usually hilariously good, especially the quote "Yeah but it's old and stupid, and I wanna do something cool and edgy."
 * 19) Countless plot-holes, inconsistencies, and logic fails:
 * 20) During a taping, Bonnie saves Andy, and then seconds later Bonnie is seen on stage in the same period of time. Was Bonnie supposed to be in the taping at that moment?
 * 21) The door to Andy's room closes and locks by itself somehow.
 * 22) Before Mitch got into the building, he gave his cellphone to Paige. But then when he gets out, he pulls out her phone. It is never explained how he pulled it out of nowhere (Paige wasn't seen giving it back either).
 * 23) Chica could strongly pull Andy's pants and gives Stevie a lollipop. (adulthood ruined enough yet?), and he is seen hard with choking Beth.
 * 24) How are Freddy and his friends able to say almost anything? It is explained how they are able to say all these things not said during the taping. It also would make sense if they hired a voice actor for Freddy and his friends. If they did, then how wouldn't they mimic their voice flawed while saying things that the voice actor did not record?
 * 25) As if things were not silly enough, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy literally "Chi-Ka", "Buh-Za" and "Wuh-Pa" in this movie, which was a Teamo Supremo reference. Speaking of which, the aforementioned Disney show comes out in 2002.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The opening looks serious and feels like the original games.
 * 2) As mentioned before, the special effects and magic are decent, with the exception of the fire.
 * 3) The cover of the "FNAF Song" 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 she threats Bonnie into killing the family; Unfortunately, he dies. **The only bad quality about Foxy is that he attempt to run Mitch over with a car.
 * 5) Harley and Austin are also likable.
 * 6) Beth is badass... in that he joins the humans in costumes in order to save his family... and wins.
 * 7) Eric Bauza and Candi Milo, the voice actors for Freddy and friends, does a nice job replicating the original voices.
 * 8) One of the lines for the movie "Silly Stevie. Smoking's bad for your health." is funny.
 * 9) Some people may like this movie.
 * 10) It is an admittedly pretty funny movie and can be enjoyed by people who like bad movies, much like Sharknado.
