Five Nights at Freddy's 2

I had the privilege of watching FNAF 2 before the premiere, and I can say that it's very similar to the first one, with only a few improvements. It offers good fan service and more jumpscares. I think it's a fun movie to watch with family and especially enjoyable for fans of the franchise. However, it does feel a bit rushed, with one or two events that don't make much sense and just happen without proper explanation.

In short, it's a good movie, and I genuinely enjoyed watching it. It's better than the first one, but it still could have improved in some aspects. That's why I give it a solid 7/10.

From a critical standpoint, I understand why non-FNAF fans would dislike this film, but as someone who is a major FNAF fan, this was an absolutely incredible experience. Especially when in a theater full of fans like yourself. I absolutely loved this film, and it was everything I was hoping for the first film to be. First off, yes, this movie is a significant upgrade from the first. Well, at least for a FNAF fan. I actually do see why some critics would give this a lower rating than the first. Technically, nothing too important really happens in this film. There is more lore added, but it wasn't anything too necessary. By the end of the film, it kinda just feels like the main purpose of the film was to set up the third film where the important stuff should truly begin. So yeah, I definitely do see where that low score is coming from. After watching this, I instantly realized that the only way you could possibly feel like you aren't wasting your time watching this is if you're a FNAF fan. There are so many Easter eggs and references here. It's an absolutely incredible movie for a fan, but if you aren't a fan, you'll likely be bored during all those scenes, and there are a lot of those scenes. If you're not a FNAF fan and you disliked the first film, then I don't recommend watching this one. But if enjoyed the first film and if you're a FNAF fan, then you're in for an absolute treat! One more thing, stay for the end credit scenes. The first end credit scene might just be the best scene of the movie!

Had the privilege of watching Five Nights at Freddy's early and the movie did not disappoint. Fans of the game will love all the references and plot points that they go over in this movie! All of the animatronics done by Jim Hensons Creature Shop look amazing! The voice acting is well done and the cameos make it feel even more of a passion project directed for the fans. If you're not a fan of freddy's, it's still a great horror movie that isn't too complicated to understand, and really easy to enjoy. I won't get into any spoilers, because most people won't be able to see it yet, but the marionette looks amazing! I am so glad they made a second movie, and i'm looking forward to the third!

I expected this film to be very different. I was expecting a sequel, but instead I found myself faced with a film that says little and concludes nothing. It's not a bad film, but let's just say they managed the timing poorly, leaving you with an indescribable sadness at the end. The soundtrack is almost the same as the first but still very beautiful, the animatronics are fantastic, and the characters don't act haphazardly. All in all, it's not a bad film, but it could have been much better.

Five Nights At Freddy's 2 might just be the most disappointing movie of 2025. To start off positive I thought that the acting was great for the most part with the exception of some questionable voice acting. The animatronic characters also look amazing, it's genuinely great and the only good part of this mess of a movie. The new animatronic villain that was introduced led to some creepy moments which I appreciate since the first movie wasn't much of a horror film.

Even though this sequel was bigger scale and filled with a lot more characters it is really bad. New and interesting characters from the video games show up in this movie and they are completely underutilized. There were also returning characters from the first film that I also felt were underutilized. The movie also suffers from a really bad script that doesn't make sense in any way. The script is already bad to begin with but I have a feeling it's gonna be much worse for people who aren't familiar with the video games. Many of the plot points occur with no explanation which isn't a problem for fans but might alienate general audiences. The movie doesn't bother to explain why stuff is happening and why things are the way they are. As a general audience member you shouldn't have to watch a three hour YouTube video on Five Nights At Freddy's lore to understand what is going on in the movie. This movie was unfortunately incompetently made and this is going to drag it down in most categories.

The movie has an action packed b-movie feel to it. It feels like the filmmakers prioritized cheap thrills over actual quality. Every movie doesn't need to be a high quality masterpiece. Despite the many flaws of this film it is still mildly entertaining. There were some boring parts sprinkled throughout the movie but there was also some suspense, horror and action. Because of this I can confidently say that Five Nights At Freddy's 2 is at least twice as good as the first movie but it still can't rate it more than 3/10.
