Five Night's at Freddy's 2 - Angry Movie Review

Quick Overview

Angry Joe delivers an overwhelmingly negative review of the "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" movie, concluding it is awful, boring, lacks scares, features weak writing, and is worse than the first film, ultimately rating it a 2 out of 10.

Key Points: The reviewer found the movie "awful, awful," stating the plot was stupid, the comedy failed, and the theater was dead silent during joke delivery, even from costumed fans. The film lacked energy, scares, and coherence, devolving into plot explanations rather than delivering horror, leading to a final verdict of 2 out of 10. The sequel fails to be scarier or harder-edged despite fan desires, sticking to PG content because "They need to be for children," disappointing those hoping for R-rated horror elements. The reviewer heavily criticized the writing, citing instances like characters arguing while a child is in danger and the introduction of a "long lost brother" as soap opera-level writing. The trailer misled viewers, as the highly anticipated scenes at the original, scary location and involving ghost hunters only comprised about five minutes of the entire film. The best parts, mentioned only twice, were the effect of the possessed Marionette and the appearance of actor John Newman, but these positive moments constituted less than ten minutes combined. The film functions only as an empty vessel for cameos and Easter eggs, completely failing as a movie because it lacks characters, story, scares, and a proper climax, instead merely setting up a third film.

Context: This video features Angry Joe and Alex providing an angry movie review for the sequel, "Five Nights at Freddy's 2," which is based on the popular jump-scare horror video game franchise created by Scott Cawthon. The sequel brought back the original creator, Scott, as the sole writer, following fan feedback on the first film, yet the reviewers argue this resulted in an even worse product that failed to capture the horror essence of the games.
