Five Nights at Freddy's 2's audience score is higher than the first film

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 may be reviewing even worse than the panned original, but it's clearly a hit with fans because the audience score is actually a little higher.

As you've probably heard by now, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is absolutely plastered with negative reviews from critics, who have called it pretty much every bad thing under the sun. At the time of writing, it currently holds a shocking 13 percent score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is less than half of what the original film received.

It may sound like Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is one of the worst movies of the year and absolutely not worth your time, but apparently that's not what everyone thinks. Like the original film, Five Nights at Freddy's 2's audience score doesn't match the reviews at all, as it's actually considered even friendlier than the first film.

At least someone is having a good time with it

As Redditor -Xayer pointed out on the Five Nights at Freddy's subreddit, FNAF 2's Rotten Tomatoes score has settled down a bit now that the movie is actually out and more reviews have surfaced. While its critic score looks even worse than when we originally reported it, the audience score (or Popcornmeter as RT wants us to call it) is shockingly high.

Halloween Horror Nights is for the players this year.

After more than 1,000 verified ratings, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has a huge audience score of 88 percent, indicating that fans of the franchise will find something to love about it. Interestingly, this score is actually slightly higher than the original film's Popcornmeter, which currently sits at 86 percent.

It's worth noting that Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has less than half the audience reviews that the original film did, so there's still plenty of time and room for things to change.

Of course, the Five Nights at Freddy's community is a pretty passionate one that has been looking forward to the second film for quite some time, so the overwhelmingly positive reviews Power just be a bit of a movement to give it more love. That said, there's also a good chance that fans actually just like the movie and don't take it as seriously as critics.

All in all, considering how most of the negative reviews for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 were about it having too much cheap fanservice, it seems that may have paid off on the audience's score. We'll have to wait and see how the movie performs at the box office when all is said and done, but it sure seems like critic reviews might not be judging Five Nights at Freddy's 2 as much as we all think.
