20 Movies Critics HATE But Audiences LOVE

Another hit video game adaptation that was totally impervious to critical scorn now, with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

The first film didn't get much love from reviewers (33%) but evidently satisfied its primarily teenage audience, leading to a viewer approval rating of 86%.

And the deficit between critics and audiences grew massively for the second film, which was panned into the Earth's core by most reviewers (16%), who felt it was a nonsensical, not-scary, overlong mess that doubled down on basically everything they disliked about the original.

But fans liked it pretty much the same, given its 83% audience score, resulting in a staggering difference of 67% between critics and viewers.

Considering the two films have grossed well over $500 million worldwide, Universal and Blumhouse are surely totally unconcerned about the critical hate - a trend that's probably unlikely to change with the in-development Five Nights at Freddy’s 3.
