- I'm glad I waited to review Jordan Peele's Nope, so I could give it a 2nd watch. Did my mind change? #Nope #JordanPeele

All, many of you have commented about the meaning of the chimp scene, having to do with control. I always say, I have the smartest viewers. And that makes complete sense. Thank you for getting me up to speed. Keep rocking. 👏🔥
PEELE is a flash in the pan... overrated
He has moments of greatness but overall fails to keep it together seamlessly
I read that the chimp signs "What happened to the family?" at the end of the scene. Made watching it a second time more interesting.
The reason the monkey plot was in there was to show how jupe didn’t learn his lesson. It was also in there to show the exploitation of animals on film and how society will love animals as spectacles but when those animals do their animal type instincts people are surprised lol.
Yeah I thought it was pretty simple to understand that and how it does fit the plot with the ufo not sure why some people don’t understand it
That’s a great point.
Rubbish.
But to be fair. The first situation with jupe wasn’t his fault. He was child he didn’t know any better. Unfortunately he thought 💭 he figured it out later on life but that wasn’t the case lol 😂. Damn I feel bad for glen. He plays likeable characters on tv and movies just for his character to have a tragic death.
Exactly
i love the meaning behind this movie… us humans think we can control creatures like horses and monkeys. and the ufo which is also a creature will come after you if you look at it straight in the eyes when humans tries to exploit it
Great take
Rubbish. Especially when actual aliens treat actual humans and cattle like.. cattle. To experiment on and cut up for DNA and blood.
Thee old Jurassic Park theme again
Yep
I loved this movie ngl. it was a fresh take on the "alien" genre. The end dragged on for a bit long, but other than that very enjoyable
Full disclosure - I am slightly biased because I love anything with a 1950s style flying saucer but the subversive layers is what did it for me. What I haven’t seen mentioned too much is the idea that “if you look at it it will get you” - not only does this apply to animals sensing fear but also how we engage with news and social media. Another big epiphany for me for this movie in the horror genre is the Bible verse about spectacle and how we clamor to see disturbing or horrifying things for clout, yet we are paying to see a horror movie - truly meta.
This and get out are tied for my favorite peele movie. I get why it doesn’t work for some but it worked for me
I liked that it was different, however found it pretty boring.
I saw it this weekend and for the record, this has to be something I felt that was completely out of the norm for Jordan Peele. The movie itself was eerie, weird and all are kinda give you chilling vibes. This was indeed a slow burn, very slow burn, but for me it did pay it off.
The chimp scene was kinda weird and didn’t seem to fit the main plot of the movie, but it was more to build the character of Jupe, so his trauma he face was more to exploit it for profit, that’s the main thing I kinda got, but I wanted to know more. The details were a little vague.
The raining scene in it was probably the scariest scene for me. That scene just gave me the creeps
The most unrealistic part of the movie is that there's still a Fry's open
The monkey scene was pertinent to the main story because it shows that Steven’s character once “tamed” a wild animal (the monkey) when he fist bumped him after the rampage. So he assumed he could “tame” the antagonist of Nope, despite it being seemingly uncontrollable
yeea... if you have to do all that explaining then the script isnt tight enough. Also the advertisement team should be fired. This movie isnt horror. Its sci-fi adventure. Honestly, this movie was a mess.
Hate to be that guy....Chimps are apes not monkeys.
@@Phil-For-Reel bahaha... you win the comment section
@@kiaadams104 Sorry to be that guy again HAHA. but I do agree with you that if a script needs to be explained and discussed after the fact it wasn;t a tight script.
Not Jordan Peele's best movie. But he is still a great director. 👍🏼
Oh definitely.
Peele is 3 for 3 with me. From a pure directorial point of view this was his most accomplished work for me. It was visually stunning. I have to say though: Get Out> Nope> Us
It was unique. But, I found it very boring to the point in where I actually fell asleep in the theater. I didn’t wake up till the lights came on lol
Jordan Peele’s films are a hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed Get Out while I was really let down by Us. I had little to no expectations for NOPE and I’m not a fan of sci-fi too but NOPE surprised me and I ended up loving it. I give it a 9/10 and it’s my favorite out of the three.
SPOILERS:

As for Oj’s character being bland was the intention how he’s different from other characters from the movie. He’s deadpan, doesn’t care about fame (doesn’t look at the camera when filming the commercial), technology (he still uses a flip phone), and sees the world differently from the rest of the characters which is how he’s able to know not to look at Jean Jacket. His character is the voice of reason behind the message of the movie, greed. Obsessing over fame and fortune can destroy you which it did for the tmz guy, Antlers, and Jupe
Can I ask, what disappointed you about Us? I was hoping this movie would be as ambitious with its twist and scale. Instead, it was just a low key creature feature.
@@jacksonscott690 us had plot holes all over, comically bad plot holes. And terrible timing when itcomes to comedy. It was a comedy film. The score was great but didnt fit the film. Peele had an opportunity to make a confined paranoia involving dopplegangers and went for an Apocolypse story
@@merksmovies25 I think it’s funny that when a person goes on a rollercoaster, the tethered version is just violently flailing around underground 😂
First off, I want to say that I get how you feel about this film,( I think my husband felt the same way) and I respect your feeling.
I disagree with you about Daniel Kahluya’s performance ( my apologies , I’m sure I misspelled his last name) . I felt his quiet was needed . The balance . Emerald and Angel were the high energy. All three would have been too much. Plus, his character handled the horses; that quiet is necessary.
As for Gordy, yes it did fit in. I think the presence of the alien force, along with the fact that he had been pushed to his limit to perform. Don’t forget about the girl’s shoe standing on end. Little former zookeeper’s nit picking; please don’t call a chimpanzee a monkey. Monkeys have tails. Sorry , it drives me crazy. Sorry about that.
I loved this movie. The nature of the threat blew my mind and i loved the visuals. The opening was the most intense part of the movie though.
Great review, Lee. You always give a movie and its director a fair shake and you avoid the masterpiece or rubbish extremes many reviewers fall in love with at times.
Thank you!
Yeah, this film was more of a character study rather than a full blown sci-fi thriller. It wasn't about the "Threat" as much as it was about the hubris of a few of these characters. The Gordy the chimp story was connected to the main plot by way of Ricky "Jupe" Park's exploitation of the "Alien threat". He didn't learn from his past incident with Gordy, and decided to use his childhood fame as a money making scheme, along with trying to make the Alien threat into a spectacle, which you can pretty much assume from the trailer. Although the movie wasn't a complete home run for me, I really appreciate the layers of symbolism, and the time it takes with the atmosphere and characters. You're super right about Kaluuya...he's such a great actor but mumbled most of the movie, while Keke Palmer's mouth was running a mile a minute. I know Kaluuya's character OJ is a very reserved character, but sweet jeebus show us a bit more emotion! Overall, coming out of the theater I liked the film, the symbolism and technical aspects mostly. I also liked the simplicity of the "Threat" and what it possibly could be, even though the film doesn't dwell on it.
I get where you’re coming from, but I actually quite like Kaluuya’s performance. I found it to be subtle and reserved, which makes sense for his character. Also, I feel he did great with silence and complemented Keke’s energy well. Besides that I agree with your take aways. The technical aspects were especially impressive!
I understood the symbolism and foreshadowing of the Gordy show and how it tied to Ricky’s cowboy show. Conversely, OJ’s mishap with Lucky at the commercial also drove home the same idea/theme. OJ, however, learned something from the experience - regardless how random, forced and unconvincing I found said lesson.
But Ricky (spoilers ahead) was gone half way through our story and the Gordy incident proved pointless beyond mirroring the cowboy show/movie. The doomed sitcom was the most riveting segment in the movie and it’s connection to our story was removed at the half way point without any sort of purpose ever revealed for its inclusion.
I liked the characters and the basic premise, and the movie looked great. I just found the motivations and decisions of those characters forced and unconvincing. Everything from the point Ricky disappeared felt random and purposeless. The lack of cohesion and clearly defined stakes left me feeling uninvolved and disinterested.
I admire certain aspects of the film and would rate it in the C+ range. But mostly view it as a missed opportunity and a letdown.
I think most people understand the meaning behind the monkey but they also understand that it's an absolutely braindead take to try and equate a monkey to an alien.
I think its pretty braindead for you to actually think JP was trying to relate a monkey to an alien cuz that's for sure not what he was doing.
@@chanelhenderson8460 It for sure was. He was showing how you can't tame nature and at any moment when you think you have an animals trust things can go bad.
@@saucemaster2 then it wouldn't matter if it was a chimp bear tiger horse or lion the animal is inconsequential Gordy was used because of a real life chimp attack that happened in the 80s that's all but yes the message is correct but you're missing what that chimp meant to Ricky & the mistake that got him killed. Its not JP that's comparing a chimp to a spaceship its Ricky's stupidity & his trauma from the Gordy incident that made him believe he controlled Gordy & could control the ship as well that's why he's so shocked when the ship shows up early
I'm honestly not understanding the hate some people are having for this movie. Imo, this is the best of Jordan Peele's work. It kept a better balance between comedy and suspense than US did, and the suspense in this film is truly palpable
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
I didn’t find anything particularly wrong with the film.. but I just felt underwhelmed with this overall. I wanted to love it. 6/10 for me.
Couldn’t agree more Lee . Review was on point , this why I’m subscribed to you . I swear we think alike . By the way this is random but I miss DrumDumsDrives! You must bring it back! Lol but seriously I really enjoyed those videos .
Thank you! And I was reminiscing about DDrives the other day. Maybe.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Sweet Lee! No matter what always tuning in! Keep up the Horror Content/Overall!
I have heard alot of critics that loved this, and a good amount who didn't care for it. Thank for seeing it a second time to give us your best review. I am going to wait until streaming. I liked Get Out, I felt US wasn't to shabby (felt like a solid yet glorified Twilight Zone episode) and this I will wait for streaming. Jordan does seem like a nice guy. Some select episodes of his Twilight Zone weren't to bad at all. Sorry you didn't like the film, but at least you gave it a fair chance.
I don't think any of his movies will surpass "nope" for me. Thats as brilliant as a Jordan Peel will probably get
I think it's his best movie. It sticks with you.
I love Get Out, and in some ways Us actually surpasses it. What I really like about Nope is the way it kept me engaged without underestimating my intelligence. When I watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind four years ago, I had the same reaction that you exhibited to Nope. (I haven't seen it since then. Until I do, this opinion still stands). Nope is obviously inspired by Spielberg's classic, but it kept me interested through its combination of quirky characters, terrific performances, and tense sequences that increased the mystery of the alien entity. It didn't need large-scale action to be exciting. Unlike you, I've only seen it once, so there are certain matters that warrant at least one more viewing on my part. Namely, the chimpanzee and the film's whole ending. Overall, though, I thought Peele did a great job of straddling the line between dumb sci-fi action pic and pretentious borefest.
Usually I have completely opposite tastes than you, but one of the reasons why I love your channel Lee is because you explain things so well I always appreciate things more after and I love going back and rewatching movies and I can totally see what you see 👍👍
Thanks so much man!
Felt like a bunch of different ideas that don't really come together as a satisfying whole. The chimp incident. The horse training. The weird ass cloud monster. Shrug.
You watched it TWICE!!
You must have A LOT of time on your hands
I LOVE EVERY MOMENT AND CHARACTERS AND THE SHOCKER REVELATION.
Lee you guys are my HORROR DREAM TEAM! It was great seeing you all together! YOU, Dave McRae, Jimmy champagne, two dudes and a movie, and Barry from wolfman's got nards! Y'all could have threw in there THE CRITICAL OVERLORD but of course he doesn't show his face on his videos! Lol
You all made great points concerning Halloween kills and the Halloween Ends trailer! Dave McRae always gives the most technical and carefully thought out responses LOL.. But I totally agree with him that Halloween kills should have focused MORE on Tommy Doyle and Lindsay Wallace to give the story more weight and direction!
But all in all I dig all of you guys and I can't WAIT for the next Hollow streams when Halloween ends drop on my birthday which is October 14th!!!!🎃🎃🎃🎃
Thank you! My sister’s birthday is Oct 14th.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews That's great! And that makes her a special kind of woman😉👍🏾
Can't wait for this one! Lowenbrau is a beer, lol!
Damn I loved this one but appreciate and respect the honesty!
Thank you!
I’m with you on this one for sure
I'm never disappointed by movies, especially Jordan Peele. Is this disappointment a sign of me getting old.
I like the defiance he shows toward Hollywood with the Monkey scene.
I agree with you 100% on this review.
Is that a Mark Zuckerberg Myers mask in the third spot under tv? I’m dying over here 😂
It is. 😂
I thought it was great to see everyone on SATURDAY night! Hopefully they do another one about ENDS and one about where the Halloween franchise goes after ENDS.
Personally this might have been my FAVORITE Jordan Peele movie, but you’re very good at articulating your feelings so I totally get where you’re coming from. Personally I never felt bored and as a big sci-fi/kaiju fan I really loved this movie
I am curious what you thought was pretentious about it. I hear this critique on other movies and struggle to understand what people mean (which could mean that I'm pretentious!). Could you give some examples? Thanks!
Hey Lee,
may I ask if you have seen Nope in IMAX theatre?
I am bit surprised you found it boring.
Maybe it was a matter of expectations?
I enjoyed Nope a lot, but I was excpecting a lot more of classic horror.
Yesterday I've seen it one more time, this time around in Imax and man, that was incredible experience! :)
I had such a wonderful and exciting time!
Cheers man!
Huge Michael Wincott fan here! Love him in everything he’s in
Shout out to the “Terminator” reference t-shirt!
Lee i was wondering if you got my script Jason's Out There? Was wondering if you had had a chance to read it yet?
I haven’t read it yet Jason. Way too busy.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Ok. Im glad u got the script. Thanks for letting me know.
Funny you mentioned Jaws because that's how it felt to me too. Like the Jaws of the sky.
I loved it. Went in with Zero expectations. Never saw a Jorden Peele film before so I was just in it for the entertainment value; and it delivered for me.
This movie is like a Cloverfield movie with a very basic Jaws outline. Rather than a husband and wife, we have OJ and Emerald. The Fry's Electronics guy is Hooper. Michael Wincott's character is Quint. He even dies in the final act of "chasing" the monster. Jupe was the Amity boaters thinking they could stand a chance against the monster because they think they know what they're doing. We also get a false flag scene with the fake grey aliens. In Jaws there were kids with fake shark fins. In the end, the monster is defeated with an explosion via compressed oxygen.
Is Peele really that great of a director though I mean Get Out was great US was good, not great and this was probably his worst movie more just ok. I guess visually he has a good eye for shots but his story telling needs work.
M Night Shamalyan > Jordan Peele
Saw this movie tonight.
First thought coming out of the theater was that the first 2/3rds of the movie was good and kept me interested for the most part.
The ending could have been fixed up a little, imo.
It just didn’t hit the way it should have.
And I agree with your statement about the look. Didn’t work for me.
The scene with Gordy was my favorite scene. Thought it was handled extremely well.
Hate that you didn't like the movie. I absolutely loved it. But I also appreciate your fair honest and balanced review. Jordan definitely isn't for everyone and I feel like he's One of those people where you either really love him or really hate him with very few people being anywhere on a spectrum in between.
Get Out was his big crowd-pleasing thriller, while Us and Nope are both a lot more psychological and cerebral. The latter two require multiple watches and close analysis before you can make up your mind.
I kept wondering why the shoe kept standing up & it was a metaphor which happened that the other shoe would drop when after seeing the disaster of exploiting the chimpanzee resulted in steven yuin dying by exploiting the other animal
Completely agree Lee 👍🏻
Thank you Jill! ❤
Missed you a DC Universe Superpets today... Lol
Hey Dan!!
Bless your heart, I don't plan on sitting through it once anytime soon. It smelled like Night Shyamalan's "Signs" from miles away, and that's not a good thing
Nope on this review my boy✌🏽
Boom!💥
i walked out confused but when i started putting the pieces together, it’s really a smart movie. it has its flaws but when you realize the UFO is actually a space animal it makes so much more sense.
This movie should have been called Why? As in, why did the creative team think this was a good idea? I just kept thinking "Why are these people the way they are? Why are they doing this?" The entire premise and character set up were so forced. Get Out was a preposterous set up that succeeded because the characters felt real - I bought into it. Everything and everyone in Nope were so contrived and out of place in their own movie
You are def in the minority
I agree
I thought there were some incredible moments of tension in this film. The scene where OJ is checking out the stables and (***spoiler **) you see the "aliens ", the scene with Gordy, and the scene with all the rain and the blood dripping down the house. It's a shame the rest of the film didn't live up to those scenes for me.
Heyyyy Yo man what’s up, I really liked this movie and it was slow.. But would I watch it again right away ummm not for a long while. I loved that it was a different take on ufo stuff man… Cool video and thanks man for your review #BigbearBro
My personal ranking of Jordan Peele movies:
1. Us (trapped on an island)
2. Get Out (purchase worthy)
3. Nope (humdrum)
I don't know how to explain that alien type thing that looked like a flying saucer that turned into a flying jelly fish that had a huge vacuum sucking living things up in it.
Right?!
The scene that won me over was the crowd abduction. Because the following scene was so claustrophobic in IMAX. Plus the confusing delivery: pink walls that look like a giant parachute or bounce house…but they’re moving. And they’re contracting. And then you see the half digested horse and you realize where you are.
Honestly, I will probably end up watching this movie once or twice a year again. Less than US though or Get Out. Get Out is better quality and Us works faster
I think the comment on OJ not caring about his job and being boring isn’t entirely accurate. The boring part is warranted, he’s definitely far from charismatic. However, he repeatedly shows how passionate he is both about his fathers legacy and the horses themselves. On multiple occasions, Emerald wants to leave and not look back, but OJ is the one to convince her to stay by defending the horses and what his father built from the ground up. On the same vein, I think saying it’s boring is a stretch, and I think the build up is in line with Spielberg films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind or Jaws. I think the slow burn and gradual reveal make the twist pay off more and although the ending is polarizing I think it was incredibly artistic, as was the rest of the movie. Overall I don’t think it’s comparable to any other Peele film, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad.
That Tech Noir tee just rules.
@Baked Biehn Hey, it's Michael Biehn! How cool is that?!!
@Baked Biehn A guy so nice, he's Wonderful twice?
Haven’t seen it yet. But, I respect the views of this channel 9 times outta 10. So, I can’t wait to see NOPE for myself to be able to give it my own take!😎👍🏿
Awww bummer dude! So sorry you didn't like it! But there'll be other ones. I for one am really looking forward to Ari Aster's new one coming in 2023. I'm sure you know about it, I have a feeling fans will be very divided over that one too!
Oh you say Ari Aster and I’m there.
Loved the movie, have watched multiple times. Love Keke & Daniel’s performances as well as the location & storyline.
Not disappointed in this film AT ALL!!
I watched this a second time recently myself and really enjoyed it both times. I'm sorry you didn't feel the same but I can also see how this one was more likely to divide audiences. Rather than repeat what others have already stated, I will simply say I liked the characters, the monster, and the themes of spectacle and exploitation.
It may not be as heavy as Get Out or Us, and has more of a crowd-pleasing tone compared to those other two, but I'll take it. Hell, Michael Wincott reciting The Purple People Eater was worth the price of admission alone. 8/10 for me.
Yeah i respect peele for that and giving credit to carpenter! He listed 3 films Christine, Halloween, The Thing.
Thanks for watching it twice...now I don't feel the need to go see it...saving my pennies for Halloween Ends!!!
i liked the deeper meaning of the movie. but i agree, weird execution, boring, i wasnt a fan of the “ufo” visuals either. id rather watch a movie just about the chimp tbh
I really liked ojs character. That’s how someone in real life would be who works on a ranch and just watched his dad die. All while dealing with possibly losing his ranch. He was subtle but really good. All the characters were written really well.
Agree on your review. The monkey scene ( not sure why it was in the movie) was the only thing scary about it. Over all that was over 2 hours wasted.
Rubbish movie. Boring and pretentious. Us was not good either. Peele has one good, but overrated film under his belt.
Hate you didn't get into it. Honestly, gave the film somewhere between a 7 and an 8. For one, I did love the cinematography and the acting choices. I also loved the soundtrack and the twist was one I liked, albeit it does dip into more abstract. Narrative wise, I agree that it is not as strong as Get Out's tighter writing where it feels like there were some aspects that were missing such as Ricky's backstory. However, at the same time, I feel that it was likely intentional on Peele's part. Like I got the gist of the characters and situation such as the scene regarding the chimp.
Thematically, the chimpanzee is much like the UFO and the horses where they are disrespected and made to perform for a profit only for them to snap and go savage. Ricky's backstory at first would seem to be irrelevant to the film, but at the same time, we get the sense that he was traumatized but still wanted to have his chance in the spotlight after his career was ruined and he makes the drastic mistake of not learning after what happened with the Gordy incident. He had some sense that he was able to control animals because of how Gordy was going to do the exploding fist bump with him before getting euthanized, and I feel that even without getting a full story on him, it overall isn't the point.
Thank you for bringing up the score, which was excellent.
the point of the chimp is the Chimp is a mirror of The Alien Jean Jacket, The industry uses the monkey as a source of income and the tragedy is exploited, SNL makes a skit on the horrific tragedy, Jupe is renting out his room which is a memorabilia of the tragedy.
But when Jupe grows up, he finds the alien, and uses the animal as a source of income due to it using animal sacrifices, and suddenly they do something wrong and the alien turns on them killing them all.
The thing that set the monkey off was a balloon, the thing that killed the alien was the balloon. When it comes to the “plot” the monkey scenes further a lot actually, it reinstated the main message of the movie which is the exploitation in the industry.
Saying you don’t like the movie is chill, on my first viewing i had no fucking clue what i just watched. The movie is a psychological thriller that makes you think and makes you uncomfortable the entire film. Once i started thinking about it, and understanding. I liked the movie a lot more.
The only thing i don’t get is how you said OJ’s character is boring, he’s dealing with the loss of his father and he was already a quiet reserved guy beforehand, as the movie goes on he becomes more and more vocal, his reactions seem weird because he is extremely methodical, not very emotionally reactive, i mean hell he came up with most of the plan in the final act
All in all i respect your opinion, but i just think you don’t entirely understand a lot of the movie
Cool review. But I felt indifferent a little too until I realized the importance of the "Gordy" story and all of the elements in there that matter so much to the film. Fantastic fi. Not necessarily for everyone....but what is for everyone anyway. Well done Peele
KeKe Palmer was great in Joyful Noise with Dolly Parton.
I think peele should have made this movie about a zoo and the animals had a virus. Which they start killing the trainers and customers.
Bro the early screenings for the movie "Prey" happened in San Diego a couple days ago. The reviews are off the chain! People are saying that this is the best predator movie since the original 1987 film. This is gonna be huge! Come on August 5th!
@Baked Biehn Actually they sent the movie to a lot of well known streamers who are pretty high up there. Take a look around TH-cam and see for yourself.
I’m so looking forward to it!
@Baked Biehn Yes sir and did you see his quick review theater reaction he Uploaded yesterday? Time to get hyped!
My man Lee has a Tech Noir shirt on!
Can't say I'm a Jordan Peele fan. He's either the black M. Night Shymalan or the Kanye of movies...
I probably gonna have to watch Nope again, because when I saw the movie at a drive in at night the night time scenes we're really hard to tell on what was happening.
Oh damn. That’s a good point. Jealous you got to see it at a drive-in.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews the first time that I've seen a movie at a drive in was Jurassic Park 3 and I was like 6.
Lee!!! Remember X (2022) movie? well they are doing a prequel! and the trailer is out now! Pearl it's called! U know what that means!! :D
Pearl trailer reaction GO! :D
It's interesting... I enjoyed it. But didn't love it until driving home and all the subtext starting to connect. And please do not take this as a personal shot at you specifically. But I do find it interesting that most of the negative comments or people that totally miss or hate the commentary of he film about chasing fame and spectacle.. are youtubers and clout chasers. The same people the film was attempting to put a light one.
Now this is elevated horror because they keep looking up! 😰😉
😂😂😂
This movie was actually scary and suspenseful. Way more than any recent horror movie I can think of. That, with the great twist and amazing cinematography, what’s not to love?
Tell it like it is , Lee!
I honestly think this is my favorite of the three films he's made! Get Out was a deeper movie but I had the most fun with this one! The scene with the thing looming over the house was just awesome! Also the scenes with the chimp were probably the scariest part of the film.
The story with Jupe did feel disjointed but after talking it with my friends, it made more sense. Trying not to spoil here. 😅
Sad you didn't like it as much but to each their own. I'm glad you gave it an honest chance. 😁
Awesome Iam. Glad you enjoyed it. All his films are somewhat polarizing. My favorite is Us.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews that's the best part about films. We all have our different tastes. Us is actually my least favorite of his movies! 😅
Still love hearing your takes on films tho even if we disagree. Makes the conversation more interesting. 😁
the chimp scene wasn’t necessary at all. when they were fired after the horse got riled up I got the metaphor ..lol there was no need to dumb it down for us like that. hands down his least cohesive project .
Keep on doing content i am sure you will EASILY surpass 800 viewers streaming. But if you really want more streaming numbers, i would recomend you to try streaming on twitch. There is a much bigger audience and people have an easier time finding streams than on youtube.
I agree with some of your points, but I did not find the film 🎥 boring. That being said, I think I’m just at a point where I want to see something other than Marvel movies.
I think a lot of it is Jordan peele, even if they hate it they say they like it. Heard that someone said he was the greatest horror director ever, glad that's there opinion but we all know he's not quite there yet
I’m a minute and a half in but there’s no indication whether this is a spoiler free review or not. It seems like it’s heading towards spoiler territory. Haven’t seen it yet, shall I continue or get out (pun intended 😉)?
Spoiler free
This movie was fire. You’re wild
It was long…i gave it 5.5-6/10. I much much prefer Us by far. I liked keke palmer’s character. I wish it had more sci fi element’s. Not sure i’ll watch it again
I saw a few reviews and just thought...Nope!
100% agree. It was kind of difficult staying awake during this one. For barely anything happening it was entirely too long.
I'd compare Jordan Peele with maybe M Night Shaymalan more than the typical slasher/horror film director.
I loved this movie a lot, definitely in my top 10 horror films. I loved the design of the alien and the way it unfolded itself at the end. It felt so other-worldly, as it should. I am I actually going back to see it a third time with some friends tonight :)
