Nope

Peele is like the Wachowskis, you sit & ask yourself, how did this guy manage to have a production like getting OUT & end up with this crap? The only thing I saw in this movie was floating Chinese noodle bowls & kids with pork bunheads. & I figured it's jordans favorite takeaway that influenced this mess. This is a movie that you play in your living room if you're tired of having a pic slideshow on your tv or you want something to encourage phone browsing during a movie. I somehow think it would have been a nice anime series given the nature of the whole premise other than that it's Absolute garbage which I have no idea how it made it into the blockbuster catalogue. Peele should even pay people to pirate this.

A dumb story, a couple of interesting characters and no fun. There is so much wrong with this movie, you wonder how it got made. The writing would not get one star on any of the screenwriting sites. So why do critics love it? You tell me.

"Nope" was enthralling. I see it as a social commentary on people stunting and doing wild stuff for social media clout. I still prefer Peele's first film "Get Out", and I haven't seen "Us" but I'm probably gonna check it out now. I also see a lot of it as a smart twist on the horror genre. Whereas a lot of filmmakers create horror movies where the main characters survive despite their stupidity, this one plays on the main characters actually being clever enough to "nope out." Finally, our years of yelling "don't go in the closet/basement/outside, you idiot!" at the movie screen have been answered. Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya are terrific as the stars. The cinematography is on point. This whole movie is beautifully shot with a lot of subplots and recurring themes that will leave a lot of room for interpretation and after-movie discussion. Definitely one of the best of 2022 so far. It drags just a bit in the middle but I found it very fun and interesting.

As with the movies "Get Out", "Us" and "Nope", I've convinced myself that Jordan Peele movies are not for me. They all have childish plots, are conventional, unappealing, and the dialogues are poor and weak. Again Peele makes a mediocre film, meaningless, and full of cliches. I.e. The main character who uses one-syllable word, is quiet and shy and a cameraman who acts enigmatic to no purpose. Another issue that does not make sense is the abrupt cuts in the edition. The plot is another point that is difficult to swallow: the protagonists prefer to face danger for some images of this "thing" and also this "thing" that flies quickly and feeds on human beings. It's just too bad!!!

Wow this movie is bad! I have Get Out at an 8 and Us a generous 7, but THIS is just bad. Nothing is connected in the very bland ending, all the characters are unlikable except for Kuluyaa's essentially mute character OJ. Also, not sure why it's being called a horror movie, there is little to no suspense, let alone horror. Skip this, it's just bad and boring. Not even a crazy twist ending, one thing that Peele is known for. Not sure what the hell happened in the writer's room with this one. A true shame. Damn. EDIT: I have been a part of IMdb since 2011 and I have not written a single review until Nope. That's how bad thus movie is. 3/10.

Jordan's movies are hit or miss. Get Out was good. US was meh. This was terrible. Go in knowing it'll be hit or miss. This was a miss. Good story idea, horrific execution. The leads were good but the action was meandering. A story needs to have a reason to be told. This one had mo reason. Zero. Next time I will wait until his movies are on HBO MAX.
