I was SO excited prior but I ended up so bored and feeling like I was watching a preview of a film the entire time bc it just stays flat. I loved the male actor a lot, unlike others who say he’s too stoic.

Freakshowvato Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 "Review: Jordan Peele’s ‘Nope’ is a slow, dull and repetitive disappointment" "What Peele doesn’t have in “Nope” is a story or anything close to one. He has a situation, but it doesn’t develop. It more or less stays where it starts, with grander and louder versions of essentially the same scene. For the first 20 to 30 minutes, the audience waits for “Nope” to start. Then it realizes: Oh no, this is it." Could not agree more. https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/review-jordan-peeles-nope-is-a-slow-dull-and-repetitive-disappointment

I didn’t give a **** about all the dull build up. The suspense was not there like he thought.

I do not hate on those who liked this film, more power to y'all. But the fact I am being mocked for not liking a film over legitimate criticism is weird.
fountain Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I liked it but there’s definitely some legitimate criticisms. The ending is a great section which I found really interesting and oddly beautiful, but the beginning absolutely pales in comparison. It genuinely does take forever to start going anywhere, which is a trend in movies and is starting to become quite grating. There’s a bit too many ideas going on, the subplot with the monkey and Steven Yuen’s character honestly doesn’t need to be there, you can remove it from the film and I don’t think it would have any impact at all. More scenes like the digestion one really could’ve helped the pacing and make this more interesting throughout, they don’t necessarily have to reveal anything and can keep the intrigue up while also showing little glimpses like that from earlier on, because that’s probably the most memorable scene from the movie (and it doesn’t even last that long or show that much so it definitely could’ve been taken further). The message behind the movie isn’t very clear either, looking an explanation up afterwards makes me appreciate it a lot more but that shouldn’t be a requirement to understand the point of the movie, and again the message could’ve been more developed and layered throughout the movie itself. Spoiler Also, I wish there was an explanation as to why the creature only attacks when it is looked at. It’s a good metaphor for society, but I wish there was some reasoning behind it in the movie. And, again… it isn’t really made clear enough until the very end. Perhaps I missed something but it was kinda like, “oh, now it only attacks if they look at it? okay then”. It felt like a realisation that happened very suddenly. It worth watching and forming your own opinion. It’s not black or white a good or bad movie. There’s a lot that can be appreciated, and also a lot that can be viewed critically.

Spoiler Kaluuya's character made it clear the "don't look at the creature" thing when he remembered the reaction of his horse when they were on the set, at the beginning of the movie, all of them looking at the animal and making it feel uncomfortable. Animals can feel intimidated when you look at them for a long time and they can attack you, same happened with JJ (people watches it in the sky for a long time because it's a flying saucer, something we don't usually see like never).

Amanda Reifer. She was the lead singer of the group, Cover Drive and is featured on Die Hard from Kendrick's latest album. 2. I have quite a habit of sleeping in the middle of films when in the cinema . I slept during Doctor Strange in May too

I have to disagree tbh, I felt it detracted from the main plot and took time that it probably needed to be better developed and clearer.

Roberto Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I love how divisive this movie is. Some found it a masterpiece (me) and others just utterly trash.

Some amazing ideas in it but it kind of went... nowhere. The cloud moved more than the plot.
Dante Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 i loved it, it was very visually pleasing... i love it's depiction of a "spaceship"
Virgos Groove Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 The balloon scene had glued to my seat omg
Bombshell Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 I'm over an hour into this movie and for the most part - it just seems...boring. Us >
Dark Phoenix Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 It just got released here in Mexico and I think that the film was great, way better than Us and felt bigger than Get Out in technical aspects. The plot was clever and I also think that it was a criticism to plastic waste because that ended up being the salvation/killer; also the mockery to social media obsession (tmz reporter) and the director dying because he wanted to capture the whole thing reminded me of influencers dying just to get the perfect picture. Keke and Daniel ate every scene, Brandon was a nice revelation, Barbie cameo was a joke, Steven felt miscast tbh and out of place but well it’s LA area.
D/X Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 This was better than Us and Get Out, IMO. The cinematography and score were really good, and Keke surprised me. Jordan Peele do needs a co-writer, cause he has amazing unique concepts but he struggles while developing those ideas into actual stories. Now, I find it funny how people are making think pieces, video essays and trying to overanalyze a straightforward film like this one. I understand that people's expectations were to have an underneath social message as in Get Out and Us, but Jesus. People talking about animal exploitation, shocking images, colonialism, LMAO. It's not that serious, ma. Like for sure those are themes from the movie, but that's it. It's not "a message".
Iceland Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 The movie was good, but not as good as get out
Sweetestsecret Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 $160M on box office. Nice results I guess but unfortunately this movie won't reach the numbers of 'Get out' Or 'Us' https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Nope-(2022)#tab=summary
Leptine Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 The problem of this movie was the first hour, it needed to be more captivating and thrilling, the second half gets definitely better, especially the finale, it was great, overall a good movie with a great idea.
Repelex Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 The monkey subplot served no purpose. The horse audition was enough foreshadowing.

The parallelism between the two stories is cool, but I wished that at some point the two would merge in a more climactic way, its almost as if the thriller paste of the first two acts get lost into a simple western/alien hunt sequence at the end. I had high expectations given the psyco ending of Get Out.
