This is EXACTLY why I’m not a fan of the horror/scary movie genre. Because 99% of them have some stupid, ridiculous ending. Lol. Ruins the entire movie for me.
I thought it was really good! I was super hyped for this after being thoroughly happy with Get Out. The Alexa scene was hilarious.
Mr. C was terrible during this movie.
"That's a CLUE!" (After she drops the candy apple before going into the hall of mirrors)
"I KNOW the mom from somewhere." (He doesn't.)
"So what's the scary part, the music?"
"The Nun is better than this."
"This doesn't even make sense."
Also loved it! Jordan Peele does a great job of making you think without being too heavy handed. Less of a horror movie than I expected - probably around the level of Get Out - but really well done. Lupita Nyong'o was incredible and deserves and Oscar nom. Gabe was incredible comic relief.
Us seems merely the sum of the first film's critical effluent and influent, wish-determining the new movie's monody of genre and monotony of tone in the name of a specious homogeneity.
2nd worst movie I’ve ever seen. Only a Clockwork Orange tops it in that Category.
I usually love twist endings but this one was completely illogical and made zero sense. The entire story was ridiculous.
.0000001/10
Do you also hate Ghostbusters because ghosts are bullshit?
Nope.
Ghostbusters is one of my all time fav comedies. It’s Golden.
I just hate stupid movies and twists that contradict the entire setup of the movie itself.
What was illogical and contradicting?
Here’s a screen grab from reviews on IMDB that I completely agree with.
There are plenty more issues, such as why doesn’t anyone even mention a gun? Ya know one of those things that is perfect for taking down evil twins. Where the hell did all the red uniforms and scissors come from? Why rabbits? Were there dupes for the entire world, or just the US? Were they all housed under Santa Cruz, because how could she convince “All” of them to rise up if they were spread all across the US?
After the girl slung her twin off the minivan by hitting the brakes, why did the mom get out, go into the woods and find the evil dupe in a tree, 20 yards off the road to the right? WTF?
I find very few of these type of movies enjoyable because they usually are very illogical. And admittedly I rarely watch them. Had it not been for the wife choosing it, I wouldn’t have watched it, or I would have turned it off after the dupes showed up. I enjoyed the first part. And the lead actress was terrific. I liked “Get Out” for the most part so I thought maybe this would be to my liking as well.
Just not my thing. And everyone here knows my taste in movies sucks because I tend to prefer a quality story over shenanigans.
Jordan Peele tends to avoid spoon feeding you information as you watch and you really have to pay attention and tie things together for them to make sense. It seems like that review just took everything at face value and didn't really look at the deeper meaning of things, which is fine cause that's not everyone's jam. It was chalked full with social commentary and watching it a second time really opened my eyes to all the hints they dropped about everything throughout the film.
While there are a few things that don't fully make sense, Jordan Peele always likes to keep a few things open-ended to leave it up to your imagination as to what will/has happened.
