The title says it all.
As in:
You The Movie Loving Public: “Hey Spence, is Nope worth seeing?”
Me: “Nope.”
Further elaboration:
In regards to writer/director Jordan Peele, I thought Get Out was okay. I really dug Us.
Nope, however, is all over the place with too many unfinished ideas, thin characters, and a weak reveal that is neither scary, horrifying, or gory.
There are several scenes meant to be scary that look like people playing in a jump house or doing interpretive dance with parachutes (if you've seen the cult film The Death Bed, well the effects are on part with the silk sheets of suffocation...).
It’s like a kid with ADHD watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Super 8 and said “I can do better,” but then didn’t.
The underlying theme is that animals can’t be tamed, but it fails to even really elaborate on that with any semblance of creativity, let alone horror.
Peele might be this generation’s M. Night…And the internet pundit (oh, my bad, "critic") who exclaimed that Jordan Peele is the greatest horror director ever is an idiot who obviously hasn’t seen enough horror films.
You know a film is crap when even the presence of Keith David and Michael Wincott (!) can’t save it.
