The sequel will be called " Get Us Out of Here "
I saw it twice. I enjoyed it very much, I dissected it the second time around. It was just a great film and had so much in depth but everyone has their own opinions and I still respect my boys.
really? did you like the part where the girl started imitating the demon voice? just looked very cringey to me honestly...
@@blueboxgamestudios5349 when did that happen?
@@blueboxgamestudios5349 what the hell are you taking about?
@@CharifRocka when they met their look a likes and the girl had that demonic voice, it sounded very cheesy and cringey to me
Sabah Laith Mueen I thought it was pretty innovative, if you do the homework behind the reasoning of the voice
CinemaBlend has a review of this movie that makes everything I didn’t understand make sense. Y’all should check it out!
*Idk what happened to me* recently I’ve stopped being critical of movies and just enjoying what it is - idk if I’m switching off my brain but I’ve enjoyed movies much more and leave the theatre more positively..
Shay Michael That’s the key. I feel as though most people go into movies judging them as if they’re nominated for an Oscar. But when you realize that it’s just meant to show you a good time, you appreciate it more because you actually had a good time instead of searching for every tiny mistake.
So you take the easy way out
TotalX48 - how is that taking the easy way out? I can still acknowledge bad movies but it’s better leaving the theatre optimistic than cynical and nitpicking
@@firstlast9846 We get it you are so awesome, and i say it because its easy to do that
Me too, me too
I completely agree. I had such high expectations and liked get out, but i left a little disappointed. Not a bad movie, but not amazing
@Christopher Simon be quiet!
Undead zombie dumb for having an opinion?
Jethro Au over hyped
@Christopher Simon racist? Tf planet are u on lol
It's funny, they reference C.H.U.D. in the movie at the very beginning, and that was apparently a big deal for some people in certain forums. And that gives you a hint that there's something nefarious going on in the tunnels, besides the initial prologue. But by the end of the movie, I think I would have been more entertained by having actual C.H.U.D.s coming out of the sewers, rather than these guys! :-P Because hey, if you're going to go government, go full mutant! j/k And I know being 'entertained' wasn't the main goal. But this movie was inspired by "Mirror Image", the episode of the Twilight Zone. And that's what I thought it was, a mirror world. Like the 'Mirror Universe' in Star Trek. Or that people's 'darkness' was being separated from them, and was now coming out to play from where it had been hiding, in the shadows. Or that the end of the world was near, and it was causing people to be 'split'. Something, *anything* more mysterious. Something spiritual. But no, it was clones that can be manipulated by the people above? What the heck?! o_O Was Jordan Peele smoking something when he came up with this? :-P Because it sure feels like it. I appreciate the imagery, and the symbolism...but the actual *technical* explanation? Yeah, I'm *not* sold on it. Sorry to its fans. I respect you, and I'll go to bat for your opinion, but...I gotta disagree here. I agree, I think they nailed it with this review.
I did research a lot of stuff on US after the movie and I do appreciate the movie even more. I jus wish that ending kept audiences guessing. That being said I will be seeing US many more times and buying it when it comes out. I honestly can’t wait for Jordan peele’s future projects.
I was just tell my friends, if you seen Get Out multiple times for the hidden Easter Eggs and the clues, do the exact same thing for Us. I caught it the first time and found it fantastic!!
The fuck you want to see it many times?
I agree the twist was predictable but this movie was so good. Disagree but y’all still my boys!!
That intro was lit 🔥
Ikr
Nah man, if you do some research, this movie is a classic. The meaning behind this movie is crazy, Jordan Peele legit might be to smart for his own good. The man is a genius. But I respect your opinions, great review.
Lol classic
If someone has to do research it isn't a damn classic. You guys call everything a classic
Will T Thank you!
Perle even said that the movie is open for creativity to make a sequel
Classic? You’re emotions are getting the best of you.
Ya’ll made my Alexa go off and scared the crap out of me haha
I agree with your opinion I'll give this movie a 7.5/10 movie was creepy tho.
It’s an intellectual movie , if you’re expecting slasher horror it’s not for you 🤷🏽♂️
True...but there was enough slasher in it😂😂😂😂
Wasn’t expecting a slasher but there were waaay too many plot holes to call this movie intellectual
Frank White not really the answered were right in front of you the whole time ....
@@zymir5494 It wasn't about the ending per say, but how Adelaide got to the end. Very much so, the answer was blatantly put in our face since the beginning. Just like Captain America: Civil War; everybody knew Bucky killed Tony's parents, but it was more of the consequences that were untold because of. People forgot about the consequences.
In Civil War, it was seeing if the freedom to take actions into your own hands, or being lead by directive order under those involved with politics would bring peace.
In which, Steve learned not every decision was the best by the freedom of his actions &/or thoughts. And, Tony learned no matter how much he was willing to be lead by politics he'd still take things personal, even if it hurt the relations he was personally involved with.
Here in Us, Adelaide shows she felt sympathy for her fellow tethered, and at the same time showed no remorse for her actions, and would fight to keep what some took for granted, knowing she came from less than.
Red was born with those granted a decent living and had it snatched from her, in the end... She no longer cared for those who had more than her, but wanted to burn what they've built in order to keep others in suffering.
A rags/disadvantaged vs riches/privileged perspective.
"Why didn't you take me with you?"
This is exactly how I was after I watched it the first time. Then when I saw it again, everything started falling in place and was so well crafted. I think y'all need to give it another look.
The movie borrows from magical realism genre. It's more about symbolism than logic in a real world setting.
The whole theater was dying laughing through this whole movie.
hearing “i got five on it” with that creepy music behind it is just creepy as hell...bruh i swear jordan peele is a genius.
Us was the true definition of Horror/Thriller movies. Well paced amd well written without having any jump scares
You guys always keep it real, that’s why I love this channel. You aren’t concerned with pleasing everyone and just speak your mind all the time.
I hated the ending I felt something was missing from the story
Uchiha 77 same
What’s is missing
The movie was mediocre at best. The cinematography and music were great. The first few minutes had great tension.
Adam Bolin pretty much. The movie had a good tone and build up but never delivered . Moments of suspense were short and quickly followed by humor ..
Lmao the cat just chillin the entire time
Also the government made the clones she clearly said that
you didnt like mother or the witch so i figured this wasnt going to be to far off. still want to see it . I GOT FFFFIIIVVVEEE ON IT !!lol
The Witch is fucking great
I think you guys missed the ACTUAL twist. That's the reason you don't like it. The twist wasn't the clone swap ( that was extra and imo unnecessary) it's the fact that the whole movie is a parallel to the US government. The clones represent people of the poor class who are being dragged around by the ultra wealthy. The clones were created by the government. The wealthy basically feed off of them. "I suffer because of the way you live". Think about flint michigan and people being poisoned because some governor wanted to make more money. Or the opiod epidemic because pharmacies were trying to earn more. "You thrive by feeding us scraps". Thats why when they asked "WHAT are you people" Lupita the clone said "We're Americans"....also the little boy was a tether.
18:57 🤣😁😄😅ELEXA ABOUT TO SNITCH!!
The young boy was switched also if you follow the clues. He got switched when the grandma died. He wasn't talking or eating and saying new words. He got switched in the closet. That's why he popped the door opened with the toy ambulance. Then at the beach he wasn't making a sand castle he was making a tunnel.
Then how did the "real" boy w/ the burnt mouth just acclimate to the tethered family so easily if he JUST joined them? If he got switched only a few weeks ago he wouldnt had been so quick to follow their program and start killing people.
I don’t know if anyone has realized yet but remember when The Wilson’s first arrived to the beach? The guy who was at the boardwalk who was holding the sign when the real Adelaide passed him (Jeremiah 11:11) was killed? When Jason or the tethered version of him goes to the bathroom he sees the tethered version of the guy holding the Jeremiah verse sign posing in the American across the world t shirt pose waiting to lock hands. So what I’m getting at is that after the tethered kill they’re clones up top they come to complete the joining of hands. Also this explains the random attack of Red and the rest of the family’s doppelgängers. The mass attack was slowly starting.
Maybe I misunderstood "Reds" exposition. She was speaking
as if she was one of the tethered not the real Adeline. Again I could have missed something.... I didn't care for it. Loved "get out"!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Alexa really 'bout to call the police.
In my opinion I think they should have left it an open ending. For example the spinning top at the end of inception. That would have definitely sparked conversation. I’m not saying US isn’t sparking a conversation now.
Pluto is not a planet that’s the real Twist
That’s why this movie is great cuz it’s around throwing hints ,but everyone is so Focus on the mom story
Never go in with expectations
I disagree. Anytime you pay for any product you should have some kind of expectations. Now if you're disappointed then you should except it cause it happens sometimes but that don't mean you shouldn't have high expectations. I went to Olive Garden last month and ordered a dish i never ordered b4 and it wasn't good at all to me but i know Olive Garden has good food so of course i expected it to taste at least decent but it didn't but o well. Sh** happens
Bronco Sinclair okay
@@lekadanielle6400 🙏
Who else search the Bible verse Jeremiah 11:11 when they got home ? 😅
Hellz yeah me!✋
In an interview JP said part of it was about childhood trauma and how we as parents pass it on to our children when we don't deal with it. The movie is a metaphor for a lot of things going on in the American (i.e. Us=US, i.e. we're Americans) culture i.e hands across America was supposed to fix all the issues in one day but yet we're trying to live like the Jonses. Also mental health, when trauma causes mental health and we're supposed to act like everything is ok, when the mother said I just want my daughter back.
Y'all wasn't feeling this but y'all think Captain Marvel was good. Yeah, okay. 😒
Captain Marvel was a cinematic masterpiece compared to Us.
I liked both. I liked the first have of US more than the second though. I’d give it a 6.5 out of 10
They basically told you in the movie that this was government project go wrong.
It's funny, they kinda gave away the twist with that C.H.U.D. reference, didn't they? I've been watching 'C.H.U.D.' recently, and if you remember (if you've seen the movie, at some point in your life), the C.H.U.D.s there were created by the government, and what caused them was pretty much abandoned. In retrospect, seeing that cassette tape up on the shelf should have been a big clue as to what they were trying to tell us. :-P I can't believe I missed it.
It wasn't a govt. project gone wrong. In an interview JP said part of it was about childhood trauma and how we as parents pass it on to our children. The movie is a metaphor for a lot of things going on in the American (i.e. Us=US) culture
I liked you have look at the clues that's going on in the movie. That movie had different hidden meanings.
My take on it is this film is about upper class vs lower class. They figuratively live “under the poverty line” we’re the same people “us” but they don’t have the same things. They’re rising above and fighting. The white family was rich and comfortable. They gave up without a fight. If the plot twist at the end didn’t happen, the story would’ve had no heart. She went through all that to be on top in the world. It’s fucking great.
It's alright if you didn't like it, guys. I loved it, though, the third act worked for me. I'm a long time horror fan since childhood, and I would say you can call this a horror comedy masterpiece. It is very deep and there are many metaphors at play so you should definitely give it a few more viewings before deciding your final opinion because it might change how you feel about the ending, but for me it works on a literal level as well. It isn't the scariest, but it is beyond creepy and suspenseful, and so gorgeously rendered. It's a love letter to the horror genre, and I walked out of the theater with a huge smile on my face.
It’s almost like we anticipated that the Skrulls in Captain Marvel would be evil and in the film it was total opposite!!
The government made The clones. The daughter in the movie told her parents in the car that the government put things in the water some kind of chemical.
My ideas for alternate endings in short. Have the real Adelaide kill the shadow of herself and then she goes to the Wilson family and see if she would be accepted. Or have both Adelaide dress up exactly the same before the fight. Have one Adelaide die and the other live, the ending would keep the audience guessing by the boy’s expression in the ambulance when he looks at Adelaide.
I dont think the twist is the mom reveal...I'm thinking the twist is the son knowing that's not his mom with the way he was looking at her at the end
I just came back from seeing it, and I gotta admit, you were right.
I called the twist from the very beginning! As soon as the little girl went into the hall of mirrors, I *knew* what was going to happen! As I got more into it, I was hoping that I was wrong, and that they would go a different way with it. And then the ending came around, and it turns out I was right all along! God damn! I hate it when that happens!
It was competently scripted, for the most part, and M'Baku (Winston Duke) killed it as the father, and the kids were alright, but goddamn that ending. And the explanation they gave near the end about what was happening didn't really make sense. Meat puppets?!? WTF!
Honestly, I think they would have gotten a lot more mileage out of it had they gone with the alternate universe idea from the original Twilight Zone episode that inspired the movie, rather than them trying to do their own thing. When she went down into that area with the escalator, I was thinking, "This is it! This is where the portal is," or whatever the passageway was that led to another world...and no. That's not what's going on at all. It's actually something much more lame.
I only saw the first part of this review, before seeing it, a few days ago. So I pretty much went in clean as could be. But no, it's just not as major a deal, in the end. I guess we're supposed to interpret that she pretty much 'forgot' about her family, and started to believe she was a clone herself. And her plan, with that 'Hands across America' ending! What in the hell?! O_O I know there's all sorts of hidden meanings in it, and so forth. I'm not unaware of that; it's Jordan Peele. But the basic story, it's just...ugh. I'm just not impressed.
In the end, it just came down to another government project. They just looked goofy, too; doing that 'dancing', and standing there mimicking. And I didn't even overhype it, like other people; I was just hoping for a decent thriller, and horror movie. Which it is, in some ways. The movie is *good* at what it wants to do, sometimes, when it feels like it. But the basic premise...like you guys said, he's just capable of so much more. It's just lost potential. *shakes head* I think this is one of the longest comments I've ever left on one of you guys' reviews, and I know it's long af! You don't have to tell me that, RUclips! :-P But this movie...it's just...
That's just imo. I still support Peele, in anything he does. I'll see it again...with the commentary, when it comes out on Blu-ray. ;-D
The biggest twist is that the son was swapped. So the Pluto we saw was the actual son from the crazy Adelaide that swapped places with normal Adelaide. Literally the fire scene, she realized the truth right when he was snapping his fingers.
the real twist was the little boy was switched the year before and the fake mom finds out at the end thats why she smiled at the boy(jason) to let him know and why she screamed noo when the boy(pluto) was getting burned. basically jason really is pluto and pluto is really jason just traumatized.and all the kids were half clones and half real because the mothers were swapped and they can control each other who ever has more focus can take the wheel. you gotta watch it more than once to catch all the clues.
Jordan Peele is the new M Night Shyamalan, except his movies don't suck. Horror movie's are now more thought provoking, making you want to think once leaving the theater, instead of not wanting to leave the theater due to fear. As i said before the Exorcist is hands down the greatest horror movie of all time. An updated version was released in 2000 and think the theatrical release was 1973 and strikes fear. Pet cemetery looks promising.
Us is truly Unique and honestly I never even considered that the girls swithched places in the fun house and thats probaly because I didn't see any of the trailers i just heard it was by Jordan peele and knowing what I know now this movie just keeps getting better
Wtf were you expecting at the end? thanos to come out and snap his fingers? And all the doppelgängers disappear? 😂😂
LMAO.
i had high expectations and i regularly keep them low with movies but it passed them i just let it take me on a ride i was running the whole movie back in my head the rest of the night processing everything it was outstanding
love this respectful criticism though!i expected alot of criticism for this movie and this is way more fair than most of it definitely don't feel like it's greedy to ever want more from a movie and i'm happy you want to see it again and see it with different eyes now that you know i want to see it again too
for the questions i remember in this video-feeling like the original adison said something about the government making the shadowselves to try to control people's actions i can't remember exactly though
and the original adison most likely talked like that because she hasn't spoken to anybody since she was a baby
People who need a why and who did everything will not like this movie. The director wants "US" to think and talk more about the movie. Every movie wont give you an origin story.
I see where y'all coming from. So far everyone is like "oh this is so good" and "how can you not like it" but you guys give it perspective. In some ways I felt how you guys felt, like it left you unsatisfied. My thing is, I feel like it does it in a good way. Like the unanswered questions make it as creepy as it is. I appreciate what y'all had to offer
I'm guessing the rabbits were just the first test subjects of the clone process.
They choose to use rabbits cause they reproduce quick
Honestly I thought the twist was pretty good. Especially after you rewatch it and stuff starts to make more sense and add up.
YoungKushKaptain It doesn’t take a genius to see the twist coming from a mile away.
MrKrushgutz Did I say it took a genius? I said I thought it was pretty good.
I disagree here. I loved it. I have high expectations for avengers but I can guarantee you everyone will love it. You know? we shall see
A lot of people don't like it or was disappointed because they either don't get it or understand it, or it's not the average horror movie where as it explains the whole thing for you
It was just a bad movie. It happens. Everything this man creates (peele) will forever be connected to the hype and twist/thrill factor of get out
@@babakazi808 The main reason why the fans will hate on Us, it was overhyped with anticipation. But, the haters needs to rewatch this again. I've seen this twice and it was so damn good and so damn deep. Plus, it's one the those films that you can't blink and you miss and read the bible passage of Jeremiah 11:11 it symbolize and foreshadows the ending.
So you come on here a basically call everyone stupid and you so are so educated and enlightened? It's a f'n movie.
@@willt8848 I didn't say all dat, what i mean was the movie just went over some people head and they find it trashed because they didn't get it
The ending had a deeper meaning you know the hands across the America was a revolt they were revolting against the people who made them it had a way deeper meaning then what you're giving
I had the same exact reaction with the ending. I literally rolled my eyes, and said "I don't buy it"
Y'all tripping, that was the best movie of the year so far.
That's not saying much considering we're only 3 months in...
What I got out of the movie is that basically that red was Harriet Tubman trying to lead her people to freedom
The ending may have been anticlimactic, but I personally felt the movie as a whole was good. Just seeing the clones with those scissors made my skin crawl because I wasn’t sure how graphic Jordan Peele was gonna get with the kills and the torture. I’m sure he had deep meanings for everything including the ending, it’s just a matter of someone asking him in an interview.
Most of the reviews I've seen say the same thing you guys did. Kind of disappointing but I'll still go see it.
Woah! Look at that majestic creature resting on the shelf behind our boys! I am already interested in it more than I was in the movie. Jokes aside, I have heard creepypasta scarier than this film such as the Arkansas Experiment or the Russian Sleep Experiment.
Try watching the movie again because it’s trying to tell you that there is another tether living amongst the family
the film isnt about a twist. it gives you all the information to figure it out. And any film that relies on a end twist isnt good. Also knowing everything about the tethered makes them not as scary, fear of the unknown
"Alexa, call the police. ...Oh shit."
You can't be mad a movie ain't the movie you made up in your head.I was never bored.Once they come to the crib it's non stop
Just came from seeing the movie and I have a few thoughts on it. The Bible verse Jeremiah 11:11 makes a lot of sense now. I'd highly suggest people look it up. Also, the real reason i'm even posting this and hopefully Jordan Peele will answer this one day is When the real Adelaide confronts the Tethered version that everyone has been assuming up to this point is the real one that the government basically conducted an experiment and says a line about how basically the Tethered are 2 bodies with one soul and dies at the end does this mean her, The true Adelaide's, soul is free? At the end it seems like the son realized this as well when her whole mood changes and she smiles back at him.
This is how I felt about Get Out. I enjoyed it, didn’t love it. Really enjoyed Us. Thought it was a lot better personally.
When I got out the theater after watching it I was confused af so I was mad at the movie because of my confusion. But once I found some ending explained videos, it definitely filled some holes in my confusion. Now I honestly love this movie.
At first I thought that the clones were gonna be like aliens who look like them to take over the world. But I was wrong.
Not going to lie, I did see the main twist (didn't think about all the clones though), it did have a bit too many comedy lines, and they did make the dad a bit too goofy.... but I still fucking LOVED IT.
There's no deeper meaning, just a high tension horror thriller (ha). Not to mention, COMPETENT PROTAGONISTS. I can't tell you how much that makes this movie street's ahead of everything else.
When Twins had knocked over the sand and they asked Jordan what was your building and he said a tunnel then twins told his sister that your brother is weird
And I the song I got 5 on it chopped was creepy
This movie was fuckin awesome! It's better than Get Out! However I notice a lot of Millennials don't like it. It seems like its over their heads. Because many of the things referenced in the movie you HAVE TO BE over 35yrs old to understand their significance. "Hands across America" for example. So I understand why you guys don't get it. You're kids. You're a completely different generation.
Think about The best time to switch him out is when his grandmother died last summer it’s normal for a kid to act different
I saw it 3 times this weekend. This is a film that requires multiple viewings - I dont care how seasoned of a reviewer someone is, this film needs many viewings. EVERY issue you have is addressed in the film- including the reason they were created in the first place, by who and even why the project was abandoned. Watch it again and PAY. ATTENTION. TO EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. "RED" SAYS IN THIS FILM. Her voice was so wierd I think people were not listening to words. - they were listening- impressed/ freaked out/interested in Luputa's choice as an actress over the context of what Red was saying.
Those of us born before millenial (the 80s) are very aware (and get/got) the Hands Accross America bit. Plus it's spelled out in the film.
Real Adelyne had on a HAA teeshirt (which by the way, you received when you PARTICIPATED in it - there was no internet back then so anyone couldn't just order one online - you had to be there). So when the switch happened - real Adyline got the idea from what she remembers as a child on the surface world. Is it the "best" plan in the world? No, but hell - real Adylines education stopped when the switch happened so her mind is limited to that of a child.
The third act is fantastic - watch it again and LISTEN to every word! Jordan Peele is THAT filmmaker that he doesn't use pointless dialogue or actions - which is how I knew there was something up with this family from the trailers when Adyline: A. Had to teach her BLACK child rhythm👀 B. Her ass snapping on the 1 & 3 instead of the 2 & 4 😂😂 - I KNEW a black director (as smart as J.P) didn't put that in for nothing. I thought the twist (from the trailers) was going to be the entire family were clones and the real versions are coming to reclaim their lives - but it was just Adyline.
Just watch it again - LISTEN and let the movie wash over you - ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
People are use to gimmicks at the end of films and Peele delivered an actual story that makes people use their brains and people want all these concrete answers - nope 😂
The audience reviews are going to be divided. Those who like to be spoon fed their story and others who like to analyze. Neither one is wrong, but this movie is going to go over a lot of people’s heads. This movie is scaret than Get Out because it’s deeper than race or class he’s attacking and addressing human nature of survival and how we create societal structures and regulations to control and manipulate. If you noticed at the end the helicopters were still monitoring the uprising. That is why Adeline the tethered said to her tethered son Jason “Don’t worry things will go back to normal “because she recognized the powers that be (government) would control the new order which would be the tethered. It doesn’t matter that’s the darkness’s of human nature. The tethers share the same souls of their counterparts. They were stuck down below the sunken place/tunnels because of their mentality and brainwashing due to propaganda. It’s the nurture vs nature debate and at the end Adeline assimilated but could not change who she was. The Bible text of Jeremiah speaks of God sending a punishment for his children breaking their promises to him and serving their needs and other idols. We are a selfish, narcissistic country who worships technology and social constructs. We abandoned our fellow family for prosperity. We dehumanizined them and we’re desensitized to their suffering. In the Bible it talks about duality all the time, to thine own self be true, confess your sins, treat your neighbors the way you would treat yourselves. So in the context of this verse God states I will send a evil you cannot control, you will cry out and I will not hear you. Their is no greater evil then the evil and in dealt with trauma in ourselves. The true origins of horror comes from the very psychological trauma humans made explanations on how to deal with of life. Death, separation, fear, greed, jealousy, wrath all comes from the origins of horror to label the unexplainable and how it makes us face our mortality, flaws, and humanity or lack thereof. I believe Jordan Peele did this.
To me this movie sucked. It lost me pretty early on and didn't recover. and like they kind of mentioned by the time the twist came it was too late and wasn't as hard-hitting as it could have been. My main reasons off the top of my head are:
1.) They halfway explain what was going on with the tethered and it would have been a lot better if they didn't say where they came from in my opinion or if it was something else other than a government experiment. Like another dimension or something.
2.) The father's actions once the tethered family showed up we're just not realistic at all in my opinion and really took me out of the movie.
3.) Where TF did they get the outfits but more so than that all of those scissors. Were they also cloning Staples stores down there???
4.) Why was no one looking for a gun?
5.) Why would the real "mom" want to kill anyone other than her evil clone?
@@ewchino Thanks for taking the time to reply....
Re #5: The evil "real"one ( jacked up voice) had no reason to want to kill anyone other than her tethered. The girl was old enough at the time she was locked down there to wear as she wouldn't be that deranged.
Re #2: Like I said the father's actions really took me out of the movie I was all engaged until they made him into a ..... No father/husband would allow his wife and kids to take the risk they did and that was all i could focus on was his de-masculation. I realize not everyone will take that point of view but as a father and husband myself I just couldn't let it go.
@@ewchino yes I never said anything about that. I understand that's why her voice was jacked up I was just trying to clarify which girl i was referring to
This movie is a 5/10 for me... I did not even understand the story one bit.... I wanted to know where in the world all these clones were coming from and I should have understood on the first go... I did not have a clue what was going on in this... I give points to Lupita Nyong'o for her performance(s), she was impressive! The music was good, and the action was good, but I was LOST on everything else...
I think the ending was crazy I mean it wasn't that much action but the fact that they had all those clones and it looked almost look like all the clones across the state and all the people getting killed that was crazy
Lmao they sound so confused
Jordan Peele tried WAAAAAAY too hard with this one honestly, I didn't dislike it, but I wanted to love it.
Its a good movie with a great story. Except when the clone mother asked the doppleganger "what do you want?" like how does she not know. you literally kidnapped her and stole her life from her
Everybody pallet is different.
Like, before you get to the negatives, main one is: unanswered questions. So many unanswered questions.
Yeah, this movie was nowhere near as strong as Peele's debut.
Now I enjoyed the movie quite a lot I'm even rating this a good 8/10 but I understand why certain from people might be turned off by it. TBH it definitely needs a second viewing and also there are some great analysis vids out there that can help.
I felt the same way when I left the theater but when I got some time after I realized how crazy the whole movie actually is.
Knowing there’s a twist messes up the whole movie
1. THERE WAS NO PLOT. No goal or mission, just random scenes.
2. THE TETHERED SUCK. They are unintelligent meat bags, who are killed and act similar to zombies.
3. TWIST WAS UNECESSARY. What was wrong with soulless clones deciding they want to live as humans? The twist didn’t even make sense.
4. THE FILM DELIBERATELY MISLEAD TO MAKE MONEY. The trailers, interviews, and stories all sold us a lie. The real film abandons any complexity and is a rushed gorefest.
I think for some people they have to give it a minute to think about it for a while, which is what I did and it made the movie even better. I understand that some people don’t like it which is fine, but I think people won’t get the DEEP stuff and overlook it.
I love this because they literally said "People are gonna say we missed such and such" And the comment section is filled with people saying that they just don't understand the movie XD
Guys keep doing what you’re doing , its amazing to have your own opinion , and i see you with your new intro , its flames
The husband was really pissing me off with all of the dumb things he did that could have gotten his family killed. I know the wife was the lead in this movie but they made buddy such a huge pussy in this movie. When he got the bat taken from him I was shaking my got damn head. Then he fell off the boat after knocking his clone off the boat, smh again. Then he lead his friends clone on to the yacht to fire a flare and missed, I wanted his character to die at that point. Damn they made him the biggest clown ever to survive in a horror movie.
I enjoyed this film but ultimately felt like the payoff didn't add up. What would've been a better ending is if Red wanted to take back her place in Adelaide's life. If she manipulated all the other tethered to do her dirty work so she can get to Adelaide and her family and kill Adelaide to take her place.
She stayed bc her real son had been switched also. Remember, the boy's mouth was burned off so he couldn't speak....tethered to playing with matches. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Kyla Carbert then how can the clone boy speak?
@@3rdcoastbornandraise779 From what I read, he was switched a while ago. I will have to watch again to get it but supposedly that was why the boy was able to control the tethered version of himself to walk backward and why he talked funny and had to be taught to keep the beat. That is the theory anyway.
@@3rdcoastbornandraise779 Remember his dad was saying he was acting funny ever since the grandma's funeral the year before. Another thing was weird, when he was building a tunnel in the sand instead of a castle or animal or whatever. Also, his dad asked him where he learned new words and such and his sister talking about being lost in that two way closet.
I like the movie a lot, it works on multiple levels see the reddit conversation
Verbal Hologram ( Vinnie Paz ) :
" Be aware of the ancient world wide tunnel system the government is running "

Watch the beginning of the movie ;)
This movie had some issues as most movies do when you break it down from a logical perspective. But I believe most of those who were disappointed were so because of their own expectations not because of anything the movie promised. I don’t recall seeing a trailer with a voice over stating something like “this movie’s ending is a must see to believe”. There wasn’t any over the top ad campaign for this. Peele is guilty of one thing...having a deep well received first film. Now everything has to be on that level or its horrible 😂. Sounds like the M Night Shyamalan effect. These directors are human too. In this day and age it’s hard to have something be original, with a great unseen twist and remain logical. Also, wanting answers for everything is a little ridiculous. There would need to be an entire movie to explain the “Tunnel World” and how it was built. Maybe that could be a prequel. It’s like wanting an explanation for how Darth Vader became XXXX’s father all in the Empire Strikes Back. And finally expecting the Red to act logically after being kidnapped at such a young age and then living with the crazy duplicates for so long is absurd. Again, this movie had plenty of issues but we the audience and our expectations are a large part of the problem.
Only thing that bothered me was the "get in rhythm" scene in the car when she was snapping off beat lmaooo I was so confused
I agree with you guys expectations were higher than what the movie delivered. In the end it felt like an extended twilight zone episode. And Jordan Peele has the new twilight zone series coming out soon. Hmmmmmmm...
