- We've discussed Us and now it's time to dive deep into spoiler territory. What did I specifically like and what were those explanations in the 3rd act that sent me on a tirade?

Before I get an onslaught of corrections, IM FULLY AWARE THEY SUGGEST ADELAIDE HAD HER THROAT INJURED. She spoke just fine only muffled so theres still no sense to me why there was no vocal communication.
Haha caught it
Cody Leach Your rant is totally worth the third act not making sense😂😂😂
Pointless movie
Well she can't speak when she was llitte because she wasn't the real person. But the longer she was on the surface and her lungs I used to breathe in the fresh oxygen that's how she was able to learn and speak by watching impatiently letting her lungs build up to talk.. And since her son was part a shadow person he could mimic and control his doppelganger he was learning that and looking and paying attention when it was in the closet that's how you know it was a trap and that's why read tell them don't burn the house down because she knew he knew how to play with matches or fire whatever. I don't know Cody I'm just trying to make sense of it all. But I think that she was down there for so long that she was just adjusting to that life
Cody Leach just imagine being placed somewhere unfamiliar. None of the people down there spoke so she had to adapt and learn. Im sure she was traumatized..
Pluto probably just mimics him bc he’s a child and sees it as a game?
Lupita couldn’t control Red because Red is not a tethered. Also, Red explains why they didn’t kill them fast like the others. She wanted to make them suffer.
but why was Red compelled to do whatever the doppelganger did, even though she was the original?
@@EezeeGroover maybe because she was up top
Hey if 1000s of Fraggles can live in underground tunnels without us knowing, why can't the doppelgangers do it?
It's the #fragglerocktheory 😂
He wasn't controlling him. The boy was just mimicking him.
I completly agree with you i was loving this movie so much until the 3rd act where nothing made actual sense my brain couldnt wrap around anything
I thought people saw that “Adelaide” was actually the REAL Red this entire time because, in that mirror house, she switched places with the real Adelaide and lived HER life-so the entire time we’re following Red as the protagonist (even though she’s the tethered person) and the supposed antagonist is Adelaide...who we all thought was Red.
That means the kids “Adelaide” had with Gabe are half tethered, hence why her son could control his clone and make him walk into the fire. Aside from that, this movie has a lot of symbolism and metaphors that require a second watch to understand fully.
I really dont think one person would be able go teach thousands of feral people to talk, that's just way to much when you are child with a limited vocabulary already. Also the shadow version of her was already more aware than the others and coming into the world where everyone speaks, she learned the way a toddler would.
Chris Morgue HE HAS NO COMMON SENSE
The real mother (who was left with the clones) speaks all fucked up like she does, because clone mother strangled her as a little girl, I assume crushing her voice box. That's what I got from it, anyway. I knew it was probably going to be a twist, but I didn't feel like the opening scene gave it away, because it could've just been important for showing why the mother was always so worried about her children going missing. It didn't necessarily mean they switched.
xxoxia Exactly. Both of these reviews are pure hate. It seems like it genuinely kills you to compliment Jordan Peele. But to each his own. I thought this shit was dope, and better than 90% of horror films coming out now day. Use your imagination man. That shit would change you forever. Really thinking about some shit like that happening, even the possibility is terrifying as fuck.
"I'll put 5 on it"
Cody, no! 😢
Good review Cody.I agree with you about the third act.Makes no sense if you stop and think about all those things you mentioned.I know I would.It would annoy me no end.
Both Red and Adie have some control themselves. The underworld is like a parallel dimension. I think one if the Tethered got the uniforms Abe the scissors from the above world. You are supposed to see that final twist coming . It is suppose to put you in her eyes, in her perspective. Red may have tried to get out but by the time she got out her Mother and father left her not realizing their daughter was left behind.
I have to disagree. I was ecstatic when it DIDN'T turn into just a home invasion movie and it got even better when the rich friends' family were brutally murdered by their own Tethered family. I highly enjoyed "Us" and I prefer it over "Get Out".
Fair enough
So your main problem with the movie are logical issues? I definitely agree but it didnt annoy me as much as it annoyed you. Us felt like an episode of The Twilight Zone. Logically it makes no sense but its still good in every other way.
i really liked the twist. I didnt see it coming. Looking back at it now i dont know how i didnt see it. I gave it 4 out of 5. I perfer this to Get Out.
Glad you liked it. Totally different experience for me.
Cody Leach Maybe it’s not the Movies Logic that is bad. ITS YOURS
@@littv1610 it must be hard to be this stupid please answer anything he pointed out about this movie
@@littv1610 Damn calm down it's his opinion. If you love the movie then cool, but he didn't and that was his opinion. He told this person that he was glad he liked the movie it's not like he can't stand people who like the film. Also yeah I know this was a year ago, but I don't care man
@@gabrill2042 Lol who said I had a problem with the man ? His Opinion is the movie is bad, and mine is his Logic is bad. My opinion
Imagine what the boy feels after being in that underworld. He may know that his mother is not who he thinks she is,
I agree with most of what Cody is saying but I wanted to clear up that apparently the original Lupita’s larynx was crushed by the doppelgänger and that’s why she couldn’t fully speak anymore and hence, probably couldn’t teach the others to speak
Yeah they kind of pointed it in that direction for sure but she still talked just fine it was only muffled so it still didnt add up for me.
Agreed. Overall, the explanations and answers didn’t satisfy the questions the movie asked.
Her voice probably sounded like that from not using it anymore. It was probably also like a mirror effect to how the mom learned English but still had glimpses of her old "language" at points where red might have learned the screeching language but deep down still knew English
I enjoyed the movie. I don’t think it was as clever as Get Out thought. It seemed to make a lot of plot conveniences, and sacrifice “sense”
Just saw this today. Finally refreshing for someone to pick up on all this stuff in 3rd act which makes no sense. I agree with everything you said and you did not even get to all the other Easter eggs which were in the film that really need not be there. Also all the other films directors etc..... he pulled into this film.
I agree with everything you said about Us and espically the ending. I think the ending should have been more ambiguous. When the mother kills red she lets out a primal guttural scream and her son looks very shaken by this. Then when they are in the car and the boy and his mother look at each other he gives her this i know who you really are look. Then we as the audience would be left to question , well because the mother killed her doppelgänger did she absorb her and now is evil or when she was a little girl did the doppelgänger switch places with her. We would be debating the ending for years and years.
“ Get Out” & “US” are both amazing films & Jordan Peele is a beast, a legend in the making💯🔥
Us is not good to me
Spenser Cruz you are entitled to your own opinion 😉
you hunted down a Bad review of "Us" just to post this didnt you? not cool
SuperHDJ no I stated my opinion like you are stating yours 😉🤗 I love Cody’s channel that’s why I’m subscribed to it, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything he says. I loved Jordan Peele “US” & will continue to😘 now you go & be great.
@@LpCruz11937 yeah I would probably give it a 5/10
from u/JJoker1117 On Reddit:
Okay. Jordan Peele has said before that GET OUT was a "social horror" where the underlying theme of racial tensions is what drives the film. He's said that he wants to do a whole series of these, and this is most likely the second. I've only seen the movie once and I've been stewing about it for an hour, and this is just my opinion, but I think the underlying theme is poverty.
The copies live underground, near or in the sewers.
Red mentions that they eat cold, raw rabbit, they don't have good quality of life, and everyone on the surface takes what they have for granted. (Red would know, she once had these things).
The copies are the impoverished, the lowest class.
Then we have Adelaide's family. They have what appears to be a vacation home, but they also don't have top of the line stuff. They remark that their friends have better boats, cars, etc. They have enough. They are the middle class.
The friends are the upper class. They have the nicest home, newest technology, etc. BUT they all hate each other. They drink all day. They barely talk to one another. They're comfortable. That's why they die without a fight.
The middle class fights because they're forced to. They're being challenged.
The lowest class fights because they HAVE to. Something's gotta give. It's not just one family. It's an entire population that needs to help each other out from one end of the nation to the other.
The cherry on top is Adelaide. She rose up from the lower class (through devious means) and fights tooth and nail to protect her rung on the totem pole, but she also sympathizes with the copied kids who die. She takes pity on them. She sees herself in them, they're just trying to do what she succeeded in.
Oh I totally get that. The metaphors and the overlying message was certainly hard to miss I just felt the surface level plot crumbles to make the metaphors work.
Cody Leach yeah I get it. Peele being a big Twilight Zone guy, and old school horror fan, I can understand that he went for message and story over logistics which is completely fine with me because I really hate that we live in the day and age that we have to Fucking dissect every single frame and plot inconsistency in movies these days. Nobody cared why the creature at 20,000 feet was able to stay on the plane wing, it was just a creepy ass episode. We need to stop worrying about every little thing, no movie is ever gonna be perfect, and I’m guilty of this too because I let it ruin Halloween 2018 for me. I went into this basically blind and I was obsessed with it when I left. That’s how we need to get back to.
@@notori0uszig But that mentality doesnt work when the movie goes out of it's way to TRY to explain so much and fails. We never bitched about the Creature at 20,000 feet because it never bothers with trying to explain anything it just presents the scenario and leaves it. Huge difference.
Cody Leach I think the idea and story was great, everything about the premise and the message, but you’re right it seemed a little like he wrote himself into a corner and didn’t really have the exit to explain it. The outfits and the scissors and shit got me too, there was no reason how they even survived down there and why they existed and who was behind it, plus the logistics of TRAVEL. What if I moved from NJ to Idaho. Would my clone have to follow me? How the fuck would it even get there. There were a lot of things wrong, 100% with you on that, but the score, directing, and the acting helped me look passed it. It was an enjoyable movie and it never dragged, straight up suspense. I think his next one is gonna be great, but Get Out was a near perfect first outing, hard to top it. Peele tho is a great breath of fresh air for the horror genre and really came out of nowhere
One detail that I haven't heard anyone talk about is the son, Jason always wearing a mask over his head - similar to Jason Voorhees, son of Mrs Voorhees who was the original killer/evil in Friday the 13th - just like we find out adelaide was the original mom/evil from underground.. I know that one might be a bit of a stretch but if you think about it a slasher nod like this from peele makes sense!
Thanks for the awesome breakdown so soon after the movie was released!! You touched on many details that alot of people missed, I can't wait to watch it again to look for all of the Easter eggs and see the movie from "red's" perspective a bit more.
Love your reviews man, been here sense you calibrated with Robert Storms a couple years ago, keep it up. Anyway, I'm glad we agree on the ending, it was very tact on imo.
Thanks man
This spoiler review is right on POINT
Thank you
Only thing good about this movie was lupita nyong'o performance
BOOM
@@Racketeering248 ROASTED
Nahh... there is a lot more to like about it
Great review, Cody. That are getting better and better.
Love this video man, awesome!
I agree with a lot of your takes and critiques. Even tho the “switch” element was set up with that first scene, I was hoping thru the entire film they weren’t gonna do that. It was too obvious of a “shocker” considering the premise.
Great review and spot on. I personally liked the movie just enough but all the issues you brought up really brought the movie down and many of which just didn't make sense.
Movie wasn't that good. It was scary at first, but none of the plot made sense lol.
True
This movie was pretty good but you're right. The third acts excicution was pretty bad. I might re-watch this movie too to see if I missed anything else and do a re-visited.
A question I have is, how did the doppelgänger even know she’s a doppelgänger. If she can’t speak, who would even explain that to her? I also didn’t notice any mirrors. How did she know she was looking at herself?
Great review, Cody! Overall, I enjoyed the movie and have been thinking about it since I left the theater. There are a lot of assumptions that I found myself making for the things that weren’t quite logical. I assumed the tethered were given the scissors to help with the bunny eating. (Which by the way 😱). Also assumed there had to be something that prevented them from escaping the tunnels, though we’re never given any indication of what. I shouldn’t have to fill in so many blanks as the viewer. There were a lot of unanswered questions and conveniences that kept the movie from being as strong as it could have been. And although I guessed the twist from the beginning too, I actually liked that aspect of the story.
Yeah I enjoy filling in blanks when the story calls for it but this movie just doesnt bother itself with logic.
Sounds like I need to check this movie out thanks Cody for what you do. Can't wait for the new Pet Sematary comes out.
Just bought this movie on DVD the other day and really enjoyed it. Such an insane concept that has you imagining the possibilities.
I totally agree with you, all the problems you have I also had. Another thing I thought of, they said the tethered had no soul and that's why they were killers, but Lupita seemed to be a very caring person, so where did she get her soul? Good video Cody.
Its subtext on nature vs nurture. Commenting on the lower class are treated as criminals when the upper class aren't only because of their circumstances.
@@CodyLeachYT Okay, that makes sense. Thanks Cody.
I went to see this movie with a group of 7 of my friends....I was surprised after the film when I found out that I was the only one that saw that final twist coming lol.
Hmmm “Get Out”’s final act confused me too.....I think I need a rewatch. I remember not being overly impressed with it but I do want to try again. And I want to give this one a chance.
Jordan Peele is becoming like M Night Shyamalan with all these plot twist in his movies
I usually agree with ya Cody but not on this one, so when Adelaide first saw her doppelgänger she got her throat crushed and was dragged unconsciously through the tunnels and then handcuffed to the bed. So imagine that, young Adelaide wakes up unable to speak, handcuffed to a bed and seeing an exact copy of herself. Who knows how long she was handcuffed to that bed, and it probably took her a long time to recover from her throat injury. But great review, you kept it real, that’s why I love your channel. ✊🏼
My thoughts exactly. I dont think this is the movie for people looking for perfect logic and all the answers to the back story. Everything isnt for everyone.
I agree with most of your criticisms, even though the film overall worked much better for me than Get Out did (in this case, the problem areas were mostly confined, as you pointed out, to the final act, as opposed to being scattered throughout).
As for the opening, I wonder if that was studio-imposed because they worried that audiences might not understand the premise: 1998's Dark City also essentially gave the game away with a bit of opening narration in its theatrical release for that very reason.
I agree with you bud!
So glad to see that you pay attention to logic issues in movies like myself
I’m disappointed in this review. But that’s alright you’re still phenomenal. I just believe with all Horror films, even slasher, that simple decision making by competent human beings can change the entire landscape of the film. Nevertheless we accept it. This is an ambitious and mostly coherent story. I just feel this genre has the most flexibility in its story.
Yep! Nailed it mate!
I love you
Just saw this yesterday. Halfway through it began to remind me of an old Simpsons Halloween episode involving Bart having an evil twin being kept secretly in the attic for years. The end revealed that the “evil Bart” was the original Bart and they had at one point switched and low and behold this happened to be the same plot twist for the movie. This in part ruined the experience for me because it didn’t feel like an original idea. However I’m sure the Simpsons got this plot from somewhere as well but whatever. It was also extremely farfetched with too much humor in inappropriate places (like in the new Halloween). Get Out was much better and more unsettling in my opinion.
I have 1 theory on why the real Adelaide didn't taught them to speak. She mentioned that all the Doppelgänger saw her as unique and treated her as such so she acknowledged it and took advantage NOT to teach them how to speak and not to share her knowledge and knowledge is power. The real Adelaide had a lust for power and wanted to control a whole army of dumb Doppelgängers to change america while her Doppelgänger would kill for living the good live. The message; Every human has his own desires Correct me if i am wrong thx
It's possible. Still have issues with how shes able to organize this huge plan with no communication but that's at least a theory.
@@CodyLeachYT same here, i read many praising comments about J.Peele beeing a genius and that "Us" is a masterpiece at its finest. But to be honest a "masterpiece" should not contain any plot holes like where did the Doppelgängers get their red jumpsuits? Where did they get the scissors? The underground was deserted by the government how come it looks so clean and tidy? Unless there are no answers to that "Us" can't be called a masterpiece. For now it can be a called horror-fantasy blockbuster
Cody Leach What? What do you mean they don’t have their own way of communication, you do know that there’s many other forms of communication instead of oral communication right?
Solid points you made. I agree
I think where this movie gets so much love from me is that it played on my completely unrealistic fear of doppelgängers. Don’t come at me. Everyone has their things 😂 I’ve been terrified of the thought of finding a “me” since I was like 8? So to watch a movie that actually played on that was unnerving on so many levels, there’s not another one like it. The part where she finds her at the carnival in the very beginning made my stomach flip, something not a lot of movies do. Aside from that concept alone, I found myself balls deep in Reddit discussions right after the movie trying to find explanations for the 700,000 loopholes and why the fucks. I thought you were going to break my heart with this review bc overall I did enjoy it, but as usual we’re on the same page!
Couldn't agree more. I was hoping for more of the home invasion elements and wished it was more of an isolated incident
Red had her voice box damaged when the tethered girl choked her.
your whole argument reminds me of Orwell's 1984. Winston's walking around for the most part of the book wondering why the proles don't just revolt. It's not that easy mate.
I'm really glad i watched this review. I really didn't get the hype around "Get Out", it was creepy, but had so many plot holes and completely fell apart in the 3rd act. On the other hand, I was really looking forward to "Us", trailer looked great, but glad it's been spoiled that the 3rd act was crappy again, so I don't have to bother watching it. I've seen it with several writers/directors, that they have a good premise for a creepy story, but no idea how to end it, and then it all just falls apart at the end.
I enjoyed this movie so much. I took a lot of things from this. Why was Jason able to control Pluto and the others weren't? Jason/Pluto are the youngest of everyone else so there connection is unique. Why The Wilsons weren't killed off immediately? two reasons. 1 Red being the Original and Leader of the tethered they followed her orders. 2. The Wilsons were on guard while everyone else was caught off guard.
I laughed out loud when the doppelganger of lupita nyungo first started talking. The voice caught me off guard 😂😂
I’m pretty sure they explain why they spend so much time killing Lupita’s family. Lupita’s red character has a line where she mentions that they’ve waited so long to do this, so her and her children were going to take their time. She knows that her life was taken away so she has an actual vendetta against Lupita and her seemingly perfect family whereas Elizabeth Moss’s doppelgängers (as well as the rest of the world) were all only there to kill, and that was their only goal. That’s just my take on it
@codyleach Does almost remind you of as above so below? A twisted version of Dante's Inferno the mirror image of everything? Plus, I do agree with you the opening of the movie gave it away for me
okay i loved this movie, but i fully acknowledge the flaws & you’re just so damn entertaining to listen to 😂
Haha thank you
Pay attention. At some point Jason the little boy was switched out. Not during this movie, but on a previous family vacation to the same place. At the beginning he's using different vocabulary that the family is unfamiliar with, as if he had just learned his own language... Also he thinks he remembers a magic trick but doesnt remember what it does... Closet scene, Red Jason shows him how to do it. Than him and his mom give that look to each other as if saying "we made it out" to each other. At the beach, he's not making a sand castle like every other kid would, he's building a tunnel cause he grew up in one
No he wasnt. I've heard all about that theory and I dont buy it at all.
i like this review you did, you're funny.
I had the same questions about this movie but the podcast review for the channel Dead Meat was a huge help. Really helped to understand the underlying subtext and the meaning of their outfits, etc. I completely agree with your review but the other helps 🙂
Cody knows best about horror!
Main problems I have with US
Spoilers warning
1.Hearing the dad's shadow talk was laughable, and took tension away.
2. How come the shadows only mimic the people's movements when the plot demands it
3. I didn't think the twist was good at all. Felt like a bad M. Night Shyamalan twist.
4. 1 family can kill 8 shadows, but the rest of the world gets rekt
5. A better way to show that twist would have been for RED to force Lupita nyong'o to move, the. Not A stupid flashback.
Exactly
I like the movie, Get Out was good, and US was good as well, we need a fresh take on Horror, or scary, plus, it kind of reminds me of a Twilight Zone series, Jordan Peele knocks it out of the park , and that's two for two, not bad , cant please everyone, after I watched it yesterday, I knew alot of people would have problem with parts of the movie, 70 million it made over the weekend, not bad for a New movie, that's pretty dang good, although it's not a.movie for everyone, but I enjoyed it, but I still understand why some won't like it, IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!
Two words...spot on. I really didn't get into the movie until the family in the house was killed. I wasn't sure if the movie was intentionally creepy and or just silly at times.
What is the brand of the scissors used in the movie, and what seems to be the same you're holding in the thumbnail?
Photoshop Inc.
12:10 IM DYING
I don't understand why Cody wants explanations for everything that happens in this movie, but totally accepts the Marvel universe, which is by far the worst movies ever created on earth.(Ok, I may be alone in that opinion LOL) After thinking about it, I realized Cody must be a huge Stephen King fan. Stephen King explains EVERYTHING from every tiny detail in his books. In fact the biggest complaint about King stories is how he spends 5 pages explaining what the buttons on a shirt look like and why they are round. Anyway, this was left open for a part 2. I doubt anything will get explained more since Peele said he left everything open to interpretation for us, which is kinda lazy screen writing IMO. I find it simple to write a story with open-ends, cause you don't have to come full circle. I'm still not convinced Peele is the next great hope for Horror films. Though I did like this one more than Get Out.
No spoilers yet. I’ll check this out later
I agree with all of your points here.
Ultimately, the movie did not live up to the hype I felt when I saw the trailers. Mainly BECAUSE I saw the trailers. THE TRAILER shows her doppelganger grabbing her, but the movie cuts that part away in the 1st encounter. In doing so, made me expect to see that scene at the end, ruining the entire twist. The movie was going to be about clones or a parallel universe right out the gate. If at the end however, you found out that the doppelgangers were aliens sent down, mimicking and blending in to take over the earth, then I wouldn't have expected it. But, the trailers completely ruined the experience and outted the twist for me after watching the first 15 minutes of the movie.
Maybe I've seen too many movies.
Literally all the problems I had you mentioned 😅. I've had people telling me "oh but you're using real world logic" well yeah why wouldn't I? "Oh but the underlying message so the logic doesn't matter" yes it fucking does! I don't care what message your trying to tell, I can suspend my believe but if it completely destroys logic it completely takes you out of the movie! I'd be fine with it if it was restricted to just that ONE area but not the entire fucking country! Peele went for broke and ended up Shylamalaning it in a bad way "What A Twist!" 🤦♂️
Preach
I don't think the kid had any control over the other kid, he was simply mimicking actions. Pluto seemed to be more feral than the rest of the family, and less mentally developed.
HOW THEY NOT GETTING SICK FRON EATING RABBITS?
Pretty easy to understand from my perspective,
1. Where did the clones, and clothes come from? The government
2. Why didn't they kill the clones after failing the experiment? Because it's America and we're fucking lazy.
3. Reason Red didn't kill Adeline's family instantly? Because Adeline stole Red's life, so Red wants to take her time killing her
4. Why did Pluto mimic Jason? Because kid's love to do and mimic what they see aka a father and son
5.Why can't Adeline talk normal? The dopple broke her larix if that's the question
I guess his films are going to get different opinions from the horror community in major ways. I saw the film with a friend and we had completely different thoughts for the film at the end. My friend loved the whole film but I agree with your thoughts on it Cody. The first half of the film was great and I think if it had been more focused on something like how the Strangers were with being a much smaller scope movie, then it would have been better over all.
If it was smaller scope and didn't go so huge in the 3rd act it wouldve been brilliant
I’m really stupid lol and never thought about the twist till last 5 minutes
She didn't feel like being the language teacher to the million tethered hands of America..lol. apparently she enjoyed rabbits that's why she didn't leave. It's obvious! Lol. What up Cody!?
Haha that's it! You cracked the code
Are you gonna do a review on the dirt?
I basically understand this movie and Jordan Peele's Us could really warrant a podcast
The postman delivers another cracking review, completely agree Cody this lost it way towards the end of the movie.
Your breakdown of the plot holes like the jumpsuits, gloves & scissors had me in a fit of hysterics, classic Cody rant.
Timelord 007 They got the jumpsuits, the scissors and gloves from their experiment with the government😑
I really loved this movie but I'm surprised to say I figured out the twist within 20 minutes lol I was impressed because I don't normally see twists coming but disappointed because of how predictable the ending was. Great movie though.
To your gripe about her losing her language skills, my wife had to explain to me that she lost her ability to cultivate her language and practically became feral but I had the same beef
Yeah...the third act was pretty bad. I would've thought it better if the Tethered were from a parallel dimension. Rather than go with the cloning nonsense, by explaining that the Tethered were unearthly, it would not only make them mysterious enigmas, but it'd solve a lot of the holes in the film.
That's what I was thinking! Like some sort of parrell dimension would have made more sense. So far get out still holds the crown.
@Undead zombie: When had criticizing a movie equal to whining? I liked the movie, but I felt that the Tethered should've went unanswered. Jordan Peele just didn't seem to know what he wanted when making these monsters. If complaining about the missed potential of a movie is complaining, kindly fuck off.
@Undead zombie: No. I have the right to criticize the movie for framing itself in a way that welcomes criticism.
"Stop whinning and get over it!" say that to the ungreatful moviegoers who diss a movie without even seeing it or have saw it and find excuses to bash it. At least Cody is being honest. This and Holloween 2018 were sadly somewhat of disappointments but the naysayers are trying to make them out to be bad films and they're not. Have millienals become ungrateful or something?
@@03bgood Holloween? Dude, it's HALLOWEEN.
glad i watched this, the way it sounds I wouldve liked to see the governments side in the making of the tethered
I bet it was Super Easy Barely an Inconvenience 😉😁!
When she was choked out by her doppelgänger as a kid her larinax was crushed causing her voice to turn that way
Hi Cody! I don't understand all the positive reviews. I just came home from seeing it and yikes, I was so disappointed. Nothing made sense in this movie and it seemed unintentionally funny at times. I was squirming feom boredom and at the end ughh the twist was so bland and witless.
Jason knows the truth about his mother. Now he may not be able to trust his mother ever again.
Meh....the only explanation would be that switching worlds (especially at that young age) twists your mind and forces you to adapt to your new life. Wouldn't exactly be the first time a movie throws its logical consistency in the blender just to have a big shiny, memorable twist at the end.
After Get Out I was very excited to see what Peele was gonna do next. I had the same reaction to the finale of Us. It totally fell apart for me. It was a complete misfire in storytelling. NONE of the ending worked for me. It’s frustrating to watch because I think the idea behind it is solid but the way it all develops and unfolds in the end took me completely out of the movie. The entire last act of this film is an infinite collection of plot holes. I still appreciate Peele as a filmmaker and I think he has a great future ahead of him but this one fell flat.
I’m so glad I saw your review with the other so many good reviews I thought I was the crazy one because I thought US trash everything you said I feel way I haven’t seen a film in a long time that doesn’t mean any sense like this film was I think Jordan P. Overthinking the story trying to show how creative he is after Get Out he must feel he has a lot to prove something IDK all I know is this film so far is the most disappointing film I’ve seen this year.
Somehow u can get all this shit, Why are you downstairs suffering, eating raw rabbits! 😂😂😂
Hahaha
He wasn't controlling Pluto. Pluto, who is more of a pet than a child, was just mimicking his double out of fascination.
Red also described her and Adelaide as special. The tethered also weren't unable to talk, they were just unable to speak English. They had their own language. And this wasn't explicit, but I assume some sort of uprising took place, which could've been hinted at by all of the rabbits that were roaming free. And its fucking sci-fi horror. Logic isn't a necessity.
Like why the fuck would she spend her time teaching them english when they are all fluent in a common language that nobody else knows?
Science "fiction" is and always will be rooted in reality and real world logic...that's kind of the point.
Is it fair to say the only likeable characters in the whole movie were Red and the dad Abe?
Saw this tonight and I'm not gonna lie; I enjoyed it, but the 3rd act was kinda "meh" and prevented it from being an amazing horror film. This film reminds me of films like The 6th Day and The Island.
You forget about how the real girl all of a sudden has to do whatever the doppelganger does, as if there's some kind of environmental magic in the underground that compels whoever is down there regardless of if they are from the surface or not.
Anyone else catch the C.H.U.D VHS at the beginning of the movie ?
I like that he left a lot of stuff for interpretation, not everything needs to be explained because it can take away from the overall messages. It’s obvious that they got the clothes, scissors, and gloves from their experiments with the government, I’m pretty sure the government tried to teach them how to control the person they were tethered to before just abandoning them. I think us talking about the logistics of it all takes away from the real important conversation we should be having on the social and political commentary the movie conveyed, I don’t understand why where the doppelgängers got the suits and scissors from matters? When if you really think about it you could make all of what seems like plot holes make sense with your own common sense. Maybe it’s Jordan’s fault for thinking viewers were smart enough to figure some stuff out on their own but unfortunately nowadays people like you want everything spoon fed to them like a little baby who can’t do anything by themselves.
calm down man, I know I'm a year late but, all reviews of things like films are objective, just because he has a different opinion doesn't mean it's wrong and he's stupid. It's an opinion
I actually enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would, I was one of the few people who didn’t see this twist coming until a nanosecond before it was revealed and I loved the way it made me feel guilty that I was actually routing for the wrong person
But yeah I do agree with the point of: Why didn’t she just walk the fuck back out after she was taken?
On paper the twist is brilliant just a very shaky execution
Cody Leach totally agree 👍
Also thanks for the reply, always enjoy your reviews
Mike Dearing Because being tethered is like mind slavery. Being down there means you consciously have no choice but to act out the actions of the person you’re tethered to. She was no longer in control so she just couldn’t leave and walk out. Especially when the clone was able to escape because the real Adelaide led her there with her own actions, the clone obviously wouldn’t do that so Adelaide had to stay under there.
You were routing for the wrong person? I think you mean you were ROOTING for the wrong person ;-).
Dan Maler oh shit you’re right, damn, I always try to be so precise with my spelling
You missing the whole point of there's an invisible class of people there are people that don't even recognize that there are homeless people on the street oh poor people with no food you go through your life and you don't even realize that there are people suffering that was the point
He wasn't controlling him he just put his hands up and started walking backwards in the doppelganger did the same thing there was no mind control you never seen somebody that if you look at them and scratch your eyebrows they do the same thing they can't control themselves
