Us (Jordan Peele, March 22, 2019) Movie • Page 21

Like some Jerry springer shit

 

This is a huge miss and completely ignores more compelling motivations in order to keep a last second reveal intact that isn't even good. So much bullshit is crammed in to give Red this weird convoluted motivation, when a much more satisfying movie would reveal the switch way earlier and explore the emotional impact of taking one's place, not knowing if you belong, not knowing who your family is, etc. etc.

So many decisions don't make any sense knowing the reveal, could have been an entirely different more satisfying film with some minor adjustments.

 

the twist is too Twilight Zoney

 

I just watched this for the first time and started reading through this thread and it’s wild the difference in reaction between the first few pages and the last couple. I really liked it!

 

The movie is good, folks

 

Lots to like, but it’s got some pretty big problems

 

Haven't seen it since the theaters, but my impression was that it collapses under its own logic. That said, it's pretty ambitious and very well-acted. There's a ton to appreciate about it.

 

oh shit

 

threepeat incoming, but y'all knew that

 

ahhh

 

I've seen rumors that he's working on a classic universal monster film remake

Hmmm. Wonder where this is gonna go

 

Also K&P reruns on right now and goddamn I wish they'd reunite to do like 6 episode runs every year or two.

 

I just want to see Peele in a comedy again, his VO in Big Mouth isn't enough

 

Yeah there were a few moments where I was reminded of the tethered during that halftime show haha

 

I was between Us and the white gasmask skin from Call of Duty Warzone lol

 

I look exactly like Peele after reading that headline.

 

keke palmer in it too

 

Hopefully it’s better than this one

 

agreed, because then it’d REALLY be great
