In 2015 my son insisted we watch Brendan Fraser 'comedy' Furry Vengeance (2010). I forgave him. Eventually. Today he suggested we go see Nope. It's going to be a long time before I am able to let this one go. Directed by Jordan Peele, Nope is without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen at the cinema in almost fifty years of movie-going, and quite possibly the most tedious movie I have seen, period.
The plot is disjointed and repetitive with many scenes making very little sense, the pacing is incredibly slow, and the characters are hugely irritating (Keke Palmer and Michael Wincott were awful, and Stephen Yeun and Brandon Perea weren't much better). I have no idea what Peele was aiming for: I don't understand the relevance of the killer chimpanzee and the floating shoe, or how fifty skydancers (those inflatable figures on car showroom forecourts that gyrate in the wind) can be purchased and installed in a matter of hours. I fail to see how a massive flying extraterrestrial that feeds on people can go unnoticed for so long. Why did OJ and Emerald speak like they were from an inner city ghetto when they were born and raised in the country? Would Emerald really be into The Jesus Lizard? And who was that person on the motorcycle and why was his helmet so strange?
Knowing Peele, there is undoubtedly hidden meaning and symbolism in the film, but I don't go to the cinema to be bored out of my skull for well over two hours and then have to research what it was all about afterwards. I want to be entertained. And I most definitely wasn't. I'd rather watch a double bill of Cats (2019) and Birds of Prey (2020) than watch Nope again.

Close Encounters of the Turd Kind.
Nope to NOPE
Yikes! Ay yi yi! Where do I begin? Whomever rated this over 1 star has no grasp of what entertainment entails. It does not involve emotionally dead acting (Daniel Kaluuya at his absolute worse) an irritating co-star (Keke Palmer) and NO cohesiveness in the plot (a killer chimp with no connection to the main premise? Why? Just why?) -- and way too many other nonsensical points that I just don't want to waste more time listing.
The FX were lackluster also...the UAP (new term for UFOs) looked like it was covered with fabric, and the writing/script was just horrific...it meandered aimlessly, and was actually quite annoying. Very banal and pedestrian. The movie was also overlong, and just plain wasn't worth my time. Jordan Peele got lucky with Get Out, but, trust me, no such luck here. Doubt me if you will, but believe me, you will live to regret viewing this utter garbage if you dare to do so. For those saying people who rate this crap low just "don't get it" -- they are the ones that are missing the point. A bad movie is just a bad movie. You can't polish a turd.
Hell NOPE! NO WAY this movie is 7.1!
It's 4 of 10 @ best. It shouldn't even be considered a horror movie. I wanted to like this movie a whole lot more, & I had no expectation of it. The 1st 2 thirds of the movie was great. We didn't get any back story on the 'monster', b/ ok... I can live w/ that. Daniel Kaluuya & Keke Palmer certainly deliver, the directing was decent & the supporting cast was good, too. Michael Wincott was a nice touch... hardly recognizable. BUT, the f'g ufo/ parachute monster was such a cop out. When the movie went in that direction, I was like NOOOOOOOOO! B/ I'd already watched 2 thirds of the movie, so I just let the rest ride... b/ talk about disappointed. It clearly is the worst of the Jordan Peele movies, in my opinion... w/o a doubt!

Don't listen to bad reviews folks! Watch this, If you're a fan of movies like Tremors (like me) There is a huge chance you will like this. I really liked it!
Jordan Peele is the most overrated director out today!
very disappointing
oh i thought it was going to be half interesting, but instead we get a woke quota alarmist cult racist movie
Someone bleach my eyes, please.
I can see a bad stupid trailer, I am not watchin it!
This is a classic!
so many negative comment thats why am watching it yellow stone nope
Jordan Peele makes great movies but this one was a flop
WOW Is this a very good movie
What did I just watch? I think I just watched a movie about a Magical Ribbon Monster that eats people and animals, that hides behind a cloud that no one ever notices doesn't ever move? And after looking, 87,000 votes give this the average of 7.0? Maybe I need to rethink COVID and Vaccines. Obviously people have gone totally STUPID.
great movie, no compline, people with a small mind will hate this movie, creative is on point
Very sad to see people, blacks in particular, caring more about race and representation instead of movie quality. Gotta have those fragile egos given special treatment to feel important and relevant. If the movie is good or great, then makes no difference if the lead or cast is mostly black. This movie was unfortunately not worth it. I'd rather watch The People Under The Stairs (1991) or Coming To America (1988), much better movies that happen to have black leads and supporting cast.
WOW ... People are really calling Jordan Peele woke... U are born black and u are woke now... I guess with this level of stupidity u can call Dolemite woke or Blade... Wait a minute... Black panther is woke too?
Is this a very good movie as ratings denote? Nope! Just a weird drama, with not thrills or scare in it! And they made a balloon as creature?! LOL None can understand this movie, nope!
The less white people the better. I'm not going to deny the agenda because it's not a bad thing. This is an amazing movie the best this year. It's going to win Oscars mark my words. I need to be able to see myself in movies especially my skin color. The mouth breathers won't like this because its woke and woke means it has black people. And has nothing to do with the agenda.
Good one. But not for everyone.
After the first 5 minutes i deleted it. I support diversity in hiring practices, but seriously, the rant of teh black girl driving home her successor was a black person. I felt sick as the influence of political correctness reared its ugly head!
Speak up OJ!!!!
Nope, didn't like it. 2 hour waste of time.
Don't believe the mouth breather comments - this is cutting edge film making. Fantastic movie. Certainly not for everyone, but for the intelligent movie goer it delivers on multiple levels! 5 *****!
nope
the monster 1994 please
... but then flooding with comments. peele was like thank-you-for-watching-my-movie
Very bad movie, incorrect evaluation and waste of time
overhyped. don't waste your time and data
How can this BS movie get so good reviews, never seen so BS movie before. waste of time tho
Utter rubbish, slow and nothing really happens
Nope! Don't bother.
Boring, too long. Waste of time.
