I think some of the people who rate this one star are just racist haters LOL I'm a white guy, and I love all God's people. Jordan Peele has proven you can have black actor's leading horror movies because people are people, plain and simple. And this is the top-notch movie in the horror genre. it's best to go into this movie and watch it without reading anything at all ahead of time (the spoilers that abound online these days SMH). It is truly refreshing and original.
The director's first film, "Get Out", is a masterpiece. "Us", unfortunately, is an utter mess. The director compulsively slides into too many obviously references and puns and homages to other films and film history, often senselessly and nearly always distractingly. Too much cash and fame from the excellent first film seem to have seduced Peele into the most common of errors for a young director: Trying to do too much and getting deeply confused about what it was he set out to do. Further, the film has moments that are offensively racist, and the representations of men are consistently flippant and contemptuous. Do men need to be treated with contempt just now? Do men of color need this sort of abuse?
But... why?!! The acting and the shoot was soo good, but the story is stupid and broken, big plot holes everywhere!!
Half-baked universe concept. Movie is happy to contradict itself when it suits the plot. Inconsistencies make it annoying to watch. Feels like the makers of the movie are trying to say something, but it gets lost in the rest of the tangled mess they made.
I think for the moment we can hold the brakes before we crown Peele the new Hitchcock.
Jordan Peele says ‘I don’t see myself casting a white dude’ - that's ok, your movies are half baked and actually suck. Get Out was nothing more than a re-working of Stepford Wives. This, not really sure what this was except it wasn't good!!
Soooooooo disappointed!! Great idea but watching it unravel was painful!! I've yet to be impressed by JP's movies.
Crazy, thriller
Worst movie ever. Bad acting, ridiculus story line Way too long. Sound track was horrible. You couldn't pay me to see this movie again.
ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER WATCHED,I CANNOT BELIEVE WE STAYED UNTIL THE END. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY,POOR ACTING,POOR DIRECTING,POOR STORY LINE.
