Tends to meander and lacks a real punch. Beautifully shot, directed and edited. Keke Palmer is fantastic and brings a lot of energy and life into the film. Jordan Peele is a true talent, but this movie comes up empty in places in narrative and especially the climax. Original effort, Spielberg-like Sci-Fi/Adventure scale and Shamalan-like horror ambition. Doesn't completely miss the mark but doesn't fully deliver either.

Even the Cloverfield series did a better job handling this material. Daniel Kaluuya phones in his performance with a series of grunts and stares. Keke Palmer is so over the top you'd think you were watching a Disney show or something. All other characters were incredibly one dimensional and forgettable. This film did answer a question I've had since Get Out. Does Jordan Peele just take his old comedy sketches and rewrite them as horror.... Yes. Some work (Us, Get Out) and some flop. One point for cinematography.… Expand

For starters, the total runtime should have been cut down by 40 minutes being that it is a 2 hour movie. I found myself extremely bored most of the time but I ended up pushing forward to see who the antagonist is at the end. I was also curious to see why Daniel Kaluuya was looking 'up' in the movie cover photo and my theory was actually correct after barely making it to the final part of the film. 'Nope' did not capture my attention like 'Us' and 'Get Out' did so I will have to give this film a solid 'Nope'.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first half really had me, but then the reveal of the alien as being nothing more than hungry, and really quite stupid, was a major let down. Add to that, the characters were thinly drawn and when you don't care about them that much, the stakes don't seem that high for their lives. It was also supposed to be a comedy of sorts, but I certainly wasn't laughing. I get that it also had some social commentary, but it really wasn't that interesting. How the alien looked towards the end was pretty amazing though, and the initial suspense at the start of the film, like I said, I was into it. Shame the rest of it was such a let down.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With every new Jordan Peele movie seemingly comes the promise of a new perspective on a classic movie trope or societal norm. Trailers for Nope would have you assume that applied to his newest film; that new perspective would be of the sci-if variety. And for the most part, it does. But two thirds into the movie, you realize that you are not watching a UFO alien invasion movie, per se, but a horror monster movie in the vein of The Creature from the Black Lagoon or even Jaws. And this twist is genius as it keeps the viewer thoroughly stitched to the edge of their seat. Starring a very understated Daniel Kaluuya and a very overstated Kiki Palmer as an odd couple sibling pairing, the stage is set with their bickering and complementary dispositions barely keeping their family business afloat after the recent passing of their father (played all too briefly by the silk-voiced Keith David). A nearly failed Hollywood hunt horse gig leads the costars to sell one of their last remaining horses to a local tourist trap mogul in the form of Steven Yuen who’s own backstory offers horrific flashbacks hinting at and mirroring the horrors around which the main story is set. Without getting too far into spoiler territory, these character’s stories all converge at the perfectly timed climax making all of the side stories and flashbacks all the more worth it.

Now, this ace cast is really just the batter to the cake while the visuals are certainly the frosting. Peele’s films are usually well shot and offer interesting visuals, but his third entry offers a visual style heads and shoulders above what we have seen before. The cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema and Peele collaborated to innovate the use of a dual camera system to capture the nighttime visuals. The night scenes were actually shot in daylight with one camera rolling film while a second camera recorded infrared light in order to see how moisture, skin, and every small detail would react under normal light conditions and placed into a nocturnally color corrected shot. The results are compositions that perfectly imitate the lighting effects one would experience while taking a stroll in the California desert under abundant moonlight. It might not be initially noticed, but take a second to appreciate those shots; you’ll be thankful you did.

While not a perfect film, Nope does much to offer new concepts and filmmaking technology while telling an interesting story with a familiar setting and trappings of movie classics. This is a movie you do not want to miss, even if you think the trailers gave away more than they should have (hint: they didn’t).… Expand

Jim222001Feb 6, 2023

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In Nope, Daniel Kaluuya‘s character’s name is OJ and his name is said maybe over 100 times. Keke Palmer’s Emerald even gets to say “run OJ!” That was my main problem with the movie. Since Jordan Peele’s OJ Simpson joke in Us. “Who is that outside ? OJ Simpson!” I think Kaluuya’s character named OJ isn’t coincidence. It was a distraction for me.
More disturbing than the reveal of what is going on is the killer monkey scenes. Where a monkey on set of a tv show snaps and kills some cast members. That I didn’t expect going in and it is disturbing and even sad.
I also haven’t pieced together yet what was the point in those scenes. I think though that there’s a hidden message about how people are never fully in control when working with animals.
The film gets compared to Spielberg meets Shyamalan. Yes it does have an eventual Jaws feel to it which is clever when you expect Close Encounters. You can throw in an occasional Quintin Tarantino style as well.
I was really into the movie but I don’t think it needed the traumatizing monkey scenes, honestly.… Expand

His works rival other horror directors, except that Peele busts open genres with mind-bending concepts. Nope is no different, the reveal of the antagonist is utterly shocking and out of this world. You will never see it coming. Daniel Kaluuya delivers once again as the muse of Peele, playing a steady methodical character making sense of out of the senseless. Keke Palmer steals scenes with her fierce energy and quick thinking. This brother-sister duo carries the movie effortlessly. No matter how alien a thing is, it must follow logical rules, animal instincts and programmed behaviours. The best way to defeat an enemy is to understand it. Nope is a great horror movie with a massive payoff.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nope is the perfect name for this movie. It's what I found myself saying to myself throughout the movie. And what I think everytime I'm looking for something to watch and this pops up.

I'm usually a fan of Peele's movies and while this was a an watch, I struggled to really enjoy it. I purposely avoided any trailers or information about this movie so I'd go in without any preconceptions. Throughout the movie, I flipped between "what a unique concept" and "what a ridiculous concept". Until the whole of the alien, nicknamed Jean Jacket, is revealed, I really couldn't take it seriously. UFO abducting people, fine. UFO digesting people, not as much. But when you see it for what it really is, it's actually a pretty cool alien. Until I read it in another review, it never occurred to me. But the plot is basically just Jaws. Except that it's a lot slower and dragged out. They could have easily shaved 45 minutes off. But by far, my biggest annoyance were the characters. I found them mostly just annoying. Either flat and boring or grating.

I think the Peele fell into the same trap as Shyamalan. While pushing unique concepts sometimes works, You also have to make sure that it's good. Unique isn't enough.… Expand

Yes, the element of fear is almost absent. But the movie is watched with interest. I can't say I was bored for 2 hours. But I can say that it ended with a very funny finale. At first, I thought that the monkey at the beginning of the movie was killing people as aliens brutalizing animals, but it turned out it had nothing to do with it. But really the most impressive scene was the monkey scene. And when I thought the red balloon was a human head, I thought it was more scary. It was nice to have the cloud still. I wish they hadn't opened that flying creature like a torn curtain. The movie can be enjoyed with the family.

It's easily a better shot and written movie than "Get Out", and other than a select few lines from the sister character in the beginning, race isn't focused on much in the movie. Maybe there is some underlying esoteric theme or subliminal message about race that Peele always seems to try and force in, but on first watch I'm not really picking up on anything like that.… Expand

This film seen in theaters is a magnificent experience. A film that through Peele's classic political-satirical style is a strong critique of the unhealthy relationship between man and nature where the former arrogantly tries to subjugate the latter.
The film is full of tension and Peele offers wonderful camera movements that bring to mind the best works of Spielberg, Kubrick and Carpenter. The references to Spielberg's "Jaws" and Carpenter's "The Thing" are very clear.
The lateral tracking shots (for example those where he frames the stable and the house) bring to mind Hitchcock works while the blood flow on the house brings to mind Kubrick ones (The Shining).

I loved the use of sound to strike terror in the viewer. The movie doesn't need cheap jumpscares or shock value gore to be scary. It lets you imagine what is happening which makes it even scarier. The cast was great and I cannot wait for the "Nope and Get Out take place in the same universe" theories. The reason this isn't as good as Jordans other films is the pacing. The movie was far too long and its pace screeched to a halt at times. I think this could have easily been 20 minutes shorter. Some other minor nitpicks:
-The monkey CGI isn't great -A character makes a few questionable decisions in the ending
- Lacks a clear message

If a work of art does not amalgamate its own levels of reading, it prevents an organic and flowing fruition: if it limits itself to bundling up them disorderly, the disorganized jumble determines an understanding of specific scenes to the detriment of the others. Peele has no idea of the "systemic and all-encompassing will that looks to the great masters of cinema, such as Spielberg and Kubrick" (Emanuele Sacchi). Consequence: the overall result is less than the sum of the individual parts. The theoretical reflection on a "moral ecology of the gaze", from the praxinoscope onwards, is the biblical one of Nahum 3:6 and of "Peeping Tom" (Powell 1960), the denunciation of Hollywood as an exploiter "society of the spectacle", modern, technological, digital cinema industry capitalistically designed to produce perennial consumers, is that of Debord's situationism, the rejection of the oscillating confusion between reality and simulacra is that of Baudrillard, the criticism to the removal of the African-American contribution to the history of the West is that of Spike Lee. Evoking Shyamalan, Carpenter, Ōtomo, Anno, there are also sci-fy, western, horror, monsters, and once again the banal accumulation of genres does not transcend their boundaries, while the metaphors do not contaminate themselves, do not mix, each of them claims the entire attentional focus creating an archipelago of incongruous symbolisms. Bulimically indigestible.… Expand

The characters are unlikable, and don't seem to be afraid or even fazed from what is happening, they are actually do what they do for their own personal gain. This, together with the unserious tone of the movie takes away the "horror" edge, and leaves it as a mere comedy/thriller. There are some fillers as well (don't want to spoil), as I assume they are related to the message that was supposed to be delivered...at least I think so.

While I realize that one of the characteristics of Sci-Fi is social commentary, if you have a message to convey, it’s more effective to engage with the audience rather than put them to sleep. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone... well unless they got on my nerves ;).… Expand

The excellent script of the film and the direction were spoiled by the naive depiction of the monster, whose morphology and behavior were rather laughable...

--

Presentation For a horror film, Nope succeeds spectacularly and fails miserably in the field of spooks and horror. It succeeds spectacularly, due to the fact that for the first half of the movie there is absolutely nothing that is known about the foe, the horror. It also manages to succeed because there’s a surprisingly lacking number of the fabled ‘jump-scare’. Nope does something very interesting. It only utilizes the standard jump-scare once, and the utilization is absolutely dreadful (totally pointless) as it comes shortly after a phenomenally good scene that truly brings fright to the viewer. Then there was a message that was supposedly intended to be conveyed by the director - that much is obvious. I, however, find the manner of conveyance to have been lacking. The bible citation at the beginning was indicative of what the message was, but then the white text (initially horse names, then monster name) on a black background separating ‘acts’ was very weird. Sure, one could assume that the names in question are representative of the prey that will wind up being hunted in that ‘act’, but this is so pointless that, as a transition, something else could have been used. Overall, the presentation of ‘Nope’ was not bad, but it was not good, either. I really feel as though I’m compelled to give it a lower rating, but I’ll settle for a decent, rather than a barely passable. 2/3

Acting I think this movie did that quite well. The performance given by Daniel Kaluuya was very good - I found the presentation of a socially awkward, or at least shy, person winding up in the situations he wound up in to be very compelling, and then the visual play done by his face in the close-ups that the audience got was also not bad at all. There was a measure of calmness, or rather of collectedness, to this character, which was mainly granted by the performance. He was scared and terrified, but he did not show it through the conventional means. In fact, there was very little screaming on the part of the named characters here. Another interesting performance was provided by Keke Palmer - also quite a good one. The chemistry I perceived between Keke and Daniel, who portrayed sister and brother, was very believable. They were almost a perfect depiction of siblings, who are slightly estranged, who have their own lives and interests, but are still siblings who love one another. Lastly, something that tickled my fancy - Michael Wincott’s voice had me very pleased. The character he portrayed was also very interesting, from a visual perspective - how he moved, how he reacted to things. His voice, however, was the most compelling thing. I think all the actors did a really good job here. 3/3

Story We come to this at last... ...An interesting story that gets ruined by itself in the middle. I’m really upset by it. 1/3

Legendary Point Does this film get the legendary point, so craved and wanted by all and none at the same time? Well, I wanted to say yes, for a while. Then I realized I don’t actually want to say yes, I was just being pretentious in my craving to award some kind of recognition to the actors who took part in this film’s creation, but NO, Nope does not get the Legendary Point. I feel as though it could have been… Well, better. 0/1

Conclusion

6/10. It’s actually not a bad movie, but it is definitely not one I would want to rewatch. I’d recommend it to… Well, who would I recommend it to? It’s almost a good recommendation for fans of horror, but it shoots itself in the leg, so I wouldn’t want to recommend it. I can’t recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction, because this was more along the lines of fantasy that science-y… Maybe to fans of Jordan Peele movies? Or maybe as something to be put on as noise on the TV whilst doing other things. I tuck it under my belt, though it is frightfully close to the bag of mediocrity. It does have some dust on it, and it’s very rough and imperfect, but it’s got… It's got charm.… Expand

Jordan's third film delivers once again. This alien film that revolves on a ranch is riveting, scary and suspenseful. Maybe not the alien film people wanted, but the alien film we needed.

From a filmmaking perspective, the "craft" of this film is great. It has fantastic cinematography, great sound, great visuals and effects, solid pacing, great bread-crumb sprinkles that eventually come to fruition full-circle by the end of the film, etc. The "nuts and bolts" of the film are great.

Unfortunately, I think just the actual "core" bread-and-butter of the film, from a substance and content and story perspective, just isn't really great. Thankfully (for me), it wasn't even remotely scary as a suspense/thriller/"horror" movie, either. (I should add that while I don't love proper horror films, I absolutely love suspense and thrillers.)

Interestingly, I do think the allegories and "messaging" angle of the film are solid. This can be seen through various flashback scenes, and ideas surrounding humanity's relationship to nature, etc. There are also some little nuggets for folks who've been following the recent "UAP" conversations in news and politics, as well (leaked Navy pilot videos published by the New York Times, discovery of a secret Pentagon program studying UFOs, different rival theories about their possible explanation and origin, etc.)

I really wanted to love the movie, but unfortunately it was just "okay." Fantastic in the nuts-and-bolts, but pretty "meh" as far as the substance. Really loved the characters, though.… Expand

It starts out slow and the mystery gets revealed pretty fast (which was good for this movie) and from then on its pretty good and sometimes comedic. The ending took a bit long for my taste and some of the character actions did not really make a lot of sense and were mostly done to move the plot.
The casting was great but for the nigh scenes they had to work more on our main guy since you could barely differentiate him from the background and you couldn't really clearly see him and the emotions he was supposed to display. Thank god the movie was filmed mostly on daytime. The chimp sitcom was actually really fun and **** creepy which made me want to see a different movie about it lol. Overall give it a look!… Expand

Here he simply steals the whole premise of the film: An Alien race considering mankind as a form of delicacy.
If it were an improvement on the original, why not! However This feels just like a Night Shamalyan film. There are 20 minutes scenes that are completely void of meaning while others, filled with violence or "fast-paced action" are just red herrings. For a final reveal that leaves you feeling "been had".
Glazer's film made us think about our relationship to our bodies and its meaning in society. This is just drivel mascarading as art.… Expand

All I can say is Jordan Peele has yet to give me anything I've seen before. This is a satisfyingly off-beat alien movie with the kind of story that can be as deep or as shallow as you want it to be. Yes, the plot does kinda just stroll along at times, but it never gets tedious and it does pay off nicely. And that one scene is just gonna be carved my memory forever. More than anything, it's NOT a paint-by-numbers UFO flick. Be forewarned.… Expand

Who would've thought that a comedian could be so good at making genuinely interesting horror movies? So hearing how his next movie was going to be sci-fi horror, I was already onboard! Was Nope another homerun from Peele or is the title a perfect feeling for this film?

What stood out the most about this film to me was how amazing it looks. It is probably the most visually stunning movie Peele made so far. It's impressive that Peele managed to make a dull-looking setting, look beautiful. The cinematography captures the mesmerizing yet unsettling atmosphere of the story. Another aspect that makes this movie work so well is the terrific sound design. Hearing something moving in the clouds, the music slowing down and becoming deeper, a light turning off in the distance, the screams. The way Nope uses sounds to create creepy scenes is just wonderful. The mystery surrounding the UFO is incredibly engaging. The movie is constantly building suspense surrounding the UFO. Its presence is constantly looming over the characters and as the movie progress, we see more and more of what it is. Peele does interesting things with the UFO and actually makes it kind of scary. Nope has a constant theme that is explored throughout the film and that is "obsession". Our main characters are obsessed with getting the shot of the UFO and the lengths they will go for it, is insane. Other characters throughout the film are shown with their obsession, especially one with a certain chimp. I enjoyed the explored theme and showing how dangerous it can be. However, I do have a fair amount of problems with the film. The story is incredibly disjointed and not very connected either. The story's main focus is the UFO but it also has a subplot about a chimp that doesn't amount to anything. I understand that the chimp is another aspect of the theme but it's not connected whatsoever to the main overall narrative so it just feels like an unnecessary distraction. It also has quite a slow pacing which makes the movie feel longer than it is. It's also the least scary of the Peele movies. It does have around 3 unsettling scenes but that is not a lot in a 2-hour movie.

My biggest disappointment has to be the characters though. They're all very one-dimensional and bland. Daniel Kaluuya plays Otis who is just incredibly stoic and has minimal reactions to everything. Steven plays a charismatic guy who is just kind of there. Brandon Perea plays the most annoying tech salesman ever. Michael Wincott plays a renowned cinematographer that says things that sound profound but don't mean anything. Keke Palmer who plays Otis's sister, Em, is probably the only enjoyable character in the film because she has a personality and some kind of arc by the end. The dialogue that comes out of these characters feels so unrealistic or stupid which clashes with the serious tone of the movie.

Overall, I did enjoy Nope but it is definitely the weakest of his movies so far. It is still worth watching though if you have been a fan of his two previous works. I still think Peele is a phenomenal director and Nope doesn't change my belief in that. Peele has made me see clouds and chimps in a different light. I can't wait to see what Peele will do next.… Expand

I cant stand the "jelly-looking" outlook of the monster in the movie, i mean its pretty weird. + Antlers looks like a cool dude talking mysteriously all the time, but then he just died in a pretty stupid way, which I believe everyone would claim thats a "sacrifice for the world, for arts,.." .

The beginning is a slow burn for character development but once it gets going it doesn't stop.

I would say that the majority of roles if not all are played to absolute perfection the highlight being Keke Palmer. On a scale of ten I would give this movie a nine. I look forward to seeing more of Peele's work.… Expand

Pretty tasteless and misanthropic film that throws genres together and doesn't work any of them out well.

Boring boring boring with cringe stereotypical acting on top of boring. Did I mention it was boring?

Nope came across as a half baked idea stretched out into a boring movie with either dull or annoying characters.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nope was a perfect balance of suspense, tension, horror, and comedy. The writing was excellent; great at building suspense, loved for the majority of the movie the use of building fear with knowing something's there but you can't see it, and really loved the idea of the UFO being the actual alien. I liked the very unique and original alien design, with it not being the traditional look of a scary and creepy looking alien but still being very scary and daunting. Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer gave phenomenal performances and had superb sibling chemistry. Brandon Perea gave a pretty great performance as well. The visual effects of the UFO/alien was spectacular. The cinematography was beautiful done. Nope was just great at the use of originality.… Expand

75/100 possibly a new movie classic, with a dose of Jordan Peele, is no waste of time in this movie

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just watched Nope. I can't tell you how much I hated this movie. Boring as hell. Not scary. Not engaging on any level. Basically one of the worst movies I've ever seen. An Alien bedsheet? Terrifying. A killer chimp? Friggin stupid. Don't look at the alien and it won't kill you. But then it kills you anyway. The only way this alien could possibly have really killed anyone is to have bored them to death. Don't waste your precious time you'll never get back by seeing this thing. Asking why it was made is the only thought you'll have after seeing it.… Expand

It has an original concept, while paying homage to works from film makers such as Spielberg. To say more will be a travesty, but bear with the first slow half, before 'the bonkers' second half. This cements Peele as the next 'auteur' who, hopefully, can maintain his winning streak.… Expand

Clearly this film was made with love towards Spielberg with plenty of nods towards jaws but with some great hints of otherworldly b movie material - it's a fun if poorly paced watch. There are multiple storylines they are opened up but notClearly this film was made with love towards Spielberg with plenty of nods towards jaws but with some great hints of otherworldly b movie material - it's a fun if poorly paced watch. There are multiple storylines they are opened up but not fully explored and even a quote from the Bible at the beginning, it just felt pretentious at times. It's a shame Peele can't seem to focus on telling a coherent story. However the cast and direction failed to excite beyond the average needle mark with the ultimately mediocre screenplay and poor pacing issues.… Expand

The foreshadowing was really smart and you wouldn't expect the end; however the storyline was unclear and required a proper analysis and full focus to understand why certain things came up. The movie was quite random and very gruesome. 3.5/5The foreshadowing was really smart and you wouldn't expect the end; however the storyline was unclear and required a proper analysis and full focus to understand why certain things came up. The movie was quite random and very gruesome. 3.5/5 in my opinion, watch if you enjoy conspiracy or Sci-Fi mixed with a bit of horror. Jordan Peele is a legend but I was quite confused, if you are to watch it don't let the beginning confuse you or it will distract you for the rest of the movie.… Expand
