Really liked the 3rd Jordan Peel movie, it might not be his best, but his standards are amazingly high. It has strange twist and turns all the way to the end. It reminded me most of Jaws and has a lot of elements from the classic shark movie.

Fantastic entertainment and so, so well made. Jordan Peele is fast becoming one of the very best working directors in the industry today.

Hard to talk about the plot and story without being spoiler-heavy, but it is all well worth the ride. Admittedly it does peter off toward the end and the payoff, while not bad, isn't quite as awesome as the build-up was, but it leaves room to potentially revisit the story.… Expand

The movie is good and interesting on its own. But it was created as a grand metaphor for media and social media. In that sense it is a masterwork. As a horror movie it is pretty entertaining and well done. But as a parable it is a must see.

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

Well Jordan Peele has done it again with another terrific horror to add to his ever growing collection. If you loved Get Out and Us then be sure to get yourselves to the largest cinema screen possible to see Nope. As always this is a spoilerWell Jordan Peele has done it again with another terrific horror to add to his ever growing collection. If you loved Get Out and Us then be sure to get yourselves to the largest cinema screen possible to see Nope. As always this is a spoiler free review, however, the less you know about Nope before seeing it the better.

OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald Haywood (Keke Palmer) are horse trainers on a ranch in inland California. They begin experiencing strange and unexplainable occurrences and decide to do some further investigation. The trailer gives you a pretty good indicator to where this movie is going but honestly regarding the plot the less you know the better. The same can be said for all Jordan Peele movies so I’d suggest you try to see Nope with as little information as possible. Peele has expertly blended genres here with Nope, it’s first and foremost a horror as there are scenes that are indeed chilling and will stay with you long after the movie has ended. Yet it’s also a sci-fi movie and a western. That’s three genres you don’t normally see combined together very often, especially like this, but the results speak for themselves.

There’s strong influences from other sci-fi movies and Summer blockbusters, Jaws immediately comes to mind. Particularly when it comes to building up to the spectacle, you’re not sure what you’re dealing with right away and you won’t be shown anything before you need to be. Nope immediately presents you with a hair-raising scene, and from that moment on, the suspense builds before it unleashes the chaos. So yes it’s a little slow to build but I promise the payoff will be worth it. You’re put on edge and kept there while the film follows a similar formula of other great blockbusters, constantly building the suspense. At times it almost feels nostalgic with reminders from other great sci-fi and horror movies along with some real life horrors mixed in there too. At the same time it’s very much it’s own thing and brings some much needed originality to the horror genre.

Again Peele gathers an ensemble cast of great actors, Michael Wincott, Steven Yeun and Brandon Perea, with the stand out performances being Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as the Haywood siblings. It’s a small cast, which gives plenty of time to get to know the characters and more importantly care about them. Newer horrors seem to be continually falling into the same trap of endless disposable characters just there to be killed, whereas less characters with actual character development is far more effective and when things start going wrong you’re actually invested in what happens to them. They are well written, likeable and more importantly believable characters that react the way you’d expect when the weird stuff starts happening, much to the delight of the audience. Nothing beats seeing a terrific blockbuster in a packed cinema enjoying every minute of it.

I probably sound like a broken record at this point but we’re living in a time where the majority of films nowadays follow the same formula, and you end up seeing the same thing over and over again. Original ideas are always harder to get the green light so I’m always happy to see something new whether I liked it or not. In the case of Nope, I loved it and I’m still thinking about it. If we’re talking favourites, I’d still choose Get Out as my favourite but Nope is a close second.

Jordan Peele is a director who has a clear vision for his movies and you’re always guaranteed something new. Nope is no exception. You’ll jump, squirm and laugh. It balances humour and horror together while experimenting with genres and showing you something you haven’t seen before. To sum it up, it’s a horror/sci-fi/western infused blockbuster that I urge all of you to see. Highly recommended for the Jordan Peele and horror fans.… Expand

Should be appreciated on the biggest screen possible. A real cinema experience. Peele’s NOPE is like A. Night Shamalyan’s Unbreakable- at his best that is - wonderfully atmospheric, grandiose cinematography and superb pacing. I loved it.

The action is good and the CGI are surprisingly very fresh in the way it's presented. Amazing work on the sound. The only drawback for me was the director character and it's motivations, especially what he did at the end. For me that made no sens. I give the movie 82%. I had to read online a bit about one part of the story in relation to the other. Maybe it was unclear in the movie, but after reading it, I felt it was showed but not explained. And in a sens it's a good motivation to re-watch it.… Expand

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

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

It’s sitting at a 7 but I really want to give it an 8 however I need to watch the movie again before I do that so 7 for now. Nope is a weird film for me. 2/3rd’s of this movie is insanely good but the last 30 minutes are just kind of underwhelming to me. I’m hoping on rewatch that my thoughts will change. The ending only feels underwhelming because it felt somewhat less dramatic than the rest of the film. The whole movie for the first 2/3rds is creepy and downright terrifying at points and that isn’t there for the 3rd act. That’s really my major critique but since it’s the climax of the movie it does stick out like a sore thumb to me. Like I said though, the rest of the movie is insanely good. It’s scary at points and just downright disturbing in all the ways a horror movie should be. Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya are amazing in this and I hope to see more great performances from them in the future. Their characters are really fun to watch and get behind as they are just like us. Humans are naturally drawn to the unknown and sometimes we do whatever is necessary to try and capture it to show the world. The Gordy segments can seem a little confusing as to what they mean but not only are they downright scary and terrifying but it really adds to one of the film’s messages about not underestimating a wild animal as you don’t know how they will react regardless of how much you try to train them. The technical aspects of this film are pretty amazing across the board. The visual effects, sound design, cinematography, and music are all some of the best of the year and are definitely worth the price of admission. While I’m still a little unsure about the ending I still think that you should go see this film as soon as possible for everything else that I mentioned.… Expand

But, after the first hour, we actually get to see the alien creature more and more and it looks pretty cool. The other characters in the movie are generally annoying, boring, or frustrating.

The second half of the movie makes up for the shortcomings of the first and the ending is so good it redeems the movie. I just wish it had been shorter and that they would put some more exciting plot points in the first half of the movie so they don’t put the audience to sleep before the good scenes start happening… Expand

Good: The acting is great, characters have their own backstories and thoughts. The idea is unique and reckless. I mean, a movie about the UFO in 2022? That sounds boring as hell, but Jordan somehow still make the movie interesting and stimulate my curiousity through out the whole film. Cons (from my perspective): + So to me, I myself believe that it is better that the movie "hide" the outlook of the monster, like BirdBox did. 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,.." .
+ Dont get me wrong, the monkey part and floating shoe is also extremely interesting but it doesnt really fit the movie that well, its rather a "supernatural thing" than a "outer space thing".
So 7.3/10 to me… Expand

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

Para terminar con un desenlace muy simple,poco creíble y ridículo.

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

I expected something much better. Too much downtime made the story drag. It's hard to build suspense when nothing is happening for long periods at a time. More like a series of vaguely related ideas stitched together than a compelling story.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Read the full review on: https://gemsimov.com/film-reviews/f/nope---a-review

--

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.

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...

Minus the stunning cinematography as well as the score, the movie does not have much to offer, either script-wise or performative.

O filme foi bem criativo no que toca à criatura. Souberam desenvolver bem o enigma acerca da criatura. E a atuação de Kaluuya foi fenomenal. São poucos atores que conseguem guiar bem um protagonista calado sem necessariamente tornar o filmeO filme foi bem criativo no que toca à criatura.

Jordan Peele knocks it out of the park again with a great story, great themes, great performances and some amazing music, scenes and sound design. Aliens are scary again!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't really understand why this movie is so hyped. I get the idea behind it, but the movie never really catches the audience. I admit that there are a few scenes which are quite exciting but in the end, everything is quite predictable.
The actors' performance cannot be blamed. Maybe I just feel that this movie does not really belong into the genre of horror… Expand

Ambitious in genre bending and storytelling. 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 thisAmbitious in genre bending and storytelling. 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.

I expected a lot from this movie being from Jordan Peele. The course of the film seemed very tedious to me, and a bit complicated to understand, The handling of the suspense is not the best and you feel that this movie can be much better butI expected a lot from this movie being from Jordan Peele. The course of the film seemed very tedious to me, and a bit complicated to understand, The handling of the suspense is not the best and you feel that this movie can be much better but it fails to exceed expectations. The only thing that I rescue from this film is the visual section, it has a very good cinematography.… Expand
