Us

Stupid, idiotic, pointless story… big waste of time.

This movie is horrible. I've never left a movie review before but felt compelled to do so after watching this garbage. Not sure how this movie got so many good 4-5 star reviews. You seriously could not pay me to watch this movie again. Please save your time and watch literally any other movie.

I love Jordan Peele. He great at what he does, especially his collab with Keegan-Michael Key. Unfortunately, something was just… Off with Us. The premise of the film is great: what if there were versions of you, evil versions, and they came to take your place? Not unique, but still a solid premise moving us forward. And considering the overall acting from Lupita Nyong'o and Shahadi Wright Joseph, you would imagine Us is just superb. Well, for starters, since I brought up acting, there is something just not right with character Gabe Wilson. Yes, the film tries to stablish him as goofy, but he is just too absent in the whole story, a baffoon there to provide some comedic relief on a film that shouldn't have it that much. Then you have characters Josh Tyler and Kitty Tyler and they are just too satirical. Maybe there is some implied critique happening here, but I could not see it. Another set of baloney folks. Then you have the story itself, and here I think Jordan Peele just went off rails in the end. If the story would try to contain itself to a smaller scope, maybe that would have worked out better than to try to make it a large scale problem. The motives seem too superficial, and the overall explanations just don't satisfy. In the end, the build up stalls, and the conclusion is too offsetting, too subpar with what we were following through thus far. The film has some nice elements to itself too, not at all just a lackluster. The horror and scary factor is real. The copycat characters are creepy in all senses, most due to the eerie nature of their behavior. Protagonist Adelaine Wilson had nice traits and carries the movie throughout. Her backstory, though, is superficial and, for the most part, predictable. Us might please the general audience. It is entertaining for what it is, but be advised it is not a compelling film. The story had its moments, but overall, falls flat to its own potential.

Peele needs Key back. Horrible movie horrible actors.

Another masterpiece from Jordan Peele. This movie was spectacular! It was terrifying yet intriguing, and it had a really captivating story that left me wanting more. I definitely recommend it for horror fans!

A brilliantly clever script, filled with original sequences of genuine suspense. Winston Duke provides solid comedic balance to the rest of horror playing out. Us is a refreshing dip into genuine horror that utilizes a fascinating story that's not derivative at all, without ever resorting to cheap gore or any sort of played out gimmicks.

Yea, not really feeling this movie..tbh the movie before the home invasion was the single most cliche writing I’ve ever seen. Everything they say is something out of a Movies 101 class.. everything was, “no running in the house!” and “stick with me and I’ll keep you safe”.. then when the lights went out I was like..this is gonna get good.. then they got inside and I will give props to the female shadow, pretty menacing..but the rest of it was like watching a man vs Frankenstein or a zombie.. none of it was clever or thrilling.. I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be funny or scary but to me it was neither..sometimes movies have irony that you need to see to get the genius but I truly think peele just flopped this one. I didn’t finish it passed the 3rd quarter..Even if there is a stellar ending I don’t even care enough about the characters to care. I will say what drew me in was the first 10 min in the 80’s, that was on the right track..otherwise this movie is only memorable for having a cool idea that didn’t pan out but still having excellent cinematography.

Is US us? Or is it U.S. or is it not? Are there people under the ground who are bad shadow figures, or are they really our secret selves? Can Jordan Peele make a coherent horror picture..? Not yet.

I honestly had high hopes for this film, but when it started DAMN was I disappointed. I couldn't, honestly could not help but yell MAYDAY, MAYDAY because I felt as if my hopes and everything else that came with it was about to crash land. Utter disappointment and quote this film was "crude and unspeakably plain." never again, never again.

Love, love, love. You’ll never expect the twist, the family is so deep and you feel for the characters. I looovvee Jordan peeles satisfying endings and I love his character work, beautifully filmed as well with a bunch of foreshadow and hidden messages. Jordan Peele strikes again.
