I wanted to like this movie, I was so excited about the trailer and I like the idea behind it, it's very original... but it simply didn't happed. Although we can say that Jordan Peele is a filmmaker who thinks outside the box and brings important and strong subjects, I thought the movie was poorly developed. I need to believe in what I'm watching, but there are so many plot holes and inconsistencies that the whole experience was damaged. The metaphors are confusing, the explanations are flat and forced, the writing felt really lazy to me. And to add, I thought the mix of comedy and horror, that can be made in very harmonic ways, was unbalanced. All the time the comedic moments came up to break the tension, so I was not able to get scared at all and I wanted to be. Nevertheless, I'd like to point out the amazing acting of Lupyta. Her delivery is always intense and strong, no matter which character she is playing. And I hope Peele keeps his originality, but learns to develop better narratives in the future.

I am sure that this review is going to get a ton of down votes and I am pretty sure that all those 10/10 reviews are bot accounts (if you dont believe me check the profiles) so I wont spent much time analyzing the film. Many many plot holes,little substance and ultimately you have a movie with a weak script based on a good idea that takes itself way to seriously without achieving even half of what it promises. Get out worked that well because it didn't take itself that seriously and there was always an underlying tone of dark comedy to it. It gets a 5 because I liked the cinematography and I thought that the performances where actually quite good!

This is a movie of two halves. The first half is a pretty decent suspense thriller, in a confined environment, where you don't really know what's going on and then, just when you think it's ending, there's a whole other half in a different setting that's significantly less good where they make the fatal mistake of trying to actually explain the highly unlikely goings on.

As a result it feels like the film has about 6 acts instead of the usual 3, and by the time it ends you don't really care anymore as instead of being a tightly plotted thrill ride, the writers continue to throw all sorts of ideas at you in the hope that some of them will work, each less well thought out than the last.

If they stuck to just the initial setting and maintained some mystery it could have been awesome, but as it is it just goes on too long and loses focus at around the half way point.

It seems as if the movie can't decide if it wasn't to be funny or serious. It tries both and fails at both.

I loved Get Out, but this movie was not in the same league. Jordan either got major help on his first movie, or was rushed to put this one out. The was a dragged out simpleton boring attempt at a suspenseful/horror with a twist.

Everything about this movie is just so bad. The story telling is so bad they had to just explain the plot in words at the end. Just bad. If this was on Netflix I would have stopped watching half way through. This movie is barely good enough to stream. It had so much potential too.

All you are left with in the end is a feeling of wasted time and a bunch of plot holes. Don't waste your time watching this.

Don't understand why everyone thinks this movie is great, after you watch it you realize the story is pretty stupid

A wonderfully thought out concept that has the potential to be a powerfully horrifying experience to the viewer, but it falls short of greatness due to flaws in logic that will have you screaming at your television. For example, there are a great deal of scenes where the main characters defy basic fight or flight reactions. Too many scenes where I found myself saying "well you put yourself in that position, dummy". The film makes our protagonists seem like 6 year olds with no perception of danger rather than grown adults with children. It reminds me of corny 1970s slasher films where the first victims are just complete idiots who were too dumb to live in the first place. Get Out had plausible characters with a twist that viewers could believe. This film had unbelievably stupid characters with a plot twist that you'd have to be blind and deaf to not see coming. Definitely overhyped but it's worth spending a couple bucks to see a concept that isn't often seen in films these days.

No doubt the title of Us is a thin wordplay on the abbreviation U.S., and at one point a character even states "We're Americans." Thus by the transitive property, We are Us, Us is U.S., U.S. is America, America are We.

Jordan Peele follows up Get Out with another whole movie. Peele seems to think that a raspy voice is scary (it's not), that being frightened and laughing should happen, even coterminously, within the same scene (they shouldn't), and that rabbits are a metaphor for something I never figured out (I didn't).

In our local music scene, we have the phrase "GGBB," which stands for "Good Guys (and Gals), Bad Band." Us offers up the movie parallel that phrase needs, "GGBM." The acting is good (despite raspy throating), the editing is good (despite the requisite jump-cuts), and the soundtrack is good. The plot, which feels like one of those plots you need to do some outside research to really, you know, get, falls apart from the get-go, progresses as if though separate ideas had been stapled together, and ultimately releases us onto a final scene which reels the mind, all across America.

Boardwalks and funhouses, beaches and boats, fireplaces and pokers, and matches and fires: it all adds up to some remorse for the buyers.

I expected this to be a little better, 'bigger' more in depth, but i found it very slow to start, a predictable and like a Purge rip off - the fact they kill so many people with scissors when guns are so freely available in the USA is also a joke. .just a strange film. .

This movie is a utter disappointment. Everyone in this movie is so easily forgotten. The story has one good twist at the end and leaves you with a lot of questions that are better left unanswered because the movie never cared to even try to explain. The fact this movie is getting star reviews boggles my mind. The only reason I give it a 5 star rating is because as bad as the story is Lupitas acting was absolutely amazing

Now, as excited as I was to watch this movie, I was just as disappointed. This movie from beginning to end is the definition of CONFUSION. Actors and actresses were awesome. Plot? all over the place. I was lost throughout the whole film. Being the movie buff that I am I tried my hardest not to walk out and just to give the film a chance. The best part to me about the film was the ending. I personally wouldn't even really consider this a horror film at all. And its sad because the concept is actually great. I definitely think "Get Out" was a better movie hands down, better plot, better execution. Don't waste your money, watch it at home when it comes out. As for all the movie critics lying about their review, don't believe the HYPE

The beginning had me roped in with a strong first 2/3 maybe 4/5 of the movie but the last 30 minutes was just bad movie. I feel as though Jordan Peele wrote this in a very short amount of time, I think he rushed to finish it and didn't take his time to make a complete movie.

Jordan Peele's 'Us' starts with an intriguing premise: what if a family was haunted by a version of itself? The set up makes one wonder if there is going to be a message about race in America - spoiler, there isn't - but there is a reasonably neat twist in the ending. The problem is, what comes in between is a fairly mundane zombie apocalypse movie, and one which loses coherence as it veers away from its central protagonists and becomes a story in which an entire nation is under attack. In the end, the potential goes unrealised; it feels like a film that could have done with more work on its script.

When I first saw this in theaters in 2019, I remember enjoying it, but looking at it again 4 years later I'm not really sure why. The fact that I rewatched it because I didn't remember much of it probably was a giveaway I didn't pick up on. Technically it's well made, the cinematography's good, the use of music is effective, the four principle characters are likeable and it has a strong cast, particularly the lead Lupita Nyong'o who gives two strong performances here as do most of all the others. However, try as I may I just can't figure out how this makes any sense when all is said and done. The finale is very provocative and thought provoking, but most of that thinking leads one to realize how incredibly nonsensical all of this is. True, it's a horror movie and they don't tend to always be based on reality, but this one is so farfetched it's not scary and that is a problem. I can't say it's boring, but it is kind of a pointless, full of symbolism and biblical stuff.

Long story short... the movie was fun and suspenseful before you know what is going on. After that, everything just doesn't make any sense.

This is the kind of film where you are looking at your watch half way through, and after enduring 2+ hours you leave with a whatever.

It started well, and then descended into absurd territory which barely made any sense. A lot of the scenes were just laughable, the script was all over the place, I didn't even care what was going on by the end.

The father in this film is the most irritating moron i've seen in a film since alien covenant, and as in alien covenant the characters do equally stupid things when confronted with life and death situations, things no one would ever do. Some nice (semi) original ideas in the film that could have made this a classic, instead someone seemed to be forcing the film into a totally different standard horror film (eg friday the 13th) , almost like it had 2 directors, one trying to make something new and fresh, and one wanting to make a 70's slasher film, and they took it turns to direct 20 minutes at a time.

Oh an please, please, please STOP with these huge end of movie plot 'twists', everyone expects them now, they aren't twists anymore, anyone with half a brain worked it out. Ask yourself a simple question, is your twist as good as the sixth sense? no - then don't do it.

Plot holes, at the end unlogical twist with no explanation thorugh the movie. Horror ? Not.
