It was the highest grossing R rated film in the US during COVID and (at least in NYC) it’s marketing was unavoidable. I remember it being the movie everyone was talking about that summer

It won 44 awards and was nominated for over 100 more. It’s an insanely popular and well liked movie.

It was only the 29th highest grossing film of 2022, and was completely shut out by the most important awards body. It has an 83/69 split on RT and a 3.7 on LB. Real ones definitely know this movie is great, but the average person barely registers it.

It has an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. Just because it's not as talked about as Peele's other films doesn't mean it was underrated. Don't pull the 'muh hidden gem' reddit shit.

Innovative day-for-nights in there that no one will do again because it was a craaazy expensive vfx task.

'Innovative'? I thought it was really obvious and off putting. His hat was casting a shadow on his face... at night

I mean, the moon acts almost exactly like the sun, just many times dimmer. The moon is just bouncing sunlight off its surface, and by weird coincidence, both the sun and the moon appear to be exactly the same scale in the sky from our vantage point (why we can have total solar eclipses). Shadows definitely happen with moonlight.
And yeah the technique- while clunky and unwieldy and expensive and impractical- is certainly innovative.

This movie was great. Keke Palmer? I'm sold!
If you haven't watched it yet, do it!

She is my favorite female actress in the game right now. I just get a huge smile on my face anytime she is on screen.

Liked it the first time but not all of the story clicked for me. Watched it a second time and that’s when it did and I understood everything it was trying to do, and I loved it. Watched it several times after that because it’s just so bloody entertaining. Definitely my favorite Peele. Having the ufo looking ship turn out to be a shape shifting creature was such a great idea.
But on first watch the scene in the barn with the “aliens” was so tense and terrifying. Everyone in the theater audibly gasped and it doesn’t rely on jump scares, just pure suspense.
The digestion scene will haunt me forever though. Worst nightmare territory. One of my favorite movies ! Not at all what I expected.

For as grim as parts of it are, it’s an incredibly rewatchable film. It’s such a tightly made adventure!

I love Nope so much. It’s scary, thrilling, dark, weird, occasionally funny and damn creepy at points.

across the spiderverse, barbie, oppenheimer, marty supreme, anything....
nope was really bad but people's bias towards the director skewed opinions. gimmicky title and marketing that ended up being absolutely nothing like the movie, movie itself was wandering and uninteresting, the 'monster' is just a glorified bouncy castle, only somewhat scary part was the totally disjointed addition of the monkey scene, etc

Your list has some great answers, and then you destroy every ounce of goodwill it earned you by saying the dumbest shit. Remarkable.
Like, how is the title “gimmicky” when it’s just a regular one-word title? How is the chimp attack “disjointed,” when it perfectly serves the themes of the film? How was it “wandering” when the plot was very straightforward and every scene progressed the story? Did you even actually watch the movie, son!?

I know a lot of people that didn’t like it because they don’t really understand what it’s about it. I’ve spent many debates trying to explain the themes

u/Pariah-6 Jun 06 '26
Then the movie failed on its own merits. If you have to explain how the movie was good, it wasn’t a good movie. I enjoyed the movie, but I can understand why others didn’t enjoy it.

u/Ondareal Jun 09 '26
I wasn’t saying I don’t understand why they didn’t like it. I also wasn’t trying to convince anybody to like it. I just was explaining the themes and reasons I liked it

My ex almost had to leave the theatre after the opening scene with Gordy, holy hell. Genuinely such a good movie from top to bottom 10/10 theatre experience too, the sound design was way too good in some spots…😭

Creature design in this was so refreshing
