The lead actress was wonderful herself, and the music choosing was legit, but everything else made absolutely no sense and the movie felt longer than 2 hours.....

Just because you want it to be good, doesn't make it good.
Jordan Peele is at it again!
Hard to say too much about this one without spoiling, but here goes.
The acting is good, especially considering many of the actors plays two roles. They all do a bang up job in that regard. So no trouble so far.
The movie looks good. I have no complains here either. It's technically very well made. We always see what's going on, no shaky cam or anything like that. Some nice shots too.
The humor works pretty well, the dialogue comes off as natural.
I like the beginning of the movie, the family is pretty likable.
The movie is sort of a mystery, and when the mystery unravels is when we get to some slight problems. The scrips seems to be based on a pretty good idea, that was never thoroughly worked out. It just isn't thought all the way through.
I am left with several questions, and not in a good way.
This is spoiler terriroty, so I won't go into detail, but it didn't sit well with me. Doesn't seem to make sense. The plot has more holes than a swizz cheese. (that almost no critics talk about this is very strange)
Now, in the movies defence, the sub-genre it turne out to be is very far from my favorite, so others might like it better. I've seen a lot of horror movies, and this is just not one of the best ones. It is mediocre.
Not a weak movie, but definitely no classic. Will not be watching it again.

Double trouble.
When Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o) returns to Santa Cruz, the site of a childhood trauma, with her husband Gabe (Winston Duke) and children Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex), she finds her family stalked by a group of doppelgängers intent on doing them harm.
My initial thought: that's no way to play whack-a-mole. You don't just stand there and hit the same mole over and over. Couldn't the actor be bothered? Still, I'm a reasonable person and can let that slide just so long as the rest of the film is good.
Unfortunately, it turns out that iffy whack-a-mole tactics are the least of this film's problems.
Character development is fine-I liked the central family, and their obnoxious friends were fun, but once the shadow people appear, it all starts to go a bit pear-shaped...
I understand that the home invasion scene is intended to be dark comedy, which I'm fine with, but I'd liked to have had some genuine tension and a few solid frights along the way. At no point did I feel scared, which is disappointing when you've signed on for a horror movie. I also don't understand why the doppelgängers don't kill the family straight away (other than for the convenience of the plot), but that's just one puzzler amongst many.
Peele finally hits his horror stride with the attack at the neighbours' home, and the fight against the shadow twins, but once it becomes apparent that the phenomena is nationwide, the film takes a serious nosedive. Rather than leave the nature of his villains mysterious, Peele gives us a ridiculous back story to the shadow people that makes very little sense whatsoever.
The viewer is expected to believe in the creation of thousands, nay millions, of underground shadow people who control the population above through puppetry. These people live in a network of tunnels and, so I understand, eat raw rabbit meat. This premise leaves countless unanswered questions, none of which are adequately addressed. It's a half-assed attempt at an explanation which would have been best left unsaid.
Peele then expects us to swallow the idea that the countless shadow people have been organised into an army by Adelaide's evil doppelgänger. Clad in red jumpsuits and armed with scissors (acquired from a subterranean red jumpsuit and golden scissors warehouse, no doubt), she plans for her people to invade the world above. To what end? To overpower their more privileged doubles and then hold hands in a chain across America, as an act of defiance and solidarity.
All of this is intended as a metaphor for class divide in America, mirroring the fight between the haves and have-nots, and the struggle for equality, but the subtext comes at the expense of logic and narrative cohesion. Peele closes matters with a silly twist ending that only raises further awkward questions.
My closing thought: could have been great, but the whack-a-mole incident is just the start of it.
Oh God not this bs again
@roadblocker - I got a notice from my ISP about a movie once, then immediately started leaving my VPN on all the time, and activated the "kill switch" so if the VPN connection is interrupted the network card is temporarily disabled. No more nastygrams from the ISP.
This film is doing nothing but riding on the coat tails of a previous movie. People will see it simply because it's a "peele" movie yet that does not save this film at all. It was slow, tedious, incredibly boring, and absolutely made NO sense. How there could be a giant installation underground noticed by NO one, let alone filled with copies of people. Story, plot etc get a -10. Obviously Peele made it simply for some more cash.
2160p Please.
4k PL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
waste of time
story of this movie is very good
I need to say this movie was a masterpiece, because If I complain and give it a bad review, I get called a racist.
One of the best movies ever. people saying sh*t here, don`t listen!
jesus christ what a piece of shit, dont waste your time downloading this crap
This movie is Gold
Thank You
To continue my rant... They have a company that monitors these sites. I guess they get paid really well to sit at a computer and get a log of all the ip addresses. They even seed movies so they can track and log IP addresses. When they get a log they call each film company directly and tell them who was downloading or uploading their material illegally, those film companies then contacted my internet service provider. Because of that I decided to be more careful and also not seed any torrents. I don't have a problem paying to see a movie if I have the money but a lot of the movies I paid to see weren't very good so if I'm not sure about a movie I'm not paying for it. My internet service provider claims they got complaints so maybe they werent spying on me at the time but I believe they gave the film companies the list of all the movies I downloaded.
The movie is OKAY not a class A movie, also be careful downloading this one, my isp temporarily suspended my internet service and sent me a letter thre threatening to terminate my internet account. They are monitoring the torrents on this site, also I downloaded this movie last year and they are just warning me about downloading copy right content because I got caught downloading other new movies, kill chain was one of them. I didn't even download this movie from this site, which means they looked up my IP address to see all the movies I downloaded. I was at fault for not hiding my IP address but I don't like the fact that my internet service provider is SPYING on me and logging ALL my online activities. I really think what they are doing should be illegal as well. How is it that torrenting is illegal but spying 9n someones online activities isn't??? I rate the movie 6 out of 10 not because I got caught but because I think it could've been more intense.
must watch :)
No entiendo la clasificación de IMDB, es una porquería. No pierdan el tiempo en verla.
I like the movie and the actors are amazing.

Awful plot..sick

If any of you retards can make a better movie then i like to see it
If you can i can count your IQ on one hand then you are going to hate this movie,If you have a IQ over 20 and not a backwards racist inbred retard then i suggest you watch this movie, it’s awesome
EVERYONE!!! This movie was GOOD not a waste of time...ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS UNDERSTAND IN ORDER TO LIKE THIS MOVIE
One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Woodfish Since you guys don't have racism in europe just tell me what do they think about muslims
@suckmybigD22 this movie is bad. and take your racist preach somewhere else. and lupita nyong o is "beautiful sweet and rich" because there is a market for it in murica. we dont have to suffer tokenized black movie and praise it against our will.
I live in Europe. We don't have racism problems like you do in Murica. And I don't have a problem saying I don't like black, yellow, orange or green people. Because I don't have to. It's not racism, it's a matter of personal preference. You people need to stop inflating that baloon because, sooner rather than later, it's gonna pop. And loud. You're already that grumpy kid no one likes. Why push to be hated so much? It's really beyond any logic.
