3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Nope’:
I kept waiting, and waiting, for this film to get good. For the moment when things kick into high gear and it earns that price of admission. For me, it never got there. It always teetered on the edge of something fun and edge-of-your-seat… but it remained uneventful despite its seemingly-momentous scenes.
The pacing was all sorts of wonky. It felt like there were a lot of disconnects here, a lot of questions. Scenes that went on too long. Unrealistic character reactions and decisions. My scalp is sore from all the head scratching. I just wish this were a more structured story with all the ideas it contained.
Great cast, but the character of OJ was incredibly bland and emotionally flat. A more compelling lead character may have risen this film above all its flaws.
Bonus Thought: What was the significance of the mysterious balancing shoe?
Season 12 is really bad.
They should have stopped in season 11.
Nothing can go next to God/Amara things...
I never thought they could make a 2 hour movie with Emma Stone in multiple sex scene's this bad, but they did.
Yikes. Horrible casting choices. Only the queen's older version feels like the same character. They either should have jumped earlier in the season or waited until season two. After kind of enjoying last week's episode I'm back to my overall impression of this being a poorly written and executed show.
Wasted my time, you shouldn’t.
Took my daughter to see this last night. It wasn't as bad as the reviews were making it out to be. The action was pretty good and the fight scenes were well choreographed. Overall the story itself was ok. Nothing special but entertaining. My main issue was with the way it ended. You will need to stay for the credits because they literally just ended the movie after a battle. Even with the bit shown during the credits, it's like they didn't know how to finish the movie. You can tell that they are trying to shoehorn a 2nd movie. Their fix to ensure this is set up was to basically put up a "To be continued" sign at the end. It's not an actual sign but I hope you get what I'm saying.
Overall if you're feeling trapped in your house and you want to get out and enjoy a movie I'd go see it. We had a fun afternoon munching on popcorn and watching some monster action on the big screen.
