Wow its difficult to read those comments. I know that that kind of criticism exists it's just hard to believe people think like that.

I agree Peele is a concept man. I also think that Get out was probably something that he dreamed of making if he ever got to make a film. Where as Us is a follow up to one of the biggest smash hits in horror ever. Following Get out would be hard for any filmmaker. I'm not saying Us is better than Get out, I'm just saying Us is great to me. I had a blast watching it and tbh I was more scared too. I just saw so many comments trashing Us and I disagree. Us is awesome

I can respect that criticism. At least you gave a reason that wasnt just "it's not as good as get out" for me I liked the details in the back. It makes multiple viewings fun for me.

Now days if a movie isn't 10/10 its considered trash. I also think that some people are holding Jordan Peele to a standard that isn't held to every filmmaker. I don't know why he's being held to such a standard but his films are thought provoking, beautiful and fun. What else could you ask for.

I actually enjoyed Us. I used to wake up to pee in the middle of the night with that scene where she dances all weird to "I got five on it" in my head. I enjoyed the style and I love that Peele keeps me thinking. Is it as good as Get out? I dunno. But I enjoyed it.

I can respect that. I believe Jordan Peele said the movie is about how we're afraid of the outsider how we're afraid that the outsiders are coming to get us. And that we are our own worst enemy. Or something like that. I can't explain why I like Us so much but I'll try. I really like the acting. Lupita Nyong'o is amazing in Us to me. I love that it kept me guessing until the end. I found the film memorable. I'm legitimately scared by the doppelgangers and the thought of someone looking just like me is out there lurking in the shadows. I can understand why people like Get Out more than Us but I love them both. I think they're two classics from a wonderful director. I think that one day Us will be looked at differently.
