An overhyped film

Rating: 2/10 (4 February 2020)

So let me start off by saying I was really looking forward to watching Us because it seemed very unique and unique it was, but not in the good way. Us was a very boring scattered film, falls under the Horror/Thriller genre yet During the whole runtime of this movie there wasn't even one scene that left me fearful or thrilled, more like bored and disappointed. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying to just throw a bunch of blood and mayhem on the screen or jump scares but what I'm saying is, the movie isn't scary. Some of the acting is really good but honestly not enough to save this dumpster fire. People out there made it seem like this movie was a classic of some sort, a masterpiece and I'm here to tell you, that is absolutely FALSE!!!!!! This movie doesn't even come close to being a masterpiece and even Jordan Peele's -Get Out was overrated in my opinion. I feel we live in such a delusional world nowadays that when a black director makes a film with a predominantly black cast people automatically praise the film. Do I hate Jordan Peele as a director? Absolutely not, I love his unique ideas on cinema and I think he has an unseen gem headed our way in the near future but as of right now, I was highly disappointed with Get Out and Especially Us but am still optimistic, about Jordan Peele and his future as a director.
