Your first mistake was going in expecting to watch a horror movie. It's not horror, and neither was Get Out or Us.

I can agree about most of what you said about the characters.

As for the monster, I'm happy they left a lot unexplained. I think it's bad when a film explains everything about those kind of elements (one of my main gripes about Prometheus and Alien Covanent).

A lot of people refer to Nope as Sky Jaws and I think that's pretty accurate.

In my life, there have been two movies where I thought the 3D was actually worth something, and they're both Avatar movies. In every other situation I think 3D is a worse experience all around.

I wanted to like it.. I really did. But the clunkiness of the equipment (glasses mainly) and the unnecessary 3d effects when not needed/wanted just was too much. I mean, I bought the latest 3d tv and dvd player back in the day but it just gave me headaches (literally and figuratively) in the long run.

I haven't tried recently so I don't know if there have been any advances in quality, but I know the last time I tried one it made me dizzy and gave me a headache. Was not an experience I wanted to repeat.

I think he’s hit or miss, but mostly hit. Sometimes he feels a little out of place because they want him acting like a tough guy, but I don’t buy him as a particularly masculine rough and tumble guy.

But a movie like Wolf of Wall Street or Django Unchained, where he had a chance to emote and talk alot, then he just oozes charisma.

For me it depends...

If the film was originally shot in 3D, then I enjoy them immensely. But if the film was originally shot in 2D and then processed to create a 3D version, then no... I do not enjoy them.

I was fortunate enough to go to theaters during the mini-resurgence of 3D films back in the 80's and see these films during their theatrical runs...
