I wouldnt say i hate the movie, but it for sure wasnt a like. This was def his weakest movie and i feel people just dont want to admit they didnt like it. Peele is suppose to the "savior" of horror so people would lose thier minds if they didnt like it

Reply to comment by rhofl in I hated the film 'Nope' by jonah_wilkie

To a general audience, I wouldn't think so. Many people didn't see the connection of Gordy to the main plot and were confused by it.

Also this film is pretty layered I'd say, going from the idea of exploitation to Jean Jacket being a representation of the film industry. I don't think a lot of people would have gotten that on a first watch, or at least instantly. I certainly didn't.

I disagree with your assessment, except for what you said about Angel. The inclusion of that character is odd. Personally, I would be pissed if some employee kept showing up to my house unannounced like that. I wouldn’t mind a version of this movie without him, but having said that he doesn’t ruin the movie.

I'd probably say Con Air for sheer popcorn entertainment and Face/Off for the closest John Woo was allowed to translate his Hong Kong blood opera style to Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. I've never actually cared for The Rock and always felt it was where Michael Bay's "Bayisms" were beginning to take hold with the overly long runtime and overly sombre military scenes mixed with Bay's trademarked juvenile humor.

Not enough content.

I mean they would probably want to couple this with the most successful piece of hardware in their arsenal: the playstation and PS online. This is the biggest in - millions of people have both the hardware and the service. They can couple it in to make it stickier to an already loyal fan base. But I argue that gamers don't really care about additional content as opposed to exclusive titles, game streaming, etc.
