It's quite rare a movie gets less than 4/10 from me. I have a very specific way I rate movies on IMDB, and usually almost all movies that make it to a wide release will fulfill enough criteria to not warrant less than a 4. This is one of those exceptions.
The biggest issue I have with Nope is there isn't a single believable character in the movie. Not only do they each act like complete caricatures of what could be a real character in the movie, but choose to do seemingly random actions that make absolutely no sense. I have, quite simply, never seen such a terrible job of character development in what would be considered an A-tier Hollywood movie. Ever.
There's a certain sense of validation I get from watching this movie though, because I was left baffled seeing Jordan Peele being praised for Get Out, a movie I thought was equally as bad (although slightly more tolerable than Nope) and had left me wondering if I was watching the world devolve into madness.
Perhaps the perfect nail on the coffin for this mess of a movie is the title. An absolutely idiotic one that perfectly encapsulates exactly what you're going to be subjected to.
Could not un-recommend this movie enough.
