re: Get Out - 100% RT Score

So, still 100%? So, better than The Godfather, Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, Animal House, The Incredibles, and the 1984 Ghostbusters? Sorry, while I have no doubt the movie is good and I do plan to see it, this smells like politically driven criticism to me.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I didn't think it was a big deal at all.

I thought I'd be getting some kind of truly clever subtext or commentary about race whilst intertwined into a horror movie, but that was not the case.

I'm sorry, but you've got to come up with better dialogue than one of the party guests asking the girlfriend "Is it better?" Wow, we've all never heard that old wives' tale before!

The best friend was a total cliche', the writing had so many f-bombs...to me, that just doesn't make for anything compelling. I was thinking there would be more laughs as well.

I will say that it did a good job with providing some really weird characters who weren't on screen too much - the brother, the gardener, the missing guy, etc. But there wasn't anything interesting or likeable about the 2 people who are on screen for most of the movie.

Pretty much, I thought I wasted my time.
