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.


Perhaps it just went over your head

Yeah, its white people are evil instead, but the reviews are based on white guilt. I read a detailed synopsis. Not very impressive as a horror movie but works wonders to forward the narrative that white people prey on blacks.


The random viewer reviews on RT are at 90% positive, so this theory simply doesn't hold up. Even with ample opportunity for angry white people to write negative reviews, only 10% claim they didn't enjoy it.

So the tired black comedian bit. 

Damn. . .and I wanted to like this movie 

Black comedy in a nutshell: 

White people be all like. . .black people be all like. . .Sex and big booties. . .my Mom used to beat me. . .Thank you, goodnight


Well you come off as a real dumbarse.

Don't most comedians make fun of other races including their own?

Saw this Friday. One of the best movies I've seen in awhile. It was actually much creepier then I expected. The female care taker did a hell of a job with her role and I thought was terrifying

I love the fact that Jodan Peele is actually married to a white woman.

I saw it this weekend. While I was not blown away by it, it was a good movie. It's actually kinda impressive considering it's Jordan Peele's directorial debut.

The casting was superb, the dialogue was engaging and the camera works were great (i.e. tight closeups for creepy moments). It was definitely worth seeing.

However, I had a misfortune of seeing the film with an easily impressed audience that clapped and whooped at every damn climax moment incessantly.

Get Out pulled in an estimated $35 million this weekend and it only cost a reported $4.5 million to make.

Horror is dominating at the box office so far in 2017

Saw it today. Was a good movie. Not overly impressed to say the least. Not worthy of the 99% on RT for sure.

I don't have a problem with 99% of critics liking it.

230 fresh vs. 1 rotten review. Someone's always gotta be that guy.

From National Review, they gave the Civil Rights movement similar reviews in the 50s and 60s.

But the reviews are insane.
quote:


Jordan Peele's semi-parodic horror film Get Out has a complexity worthy of its historical moment. - NY review


What does that even mean?
quote:


A near-perfect cinematic achievement.


quote:


A ravenous masterpiece tailor made for America's current climate.


The movie is black Stepford Wives.

Get Out is now ranked on RT with:

A Wizard of Oz
The Godfather
Citizen Kane
North by Northwest
The Maltese Falcon
Taxi Driver
Seven Samurai
Dr. Strangelove
Battleship Potempkin

Watched it last night and it's a really, really good movie but it's not going to be a masterpiece like the films you mentioned are
