100% on Rotten Tomatoes

I reckon it will end up at 97 or 98% Fresh (which is still remarkably good). Genre films rarely stay at 100% Fresh.

reply

Not if people are desperate to virtue-signal by overrating 'black' films.

reply

I wonder if the first negative review will be attacked.

reply

Wonder why..

reply

Because it's a good film? Not difficult to believe after Get Out, and the stunning trailer.

reply

Finger's crossed... at least it looks like it's not another blatant ripoff like Get Out.

reply

its not a very good film, its slow boring and predictable. Besides it is not a horror film there was more funny one liners in the film than anything scary. The best parts about the film are the lead actress who was outstanding and the teenage girl who did a very good creepy evil face.

reply

Another film from Jordan Peele where race potentially plays a large part again, with a 100% RT rating so far. Forgive me if I feel it might be getting a wee bit overrated on account of the race aspect.

reply

According to a dunce on this forum you're in the minority, but really, anyone who doesn't see this probably also thinks MJ is innocent.

reply

Having said what I've said, there have been other very highly rated horrors on there without black cast members or any race element. I like The Babadook, Under the Shadow and It Follows and they all have close to 100% fresh ratings with many votes. TB has 98% with over 200 votes.

It is apparent though that some virtue signalling does exist with racial movies today. No other way to explain Black Panther getting an Oscar nom. Like Black Panther and Get Out and quite possibly those mentioned above, I would expect Us to be good but not 'THAT' good.

reply

That's just it. None of those got Oscar attention nor were they considered to be 'snubbed'. I have to say the ratings on those movies make me feel 'a little' better, but again, the fact the Get Out WON an Oscar ticks me off. To me that's saying that Get Out is the only worthy horror to come along in a long time. And the Black Panther thing was also a joke. It has everything to do with people screaming to the world that they are recognizing 'black art', I'm pretty sure these are the people that Get Out was REALLY satirizing!

reply

I too was ticked when GET OUT won an oscar for best original screenplay... mostly because it was a copy of The Skeleton Key just race swapping.

reply

According to a dunce on this forum you're in the minority, but really, anyone who doesn't see this probably also thinks MJ is innocent.


And the award for most nonsensical, dunce comment in the thread goes to...

reply

"Dunce comment" What a clever reply. Are you the dunce (I can't remember who that pathetic person was)?

reply

In a thread filled with ridiculous comments yours somehow managed to beat them all so congratulations.

reply

Ugh you must be a 9 year old. Boring.

reply

Says the individual who casually makes nonsensical troll/childlike comments and simply deflects when called out on it. 🙄

reply

Not nonsensical. You probably DO think MJ is innocent and you're just frothing now.

reply

Yes nonsensical. You're entitled to your biased and/or poorly informed rationale however dumb to conclude your own perception of a person's supposed guilt even when all the tangible facts suggest otherwise.

What's nonsensical is your supposition that the people who believe in facts, the kind of facts that resulted
in Jackson being completely exonerated would have a problem seeing this film.

Based on the comments i can see white supremacists/ anti black racists having predisposed bias against a black film.
However white supremacists/anti black racists are almost in complete unison in propogating the lies about Michael Jackson in the latest smear fraudumentary & coordinated efforts by white media to legitimize the entire unethical, racist farce.

Theres a good chance that black people on the other hand would be inclined to see it, especially after the posstive reception of Get Out.

Black people have also pretty overwhelmingly always supported & believed in Michael Jackson's verified innocence. Only in white society is there a significant degree of mixed "debate" over it. Gee. I wonder why that is?

So as it turns out the reality is more likely the exact opposite of the nonsense you suggested.

reply

LMFAO nailed it. You're a TOOL. And also, me and my mom believe/know he is GUILTY and we are BLACK. Sorry, not all black people are too blinded by a 'successful brother' to see the truth and deny the horrible suffering of his victims, who were CHILDREN. He raped CHILDREN. Black people who are supporting him just look like callous fools, just as much as those who are acting like Peele is the director of the century are thick.

reply

I appreciate you conceding on the issue of your nonsensical comment but alright completely authentic, not at all fake black person. Based on what facts do you & your authentic black mother "know" that the overwhelming majority of black people apparently do not that so utterly proves(key word proof) to you & your totally black mom that the extortion cases & racist white media narrative to be true?

I'm eager to see the standard conjecture filled "splainin" nonsenset hat you come up with.

reply

I'm not conceding on shit nitwit but to call someone 'fake' because they don't herd with everyone else like a flock of brainless animals because they don't defend a CHILD RAPIST? You think my brain should be defined by my race? You are a PIECE OF WORK. You do not want any explanation, you are just too pathetic. Someone's talent gives someone permission to sleep with children in your mind. I wish a video would come out showing what MJ did so you can feel as slimy as you are. Probably think R.Kelly is a victim too.

reply

A bunch of babbling and "splainin" as expected. Thank you authentic and not at all fake black person for predictably providing not a single tangible piece of evidence on how you & your authentic black mom have based your claim that you "know" the lies about about Jackson are actually true despite being completely exonerated.

Not a shred of credible evidence just your gut feeling. It's the classic racist lynch mob attitude that has resulted In the lynchings of countless innocent black men in the u.s.


I'm sure you also don't see the complete racist double standard and how the media glosses over the dozens and dozens of "verified" white sexual predators in the entertainment industry who arbitrarily get overlooked entirely by the media.

reply

Talking about a human not being 'authentic' like I'm a Mexican restaurant. I just can't with you. You're a fucking parody of a desperate SJW.

reply

As expected you utterly failed to explain the logic behind the nonsensical idiocy of the comment you got called out for, simply resorting to avoidance & filibuster babbling deflections. You couldn't back up your your b.s. in the slightest and got exposed. Thanks for playing mr. totally not a suspected WS/fake black person.

reply

And he is STILL a child rapist, you deranged clod.

reply

Thank you for conceding that you have absolutely nothing backing up your ignorance Mr. SWS

reply

He licked a 7 year old's anus, anally raped him when he was 14.

reply

Ugh! You've been exposed and discredited, unable to back up any of the nonsensical filth you're spouting, now sadly just trolling to get the last pitiful word in. Pathetic

reply

That's an example of the behavior you are defending. Then he replaced that kid with another. Toting around similar-looking young boys. Never disappearing with females, but young white boys.

reply

🙄

reply

Only a fool would ignore this. He had a 'type'. Just imagine him behind a naked 7 year old. You should be ashamed.

reply

Ugh! A rambling degenerate troll projecting your own sick fantasies.

reply

Still in denial huh? How many people throughout history have turned a blind eye to such foul acts just to maintain a sense of comfort? What utter selfish and pathetic behavior.

reply

As I've said you've already been sufficiently called out, exposed & discredited. Now you're simply intent on endlessly & pathetically babbling away for the last inept word so I'll let you put yourself out of your own misery. Go ahead sws troll. You're done.

reply

Only in your delusional mind have I been 'called out' on anything. So you think I'm not black? And that's your definition of me being called out? Well you are just wrong, but there's nothing I can do about that you little baby. You are also defending a pedophile.

reply

I'm with threadkiller on this one - I don't think you're really black since you have never once referred to him as "Cuz", and haven't even said "knowhutum sayn?" to make sure he understands that which you are discoursing upon.

reply

I feel the need to correct you. They don't "think" Michael is innocent. They are aware of the fact he's innocent. They were rational skeptics who studied the evidence in full and became informed.

If you're the kind of simpleton that's easily persuaded by circumstantial evidence, don't pretend that you jumping to conclusions is anyone else's problem.

reply

Even if your think you're being rational, to conclude that there's no evidence and that he's INNOCENT are two different things. You're a pathetic celebrity-worshiping child rape supporter.

reply

ended up not having anything to do with race so....

reply

58 and counting

reply

I like peele's previous work. I hope this is good. RT doesn't make that determination though. That will be on the audience.

reply

we will see

reply

Exactly. I just hope theres no culture war or political hype surrounding this outside of the film. That stuff's getting old from all sides.

reply

Have to keep those ''African Americans'' happy or they riot. Aren't you Americans ever tired of pacifying these entitled brats? Giving them awards, EBT and rent free apartment units. Kick em out.

reply

We're not all that stupid.

reply

I am Canadian.

reply

Hey man at least they're decent movies, overrated and over-hyped? Absolutely, but still decent movies. It's once movies like 'Get Out' and 'Black Panther' get Oscar noms based on race and politics rather than their own merit that I start to shake my head. 'Get Out' was a blatant ripoff of 'The Skeleton Key' just with the races reversed... yet it wins Best Original Screenplay? okaaaay. Then there's 'Black Panther' with its various nominations... clearly undeserved. BP was about as average as a superhero movie can get. 'Us' is another decent movie, but with plot holes galore.

reply

ended up with 14 bad reviews. 238 positive.

reply

The critics were right on this one. It's not as good as Get Out but it's a very entertaining horror thriller.
