Us’ third act >>> Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s Since we're comparing things with nothing in common: The Godfather Part II's third act >>> Ted's Peele at least wrote an ending and not a mad-lib.

Since we're comparing things with nothing in common: The Godfather Part II's third act >>> Ted's Peele at least wrote an ending and not a mad-lib. For me, it's more of a tough one. Fredo's assassination is one of film's most iconic scenes, but Giovanni Ribisi's dancing is also peak cinema.

Am I the only one who didn't hate the third act? Apart from the exposition I had pretty much no problems with it.

Terrific opening scene - the busy colorful visuals, editing, conveying POV (feeling "behind" and alienated and curious), and especially the sound design. The next 30min or so are great too, lotta details, creepy score, a felt family unit and starts of psychological disorder. At this point it's better than any of Get Out imo. And then Peele runs out of good ideas. He has a controlled set-up but nothing really clever or eerie to add after. This would've worked better if they kept it domestic, close, psychological - bc the movie just doesn't deliver on the broader development when they bring in the global epidemic of sorts in the news I think then Peele tries to overcompensate in his execution for a lack of much going on that is 1) remotely believable or 2) scary. Ultimately so-so and predictable. My audience was audibly calling out "the twist" and generally didn't seem to like the movie. Idea: bring in the twist earlier, nix the other clones (maybe bring up as a twist later on...or not), make Red's arrival more personal and vengeful, have them one by one assume 'take over' each family role where once this safety net is breached they have to question each other So all in all, I think I prefer Get Out, which despite being overrated has the better perfs and plays more cleverly to the audience. Almost all of this. I can pinpoint the exact moment this movie stopped working, and that is when Red opened her mouth. The film was genuinely intense and creepy before that, but the exposition that is vomited at us throughout the rest of the film is just... bad. Also, I guessed the twist before the opening credits rolled, and that's sad. And can someone explain to me how this works as metaphor? The film is such a confused disaster that I can't really see what Peele was attempting to say. It is such a colossal failure as a simple genre vehicle that I can't wrap my head around how anyone can see an intelligent thought behind the doppelganger invasion. Sure, you could make up "meaning" for the doppelgangers, but how does that mean that it's effective at putting forward a viewpoint?

It's so cute to look back at how much I tried to convince myself I liked this movie last year... Almost one year has passed and God, this is nearly M Night Shyamalan bad. Not only the third act, but that whole "we're americans!!!!!" stuff when the clones arrive at the house... Jesus, it was dreadful and aged so poorly.
