Does Jordan Peele's latest live up to the hype? Nope. Not at all.

Nope was easily one of the most anticipated flicks of the summer and why wouldn't it be? Jordan Peele is a phenomenal talent and the brilliantly secretive marketing kept us all guessing in the best possible way.

Therefore, it's a damn shame that Nope falls so far short of its stratospheric potential.

While not a bad movie at all, Nope is still a complete and utter mess that juggles far too many characters and plot-lines for its own good. Perhaps the worst example of this is how the opening flash-forward has virtually no bearing on the rest of the story whatsoever, but the whole thing is a bit of a jumble.

Furthermore, there's nothing in the way of atmosphere or scares, the characters have no chemistry with each other and stakes are pretty much non-existent.

To be fair to Nope, it's also got some really great ideas and it is a terrific as a piece of filmmaking, so it's definitely the best movie on this list. Nonetheless, it'll probably disappoint you at least a little, especially if you're expecting another Get Out.
