Twitter users haven’t responded kindly to Logan Paul’s lengthy statement claiming that Jordan Peele’s Nope is “one of the worst movies” he’s seen “in a long time. 

Over thirteen different tweets, the YouTuber picked apart the film and explained exactly why he didn’t like it.

““NOPE” is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. I love Jordan Peele and Keke Palmer can act her ass off, but this movie is objectively slow and confusing with stretched themes that don’t justify the pace (a thread),” he began.

Paul asked questions about the movie, including why some characters had “deep voices” and why certain characters were “underutilized”.

“Why was Barbie Ferreira, an incredible acting talent, so underutilized in this movie? Why was she even in the movie?” Paul wrote in one Tweet.

He continued in another, “The deep-voiced cinematographer was cryptic for no reason other than to be cryptic. You’re telling me this guy was willing to die because he wanted better lighting to capture the ET? For real?”

Paul even went as far as to criticise the storyline of the film, a move that upset many fans considering Peele’s impressive filmmaking talent and accolades.

“My next point — the story line is all over the place. In a crowd of 40 people, the actress who was mauled on the set of Gordy’s Home was there… why?” He wrote.

Peele fans have come for Paul in the comments section, criticising his long tweets and pointing out that his questions could be answered by a simple Google search.

“It’s funny when someone thinks they know what they’re talking about and totally misses when talking about a film. Could have literally Googled it and it’d make sense,” wrote one follower.

Another added, “You just wrote a whole essay god damn”.

A third wrote, “You were in The Thinning. Don’t ever speak on Jordan Peele again”

Though Nope only marks Peele’s third time directing, he has already racked up a reputation as one of the most in-demand directors in Hollywood. He has previously directed horror movies Us (2019) and Get Out (2017).

Get Out earnt Peele a screenwriting Oscar and was one of the highest-grossing films of 2017. Us was also a commercial success, grossing $255.1 million worldwide. While Peele directed both projects, eagle-eyed viewers will recognise him as the voice of the fun house narrator in Us.

Nope is coming to cinemas in Australia on 11 August 2022.
