Logan Paul has given his two cents on Jordan Peele's new movie and the review is being reviewed by people on social media.
Safe to say, people aren't too fond of the YouTuber's opinions.
The social media star declared on Twitter that Nope is one of the worst movies he's seen in a long time.

Paul added that the movie was too slow and confusing, and didn't have enough themes to justify its length and pace.
"It’s not hard to conceptualize something disturbing (a trained Chimp goes animalistic and mauls an entire set, or a UFO devours anything in its path) — it IS hard to sensibly tie it to the plot, which was done remarkably poor here," he wrote.
In a 10-part tweet thread, he highlighted what he believed were loads of plot holes or issues he had with the movie.
We're not going to list them here as some are spoilers for the film.
Nope is a science-fiction horror that stars Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya.
It follows two ranch-owning siblings who recruit a tech salesman and a renowned cinematographer to try and capture and sell video evidence of an unidentified flying object
While there were some people on Twitter who agreed with Paul's review, a large portion did not and explained why it might have gone over his head.
One person wrote: "Logan Paul who famously recorded a man hanging him self for views, misses the point of a movie about the exploitation of tragedy."
Another added: "Man who will do anything for a spectacle doesn't understand a movie about how doing/ignoring/capitalizing on bad things for spectacle is bad."
A third said: "Look everyone has their own taste but I'm sorry, I cannot understand how this was a confusing film to anyone unless they're only used to watching Marvel movies where the plot is spoonfed to you."
Everyone is entitled to their opinions on media and Logan is well within his rights not to enjoy the film.
Rotten Tomatoes currently lists the film at 82 per cent, which means it's been certified fresh.
The review site's critical consensus states: "Admirable for its originality and ambition even when its reach exceeds its grasp, Nope adds Spielbergian spectacle to Jordan Peele's growing arsenal."
Paul finished his review by saying: "I love Peele, the VFX & aesthetic.
"[But] I can feel him attempting to recreate the shock from Get Out and Us.
"Mystery, violent allure & cinematic choices made for the sake of reaction instead of legitimate contribution to the storyline killed this movie for me."
