Que opinas de la última peli?
Missing the accent on 'qué' turns the interrogative pronoun into a conjunction, making the sentence grammatically incorrect.
el última peli
The adjective must agree in gender with the noun; 'película' (or its slang 'peli') is feminine, so use 'la última'.
último peli
Again, gender agreement – use 'última' with the feminine noun.

Using 'peli' in a formal context can sound overly casual; opt for 'película' in professional or academic settings.
