Good, not great, follow up. Some good suspense-filled scenes and solid emotive performances since there's not a whole lot of dialogue. The first one was better as a whole but this is a worthwhile sequel, simplistic which is a plus, no unnecessary drama on the human side. Don't know if I'll revisit it anytime soon but as a one-off viewing, it works well enough. **3.5/5**
A Quiet Place Part II ditches the tension and the stealth the first film was known for and introduces more monsters, more action, more characters, and more of a world that’s barely hanging on by a thread. Lee’s oldest kids become the key players here, with Emily Blunt’s Evelyn Abbott taking a backseat, while Murphy proves why he’s one of the most underrated actors working today. Overall, A Quiet Place Part II is an exceptionally entertaining sequel with quality performances and a primary focus on monster mayhem which, as horror and suspense fans, we should all get behind.

**A Quiet Place Part II is a marvelous sequel that rises to the heights of its predecessor and possibly beyond!** It is nearly impossible to choose which is better: the original or the sequel. A Quiet Place: Part II expands the world of A Quiet Place outside of the Abbott farm adding new survivors and new locations. The characters become richer and more endearing as they develop throughout. There is even more to learn about the fearsome creatures as well. Part II boasts incredibly tense scenes that rival the first film that will have you on the edge of your seat and your heart pounding. There are some frustrating scenes where characters make idiotic decisions that build tension but also a slight annoyance, but alas, so are all horror films. This film is as good as the first and expands the franchise's universe with the hope of more epic, suspenseful-filled sequels.
More standard fare. 'A Quiet Place Part II' is, for all intents and purposes, 'Stranger Things' meets 'The Walking Dead' (I am here for the Eleven and Rick crossover, tbf). I may hold issues with the first film, though at least you can definitely class it as original given the use of sound. That 2018 film is very much enviroment-based, whereas this 2020 flick is far more human-based - and not in the best way. I still didn't dislike it, but I can't honestly say I found entertainment in it either - despite it having Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy, two actors I tend to enjoy a lot. They are good here though, don't get me wrong. I found this one to be more forgettable and ploddy, like does anything tangible actually happen? I'm struggling to remember anything, and I've only just finished watching. It's a pretty straightforward affair, this. I will note, however, that Millicent Simmonds does a neat job with her role throughout - an improvement from 'A Quiet Place', certainly (not that she is anything bad in that, mind). Here's hoping Part III holds the first film's ilk. Admittedly, at least this one doesn't feature any moments as overtly stupid as its predecessor does (well, actually... OK, I'll let you off this time, Marcus).
The "A Quiet Place" franchise has truly delivered a remarkable and unexpected story that has captured my attention in ways I never imagined. While I have previously reviewed the original movie, I am now diving into this extraordinary series. The first film introduced a concept rarely seen in cinema, with its focus on minimal dialogue. Despite the absence of traditional conversations, the movie keeps viewers engaged and on the edge of their seats. The actors and actresses involved in the film are exceptionally well-suited to the unique demands of the story. One aspect that stands out is the portrayal of the creatures without relying on overdone CGI effects. This choice creates a sense of suspense and keeps audiences guessing about the story's direction. The film's ability to sustain excitement is truly commendable. In the sequel, the story delves deeper into the characters' journeys within this terrifying world. While there is slightly more dialogue, the film still maintains its gripping silence from the start and keeps viewers engrossed throughout. Even when encountering what appears to be alien characters, the film avoids excessive use of CGI, ensuring that the creatures are not portrayed in a ridiculous or unbelievable manner. Overall, the "A Quiet Place" franchise offers a unique and enthralling viewing experience that defies expectations and keeps audiences invested in its suspenseful narrative.
Boring, forgettable and done by the numbers horror action movie. There is no original thought to this sequel. The first one had a great focus: Two parents looking out for their children in a sci-fi scenario that did not make sense but you accepted it, because the rest of the movie was great. The concept was original, interesting and made you feel family values. Now, it feels thrown together. There are several boring subplots where the remains of the family another third character are put into scenes where they have to be quiet or fight the same monsters from the same movie, the same way we saw in the first one, but now they have bigger speakers. In addition there is an evil human community that look ugly and dirty (and all white btw) and a diverse good community that helps the protagonists. But its all so soulless. There are no real relationships, no character development except the most basic and overused "I lost my family. I don't want to help you" and 15 min later "I was wrong, I will help you.". This movie isn’t worth more than having it on in the background while you browse the internet. It does not try to be anything more.
