Review of A Quiet Place Part II (2021) by Mrpajamas — 15 Jun 2021

A Quiet Place: Part II isn't quite as quiet as it was in the first episode. There is a lot more action and especially noise. So it's up to you how you perceive this change. Some may be disappointed, because the charm of the first part, where there was often not much going on and it was mostly silent, is not so much here.

On the one hand, some might find these scenes uninteresting to the point of being boring. As for whom I would say. Personally, although I enjoyed the first film, I wasn't one of the biggest fans of the silence where there was no talking at all and it was all about survival, so I'm glad when those scenes were replaced here with proper action that I really devoured.

The CGI monsters look really good. On top of all that, it's still A Quiet Place after all, because there are still scenes where a character goes step by step and isn't allowed to make the slightest noise.

Although there are significantly fewer of these scenes, they are of good quality and I'm only glad they added the action ones, which I enjoyed. I also praise the new character of Emmett, played here by Cillian Murphy, who we have already seen, for example, as Scarecrow from Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

The only catch for me here was the ending, which is in a similar style to the first film and simply gets you fired up for the next one and leaves you waiting a few years for the next installment. Otherwise a good film for me and a hilarious sequel that I recommend.
