Title: A Quiet Place 2 Post by: WingedSerpent on July 05, 2021, 05:48:53 PM Not awful, but I definitely liked the first one more. It doesn't feel much like a sequel, so much as the extension of the first movie's third act.

We both liked it. I like how new characters were introduced, more depth were given to the returning characters from A Quiet Place, the world that the movie takes place in was expanded beyond just the Abbot family.

I think this benefited by being one of the first big-budget Hollywood movies back in theaters after reopening. If it had been released in a week with a lot of competition it might have been overlooked. Title: Re: A Quiet Place 2 Post by: WingedSerpent on July 21, 2021, 08:04:34 PM I don't think this one had the same inventiveness as the first one. I liked the bits where they showed how they lived minimizing sound as much as they could. Kind of felt like maybe they forgot a few of their ideas as well.
Also, the trailer made it seem that the whole people have become as bad as the monsters angle would have played a much bigger role in the movie. It exists for a scene or two. And while I don't want to deep into spoilers, they do introduce a new weakness for the aliens that makes it feel like a lot more people should have survived the apocalypse.

This was just an action movie set in the universe the first one created. Not a lot of new ideas. |
