A Quiet Place 2

fritzelly

I don't get the love for part 2 - I enjoyed it for what it was but it was nothing more than a rehash of the same story in a different location and with no ending, roll on Part 3

So many dumb actions in the movie that would have been acceptable in the first but having lived in this world for 18 months you wouldn't have done
Why wear no shoes when everyone else is? Hobnail boots are obviously out but...

It was obviously a cash cow decision to make it without any thought to the story

I enjoyed it. It’s pretty much the same as the first, maybe not as exciting because we knew what to expect. I don’t really see where the plot can go from here but excited anyway.

Enjoyed this immensely,

did anyone get Lost vibes at the jetty scene with the boat freaky people and especially after they get to the island and come across the community there Lost vibes again when they discover The Other's living quarters.

Loved the first one, and was really looking forward to this but left totally underwhelmed.

Took an hour to get any kind of focus on what the point was, and even then it dragged. Felt like a random episode of the walking dead, not a tight, tense 90 minute hold your breath movie like it could have been.

The split plotline thing in the last 3rd felt so unconnected. Big fan of John Krasinski but can't be a cheerleader here.

Enjoyed that. It's definitely more of the same but it's still good for that. Opening sequence is really good.

It's a bit predictable, and hits familiar beats but still enjoyable.

Don't really think there's legs for a third. If it scales, then they'd have to shoehorn in the family, and if it doesn't, there's no real new place for the family's story to go.

I enjoyed it but nothing like the first part. A few issues with it that's leading into the standard horror film series litany of continuity errors (SPOILER ALERT!!!)

• I think we seen WAAYY to much of the creatures in part 2 compared to part 1. The threat of them and our imagination is scarier than the tonnes of CGI used in part 2
• Their vulnerability to bullets varies significantly. In part 1 we see that they move so fast it's nearly impossible to shoot one but the high frequency sound can disorientate them and keep them relatively still, enough for a shotgun cartridge to kill one. In part 2 however we see that in their normal state they're basically impervious to gunfire except when they're confused by sound, in which case a round from a handgun can kill them. Makes no sense
• People were loud in this one, they talked (ok whispered loudly) but compare this to part 1 where they could hardly breath without fear of attracting the creatures
• The very cliché horror movie act of just killing off the black character as soon as he's relevant to the story was just a bit of an eyeroll for me, and the way he died (shear stupidity rather than any act of bravery) was just generic, old fashioned, Hollywood racist muck.
• Some logic fails, if the creatures landed on the USA mainland and cannot swim (and do not possess the technology to overcome this) then certainly a large majority of the world would still be normal, with normal radio and tv broadcasts (unless they stow away in container ships for long periods which seems unlikely given how aggressive they are). With the rest of the world as normal there would surely be large scale counter-offensives organised by the rest of the world within the first year, certainly their vulnerability to high frequencies would have been discovered quite quickly by the world's remaining governments)
• There must be a lot of them creatures (hundreds of millions of them) if every person in the continental USA is always within earshot of one yet the characters can walk for tens of kms and not see a single one at rest (they come to you)
• These creatures clearly are not intelligent enough to overcome their sight issues, lack of swimming ability etc. therefore unlikely they have the technology to travel from some distant planet, only way they can further explain this is if they arrived by design of a more intelligent species or through some accident (due to fault of a more intelligent species), perhaps there'll be further explanation in part 3.
• Something that evolved on another planet would be unlikely to be interested in eating (or be even able to digest) alien organic matter (no more than we'd fancy eating an alien from area 51)
• With most of the people (and animals) already eaten, the creatures would then starve to death after some weeks. They're massive things and they move very fast, that's a high calorie demand

Gave this a watch and really enjoyed it!

Actually guessed the story all wrong based on the trailers and most remembering Cillian Murphy from his Batman film roles as scarecrow. So I was thinking he might be gonna betray them or the people on the Island were up to something no good. Was kinda glad neither was the case in the end.

These Aliens seem to be just kinda like weapons I'm guessing then. Clear out and hold onto the land on a planet from the looks of things.

Like how the film showed the arrival and gave more detail to them.

Think the people in the boating area had come up with a daft plan. Maybe they never tested it before, I dunno.

I'd be guessing any future doesn't need to hang onto the silence now that they have weapons. Maybe a jump into the future and the kids are grown up soldiers..

Well then.. I better watch Pig

This is the spin-off that Jeff Nicholas was previously attached to rather than part 3 with Emily Blunt etc. It's not clear if part 3 is also going to happen.
