10	Leonardis	95 _85th
I for one really enjoyed the movie and thought it was just as good, if not better, than the first. While not quite as emotionally resonating, it still has heart and it's very character driven, which is what makes this franchise as good as it is in my opinion. I do love the monster stuff and the scares and editing though. Very intense, really well acted and edited, and almost masterfully directed. The intro is incredible too. I honestly wouldn't mind another one!
5	Luna6ix	70 _34th
A little bit more enjoyable than the first, but that's probably an unshared opinion. This one has a tad more monsters and killing, which is basically the only reason I wanted to watch it anyway, except for Emily Blunt. Krasinski can stuff his hot wife in any movie and I'll be there to watch it...I didn't mean it like that, you dirty bastard.
5	mandy	7 _73rd
Very well put together- I really enjoyed this - first trip to cinema since the pandemic- and it seemed more relevant in many ways than the first- still keeps that intense feeling.
5	Quintonjamin	80 _80th
I think a strength of this film is that it felt fresh despite not branching out too much. It continued the story of the first extremely well and in my opinion wraps it all up. All the acting is great, especially from the two kid actors Simmonds and Jupe. I hope they end it here.
4	twincinema	60 _36th
Before this started, there was an intro with Krasinski thanking me personally for seeing this in the theatre. I felt touched. After spending so much of the Pandemic unable to get a haircut, I was amazed with how good the family looked despite having access to nothing. Drop the skincare routine! There were a lot of tense moments in this, however, it felt empty. I had no investment in the human story this film was telling. Maybe I am just a cold, emotionless robot.
4	BillyShears	75 _65th
No it's not like the ending of Mars Attacks! I wonder how stupid this shoeless family felt when Cillian came swinging in with boots on.
4	aross	50 _48th
Very similar to the first one, though not in a bad way. Very suspenseful thriller that adds just enough to not be a pointless rehash. I fully expect to see part 3
3	frederic_g54	7 _57th
With its world and premise now clearly established, Krasinski takes the liberty of introducing us with new characters while building upon what already worked rather swingingly in its predecessor, most notably, its ingenious and challenging use of sound and image that makes for some truly tense and gripping sequences, the opening sequence of which is worth the price of admission alone. Krasinski should've really been considered to direct The Last of Us series because this movie is exactly that.
3	INDYATMN	90 _88th
Wow, who knew Jim from the Office had, so far, 2 great horror films in him? There's an opening sequence of a car backing away from a bus that had me on the edge of my seat & 2 points in the movie that have 2 effectively suspenseful scenes match cut w/ each other & mirroring what's happening in the other scene. I still noticed that he couldn't figure out how to explain how the hell the monster got to the island on that boat so he just dumped the boat there, but this is so good I'll allow it.
3	oldgoat	66 _41st
Idiot girl continues to do idiot things and movie applauds her as the true hero. How long till she runs out of family to endanger? Check out part 3!
3	Jerky	60 _72nd
A solid sequel that starts where the first one ended, save for a quick flashback prologue, that was honestly more interesting than the rest of the movie. I need a true prequel!
3	eCitizen	50 _49th
Someone thought this idiotic premise needed another treatment. Absent Emily Blunt and it would be just another heaping pile of Hollywood garbage. If a dame with a shotgun can kill one, then the military would make short work of the entire invading force. This is proof that Emily Blunt can make even the worst piece of garbage worthwhile. But FFS why not make something truly great instead? Cash grab!
3	JLFM	86 _91st
There are some extensive bravura sequences of directorial excellence here, including the incredible opening as well as a thrilling three-way-cross-cut sequence late in the film. It's absolutely exemplary genre filmmaking. There's some fairness to the criticism Krasinski faced previously about being too much of a crowd-pleaser to take any genuine risks. But then again, many of those people say the same thing about Spielberg, and I guarantee none of them get invited to parties.
3	feritdgn	73 _66th
A Quiet Place Part II doesn't promise story-wise innovations, but in my opinion, it was much more gripping, exciting and terrifying than the first movie. Krasinski has improved himself quite a bit in directing. (08/12/2021 - Cinemaximum Akasya)
2	MadMan	90 _67th
I liked this but not as much as the first one. Also looks like they channeled The Last of Us quite a bit.
2	Ytadel	6 _70th
pwecious wittle awiens have vewy sensitive eardwums- plz no high noise, u hurt they feewings 😢
2	msprague	85 _91st
Excellent. Good followup to the first.
2	Ofterdingen	70 _75th
Krasinski is a very competent director. Others should watch and learn.
2	panzerwolf	77 _75th
In a lot of ways, it's better than the previous movie. There are way more intense situations and the plot is a little less idiotic than in the first part. I wouldn't have minded a full on origins story, either. Sometimes finding out how the apocalypse starts is more interesting than the apocalypse itself.
2	Obdurate	85 _80th
There are diminishing returns so it's not quite as good as the first but I still love it. A step down in tension and emotional resonance but still effective. It lacks the chemistry between Krasinski and Blunt even though everybody involved does a really good job. What it still does amazing is how it uses sound, which is sort of essential for a film with this premise. There's one scene in particular that exemplifies it but it's all great. John still directing the shit out of this series.
2	TheRealJ-Ro	80 _70th
We saw a refreshing (and necessary) expansion of the Quiet Place universe in Part II, while all involved maintained the tense, closed-in tone. I'm quite confident that even with a third installment coming in 2023, it won't veer nearly as far off course as, say, "Paranormal Activity". Cillian Murphy as always does great work, and while Blunt still got to shine (as if you could stop her), the kids each took steps forward in their characters as well. Not far behind its predecessor. Give me more!
2	DavidBlast	60 _54th
Better than your average Netflix alien invasion horror flick, especially for a sequel. But. It doesn’t expand upon a universe with an alien invasion that, pussyfoot around as Krasinski might, was established in the first movie to be rubbish.
2	mattorama12	70 _61st
Great follow up, and Krasinski continues to show off his directing chops. I think this struck that perfect balance for a sequel of keeping the heart of what worked, but expanding enough to feel fresh. And hard to complain about anything when you take something that was good and then add Cillian Murphy on top.
2	SirSass	75 _83rd
Awkward walk back to the island people after causing half of them to die. "But we saved you in the end." Tarantino loves the fact that the family continues to go shoeless.
2	magdabag	93 _89th
With a stellar performance from the whole cast, especially a leading Millicent Simmonds, and a, even more than capable direction from Krasinski, this is an emotionally thrilling addition to the AQP franchise.
2	batolo	70 _45th
All the contrived situations and illogical behavior are far more obtrusive and difficult to overlook than the first film. The girl's plan is nonsensical and wouldn't have worked if not for disastrous unplanned events (which leave everyone in a worse situation than they were in at the beginning).
2	amazedemon	64 _50th
Krasinski shows his range with Part 2 through an overuse of contrived parallel narratives. The plot seems to struggle the fill the runtime making the film occasionally feel slow or pointless, and the methodology for keeping silent, that defined the first film, seem to only apply when convenient. The hit in logic is at least compensated by decent (if a tad melodramatic) action sequences. The cinematography is good, though I frequently got The Last of Us vibes, and I haven't even played the game.
2	philamental	46 _15th
After a wonderfully tense and borderline great original that really didn't require a sequel we get one anyway and it's not very good. How Krasinski and Blunt's characters combined in the part 1 was a big part of why it worked, and with the former missing and the latter spending so much time on her own Part 2 becomes a more standard mediocre thriller. Murphy is dull as the clichéd and predictable reluctant protector and the cross cutting of the action scenes removed rather than enhanced tension
2	Yoshinaruto	90 _97th
The first film did a great job creating tension since the characters couldn’t make noise (like Don’t Breathe), but this sequel actually goes against that for a good chunk of its runtime by giving the characters multiple safe spaces. Despite that, it does manage to get back on track with the third act, which is one silo scene away from matching the first. Murphy is a great addition, and it’s entertaining enough, although the end does feel abrupt. Definitely open to a third.
2	Iamdwg (Interpreting the Stars)	94 _93rd
A Quiet Place II is just as thrilling as the first film in terms of tension, which seems to be dialed up a level, but the narrative is a little mediocre, as the mystery behind these creatures weakness has already been discovered in the first. Now they just have to do something about that. Basically, the plot of this movie is what you might imagine it would be - and something you might even write yourself if you wrote fan fiction. Thankfully, the acting, cinematography, and tension is unforgettab
1	Filligan	86 _63rd
Feels more like a satisfying chapter in a longer story than a soulless, repetitive cash grab. Kudos once again to Krasinski, who is only improving as a filmmaker. After the reveals of the first film, the tension and threat could've easily lost steam, but this was just as nail-biting as its predecessor. And I left wanting more!
1	Moribunny	15 _7th
I quite appreciate the acting, actually. The child actors are good, and this one has the capable Cillian Murphy. Also more monster action this time around, not that I care. The script is still utter shit.
1	wayofthegun	75 _54th
Fairly predictable and requires as great of a suspension of disbelief as the first, but if you liked the first one, you will enjoy the sequel.
1	KasperL	80 _86th
Once again delivering lots of tension and entertaining action, this is a very welcome sequel. Bring on Part III!
1	muutanet	75 _74th
The sequel went on from where it stopped in the first film. There was an explanation for what happened in the beginning though the story did not go far from it. But I have to say I liked the world they created.
1	Vandelay1	48 _49th
ok movie
1	eric-jan	75 _74th
Hugely underrated. Really good movie. Starts with some history to introduce a new character to the movie. The movie doesn't really add a lot to the first part, but it's just so damn exciting and very well made. A lot of calm music when there are heavy scenes, which is pretty funny :) I'm a fan, can't wait till part 3
1	Okkervil	77 _77th
A worthy sequel that feels like a natural continuation of this worlds and these characters story. The family dynamic remains at the heart of picture and the cast are really strong. Perhaps not a tense as the first, but very solid stuff.
1	kgbelliveau	90 _82nd
Once it really picks up A Quiet Place 2 is actually a much more tense movie than the first because it deals with surviving this new world. We get a glimpse into the early days as Krasinski reprises his role as Lee for that flashback. Murphy being the new addition to the cast really excels but Millicent Simmonds is the stand out. Such a brilliant movie filled with tension and world growth. Another fantastic ending. I am so glad to have finally seen this movie.
1	Darren	50 _21st
It's just shocking that theatre audiences actually keep quiet during these movies. Maybe every movie needs to a quiet place presents sort of thing
1	medikolayn	50 _18th
o boring as fuck
1	Sadman	65 _20th
Krasinski shows us that directorial skill does not entail creativity. The Quiet Place 2 is a movie that tries hard to be a perfectly sculpted piece of blockbuster cinema, which ends up robbing it of almost any verisimilitude. Cross cuts, "Oh no the monster is behind you"-framing and jump scares are tossed at you to keep your attention but it only heightens the artifice. The only thing that feels real is Cillian Murphy, mercifully given a underwritten character so his acting can do the work.
1	braddad68	94 _74th
One of those rare excellent sequels. I know it was good since it went so fast for me, and I wanted more.
1	bof	63 _46th
Krasinski essentially tries to trap lightning in the same bottle. Yes, the intercut suspense scenes that make up 85% of the movie work quite well, but... really, if you're going to ask me for 90 minutes, it wouldn't hurt to have SOME story in there.
1	FoxyRussian	81 _43rd
Quiet Place 2 goes bigger in scope than the original, and in doing so loses some of it's appeal. Sure the movie is well acted and wholly unique, but I loved the first one for how oddly quiet it was. Except for one scene, talking is so minimum that it was the only time I can remember a packed theatre being truly quiet. This movie has a lot of reasons why characters can talk, and none are dumb, its just not the spirit of the movie? You see the creature a lot too and the cgi is pretty meh
1	P u l p	36 _23rd
Shhhhh no one cares
1	Gabriel_p	75 _56th
An enjoyable sequel. Even though we've already seen the "monster" in the first one, this one makes a good job of exploiting it. Its simple and enjoyable horror, nothing else.
1	Dakota99	6 _62nd
Part 2 is pretty solid. I think Krasinski is starting to show his range as a director, as it does pull back the focus of Lee and Evelyn as characters, for the kids this time around. Both of them step into the spotlight, and Krasinski makes it feel like a natural progression given it's clever and logistical sequences. I have some gripes with this personally, and while I don't think it's better than the original, it certainly feels like a satisfying sequel to this world.
1	Greener	65 _49th
This one does not feel like those cheap horror sequels that came out only because the first one was a huge hit; rather, it supports the series as if it were meant to be a trilogy from the initial inception.
1	BadFurDay	4 _24th
Yea I'm just not into the whole thing... maybe I should ask myself why I watched the second if I couldn't get into the first, so it's on me. Not a bad movie per se, just not my jam, I'm not into jumpscares and definitely not into the lore of these movies.
1	Mystic	2 _21st
Was a let down. There is literally nothing new; just a quintessential Sci-fi movie. When the novelty of the first part wears down, the true shallowness of the movie/concept is exposed. Simply cannot understand why there is such excitement around this part.
1	plvenice	9 _85th
As good - if not better than - the first.
1	luord	77 _84th
While not as polished as the first installment, it's nonetheless a tight thriller that packs an emotional punch.
1	maxmode	70 _62nd
It has good scenes, but in the end it's just more of the same.
1	nobamba	30 _15th
Many, many more contrivances (unrealistic world/monsters, kids causing trouble, convenient scares) without the saving grace of the 1st (novel idea with sign language, family dynamic, Krasinski heart). The problems are amplified. There's no character development since this is basically the day after the 1st. Take away the reputation it earned and this is just another forgettable horror. Overall unnecessary. Fav scene: girl waking up and thinking the guy abandoned her and took her device.
1	PianoSama	70 _82nd
Talk about delivering on the hype, meeting any and all expectations, & serving as a tremendous example for what sequels should strive to be. Excellent performances, some haunting cinematography, phenomenal use of the creatures & continuation of the narrative from Part I, & fantastic character development for the kiddos hammered home at the end. The opening sequence was great & everything after that just kept hitting the mark. Nonstop tension. I never loved the first one, but this was a blast.
1	doyler29	80 _64th
I admire Krasinki's ability to construct suspenseful sequences, but I also don't think there's any deeper meaning to these films. I'm not saying that there's no subtext, but it's pretty much just lying there on the surface and it's a non-critical promotion of mainstream American values like family and helping others. I admire his ability to put a film together, I prefer my horror to come with some subversion.
1	user354	75 _46th
Not quite as interesting as the original, but still a strong continuation of the story and character development. Main criticism is the feeling of a video game narrative without the interactivity to engage.
1	AnnieHall	65 _35th
First of all, best part of sequel was not seeing the face of John Krasinski, The Office's most lamest and loser character but i have to give him credit, his narrative and directing style are much better than PartI. I felt like i was in a console game, a simple and fluent narrative. Cillian Murphy's existing is fantastic and i loved him. I must say that bearded look gave him a different charisma. Finally, I would like to watch this movie in the cinema, but unfortunately i live in comedy country.
1	IamTyphoon	68 _14th
Decent enough, but a crowd-pleaser if you know what I mean.
1	tagnohc	67 _0th
WOW. Usually am skeptical about sequels, but this one was somehow better than the first in a lot of ways. I didn't know which direction they would take the sequel but it was pretty damn good. The journey to find other people was predictable but how things panned out was well done. The theme of silence didn't get boring but had maybe even a better effect than the first film. The young actors man... so good. And Cillian Murphy was good to see!
1	Scrib	60 _31st
Much like the first entry, Part 2 felt like a film of two acts to me. But whereas A Quiet Place seemed to have a relentless 2nd act that never let up, followed by an abrupt end; Part 2 feels like you're allowed to breathe too much and ends before things are cranked enough to warrant the traditional lull that foreshadows a finale. The result feels incomplete and - dare I say it? - episodic. We didn't need a Part 2, but we'll probably be getting a Part 3.
1	abalama	80 _25th
Good sequel.
