M'Kyuun Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Really enjoyed the first; I figured if a sequel was made, it'd revolve around the discovery of using sound as a weapon to defeat the creatures, and the film would be akin to Aliens . This looks good, though, actually better than another military bug-hunt. In these sorts of films, where the first begins with the aftermath of some calamity, in this case invasion by a less-than-cordial species, I usually enjoy seeing how that calamity unfolded, and I hope we get to see John Krasinski, who's again co-writing and directing, reprise his role as the father, at least for a brief time. I like the line, "The people who survived aren't the kind of people worth saving", as it sets up a moral conundrum, and I can't help but feel, perhaps too cynically, that that's the way it would go if something like this really did happen. It's a good setup for yet another adventure for our intrepid family , and I look forward to how it plays out in the sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looks good, especially for a sequel to a film released in 2018! I look forward to more movies directed by Krasinski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Yeh, I'm in. Will need to re-watch the 1st one though just to remember everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm getting way more Last of Us from this than A Quiet Place. Both are good, but in their own ways. I dunno how much I want to see this, though I'm sure it'll be a good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tking22 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Looks excellent, loved the first film. The story is taking a predictable turn, not a bad thing, humans are the biggest monsters, like Walking Dead, Last of Us, etc. I'm also really, really happy to see some flashback scenes to when the crap first him the fan, that's something I was really interested in seeing as I watched the first film. We've seen plenty of zombie outbreaks, but a crazy monster alien invasion/outbreak, with these particular monsters? I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I haven't seen the first one, guess I should check it out. Being a parent of a 5 year old and a screaming 1.5 year old at home, I have no idea how we'd survive. Kids make noise, and sometimes there's no way to calm them down in a hurry. We'd probably be fraked. Have guns, and decent supply of ammo, but nothing to make them quiet (because Canada). Guess instead of bugging out, we'd probably bug in. Sound proof the hell out of the house, stockpile food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My only gripe about the movie is that it felt like it was already kinda done in Pitch Black and it was also done in The Silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinger Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I liked the first one, though it did start to strain even my suspension of disbelief with each added injury to the mother. Seems like this will be "The Walking Quiet", which I'm sort of fine with, since I still watch TWD. If they don't get to the , "Let's take back the planet"/resistance part of this overall story, I'll be disappointed, since that's where I thought this was headed at the end of 1. Seems like this might be a smaller film going by the trailer, so if it's good, I'm willing to wait till a part 3 to see the "Rise of the Bug Hunters" story.

TangledThorns Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) New trailer. My three old son gives me anxiety when I think of this movie!! Edited May 6, 2021 by TangledThorns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Just got back from seeing it (in the theater, finally!), and I thought it was just as good as the first one. Spoiler I didn't feel like it broke any new ground, really, save for a brief glimmer of hope. We are treated to a quick prelude to the first film where we see the arrival of humanity's equalizer, as it were. We learn a new weakness of the creatures. I thought there'd be more human on human aggression in this one, given the ominous line, "not all survivors are worth saving" (paraphrasing), but it was really more of a footnote than an issue for the protagonists. The movie felt like it just ended abruptly, with more story to tell. Fortunately for fans of the franchise, there's going to be a third installment directed by Jeff Nichols, whom John Krasinski chose to replace him at the helm. Looking forward to it, and hopefully, neither new strains of Covid nor any other global disease will keep theaters closed when it's ready to premier. Fingers crossed.

Big s Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I just had a chance to see it yesterday. It’s definitely good for a sequel and a prequel. And somehow it does all that in one movie and leaves space for more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thought this movie was fantastic and a very worthy sequel to the first. While the emotional stakes felt different, they were still firmly rooted in the concept of family and keeping them safe. The main difference was about the growth of the older kids and what they go through in this movie. Some questionable plot beats; Spoiler especially around the cannibal/bad people, and the fact that no one thought to have lookouts on the island (for the monsters or any other potential threats like the cannibal people and their literal fleet of boats). Can't wait for more! -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 52 minutes ago, Big s said: I think the islanders just thought everyone coming their way would just be friendly Yeah...suuupppper questionable plot/story beat right there. The part of the movie directly before that and just leading up to the climax are the weakest part of both films. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't ruin the movie, but for me was a real head scratcher on why Krasinski would go in that direction (no pun intended). -b.

TangledThorns Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Finally saw Quiet Place 2 on Paramount+ this past weekend, twice by watching the first film again too. Really good with more action but stresses me out as a parent as kids are noisy by nature, lol. That being said Krasinski is a helluva director and hope to see more from him soon.

pengbuzz Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think a lot of issues would have been solved in the films with the liberal use of duct tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it would totally backfire every time someone needed to eat. Then it starts with the ripping of the tape and then the screaming bringing on the ripping of flesh and finally silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
