Review of A Quiet Place Part II (2021) by Compi24 — 12 Jun 2021
Once again, I feel like I'm swaying ever so slightly into "crazy pills" territory with such a pedestrian response to this one. It's not as though I'm "unimpressed" per se, but I'm certainly not blown away in any notable regard.
As with its 2018 predecessor, "A Quiet Place Part II" ticks off all the macros. The acting is terrific, with Cillian Murphy really representing the finest addition to things this time overall.
The set pieces are well thought out, utilizing a triptych of parallel action at times to keep things intense. The story progresses in a decently engaging fashion. I just didn't really feel moved or all that enthralled when things came to an unnecessarily abrupt and unsatisfying close.
This thing's only 97 minutes long. You couldn't include at least a minute or two of falling action? No denouement? No nothing? I don't know. I guess this just might be one of those franchises that everyone else goes nuts for and I only regard as "pretty good.
