i actually think the ending of this one was more emotional then the last because it’s the kids learning to break away from being protected to protecting themselves from the things that killed their father and terrorized them for the past year idk ig it’s just me
In the transformation of Marcus from someone who was wanting to save his life to someone who was willing to lose his life to protect others was extremely meaningful. How his sister inspired him with her sacrifice was powerful but it was probably lost on most people.
Yes! Especially with it being after Emmet tells Reagan that /she/ is like her father, and with his loss being a big problem in the beginning of the movie. The kids have now stepped up in his absence!
@@SkyHammackDrones I disagree. Too many movies feel too fast paced and not long enough so it is hard to care. I really liked this movie, but it was way too fast and short.
Especially when the first one was such a hit, and executives or lazy writers recycle so much from the first that worked. "Hey, remember that thing from the first one that tested really well? Well we did it again! Hey, why aren't you [scared/laughing/surprised]?"
Guess, because they're really good with timing. Like every comedians says "It's all about the timing or punchline". I don't know I'm not a comedian hahaha. but maybe pretty much.
@@LXKeemProductions bro i dont think u've seen jordan's movie at least u agree that he's a great director, and he gave one of the best execution, but no, u straight up said that he's bad, and saying that wan is what supposed to be a good horror director lmao
@@LXKeemProductions what? I enjoy Get Out more than any James Wan film I've ever seen. And I've seen Get Out like a dozen times now, still never gets old.
@@WinedandDined27 get out is extremely overrated, it is not even as half as scary as Wan's first Conjuring. "Us" is just terrible, lazy and pretencious, not to mention not scary.
The reviewer is biased. He did this with another movie where he praise and worship certain directors and actors as he said "could do no wrong". Part 2 is definitely no A. *Its 6/10* maybe 6.5.
@AnimeNerd101 here we gp with yall delusional ppl. Again, ive seen some reviewers not love it. I watched, and i did not get the feels like in part 1 thus not loving it. Mark my words. Whatever ratings it has now will drop. Its definitely somewhat 6.5/10
The transition to no sound made me more anxious watching it. She has no idea what sounds are around her, be it the monsters creeping up on them or her giving away her location.
Which is what made this film nail biting at times because it was putting the viewers in her shoes, not being able to listen so we wouldn’t know if the monsters were near, great film from Krasinski 👏🏻
Just watched it so I'm late, but those were my favorite parts. It's tough to make something scary not only without sound, but during the day. To pull them both off at the same time was amazing. Only thing close was in I Am Legend with the manikin and the dogs, there was some sound but not much, and it was the day time.
I actually think that there must’ve been some amazing foreshadowing or something bc I thought, before the island reveal, that they should live on boats away from land lol. It was a super smart way to use the environment to show how smart the characters are + scare us
Just saw the movie today and when he stepped on the bear trap I almost pooped my pants! I was like, please don't scream, but I'm gonna allow it cause that was just awful. At first I thought it snapped his foot right off!
The Day 1 sequence felt straight out of a classic 1950's monster movie mixed with Spielberg's brand of filmmaking. Small town setting, the actual source of the monsters, grounded characters in relatable, suspenseful scenarios, action spectacle that's, like you said, in just the right perspective and long camera takes. And that's just the start of the movie!
@@lemony-snickett It's called a flashback. Movies do it all the time. This movie wanted to shed some light on how this apocalypse started and naturally the dad would be alive around that time.
Ya or the goofy Vampire from "What we do in the Shadows" can make the most amazing Thor movies movies ever! Or a 70+ year old writer director can make the most intense, creative, balls to the wall Action movie ever with Mad Max: Fury Road. Lots of talent out there! More than ever!
Not being an A+, or a 10, or whatever grading system a reviewer uses doesn't necesarily mean there were evident flaws with the movie. It could very well mean that what it did well, it didn't do it amazingly enough to warrant the highest grade possible.
The scene when Emmet warned everyone to get inside was one of the best scenes of the movies. The way the monsters appear out of nowhere is just brilliant
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no TH-camr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear chi
The child actors in this were amazing. The way the son screamed in pain, I FELT THAT. He translated that agony👏🏼so👏🏼dam👏🏼well! And that’s definitely props to the director too.
I thought it was too much. I get it for the movie but in real life usually the most painful things just make you gasp and go silent, not really constantly scream . That’s just a movie thing
As a deaf person hoping for more and better deaf representation from not only Hollywood in general (side eying Hush and The Silence) but ESPECIALLY in this movie for the sequel, I'm SO happy with it. LOVED seeing Regan be the hero in this film.
5:06 honestly, the ending of part 2 really hit me much more than the first one. Now the two kids have to stand up and face the monster to "protect their adult" instead of them being defenseless in the car and having to watch their dad sacrifice himself to save them
I would’ve liked to see them take the ending of this a little further. A little more of what happens next. But it feels like “ok gotta wait for part 3” even more so than the ending of the first one.
It was pretty much the same ending and same consequence, in terms of it being just the main characters who were able to defeat the creatures. Maybe they should tell someone else how to do it!
***SPOILER ALERT*** It felt very abrupt. And a tad bit similar to the first movies ending but it had a good “coming of age” sequence especially with the brother killing the monster. And it obviously sets up a 3rd movie so I’m stoked
@@blessethishe there is a fine line between cheese and poignancy. This film (and the last) are both on the side of poignant. If you lack mindfulness, a Buddha quote might sound cheesy, while if you’re open to wisdom it’s poignant. It generally comes down to who you are as a person-however, generalizations can be made. This film was not cheesy.
@@WinedandDined27 this film lacked emotion. The first film delivered that. Here, they just threw characters into scenes, and if this is your first watch, you wouldn't understand what id happening. Even if not, he failed to deliver on the emotion. We seen all this b4 in part 1. And part 2, didn't do anything new and forgot about the emotion. 6 or 6.5 at best.
It’s blink and you’ll miss it but I’m actually there at the intro Little League game! I’m so glad to have been a part of this film and see it on the ol projector.
Yeah that was I was thinking the whole time, it’s pretty much the last of us. I think that’s why I didn’t enjoy the film as much as my sister did. I felt like I had seen it already, nothing new. So little story, the first one was more interesting.
Their dynamic reminded me of Stranger Things 2 or Avengers: Infinity War, how they grouped characters that didn't seem likely for each other but produced a rich character and story elements.
I just watched the movie today and not gonna lie, the ending left me feeling like "that's it?" I felt like they could've progressed the story a bit more. There were some moments where I questioned why things had to be a certain way or why certain characters acted the way they did, and it felt more to progress the plot of the movie instead of actually being somewhat reasonable. The acting was great nevertheless, I'd give it like a B/B+
@@1uniqueblackdiamond Well, not really. It showed events that happened before the first movie, but most of it is right after the events of the first movie. It's mostly a sequel
ITS SO BAD THERES NOTHING NEW IN MOVIE. THE WHOLE MOVIE THERE JUST RRYING TO GET TO AN ISLAND WHERE ITS SAFE. THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE IS JUST THE GIRL AND BOY KILLING MONSTER AND THE BOY AND THE MOM HAVE HARDLY ANY SCREENTIME.
This has to be one of the best horror sequels ever made. The editing on this is amazing so I hope the academy agrees as well as of course the sound design. Millicent Simmonds is magnificent, Noah Jupe was wonderful, Blunt is typically fantastic and Cillian Murphy emotes so well with just his eyes. Strong pacing, tension that borders on being stressful and some powerful drama for good measure, this is one of the best of the year
I agree. It honestly bums me out to see so many folks on TH-cam commenting how much they dislike it, especially when the things they dislike are objectively wrong. I have no personal interest in Jon or any of them doing well, but for a movie like this that was clearly SO meticulously written and thought out, to have folks say it’s bad because it lacked this or that or didn’t explain certain points when really it contained everything and just went over their heads, is upsetting a bit. Not saying everyone can’t have their own opinions, but when folks are basing those opinions on falsehoods it’s unfair for the film. At least most critics love this film. I’m just glad to see a positive comment is all, haha. So sick of scrolling thru and seeing “the film sucked bc of…” and have it be some objectively incorrect reason. I agree this is one of the best of the year and has Oscar-worthy sound design and cinematography.
So here is the thing, the movie itself was great, but for a sequel I felt like it was kinda pointless. We didn't learn anything new, we already knew how the monsters could be defeated, now it's just the kids killing them instead of the mother, if that's the climax your movie was working towards then I kinda question the need for this sequel other than it being a cash grab.
I knew that there was going to be a catch when Chris initially said there’s nothing about the movie he had issues with so I was waiting for the end of the video when he finally said he found the ending not as emotionally resonant as the first movie’s. So I verbally yelled “oh come on!” when he only gave this movie an A and not an A+. To many people, just like the first, this might as well be an A+. I cannot wait to see it for myself and make up my mind next weekend!
Also, it’s never really explained where the two monsters went that were seen on the cameras coming for them at the end of A Quiet Place 1. Other than that, I absolutely loved the movie.
@@lanxy2398 I agree. I think some people expected more action when that’s not entirely what this movie is about. I was entertained just by seeing them walking around the aged streets. Some may go into this film expecting constant action when that’s not what it is.
I was wondering if those movie posters going to be worth some money? For any movie that was supposed to come out last year. That had movie poster release.
Most disappointing part in an otherwise great movie. Didn't show up until near the end of the movie and only had about 10 minutes total of screen time, if that!
@@andrewgarratt1503 true, but blood diamond was his breakout role. Sean Bean also survived in his first breakout role so you should actually agree with the OP
you must not have seen many of his reviews then. The guy has given like 50+ A+'s on his channel, haha. Meaning he has at least 50 fimls that he liked been more than this.
The fact that the first two Quiet Place movies were directed by the same guy who directed three of the lesser episodes of The Office (Sabre, Lotto, and The Boat) always makes me amazed at the increase of quality Krasinski’s directing has had.
Barley watched it this week in theaters and I LOVED IT!!!!!! Can we talk about the amazing shot of Regan in the radio booth before she turns on the broadcast signal?! The shot of her facing the monster with the red and blue hue around her was outstanding! Also loved the coordination of sibling bravery in that scene!
"gee, I want to go out and have to drive or take the bus to pay an expensive ticket so I can be surrounded by people talking, making noise, eating, and ruining the movie!". sorry but watching movies at home is so much better than theaters!. and if they release it on netflix or whatever more people will watch it. I don't see the point of theaters.
@@pelgervampireduck If you were a leggit moviegoer, you would know not to go the days you described which is Friday, Saturday, Sunday and cheap day. I always go to the movie theatre on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday. There’s maybe 4-5 people in the room. I bring my own snacks and gladly pay to enjoy a bigger screen and awesome sound. I love the movie theatre experience and I hope people could enjoy it as much as me. Good luck❤️
Me too. However, screenings of this ran in early 2020 and the review where stellar then. So definitely not surprising, but great to hear confirmation nonetheless.
That cinematography and musical score at the end where it flips between the siblings was just beautiful! I really felt their confidence and resolution at the end
Fun story: I won free tickets to this film and wanted to go with my brothers. A day before the preview the movie got postponed. And then the world got into quarantine for a year. Damn, I never win shit.
@@reat964 only if people had that specific radio station on and knew what to do with it. Otherwise she left her brother with a busted foot and mom with a newborn.
The opening was great but the whole movie was waaaaaaaaaaaay too short and then ended so abruptly on a cliffhanger. it felt like watching an episode of a TV show like the walking dead. which is what a Quiet place should have been in the first place Instead of making us wait 2 years between movies!
I like that this review is quick and concise. Chris, you give your points well and straightforwardly, which is nice because there is no fluff or elaborate wording to confuse your viewers. You make it easy for us to understand and form our own thoughts. You appeal to logic well in that I enjoy that you just give us your own thoughts and opinions; i.e. there is no need for you to try and woo us into liking you. Your logic seems to spill into your passion which is cool because you take long pauses before you say certain things to compile your thoughts in an easy and understandable way (this reminds me a little bit of Jordan Peterson). From my viewpoint, I wish you spoke a little more on three key aspects I look for in movies: truth, beauty and goodness. It is okay that you did not, but I think your thoughts may have some deeper hidden meaning in them that maybe not everyone sees. Now I would like to discuss 7 media keys that I use: balance, attitude awareness, promotion of human dignity, truth-filled, inspiring, skillful development and motivation by or relevance to experience. Balance comes well from this review in that you are not just wooing your viewers. You are giving your raw opinion the whole time by incorporating what Krasinski has also used in his directing to create a more cohesive film. Attitude awareness comes into play in that again you are aware of what you are saying. You are being raw, which I appreciate. Krasinski had a strange attitude at first toward this film, in that he did not want to direct it at first. However, his previous co-director asked him to leave some ideas for where to take part 2 and he found himself loving his ideas and becoming the sole director for the film. The promotion of human dignity is very evident here for me. Millie is the main character of "A Quiet Place: Part II." This is so beautiful and unique because we are able to hear the world through her ears and head for parts of the movie. The muffling and static sounds that occur periodically allow for us to dive into a world with unclear hearing. This is a clear promotion of human dignity because it would have been very easy for Krasinski to disregard this disability and not incorporate it, but he used it in a beautiful way to give the audience a more authentic experience and love for MIllie. This is a truth-filled review in a simple way: you are giving us your thoughts that are generally agreed-upon truths. Props to you, Chris. Inspiring is an interesting word for this review. I do not think you were trying to inspire us per se. You were simply allowing us to ponder your thoughts and comprise our own. I like this because the film is more inspiring I would say, which I think you recognize yourself. Skillful development is masterfully seen in this movie. From camera angles to utilizing Millie's hard of hearing to a stellar cast, Krasinski does an impeccable job of developing an experience that is unique and almost unrepeatable. As you mentioned, with any horror film moving forward that uses strategies seen in this film, there is no doubt that these two movies will be mentioned and drawn from for ideas. Finally, motivation by or relevance to experience can be seen in that you are an avid movie critic. You love movies and you want to share that with the world. I like that. Of course, others will be motivated in different ways, but I think your experiences with films allow for great input to be taken seriously. I think the overarching question to be asked is this: does the media I produce promote truth, beauty and goodness in a tangible way that leads others to an experience of something beyond themselves? If the answer is a firm yes, then you are a good creator. If the answer is no, then room for improvement is always available. In all, I love this movie myself. I try not to be biased, as "The Office" is my favorite tv show of all time and has nurtured a deep-rooted love for John Krasinski in me. But the cinematography, the directing and the utilization of unique qualities around him prove that Krasinski is a big-time director with superb aspirations. I have great reason to believe he will continue to produce quality films for years to come.
@@susansheehan9726 idk if you watch Robservations at all, but he’s read the script and says it’s incredible. With that piece of knowledge and the fact that Blade Runner 2049 is so beautifully made, I think we’re in for a real treat.
This was our return to the cinema in the UK - also the first 15 I snuck my daughter into, and she absolutely loved it: the perfect return to the big screen. There was one minor character killed off, who could have been a great addition to the cast, other than that a fantastic sequel.
Not to mention the BEAUTIFULLY wholesome content. In a culture of anger and resentment, it is so incredibly refreshing to find a movie featuring a beautiful yet incredibly strong mother, a timid yet sacrificial son, a disabled yet brave daughter, and a twisted yet heroic family friend. No agenda. Just beautiful story telling.
Ikr, even in the theater, no one makes a sound, if someone have their phone that suddenly have a small ringtone, you definitely want to tell that person to keep the ringtone down. It's basically a quiet movie while also making everyone in the theater stays quiet
The franchise, if it is a franchise with just 2 movies, is not only a brilliant horror film, but it's also fantastic as a sci-fi film. Part 2 shows the possible effects of the human condition during an extreme situation that's unlikely but very possible. The narrative between the boat people in contrast to the island people is brilliant storytelling.
Thank you for reviewing this Chris. I was going to watch it last year with a mate, but... we all know what happened. And very happy that Krasinski directed this himself. He’s got a very good directorial concept going for him.
I had two issues with the film: 1. at the end of the first one we see several of the alients attacking the compound and Evelyn cocks the shotgun. We never see how they got out of that situation. 2. characters being stupid for no reason. Marcus going outside when he's supposed to watch the baby, Regan leaving on her own.
One of the best horror openings of all time? That's high praise. In his last review he said Army of the Dead had one of the best openings of all time and that people would be talking about if forever.
"Just the opening credit scene alone is phenomenal. I feel like the opening credits of the movie deserve to be considered for future lists of best opening credits of all time." -Chris Stuckmann *Army of the Dead* review
It’s too bad he slept on Midsommar. That film had a tremendous opening. Can’t think of a better one in any recent memory. It pains me to see his superficiality, cynicism, and overall misunderstanding prevent fair analysis, since he loved Hereditary. Perhaps he was triggered by the cult aspect, which may have struck a chord with his growing up with Jehovah’s Witnesses, or maybe he went in with a narrow mindset-expecting another Hereditary (a film with different goals from Midsommar). He’s given other films a second chance, like Once upon a Time in Hollywood and Avengers: Infinity War, so I wish he would rewatch Midsommar or watch the director’s cut and reevaluate. Oh well. TL;DR: It’s too bad he couldn’t see that (or many other things) in Midsommar. Don’t think it’s great? That’s okay. I guess I’m just stuck with tens of thousands of people, including Martin Scorsese, Bong Joon-ho, Nicolas Cage, Jordan Peele, Ariana Grande, Mindy Kaling, and many more.
As someone with a 2 and 3 year old. I refuse to believe it would not be impossible to keep them alive during these films. My 3 year old yells for us to look at something or if he’s in a mood. No way would a infant or toddler make it during these times.
Human beings made it for thousands of years dealing with lizards the size of small cars and lions with sabers for teeth. I’m sure with the right parents, the baby would be fine.
Agree. I think YMS really did a nice (well, not nice...) job pointing out how AQP just doesn't work if you're not willing to believe some fairly stupid plot contrivances.
@@dope8878 i dont want want to be the dick who says vikings didnt have horned helmets and dinosaurs and cavemen existed millions of years apart but.... im a dik.
Wow I'm so surprised and happy this got a rav review from you! I was sure that Quiet Place was a stroke of genius that could not be replicated, but it's awesome to hear that they made the sequel just as good 👏
There is one moment where a character is climbing down and the camera follows their foot closely as it slowly lowers towards a desk. And it was so tense because you're hyper-focused on the 10 different things on the desk that could make a sound if stepped on it or knocked over. A complete nail-biter from such a simple visual. LOVED THIS MOVIE!
And yet, then you look, and you notice said character is actually looking to make sure. Something mom should have done in the first film! That nail....oh lord.
Did anyone notice the powerful visual storytelling, just after the Abbots reach the foundry? Take a look at the flyover of the chimney stack; there is a chopped-up burning creature body in it! What that means is that Cillian's character knew how to kill one a time--that's what the bottles and bear trap were for--but he didn't know how to exterminate them.
5:30 "It was very smart of them to hold off and not release this during COVID" I hadn't realised this was over. Must be all the masks, online meetings, confinement and curfews that confused me.
Nah, that's too tongue in cheek. This movie isn't supposed to be funny or snarky, it's meant to be serious. Not to mention this film is (very mild spoiler) not nearly as quiet as the first one. Wouldnt make sense to call the movie that was louder than and contains way more talking than "a quite place", "a quieter place"
I think what many forget is how well executed the apocalypse theme is played out. The opening sequence felt real and dangerous. Even though we knew how the monsters hunt, we still felt as overwhelmed by fright and shock as the characters
I saw the first one at the movies... me personally, I'll stream this one at home. People coughing, rummaging through their popcorn bags, whispering to their friends... you could hear everything
I’m so glad to see other people enjoyed this movie as much as I did. Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe are two of the best young actors I’ve ever seen high marks to them
Well I saw it and I found it disappointing. It was basically the first one with a new character and a boat.I actually dozed through scenes because I just felt like there was nothing new happening. If it would have been as intense as the first 10 minutes or so it would have been great
I feel like the horror scenes are the same too, like the creature shows up and then the character has to be quiet and then they kill the beast. It’s just yeah a bit formulaic for me. The sequence that shows the beginning of the apocalypse was the one unique dynamic scene to me and I was with the film for the first half but yeah, slow trailed off.
Just got back from viewing, this was like an hour and a half long heart attack - the tension is incredibly high and never ever lets up. I highly recommend this to anyone, it’s a must watch. One thing I think won’t get brought up a lot is the perfect editing. The film cuts A LOT between characters doing different stuff and the tension builds simultaneously between each thread, the cuts themselves are clever and the overall flow is perfect. Never a dull moment, this film is seriously well paced and pure adrenaline
I think it’s clearly more horror than sci-fi or thriller. It has the jump scares, the eerie score, the long, drawn out, tense, don’t look over your shoulder moments. The only sci-fi bit of it is the fact there are aliens, but they are portrayed more as monsters than aliens, otherwise sci-fi is usually reliant on environment and characters and neither are sci-fi in this film, they are in fact grounded in reality. As far as thriller goes, there are thrilling moments to be sure, but all of the thrilling moments also double as horror moments as well, so it might as well be just horror. Se7en is a quintessential thriller, whereas something like Halloween is quintessential horror. This has more in common with Halloween than Se7en. This film is pretty clearly influenced by Stephen King as well. You could say it falls into the Signs realm, or the Alien realm. Both are considered horror (Alien more so) and AQP is scarier than either, and more horror themed than either as well.
It can still be horror even if it isnt as "scary". You can argue even the 1st game isnt scary. However, since the last movie ended with them knowing how to kill the aliens, it makes sense to be more action. I do agree though that the movie needed more tense moments such as the chase after triggering the bottle trap setup by cillian murphy
The film changes the rules of the first. Remember how crucial the sand path was? Eh, whatever, once they reach the end, they just keep going for miles offscreen until they trigger Cillian's tripwire. I don't believe Chris could miss obvious oversights like this. He's currying favor with somebody for his own script.
I jumped every time the monsters came out! It was so good! Also, Cillian Murphy and Millicent Simmonds remind me of Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us.
Cillian Murphy is one of the greatest actors of his generation, criminally underrated.
Supremely gifted indeed.

Only thing close was in I Am Legend with the manikin and the dogs, there was some sound but not much, and it was the day time.
I loved the whole “dive” thing. Anyone else?
I actually think that there must’ve been some amazing foreshadowing or something bc I thought, before the island reveal, that they should live on boats away from land lol. It was a super smart way to use the environment to show how smart the characters are + scare us
Yes! I’m a big fan of characters learning a small piece of information that saves their life later.
What was up with those people at the docks? Where they just camping there to steal from others?

I almost screamed in the theater when the boy stepped on bear trap.😱😱😱
I just left the theater and everyone said oh shit when it happened
Omg same!! I felt that! Oh mannn!!
Just saw the movie today and when he stepped on the bear trap I almost pooped my pants! I was like, please don't scream, but I'm gonna allow it cause that was just awful. At first I thought it snapped his foot right off!
You almost screamed?! I just let it all out 'cause there was no one else in the house... well except for my sister 😁
The Day 1 sequence felt straight out of a classic 1950's monster movie mixed with Spielberg's brand of filmmaking. Small town setting, the actual source of the monsters, grounded characters in relatable, suspenseful scenarios, action spectacle that's, like you said, in just the right perspective and long camera takes.
And that's just the start of the movie!
If you like the beginning of this movie you'll love 'The Mist'. It's that exact premise.
I've seen similar openings to other films. The opening to bird box was done far better.
I didn't understand the opening sequence, I thought the dad died?
@@lemony-snickett It's called a flashback. Movies do it all the time. This movie wanted to shed some light on how this apocalypse started and naturally the dad would be alive around that time.
@@MegaCrocosaurus92 right thank you 👍
Who would have thought 10 years ago that Jim from the office would make films like this
It's probably just a prank on Dwight.
I can see Jim making a critically acclaimed and hit movie just for an elaborate prank on Dwight
Ya or the goofy Vampire from "What we do in the Shadows" can make the most amazing Thor movies movies ever! Or a 70+ year old writer director can make the most intense, creative, balls to the wall Action movie ever with Mad Max: Fury Road. Lots of talent out there! More than ever!
Dwight would've guessed. Hell, we all saw the vampire episode.
I hope "A Quiet Place: Part III" is set in an abandoned paper mill.
I laughed so hard when he didn't gave it the A+ after all he said 😂
Yeah wth
Having watched his vids for a while I’d say he’s definitely very selective when it comes to the movies he gives A+
I mean there’s films that I love that have flaws and keep from being perfect 🤷♂️
@@rosstaylor4049 very true
Not being an A+, or a 10, or whatever grading system a reviewer uses doesn't necesarily mean there were evident flaws with the movie. It could very well mean that what it did well, it didn't do it amazingly enough to warrant the highest grade possible.
The scene when Emmet warned everyone to get inside was one of the best scenes of the movies. The way the monsters appear out of nowhere is just brilliant
Except It was just chilling somewhere else. Dude didn’t warn any one as much as ring the dinner bell.
That community needed a security patrol on the regular.
spending nights at Schrute farm gave Jim pretty good insight into horror genre
If this movie doesn't include bears eating beets I'm gonna be so mad.
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no TH-camr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear chi
Plot twist:
The aliens were summoned by Dwight in one last epic prank against Jim.
@@MrImastinker I'm pretty sure Dwight would be the last survivor in that scenario
That’s funny!! 🙃
The child actors in this were amazing. The way the son screamed in pain, I FELT THAT. He translated that agony👏🏼so👏🏼dam👏🏼well! And that’s definitely props to the director too.
I bugged out at that point. I was like, "oh, you just HAVE to make me feel even worse than the nail scene right?"
@@Nic1963D there’s noise-sensitive aliens and ya gonna point how the lack of sepsis was the unbelievable part of the movie?
@@Nic1963D honestly for me, it was that quiet baby that was the most unbelievable part.
I thought it was too much. I get it for the movie but in real life usually the most painful things just make you gasp and go silent, not really constantly scream . That’s just a movie thing
Oh wow. Did you actually feel it? JEEPERS! And the clapping? Amazing touch to your incredible comment. Added so much depth.
This was the most A+ sounding A review I've ever heard
Was thinking the exact same. A+ from me.
@@vick7848 Not even close for me. The first one was better and I give that movie an A-. I'd give this a B.
My excitement for this movie just skyrocketed, second only to Dune.
Ditto, good sir.
Thats whats up!
Agree
Well said
I've seen Dune (1984) probably 20 times. I really hope the new one lives up or exceeds. Like Blade Runner 2049
As a deaf person hoping for more and better deaf representation from not only Hollywood in general (side eying Hush and The Silence) but ESPECIALLY in this movie for the sequel, I'm SO happy with it. LOVED seeing Regan be the hero in this film.
I stand with you.
Did you like The Sound of Metal?
🤟🏼 beautifully said!
She was the hero in both films 😀
And I know it was a tiny bit corny, but I LOVED the use of signing the word dive. So good!
Just wondering, do you think you could you follow this movie without subtitles?
5:06 honestly, the ending of part 2 really hit me much more than the first one. Now the two kids have to stand up and face the monster to "protect their adult" instead of them being defenseless in the car and having to watch their dad sacrifice himself to save them
Marcus finally gets his moment after feeling powerless in every way was very intense. The characters in these movies are a 10.
I would’ve liked to see them take the ending of this a little further. A little more of what happens next. But it feels like “ok gotta wait for part 3” even more so than the ending of the first one.
John finished the 1st one with no intention of making a sequel, but knew he would make a 3rd as he was making the 2nd
It was pretty much the same ending and same consequence, in terms of it being just the main characters who were able to defeat the creatures. Maybe they should tell someone else how to do it!
That ending caught me off guard, I was just like “wait what?”
***SPOILER ALERT***
It felt very abrupt. And a tad bit similar to the first movies ending but it had a good “coming of age” sequence especially with the brother killing the monster. And it obviously sets up a 3rd movie so I’m stoked
Cheese. 6/10 movie. Maybe 6.5
@@blessethishe well no... something cheesy would be high school musical or something, this just wasn’t
@@blessethishe there is a fine line between cheese and poignancy. This film (and the last) are both on the side of poignant. If you lack mindfulness, a Buddha quote might sound cheesy, while if you’re open to wisdom it’s poignant. It generally comes down to who you are as a person-however, generalizations can be made. This film was not cheesy.
@@WinedandDined27 this film lacked emotion. The first film delivered that. Here, they just threw characters into scenes, and if this is your first watch, you wouldn't understand what id happening. Even if not, he failed to deliver on the emotion. We seen all this b4 in part 1. And part 2, didn't do anything new and forgot about the emotion. 6 or 6.5 at best.
It’s blink and you’ll miss it but I’m actually there at the intro Little League game! I’m so glad to have been a part of this film and see it on the ol projector.

@@katies678 I didn’t talk to them one on one but I worked next to them for 3 days. I did meet Millicent though. She’s so nice.
@@Paraspectre that’s so cool!! Where was the opening filmed? (If you don’t mind my asking)
After watching the movie, anyone else get major The Last of Us vibes between Cillian Murphy and Millicent Simmonds in their scenes?
I think people say that literally anytime there’s an older dude and a teenage girl together in a dark movie
@@sondertales6762 true. But the monsters also resembled Clickers, so I had major tlou vibes
I did and I've never seen the last of us
Yeah that was I was thinking the whole time, it’s pretty much the last of us. I think that’s why I didn’t enjoy the film as much as my sister did. I felt like I had seen it already, nothing new. So little story, the first one was more interesting.
Their dynamic reminded me of Stranger Things 2 or Avengers: Infinity War, how they grouped characters that didn't seem likely for each other but produced a rich character and story elements.
I just watched the movie today and not gonna lie, the ending left me feeling like "that's it?" I felt like they could've progressed the story a bit more. There were some moments where I questioned why things had to be a certain way or why certain characters acted the way they did, and it felt more to progress the plot of the movie instead of actually being somewhat reasonable. The acting was great nevertheless, I'd give it like a B/B+
Completely agree! I wanted more!!!!!!
So.... the same issues with the first movie then?
It’s actually a prequel. This happened before the first.
@@1uniqueblackdiamond Well, not really. It showed events that happened before the first movie, but most of it is right after the events of the first movie. It's mostly a sequel
I agree. Krasinski made a 1 hr 40 minute film that was great but didn’t wrap up everything. Looks like there will be A QUIET PLACE 3 in our future.
The “Day 1” sequence literally made me go like O.O
Takes a lot of talent to write a quality sequel by yourself ESPECIALLY if you don't have a lot of writing credits.
Honestly though! So hard to do!
What does not having a lot of writing credits have to do with anything?

ITS SO BAD THERES NOTHING NEW IN MOVIE. THE WHOLE MOVIE THERE JUST RRYING TO GET TO AN ISLAND WHERE ITS SAFE. THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE IS JUST THE GIRL AND BOY KILLING MONSTER AND THE BOY AND THE MOM HAVE HARDLY ANY SCREENTIME.
It’s on torrent already. I just saw it this morning.
Just watched it yesterday, I like it.
This has to be one of the best horror sequels ever made. The editing on this is amazing so I hope the academy agrees as well as of course the sound design. Millicent Simmonds is magnificent, Noah Jupe was wonderful, Blunt is typically fantastic and Cillian Murphy emotes so well with just his eyes. Strong pacing, tension that borders on being stressful and some powerful drama for good measure, this is one of the best of the year
I agree. It honestly bums me out to see so many folks on TH-cam commenting how much they dislike it, especially when the things they dislike are objectively wrong. I have no personal interest in Jon or any of them doing well, but for a movie like this that was clearly SO meticulously written and thought out, to have folks say it’s bad because it lacked this or that or didn’t explain certain points when really it contained everything and just went over their heads, is upsetting a bit. Not saying everyone can’t have their own opinions, but when folks are basing those opinions on falsehoods it’s unfair for the film. At least most critics love this film. I’m just glad to see a positive comment is all, haha. So sick of scrolling thru and seeing “the film sucked bc of…” and have it be some objectively incorrect reason.
I agree this is one of the best of the year and has Oscar-worthy sound design and cinematography.
Awful take. The movie was shit.
So here is the thing, the movie itself was great, but for a sequel I felt like it was kinda pointless. We didn't learn anything new, we already knew how the monsters could be defeated, now it's just the kids killing them instead of the mother, if that's the climax your movie was working towards then I kinda question the need for this sequel other than it being a cash grab.
why do you find it a horror ? im just interested as I never thought it was a horror was not afraid once.
@@brent8407 it was entertaining and brilliantly put together
A sequel of this quality is what I was hoping for with It Chapter 2
I thought it was good although nowhere near the first excellent film.
Yeah my IMDB ratings went from 10 to 6
Definitely not bad but the first is incredible
I don't really mind because the first works so well as its own film. I'll just keep Chapter One in my Blu Ray collection and ignore the sequel.
I thought part one was good but I wish they actually made it scary
Damn just an A. Well ..if Chris gives an A out it is by default a must watch
I knew that there was going to be a catch when Chris initially said there’s nothing about the movie he had issues with so I was waiting for the end of the video when he finally said he found the ending not as emotionally resonant as the first movie’s. So I verbally yelled “oh come on!” when he only gave this movie an A and not an A+. To many people, just like the first, this might as well be an A+. I cannot wait to see it for myself and make up my mind next weekend!
Dude the first movie got an A-. That’s an improvement!!
@@joe_v_runs he gave the first one an A- though.

The fact that the first two Quiet Place movies were directed by the same guy who directed three of the lesser episodes of The Office (Sabre, Lotto, and The Boat) always makes me amazed at the increase of quality Krasinski’s directing has had.
I think those episodes being "lesser" was because of writing not the directing
Barley watched it this week in theaters and I LOVED IT!!!!!! Can we talk about the amazing shot of Regan in the radio booth before she turns on the broadcast signal?! The shot of her facing the monster with the red and blue hue around her was outstanding! Also loved the coordination of sibling bravery in that scene!
SO SO SO THANKFUL that they waited and didn’t release it in digital form when the pandemic started. This movie NEEDS to be watch in the cinema!!
10000000% agree
Yup watching it on a tv screen or some other device doesn’t compare to the cinemas for this movie especially
"gee, I want to go out and have to drive or take the bus to pay an expensive ticket so I can be surrounded by people talking, making noise, eating, and ruining the movie!".

I like that this review is quick and concise. Chris, you give your points well and straightforwardly, which is nice because there is no fluff or elaborate wording to confuse your viewers. You make it easy for us to understand and form our own thoughts. You appeal to logic well in that I enjoy that you just give us your own thoughts and opinions; i.e. there is no need for you to try and woo us into liking you. Your logic seems to spill into your passion which is cool because you take long pauses before you say certain things to compile your thoughts in an easy and understandable way (this reminds me a little bit of Jordan Peterson). From my viewpoint, I wish you spoke a little more on three key aspects I look for in movies: truth, beauty and goodness. It is okay that you did not, but I think your thoughts may have some deeper hidden meaning in them that maybe not everyone sees.
Now I would like to discuss 7 media keys that I use: balance, attitude awareness, promotion of human dignity, truth-filled, inspiring, skillful development and motivation by or relevance to experience.
Balance comes well from this review in that you are not just wooing your viewers. You are giving your raw opinion the whole time by incorporating what Krasinski has also used in his directing to create a more cohesive film.
Attitude awareness comes into play in that again you are aware of what you are saying. You are being raw, which I appreciate. Krasinski had a strange attitude at first toward this film, in that he did not want to direct it at first. However, his previous co-director asked him to leave some ideas for where to take part 2 and he found himself loving his ideas and becoming the sole director for the film.
The promotion of human dignity is very evident here for me. Millie is the main character of "A Quiet Place: Part II." This is so beautiful and unique because we are able to hear the world through her ears and head for parts of the movie. The muffling and static sounds that occur periodically allow for us to dive into a world with unclear hearing. This is a clear promotion of human dignity because it would have been very easy for Krasinski to disregard this disability and not incorporate it, but he used it in a beautiful way to give the audience a more authentic experience and love for MIllie.
This is a truth-filled review in a simple way: you are giving us your thoughts that are generally agreed-upon truths. Props to you, Chris.
Inspiring is an interesting word for this review. I do not think you were trying to inspire us per se. You were simply allowing us to ponder your thoughts and comprise our own. I like this because the film is more inspiring I would say, which I think you recognize yourself.
Skillful development is masterfully seen in this movie. From camera angles to utilizing Millie's hard of hearing to a stellar cast, Krasinski does an impeccable job of developing an experience that is unique and almost unrepeatable. As you mentioned, with any horror film moving forward that uses strategies seen in this film, there is no doubt that these two movies will be mentioned and drawn from for ideas.
Finally, motivation by or relevance to experience can be seen in that you are an avid movie critic. You love movies and you want to share that with the world. I like that. Of course, others will be motivated in different ways, but I think your experiences with films allow for great input to be taken seriously.
I think the overarching question to be asked is this: does the media I produce promote truth, beauty and goodness in a tangible way that leads others to an experience of something beyond themselves? If the answer is a firm yes, then you are a good creator. If the answer is no, then room for improvement is always available.
In all, I love this movie myself. I try not to be biased, as "The Office" is my favorite tv show of all time and has nurtured a deep-rooted love for John Krasinski in me. But the cinematography, the directing and the utilization of unique qualities around him prove that Krasinski is a big-time director with superb aspirations. I have great reason to believe he will continue to produce quality films for years to come.
Chris , you are so well spoken and come across so genuine in your reviews. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you love. You’re amazing at it.
1. Hes not going to see ur comment. 2. The studio is paying him to say good stuff so not that genuine 😂

I'm tired of Batman, I'm looking forward the new Ghostbusters.
For the people wanting a part 3 John said he has ideas for a third movie to finish off the story so I think it will happen.

You know Chris will give a good review when he's smiling in the thumbnail
False
This was our return to the cinema in the UK - also the first 15 I snuck my daughter into, and she absolutely loved it: the perfect return to the big screen. There was one minor character killed off, who could have been a great addition to the cast, other than that a fantastic sequel.
This movie gave me a great idea for a script "A stinky Place". The monsters locate you by smell, and all that is left to eat is canned beans.
Lol
I'd be the first one to get eaten
Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. This summer, our new alien overlords will definitely smell what The Rock is cookin'.
I'd buy it on steam for a dollar
I'd starve to death. All I had were baked beans at a 9 day music festival one time. And you're godamned right, I never ate those beans.
That shirt is life
Not to mention the BEAUTIFULLY wholesome content. In a culture of anger and resentment, it is so incredibly refreshing to find a movie featuring a beautiful yet incredibly strong mother, a timid yet sacrificial son, a disabled yet brave daughter, and a twisted yet heroic family friend. No agenda. Just beautiful story telling.
Completely shot in Buffalo, NY!!! We're so proud of this one!

Ikr, even in the theater, no one makes a sound, if someone have their phone that suddenly have a small ringtone, you definitely want to tell that person to keep the ringtone down. It's basically a quiet movie while also making everyone in the theater stays quiet
The franchise, if it is a franchise with just 2 movies, is not only a brilliant horror film, but it's also fantastic as a sci-fi film. Part 2 shows the possible effects of the human condition during an extreme situation that's unlikely but very possible. The narrative between the boat people in contrast to the island people is brilliant storytelling.
Thank you for reviewing this Chris. I was going to watch it last year with a mate, but... we all know what happened. And very happy that Krasinski directed this himself. He’s got a very good directorial concept going for him.

Chris' smile in the thumbnail is a good sign before I watch this video :D
Sometimes his smiles are sarcastic or misleading though.
I love Cillian Murphy
I had two issues with the film:
1. at the end of the first one we see several of the alients attacking the compound and Evelyn cocks the shotgun. We never see how they got out of that situation.
2. characters being stupid for no reason. Marcus going outside when he's supposed to watch the baby, Regan leaving on her own.
Speaking of which. She loves running around with an unloaded chamber for some reason.
One of the best horror openings of all time? That's high praise. In his last review he said Army of the Dead had one of the best openings of all time and that people would be talking about if forever.
He said Army of the Dead had good opening credits.
"Just the opening credit scene alone is phenomenal. I feel like the opening credits of the movie deserve to be considered for future lists of best opening credits of all time."
-Chris Stuckmann
*Army of the Dead* review
@@interlinkedMedia yeah but those are the opening credits not just the opening.
It’s too bad he slept on Midsommar. That film had a tremendous opening. Can’t think of a better one in any recent memory. It pains me to see his superficiality, cynicism, and overall misunderstanding prevent fair analysis, since he loved Hereditary. Perhaps he was triggered by the cult aspect, which may have struck a chord with his growing up with Jehovah’s Witnesses, or maybe he went in with a narrow mindset-expecting another Hereditary (a film with different goals from Midsommar). He’s given other films a second chance, like Once upon a Time in Hollywood and Avengers: Infinity War, so I wish he would rewatch Midsommar or watch the director’s cut and reevaluate. Oh well.
TL;DR: It’s too bad he couldn’t see that (or many other things) in Midsommar.
Don’t think it’s great? That’s okay. I guess I’m just stuck with tens of thousands of people, including Martin Scorsese, Bong Joon-ho, Nicolas Cage, Jordan Peele, Ariana Grande, Mindy Kaling, and many more.

All of the early reviews I’ve seen have been raving about it! Cant recall the last time I saw that
@@stanford0711 Well holy shit! I was not expecting this!
Absolutely loved this movie. It actually exceeded my expectations
*Takes batteries out and tells him no*
Puts battery back in secretly and makes noise.
He DESERVED it.
I just burst out laughing when Cillian Murphy saw the baby on their first encounter. The look on his face" oh no I'm f*cked , no I'm double f*cked" 😭🤣
Well yeah, the last thing you need is a screaming f****** baby in the world of the quiet place,
The opening sequence with the initial monster attack was so good I wish it was longer
As someone with a 2 and 3 year old. I refuse to believe it would not be impossible to keep them alive during these films. My 3 year old yells for us to look at something or if he’s in a mood. No way would a infant or toddler make it during these times.
Human beings made it for thousands of years dealing with lizards the size of small cars and lions with sabers for teeth. I’m sure with the right parents, the baby would be fine.
Agree. I think YMS really did a nice (well, not nice...) job pointing out how AQP just doesn't work if you're not willing to believe some fairly stupid plot contrivances.
@@dope8878 i dont want want to be the dick who says vikings didnt have horned helmets and dinosaurs and cavemen existed millions of years apart but.... im a dik.
Wow I'm so surprised and happy this got a rav review from you! I was sure that Quiet Place was a stroke of genius that could not be replicated, but it's awesome to hear that they made the sequel just as good 👏
There is one moment where a character is climbing down and the camera follows their foot closely as it slowly lowers towards a desk. And it was so tense because you're hyper-focused on the 10 different things on the desk that could make a sound if stepped on it or knocked over. A complete nail-biter from such a simple visual. LOVED THIS MOVIE!
And yet, then you look, and you notice said character is actually looking to make sure. Something mom should have done in the first film! That nail....oh lord.
The acting of all the actors in this movie, the directing, the storyline, everything was top notch. This is high quality horror.❤👌🏼
This movie got me a few times - so much tension, terror and emotion. They were all suchhhh great actors! I got phantom pains from the bear trap scene
Did anyone notice the powerful visual storytelling, just after the Abbots reach the foundry? Take a look at the flyover of the chimney stack; there is a chopped-up burning creature body in it! What that means is that Cillian's character knew how to kill one a time--that's what the bottles and bear trap were for--but he didn't know how to exterminate them.
5:30 "It was very smart of them to hold off and not release this during COVID"
I hadn't realised this was over. Must be all the masks, online meetings, confinement and curfews that confused me.
It helps if you don't live in a city
Is it me or should A Quiet Place Part II be called, A Quieter Place? And the inevitable threequel should be titled, The Quietest Place.
Too obvious but then they did call the Die Hard sequel Die Harder...
Nah, that's too tongue in cheek. This movie isn't supposed to be funny or snarky, it's meant to be serious. Not to mention this film is (very mild spoiler) not nearly as quiet as the first one. Wouldnt make sense to call the movie that was louder than and contains way more talking than "a quite place", "a quieter place"
Lol...
Not gonna spoil anything but after the ending of this film the 3rd should definitely be called a Loud place.
No 😭
I think what many forget is how well executed the apocalypse theme is played out. The opening sequence felt real and dangerous. Even though we knew how the monsters hunt, we still felt as overwhelmed by fright and shock as the characters
This series develops characters better than most movies with dialogue. Fantastic movie liked it even better than the first
I saw the first one at the movies... me personally, I'll stream this one at home.
People coughing, rummaging through their popcorn bags, whispering to their friends... you could hear everything
I’m so glad to see other people enjoyed this movie as much as I did. Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe are two of the best young actors I’ve ever seen high marks to them
Well I saw it and I found it disappointing. It was basically the first one with a new character and a boat.I actually dozed through scenes because I just felt like there was nothing new happening. If it would have been as intense as the first 10 minutes or so it would have been great
I feel like the horror scenes are the same too, like the creature shows up and then the character has to be quiet and then they kill the beast. It’s just yeah a bit formulaic for me. The sequence that shows the beginning of the apocalypse was the one unique dynamic scene to me and I was with the film for the first half but yeah, slow trailed off.
Krasinski has to make A Quiet Place 3 with Steve Carell reprising his role as Michael Scott.
I'll sign on as a Producer.
Bro that is so funny wow
shittiest actor in one of the best movies this decade? pass
Just got back from viewing, this was like an hour and a half long heart attack - the tension is incredibly high and never ever lets up. I highly recommend this to anyone, it’s a must watch.
One thing I think won’t get brought up a lot is the perfect editing. The film cuts A LOT between characters doing different stuff and the tension builds simultaneously between each thread, the cuts themselves are clever and the overall flow is perfect. Never a dull moment, this film is seriously well paced and pure adrenaline
The only gripe I have is that I really don’t see it as a horror, more of a sci fi thriller
I think it’s clearly more horror than sci-fi or thriller. It has the jump scares, the eerie score, the long, drawn out, tense, don’t look over your shoulder moments. The only sci-fi bit of it is the fact there are aliens, but they are portrayed more as monsters than aliens, otherwise sci-fi is usually reliant on environment and characters and neither are sci-fi in this film, they are in fact grounded in reality. As far as thriller goes, there are thrilling moments to be sure, but all of the thrilling moments also double as horror moments as well, so it might as well be just horror. Se7en is a quintessential thriller, whereas something like Halloween is quintessential horror. This has more in common with Halloween than Se7en. This film is pretty clearly influenced by Stephen King as well. You could say it falls into the Signs realm, or the Alien realm. Both are considered horror (Alien more so) and AQP is scarier than either, and more horror themed than either as well.
@@WinedandDined27 I agree. It's definitely a bit sci-fi but way more horror.
It can still be horror even if it isnt as "scary". You can argue even the 1st game isnt scary. However, since the last movie ended with them knowing how to kill the aliens, it makes sense to be more action. I do agree though that the movie needed more tense moments such as the chase after triggering the bottle trap setup by cillian murphy
I Agree with you the movie should’ve been more scarier
@@WinedandDined27 Sci fantasy or sci fi all the way.
This movie is the peak example of horror where it works because you don’t want anything bad to happen to these characters and it makes it so tense.
Building suspense works amazingly as well rather than cheap jump scares everywhere. The jump scares in this movie were used very tastefully.
The film changes the rules of the first. Remember how crucial the sand path was? Eh, whatever, once they reach the end, they just keep going for miles offscreen until they trigger Cillian's tripwire.
I don't believe Chris could miss obvious oversights like this. He's currying favor with somebody for his own script.
The sand path was crucial, and you saw it in the characters hesitation to leave it. But thats life!
@@Zaloomination They could have come up with some explanation on how they did it. Maybe by walking alongside the river or something.
@@banyarling right or on the grass!
I jumped every time the monsters came out! It was so good! Also, Cillian Murphy and Millicent Simmonds remind me of Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us.
I'm going to go ahead and assume you've seen the story for The last of Us part 2 so you know where Cillisn is going in a quiet place part 3...
