your theatrical experience your pros your cons do you want to see more from this franchise and also
which one did you enjoy more part one part two let's discuss it in the comments so up
top i want to just this little quick story long story short i have a bit of a history with this
movie it was just like it was yesterday it was 2020 i was only two days away from seeing this
early but unfortunately theaters were shut down screeners were no longer available and the film
got delayed as we all know but quick little kudos to those there were people that did
see this film a year ago and to my knowledge there were no spoilers there were no leaks so
thank you all for keeping quiet all pun intended and not giving anything away from this film but
also there's another part of the story this is my personal first time going to the theaters for a
screener in over a year and two months and i just want to start the review off by that positive note
this is why the actual experience is so important now over the last year i've had the opportunity to
see films at home and enjoy those for what it was not every film deserves a theatrical experience
but this is a film that deserves to be seen in theaters with the biggest screen with the best
sound because this is an experience that you have to see in theaters ladies and gentlemen i want to
start off by giving kudos giving props to the sound design now this film was nominated for
best sound design in 2018 it didn't win but go ahead and chalk it up for another another
nomination this year and hopefully it wins this time around because it is just so incredible to me
how detailed the sound design is it is so integral to the story it's so meticulous it creates the
environment and enhances the environment and i love the sound design in this film just like 2018
this one's even more important to the story just sitting on pins and needles watching this movie
watching our characters walking around being very aware of their surroundings it's just an
experience that is like no other with this franchise and the sound design in this film is
incredible speaking of sound i have to give kudos to the composer this film who composed the first
one that's marco trammy he's back i love the way that his sound fits within this world it builds
attention and he did a great job to score this movie but speaking of great job let's talk about
the director and the sole writer of this film and that is john kranzinski who was credited for
writing the first one but him as well as other colleagues that helped write the first one
this one is his story he's a director he's back not only is he great in the direction
the writing but he's also in the film as you all know if you saw the trailer it isn't a spoiler
but speaking of his direction john kozinski it's so incredible to see him not only manage
to carry over all the great things that makes the first one great but he adds to it
and in this film the emotions are there the continuation the character's arts are there
the themes of parenthood and hopefulness is in this film and it's so intricate in this story
there are more thrills there is more suspense and we cover even more ground in this film
as well as being introduced to new characters in new environments and the world building is even
more extensive we see and meet new characters that are again there are characters that are hopeful
in this franchise and there's some that aren't so especially being 400 plus days removed from
that first alien attack it is just so great to see john kozinski being able to be so craftful
so skillful in creating the shots creating tension and it is just incredible to see him behind the
camera there are some scenes in this film that i don't want to give too much away but for example
the the opening of this film is legit amazing and it's like actual scary the way they open up this
film and and they've released some clips and it's even the trailer but there's more to that opening
it's just phenomenal everything that involves that abandoned warehouse was shot so well it was great
there's a doc scene that was just incredible and so suspenseful and the third act in this movie
is literally perfect it is an emotional payoff that is just so deserved and i don't want to get
too much into it but the ending of this film is perfect i also love how jon was able to
kind of recreate some of the more iconic moments from the first one i'll just say
there's a recreation of a sense of the tub scene involving emily blunt but this time with
a different character as well as that remember that scene when she stepped on that nail think
about that scene and times it a thousand in this film it will catch you off guard and i was shocked
when that moment happened and the character did such a great job in that moment but i thought
drunk is this he did a great job of pacing the film and his storytelling deserves all the praise
in the world but speaking of all the praise let's talk about the performances starting off
with one of my favorite actresses working today in hollywood that's emily blunt she was one of
my favorite performances back in 2018 uh a quiet place to of the first quiet place that performance
was one of my favorite horror uh performances in the last decade i had it was emily blunt uh tony
collette and hereditary lupita nawango and us as well as florence pew and that's just to name a few
but emily blunt she was great in that film she's even better in this film in regards to she's back
to that mama bear mentality she's doing whatever it takes to protect her family and she doesn't
have that safety net of knowing her environment like she did in the first one because they had
all the traps and all the different things they can know what's going on but this time around
she doesn't know her environment she's new to this and she does such a great job emily is so great in
this role because there's not a lot of dialogue in this film as we know from the first one and
the same thing with this one but it's more so it's her way that she invokes emotion through her eyes
her her impressions uh the sense of urgency that she has and her performances and nuances is just
incredible emily blunt you're so great in this film and she's just a great actress in general
but we also have a newcomer that i want to talk about here and that is killian murphy who in my
opinion he's so underrated i've been a fan of his since 2002 uh 28 days later and just everything
that he in he's great he's so underrated but nonetheless he he picks his products pretty
meticulous he he doesn't always do a lot of stuff like i think he should be in more movies but he
picks his projects very detailed and he fits this franchise like perfectly like a glove you
learn his backstory you understand his motives his character arc is really well done the chemistry
he has with another character in his film and the mission they were on was so engaging so thrilling
he was great but i gotta talk about the stars of this film and the potential characters that could
carry this franchise on if they continue to do so and that is millicent simmons as well as noah jupe
they are the stars of this film ladies and gentlemen speaking of noah joop who
has been working with people like emily blood john kranzinski matt damon christian bale nicole kidman
hugh jackman james mangle and his performance in honeyboy he already has an impressive career
but he is so great in this film his his future is very bright ladies and gentlemen i love
where his character ends in this film i love the responsibility he's given in this movie i love the
incredibly tense moments that he's involved in and there is uh such an incredible arc that he
has it's so satisfying it's so earned when we see when you see the arc that this character has
i thought that he was great in this movie but the lead of this movie in my opinion
is millicent simmons who oh my goodness she was so great in this film the way that the first part
ends she has this kind of she wants to honor her dad she wants to have hope she wants to continue
his journey and hope is a big theme in this film and i thought that middleton did such a great job
seeing her almost kind of take on emily's role from the first one and kind of protecting her
family was great in this film she was fantastic she has one of the best moments in this film
involving a doc scene and in the third act when involving her and her emotional payoff and her
kind of character art was so incredible again there's a scene involving water that she was
just great in and i thought those kids which if you're a horror fan like i am and horror and kids
don't always mix well but the kids in this film millicent and noah were absolutely fantastic all
the performances by even the supporting characters were just great so those are my crit my pros you
know the performances the direction the sound design all that stuff is fantastic the suspense is
there i do have some criticism very minor things in the story i mentioned how emily blunt is great
she might be just as good in this film in regards to just the emotions the nuances her performance
but she's she's a little bit in the background because and listen we get more opportunity with
the kids in this film which i applaud but i wish selfishly i wish emily was just a little bit more
involved in this story because literally this this film there's a lot of stories going on i'll
just say that let's just say there are characters that are split up in this movie and i just wish
that emily was just a little bit more involved in the main story but she's great don't get me wrong
she's great i'm just selfishly i always want more emily blunt in anything she's in but this is more
a little bit of the nitpicks that i have with this film there are and this is for my horror
fans we all know this there's the occasional plot conveniences and there's the that occurred
throughout this film especially when it comes to important characters hanging to like having
plot armor i'll just say that without diving too deep into it again small little detail uh but also
this is something i wanted a little bit more from the second one i want to learn a little bit more
about the creatures slash the aliens a little bit more of their order stories we don't get that much
in regards to again that's what the beauty of horror is the you know the suspense you
know not knowing everything but i wish we would have got a little bit more information regarding
around the creatures in this film and i also wish i loved the ending i think the ending is perfect
i wish the last shot of the movie was a little bit different i'll just kind of leave it at that
without diving to spoiler so literally very little nitpicks that i have this film so with
all that being said before i give you my overall thoughts my score let you know which one i thought
was better make sure to like the video share the video leave your thoughts in the comments if you
haven't already your thoughts on the first film if you've seen the second one your excitement level
your pros your cons and of course which ones you enjoy more and of course subscribe to channel if
you haven't already all that being said ladies and gentlemen overall this is a perfect example of why
the theatrical experience is a must for certain films and a quiet place is that film it keeps
everything great about the first one and only adds to it it makes the stakes higher it's more intense
the suspenseful moments are executed perfectly the characters have grown the world building is there
and the heart and the emotions of the films remain intact this is a must-see theatrical experience
and i can't recommend it enough with that being said i'm gonna give a quiet place part two
a 4.8 out of five and with that being said which one that i enjoy more
2018 is one of my favorite films of that year is one of my favorite horror films this last decade
but i'm going to go ahead and say a quiet place 2 is just as good as the original which is so rare
because we know sequels aren't always sometimes sequels don't even come close to the original
but i think this surpasses the original for me personally it's more tense the character arcs are
are more uh amplified the world building's there it does open the door for more possibilities for
a sequel i think they are announced i'm going to do a spin-off but i can see them continuing
the story and i'm going to be there if they do continue this in the theaters and if you have
the opportunity to see this in theaters if you feel safe number one if the theaters are open
in your area you have to see this in theaters ladies and gentlemen you will not be disappointed
you're here to hear first from movie files this is the must-see movie of 2021 so that's my thoughts
on the quiet place too but i want to know what you all thought of it once you've seen it again let
me know which ones you enjoy more where where do you want to see this franchise go next and let's
talk about it all in the comments thank you all for watching this review make sure to like share
