The first one was good. It felt "natural" and original and I didn't think it was predictable.
The sequel felt like...... well, a typical "sequel".
It was just trying to cash in on the 1st movie. It felt unnecessary and didn't have anything useful to add to the story.
It is always interesting to see the polarizing opinions of the SAME movie.
I am SURE the key is how FORGIVING or TOLERANT we are.
I bet if Quiet Place 2 had Beth, Kate, and Julia as the main stars, I'd be giving it 20 STARS.
