La réalisation pousse incroyablement fort sur le niveau de tension des scènes, comme au service d'événements révolutionnaires dans le genre. Cependant, elle ne sert rien de novateur (hormis l'idée originale de couper le son d'une jeune fille sourde-muette) et s'inspire davantage de sources extérieures (un véritable festival de la part du directeur de la photographie dans une superbe introduction et un hommage à La Guerre des mondes de Spielberg). Le principal problème du film est néanmoins le contraste encore plus grand que dans le premier opus entre la réalisation visuellement brillante et la stupidité du scénario. Le film manque de l'intelligence de base et de la logique paysanne des scénaristes expérimentés et pensants de manière complexe. L'augmentation de la tension par une visualisation intéressante, entourée de tant de bêtises, révèle (inconsciemment) leur prétendue sophistication créative à courte vue, qui est parfois presque risible.

Une suite très respectable dans laquelle on ne fait que varier les plaisirs du film original, néanmoins sous une forme très engageante et sans temps morts. Et Cillian Murphy s’est avéré être un excellent pari pour renforcer la distribution. Je dois quand même reconnaître que, là où certaines décisions douteuses prises par les personnages dans le numéro un ne me perturbaient pas trop, ici, j’ai eu du mal avec certains passages.

It bothers me a bit that all the plot of the second A Quiet Place stems from the fact that one of the characters comes up with a fairly sensible plan, but instead of thinking it through calmly and discussing it with the others, she immediately sets out to implement it herself, which, of course, sets in motion a number of problems and dangerous situations for herself and the others. It also suffers a bit from the syndrome of the second part of a trilogy (I reckon there’ll be a another sequel), which de facto doesn't begin or end in any way. And ultimately, I could’ve done without those cheap jump scares. Despite all that, however, this is very effective monster horror, and since this is my first cinema experience after ten months of covid misery and suffering, I can't go below a four.

The first film caught me off guard with its unique concept, but the sequel doesn't quite manage to surprise in the same way. A Quiet Place Part II feels more like a continuation rather than an evolution, with nothing that truly elevates it beyond the original — except for Cillian Murphy, who brings the most interesting character into the mix. Otherwise, it follows the Hollywood playbook: no bigger action scenes, no greener pastures. It almost feels like the first film was just the halftime of the story.

At some point before the end of the first film, I already felt this world was a bit exhausted and I didn't quite feel the need to return to it. The sequel confirms that feeling, unfortunately. John Krasinski basically repeats what worked last time, and I'm going to believe that it's not because he can't do anything else, but rather because his world doesn't stand on a strong enough foundation on which to build a full-fledged sequel. If, however, you caught the last one before the closing credits and you're in the same boat as me, you're going to get a bit lost in the sequel. Krasinski is very confident in the action scenes, he can also get the atmosphere right and his scares are in the right places, but the whole thing feels somehow unnecessary. Trying to expand the world doesn't lead to anything interesting, Cillian Murphy's character doesn't really work, and trying to split up the protagonists and spread them out over several locations and give each one their own challenge or problem misses the mark too. It's more like Krasinski is chasing minutes and trying to get to the end credits as soon as possible so that the audience doesn't notice that this sequel doesn't make much sense and just varies what the first film impressed with. There really aren't many new ideas here, and I can easily do without the third film.
