POSITIVES…
A worthy follow-up to the first installment. Arguably even better than part one.
Amazing cast! From Millicent Simmonds, Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Noah Jupe, to John Krasinski.
Day 1 flashback section of the movie. Amazing.
All that tension and thrills that this movie can achieve. Fantastic.
So effective in telling a story with many scenes not containing dialogue. May as well be a silent film at times.
The moments that do contain dialogue, were eloquent, and even thought provoking.
Really great at intercutting certain scenes together, that were really engaging to see play out on screen.
There were some really engrossing scenes to experience in this movie. Kudos to Director John Krasinski!
What also greatly helps with the tone and the narrative, is the musical score. So good.
Visually, the cinematography and those arresting imagery. Top notch.
Monster creature effects are excellent.
Those big triumphant moments deserve a standing ovation.
NEGATIVES…
Certain plot conveniences and familiar tropes do still crop up, which cheapens the narrative a bit.
Some “why are you doing that?!” moments that make you want to do a facepalm.
Fake out jump scares. Come on. I feel like you don’t have to rely on those for this movie.
That one stupid idea of a trap. Unbelievably wasn’t thought through was it?
All those shots of bare feet.
