David McK (3540 KP) rated A Quiet Place: Part II (2021) in Movies
Apr 10, 2023
Sequel to the 2018 original, which - despite being a commercial and critical darling - was a film that I couldn't really see what all the fuss was about.
Despite being a sequel, this actually starts back at 'Day One' with a protracted flash-back scene that I'm not quite sure the point of, before jumping ahead to pick up almost immediately (like, immediately immediately) after the ending of the first film, with the remnants of the same family now leaving their refuge and trekking cross-country to the hills where they know there are other survivors (Cillian Murphy), but now also armed with the knowledge of how to defeat the seemingly-invincible 'hunt by sound' creatures.
What follows is roughly an hour and a half, maybe three quarters or so, where they continue to make bad decision after bad decision, and where the tension is consistently racked up, almost to the the point where the jump scares lose most (but not all) of their impact ...

Well done!
Good acting, cool cinematography and a fun, entertaining story! The description almost gives away the story. However, it turns out much more intense and action packed than you'd think. The characters were great and the story unfolded beautifully. I'm kind of glad they didn't go the typical "leave-it-open-for-a-sequel" Hollywood ending. If you're into war movies (and/or "monster" movies)you'll enjoy this film. Really worth a watch!
The Craggus (360 KP) rated Happy Death Day 2U (2019) in Movies
Mar 5, 2019
Happy Death Day 2 U (2019) brings us a happy return to the big screen for Jessica Rothe. #Review
Planting its tongue firmly in cheek, the sequel to 2017’s delightfully peppy “Happy Death Day” takes the timey-wimey slasher story and gives it a decidedly sci-fi twist that sees it play out like an over-caffeinated mash-up of “Back To The Future Part II” and “Russian Doll”...

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Add Romance and Mix in Books
May 28, 2018
This is an incredibly sweet next door neighbor romance with an age gap. I loved the awkwardness of Brinley. I think she embodies all of us slightly nerdy, unsure of ourself people. Leah was not as deep but fit the role well. I also liked Kat, Brinley's sister, she was the snarky one. This story lends itself to be continued because all the characters can grow. I hope to see a sequel, perhaps a series.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Dracula Untold (2014) in Movies
Jul 1, 2018
When I first saw the previews for this movie, I was sold. I like different takes on Dracula, and I thought the backstory they built was really cool. I was kind of sad when it didn't do well, and it'll probably never get a sequel. I loved Luke Evans as Dracula, and if Universal had decided not to can Dark Universe, I'd have hoped they'd have opted to bring him back.
Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Incarnate (2016) in Movies
Jul 15, 2019
Wow
Not your typical exorcism movie. The acting and cinematography were phenomenal. The storyline unfolded beautifully and intensely in this supernatural thriller. The twists were a bit predictable and the end, of course, left it open for a sequel, but none of that took away from the entertainment value. If you enjoy possession stories you'll enjoy this one. It approaches possession and exorcism from a very interesting perspective/angle. REALLY worth a watch!

It could have been so much better
When I watched the first installment of the Divergent series I thought wow this is awesome. Then Insurgent came and it was victim to the sequel curse. When i saw Allegent was coming out I thought for sure they must have learned their lesson.
Nope.
A shame because the actors are fab but their talent is wasted in this.
Wouldn't recommend wasting time watching this.
