John Krasinski delivers a truly original piece of film. A story of a family surviving in a world where silence must be maintained, otherwise you get killed by some monsters. I was glad we didn't get a load of pointless explanation about the monsters, our knowledge is limited to what we see in the main characters basement.
As you would expect a film with very little dialogue has to rely on score and cinematography both of which work to amazing effect. Acting from all the family is spot on with the actress that plays Regan a very strong performance as also is Emily Blunt.
A Quiet Place is at it's best when it is just silence, even the viewer is scared to make a noise.
Only negative, maybe the ending isn't that great but that's been very critical.
This is a superb original concept and let's be honest there hasn't been many of them recently

Unlike many nursing books, Christie retold her time as a nurse, including some of the research and theory behind being a nurse, in a way that people with no knowledge of the subject would be able to understand. I found it to be cleverly put together, however there were some slow moments, disinteresting moments, and times I felt I didn't agree with what she was saying or doing.
Overall it expressed the nurse's commitment to her job and patients, portrayed her humanity and explored the depth of the mental, physical and emotional pressures that she managed, along with being a young person, a partner and a mother.

It gives a great perspective of the damage violence/bullying can cause and how one has to deals with violence afterwards.
I think this movie is great for adult but kids and teens might not get the real meaning of this movie and only take it at face value.
For example some people might think his collection of women's shoes is because he wants to crossdress but i believe it is just because he likes them like some guys like classic cars. To him they are art, he even mentions his knowledge about shoes when he was saying that they are the wrong time period. By not being in the mainstream like everyone else and doing what he feels comfortable with he is bullied to the max just for being different.
David McK (3377 KP) rated Marvel's Spider-Man in Video Games

Seemingly taking it's cue - especially in combat - from Rocksteady's Arkham series of Batman games, this tells a completely new, completely stand-alone story, with a Peter Parker who has been Spider-Man, now, for 8 years and so is free of any restrictions placed upon it by tying it to a particular movie or graphic novel.
While it can get a bit repetitive in places, the central mechanic of web-swinging around a populated New York - one that even has a scale able The Avengers Tower in it (question: what will happen now that the Sony/Marvel deal has broken down?) - is great fun, while the story and plot itself is actually pretty good. Yes, anyone with even a passing knowledge of the Spider-Man lore may see where parts of it are going, but the fun (in this case) is in the journey, not the destination ...
Looking forward to the inevitable sequel.
