While I can't say that A Quiet Place II is as good as the first, it's pretty darn close! Considering the viewer is going into it with more knowledge about the fictional universe than the previous one, I think the creators did an excellent job of keeping the idea suspenseful and fresh.
My only complaint would be the addition of a new leading male, seemingly to replace Krasinski's role in the last film. Great actor, but his part seemed unnecessary. Emily blunt and the child actors could've easily carried this film by themselves.
Overall, great follow-up if you're looking to spend more time with these characters and feel suspense!
