They're ba-a-ack... The sound-seeking creatures, who make your next
inadvertent rustle your last, again have an ear peeled for Emily Blunt.
Although A QUIET PLACE - PART 2 looks every bit as good as its
predecessor, it doesn't much advance the original's plot ...which serves
mainly to expose how little of that there was. Somewhat recommended.

Someone's probably raised this point before after 'Stupid Premise I'... If

You mean because they'll hear each other and attack? Presumably they
can tell the difference. That does raise the question, though, of why
the humans don't bullhorn a loop of Times Square on New Year's Eve...
