A Quiet Place: Part II Social Media Reactions Heap Praise on the Scary Sequel
Erik Davis, Managing Editor at Fandango, remarks that some sequences in the film are a "masterclass in suspense."A QUIET PLACE PART II: A worthy, world-expanding followup that builds on the original and finds its own thrills, chills, and emotions in the process. Audiences should still be banned from eating crunchy snacks during any and all screenings.
— Kate Erbland (@katerbland) March 6, 2020
Comicbook.com's Chris Killian claims the sequel is "riveting from top to bottom."Damn, #AQuietPlace Part II rocks! Honestly, just as tense and terrifying as the first one. There are some sequences in this film that are a masterclass in suspense. Bravo, @johnkrasinski. So good, so emotional, too. pic.twitter.com/3uSBwvCw0R
— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) March 6, 2020
The use of sound in #AQuietPlace Part 2 is still so vital. In what could easily have been a retread, @johnkrasinski finds unbelievably creative ways to keep the movie’s niche from getting stale. The entire cast is fantastic and it’s riveting from top to bottom. @quietplacemovie pic.twitter.com/gZHRyJOKXU — Chris Killian (@chriskillian) March 6, 2020Steven Weintraub, Editor-in-Chief for Collider, is here making an early plea for a Part III!
#AQuietPlacePartII is a great sequel that expands the world. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Movie is an hour and 45 minutes and when it ended wanted more. Is it too early to talk about #AQuietPlace3? pic.twitter.com/nj9tOTyygV — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) March 6, 2020Uproxx's Senior Entertainment Writer, Mike Ryan, lauds the addition of Cillian Murphy while Daily Dead's Heather Wixson and horror critic Meagan Navarro both celebrate Millicent Simmonds' great performance.
A QUIET PLACE PART II is “Tension: The Movie.” I have a stomach ache now from how tense this movie is. (Also, this turned out to be a surprisingly great Cillian Murphy movie.)
— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) March 6, 2020
So #AQuietPlacePartII was incredibly tense & builds upon the story from the first film in some unexpected/inspired ways. Cillian Murphy RULES & Millicent Simmonds really comes into her own her with a truly phenomenal performance.
— Heather Wixson (@thehorrorchick) March 6, 2020
Rotten Tomatoes' EIC, Joel Meares, goes so far as to call Millicent Simmonds his "new Ripley."A QUIET PLACE PART II is not at all what I expected, and that's a great thing. A very creative sequel that goes to some unexpected and satisfying places. Bravo Millicent Simmonds. #AQuietPlacePartII #AQuietPlace
— Meagan Navarro (@HauntedMeg) March 6, 2020
CinemaBlend's Managing Director, Sean O'Connell, asserts that Krasinski has "Spielberg-level chops."Kudos to John Krasinski and co: #AQuietPlace Part II delivers. Millicent Simmonds is my new Ripley — owns the film. (And yes, some great scares.)

To avoid having your settings wiped, Epic has added a "Copy from Legacy" option which will allow players to save their current sensitivities once Legacy Controls are turned off for good. To do this, simply head into the in-game setting menu and navigate to the "Controller Options" tab. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/20/fortnite-chapter-2-season-2-top-secret-launch-trailer"] Last year, a "hack" was discovered that allowed controller players to use the Legacy Controls to track players through walls, smoke, and tall grass. Since then, the PC community has been constantly asking Epic to nerf the aim assist controls and level the playing field. With the successful launch of Chapter 2: Season 2, it seems Epic is finally ready to listen. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/20/fortnite-chapter-2-season-2-battle-pass-gameplay-trailer"] While you're waiting for the change to go into effect, be sure to check out our Brutus' Briefing and TNTina's Trial challenge guides to earn some extra XP for the Season 2 Battle Pass. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Andrew Smith is a freelance contributor with IGN. Follow him on Twitter @_andrewtsmith.With the improvements we’ve made to Aim Assist, we plan to remove the “Use Legacy Look Controls” setting on March 13.
To use the new settings and maintain your legacy sensitivities, select “Copy from Legacy” in the Controller Options and toggle off “Use Legacy Look Controls." pic.twitter.com/Latu1j0KNc — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) March 6, 2020
