Literally nothing in the film makes any sense.

I think it's more that nothing is in the film for a reason. So many ideas and potential story threads in there but none of them are utilised properly or seen through to completion. It's a trash fire of a film

Yeah this I agree with.

We watched short circuit last night for a family film. Other than the casual racism it still holds up and was enjoyed by all.

I asked my kids yesterday what they would like to do for the Bank Holiday, and it being the hottest day on record they agreed unanimously that they wanted to go and sit in a dark room and watch A Quiet Place Part 2.  So we did.

Brief aside about going to the cinema in general.  I'm still not wildly comfortable with it.  Odeon advertised that seats would be socially distanced, which they sort of were, in that every row only appeared to have one party on it.  However the people both in the row in front of and behind me were immediately in front of and behind me.  Thus lots of space to the side, but I had a guy coughing over my shoulder for the duration. (sigh)

Anyway - the film.  It's a reasonably good popcorn flick. It's very much more of A Quiet Place, for better and worse.  It mostly takes place immediately after the end of the last one, and there is once again lots of tiptoeing about whilst big old monsters threaten to eat the kids. It once again contains a whole bunch of breathtakingly stupid decisions and plot holes that make literally no sense.  However in contrast to, say, Army of the Dead, the ride is sufficiently good that you're mostly content to push them to one side until the film is over.

In fact, my favourite part of the film was the drive home afterwards, where I had a lively discussion with the kids about what was the most stupid thing in the movie, and whether it was really a film series about how boys are morons. (I should explain that my kids are two teenage girls.) 

As a film, its biggest flaw is that there's nothing in the runtime that comes close to matching the opening 15 minutes - a highly effective flashback to Day 1 of the attack, that left me wanting more of that movie. The finale maybe comes close, but it's so dense in those afore mentioned dumb character decisions that suspense does, finally, give way to outright incredulity.

Still, it's fun, and does pretty much what you expect it to.  Not sure it's worth venturing into a cinema for though, unless you're vaccinated to the hilt.

Does John Krasinski's amazing plan board make a return?

Ooooh that's a sexy jaws poster

Bloody designers always trying to be ‘clever’. The OG Jaws poster is near-perfect, leave it alone.

Wankers, all of 'em.

That Jaws image would be about 100million times improved without that stupid cloud. 

You probably won't like this either then.

Jaws as goblin shark certainly would have been a choice.
