Djimon Hounsou – Kings movie reviews

“A Quiet Place: Day One” is a 2024 horror movie and third installment and prequel for the horror series “A Quiet Place.” This one stars Lupita Nyong’o (Us), Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things), and Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy.)

A woman (Nyong’o) dying of cancer and a young man in law school (Quinn) are both living in NYC when an aliens who possess hypersensitive hearing invade earth. The two become unlikely allies in the fight to survive.

The last one introduced us to the very beginning when the aliens invaded earth, it was just a more rural area. Outside of this one taking place in an extremely populated city, I feel like we already saw the beginning in the last one. The acting is great from Nyong’o and Quinn, and it’s only fitting that Quinn is in this one since the aliens are identical to the Demogorgon’s in ‘Stranger Things.” However, even with these two talented actors, the movie falls flat. We already know you have to be quiet, or the aliens will find you and attack you, we’ve seen this the past two movies. This one doesn’t bring anything new or exciting to the table. It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to this one, but if they don’t do anything different, it’s probably time to let this franchise die. I give it a 6/10, and that’s only because Eddie from “Stranger Things” is in it.

‘A Quiet Place Part II’ is the sequel to 2018 Sci-Fi/Horror movie ‘A Quiet Place’. It brings back the original cast of Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada), Noah Jupe (Honey Boy), Millicent Simmonds (Wonderstruck), and John Krasinski (The Office). While adding heavy hitters Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders), and Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy).

The Abbot Family must face a new challenge by leaving their home. They run into an old family friend (Murphy) who helps the family as they look for a utopia in order to survive.

So the first one is extremely good, so the question is how good is this one. It starts out as a little bit of a prequel as it shows the day they aliens arrived, after that it jumps into the sequel and picks back up where the first one left off. So Krasinski is only in it for about ten minutes or so then Murphy takes over as the male lead, honestly I would rather have Murphy, who doesn’t want Tommy Shelby over Jim? It starts out a little bit slow but the movie does take off and is full of action. We are left in the end of the first one that Simmonds is our main heroine as she as figured out how to stop the aliens, and the second one still goes that direction. It isn’t resolved in this one but is set up for another, so we’re looking at a trilogy possibly more. I honestly liked this one better than the first. I give it an 8/10. I’m excited to check out part III.
