The most basic, and most important, thing one should know about "A Quiet Place Part II" is pretty simple: it's an extended version of the first part. Everything which constitutes an essential element in first film, appears here, and John Krasinski carefully expands these ideas to continue the story. So, this is a good sequel in a most straightforward way: it's just following the original.

At it's core its still the film about the family surviving in a hostile world. But dramatic pieces are moved to the background for the sake of suspense and pacing. There's also less character development (since most of them were already established in the first part) but more horror. Krasinski uses "stay quiet to stay alive" concept for lots of chills and thrills. To keep the tension, film also uses parallel editing and it's really looks refreshing.

Of course, some of the family members (as well as Cillian Murphy's character) sometimes acts kinda rushy, but all such decisions look and feel convincing. There's some shortage of gore and blood, as well as in the first film, given the speed and ferocity of the creatures. Last but not least, great acting work from Emily Blunt and Millicent Simmonds. Go see it if you're fan of the original. Or if you just love small-scaled post-apocalyptic stories with a human touch.
