Everyone hated on Bird Box citing it was a Quiet Place ripoff. It had nothing to do with Quiet Place and stood on its own as a tense film. The sequel, Bird Box: Barcelona, is not bad it is just underwhelming, feels unneeded and cheap in the bad ways(not no budget "grindhouse" cheap, just cash in sequels of the 00s cheap) . Acting, effects, tension are all lacking this time, it has some good moments for sure and the ending is interesting, just not enough to interest me for a round three. It is funny, all the crappy 80s sequels we got, we eat those up, perhaps cause they didn't take themselves seriously, that is a fault of this it feels it is higher art than it is.
