The clown was scary, but not as much as in the last movie.

While The Conjuring franchise will most likely (and rightfully) go down as James Wan's greatest contribution to the horror scene, filmgoers shouldn't overlook how influential his Insidious movies were to the genre as we know it today. TheyWhile The Conjuring franchise will most likely (and rightfully) go down as James Wan's greatest contribution to the horror scene, filmgoers shouldn't overlook how influential his Insidious movies were to the genre as we know it today. They were big haunted house style attractions that are just as funny as they are scary. You can see countless imitators popping up in theaters regularly trying to capture that same rollercoaster combination of thrills and chills. Andy Muschietti's two IT movies are very much products of that.

The previous film was very much an '80s coming-of-age, comedy-adventure film à la The Goonies or Explorers that just so happened just so happened to have a homicidal clown darkening the tone a bit. Chapter 2 ends up being just as funny, but now that the characters have grown up the content has gotten a fair bit more graphic. Children are murdered in gruesome fashion and Pennywise has tricks that are even more disturbing up his sleeve this time around. Personally, this is one of the reasons I think it's a better movie.

Another one is that it wasn't afraid of taking some of the book's more hard to translate material and put it onscreen. The results are a more fleshed out and faithful adaptation that just so happens to have a lengthy running time some might find exhausting. You can tell they had to leave some stuff on the cutting room floor in order to keep this a strictly two chapter affair (i.e a lack of justification for Bower's return). The only time that really bothered me though was at the very beginning of the movie. I felt they rushed getting the "Loser's Club" back together. We really didn't get to see who they turned into as adults and how they still were clinging to problematic aspects of their past even after all those years. Some nuance was lost as a result. Although it was made up for in the final act where they have to face their demons in a battle of wills in order to lay their collective biggest one to rest for good.

I feel like they did a phenomenal job with the casting. With the exception of maybe Bill, I can actually see the kids from the previous movie growing up to be these people. That's really freaking cool.

Like the book, these movies have a soft spot for the broken, downtrodden, and the outcasts. It's a group of bullied kids that face trouble at school and at home ultimately staring down the evil that infects their town after all. However, even though they represent a variety of features society deems weaknesses, they're ultimately not very diverse with only one girl and minority amongst a group of primarily straight white males. Chapter 2 tries to fix this by changing one members sexuality. It just flat out doesn't work. Aside from the issues already inherent with changing the identity of a previously established character, the decision ends up feeling like an afterthought. Especially in the face of a much more effective portrayal of the kind of violent discrimination homosexuals have experienced that occurs at the very beginning of the film and is actually based on material from the novel. To be brutally honest they did a better job of making this sequel feel more inclusive by giving the black man back his role after passing it off to one of the white characters in the previous outing (yeah, still ticked about that). Glad to see they did Mike right this time around.

The return trip to Pennywise's deranged circus is certainly a long one, but it's filled with unforgettable moments both hilarious and unsettling. I had a blast with its mix of horror, humor, and heart. While there a few things I take issue with I feel like Chapter 2 did just enough to edge out the 2017 flick as the better movie and found it to be a totally satisfying conclusion to a 27 year long battle between a group of kids and a clown.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Talked about this movie over dinner last week with some friends after seeing it with Friend while our car was being serviced. I mentioned that I had spoken to a friend who’s gay about what he thought about the scene at the beginning of the movie that has garnered some criticism for its callous, unresolved milking of real life “gay-bashing” for shock-effect. I said at dinner that the kids-turned-adults had successfully beaten It but no one in the film could beat homophobia for some reason. But this friend had actually liked the symmetry of the beginning and the new relationship between Richie and Eddie created for the film.

The day I went to see the movie I talked to the person who works in the front office of my building and she said it was 1) too long (at nearly 3 hrs) and 2) the “fight” at the end went on forever. When I mentioned that to Friend, he laughed and said, “I heard that the Losers essentially bully It into submission at the end. It became a running joke to lean into each other in the first two hours of episodic scares to ask, “How is this going to result in them bullying each other?” Even during the actual fight, when It turns into a giant lobster or whatever, it seemed like the Losers had a fairly well thought out, well-foreshadowed plan to entrap him in a small-ass crawlspace before bashing him in the head or something. Everyone keeps saying “It must abide by nature regarding whichever form It takes,” so it seems like it ought to eventually come up. When finally they shout down the giant monster in a cave within a cave within a house by rudley calling him a “clown,” it just feels a little… mean? uncreative?

Ultimately, Friend seems like he’s got it right when he said that It’s repeated failure to eliminate the Losers when they return to Derry makes It seem progressively more and more incompetent. It’s the Wiley E. Coyote problem AKA The Dalek Problem: a menacing character loses his power to scare gradually over time if he repeatedly fails to obtain his objective, which is necessary for their rivalry to continue. Probably the best scene is under the bleachers at the football game. It’s one of the moments that hearkens back to the creepy mouthiness of It in the first film, the chilling way It manipulates its prey, takes advantage of their kindness, and doesn’t fail in its objective.

Sequels don’t have to be facsimiles of the original, especially not ones that are explicitly 27 years in the future. So much of what made the first film work so well was that its iconic portrayal of the 80s in Derry resonated so well with movie goers hot on the trailer of Stranger Things Season One and Super Eight and all the rest of those kid-powered nostalgic homages in recent memory. Part Two isn’t nostalgic about anything, and that’s okay, but at the same time, it felt a little out of place, lacking pop culture references from the present and relying pretty heavily on flashbacks from childhood and inside jokes from the Losers glory days.

The scares lacked a meaningful referent, which we’ve talked about as a necessary component of any good horror film, which might not be so much a fault of the film as the source material. Colleague from work said that Eddie’s thing in the book was a fear of eyes (???), which seems like more a gross-out plot point than anything meaningful to child development. I can’t help but think that Cary Fukunaga’s brief stint as a collaborator and director of the first film, and Jeffrey Katzenberg’s involvement–however minimal–contributed to the diminishing quality of the sequel.

All in all, It 2 is a bit of a mess–and a long mess at that. Alex McLevy over at the AV Club suggests that the film works better as comedy than horror, which I think was actually one of the strengths of the first one in the series as well. I remember sitting in the audience on opening night and listening to people laugh out loud because the scene was so scary and the way that the child actors stood in as surrogates for the audience rode a nice balance between comedy and horror. I think adults don’t get as much leeway when it comes to snappy one-liners in horror films, especially if they’re known for their comic chops, so a lot of the jokes that would’ve been hilarious to watch a 12-year-old no-name pull fall flat when said by the likes of Bill Hader.

I’m supposed to mention that the movie appears to have upped the racism to a ten in a way that the book had more nuance, so I’m just going to leave that flaming bag of **** on your porch to crush underfoot when you are good and ready.

It’s an important lesson in life to learn that you can never recover what you’ve lost and the past always remains in the past, so go see this movie if only to feel that brief tinge of pain and regret at the fact that you aren’t seeing the original… reboot… we loved so much.… Expand

It is not bad either, at all, but leaves much to be desired in comparison to its excellent first part; his balloon deflates a lot, not so much but he floats very softly. It has some very good moments of tension l, quite raw and gore scenes, but in general it is a soothing hitter. "It" is not a clown, it is an evil entity that takes many forms and here they do not show it as such, in the first one it was well introduced but here they were limited with the character, they are still determined to only show Pennywise and do not show their true potential. Although the performances and the actors are very good, the "companionship" is not felt, only when there are flashbacks and they show them guys is when you notice that "brothers" atmosphere. Many times it is not understood why an adult is going to be afraid of something that feeds on your dreams and you already know that if you are not afraid of it, nothing will happen to you (of the children if it is understood, obviously) .The problem is the script and deepened to that the long duration that does not know how to build and spin the plot well; It has some scenes of other people's shame and also forced comedy. I liked Stephen King's cameo and the turtle references for example. I also liked the reference to Nightmare on Elm Street.… Expand

The CGI in this movie, is very bad. Laughable at certain moments, the climax is just so bizarre and makes the long run time come across as very irrelevant. The run time wasn't a problem to its credit but I walked away sadly disappointed, and just can't get on board with many positive reviews that are out there.… Expand

( 76/100 )

"It Chapter Two" es un caso interesante de analizar. Hay más aventura que terror, más suspenso que espantos, más comedia que drama y, general, este es un cine gore. Y eso está bien. Personalmente la disfruté, especialmente el tercer acto, y fue por la evidente intención de expandir y explotar visualmente todos o la mayoría de los conceptos que podrían existir en el libro, o al menos, que Gary Dauberman (el guionista) planeó para ésta adaptación. Muschietti, en ese aspecto, tiene una visión increíble y comparte un viaje visual rico en criaturas y situaciones espeluznantes, sangrientas, psicoticas, extravagantes y espectaculares que propone a "It Chapter Two" como una de las mejores casas embrujadas que el cine haya hecho. Sin embargo no es difícil saber porqué puede ser deficiente. Antes de llegar al cierre, es necesario acompañar a los personajes por su propio recorrido personal en donde recuperarán memorias que los atacarán en su presente. Ese segundo acto es un poco pesado y falla en anclar al público, pues los personajes (a pesar de que realmente tienen todo el potencial de representar a diversas minorías) se encapsulan en superar situaciones tan personales que cualquier trascendencia se anula. En ese aspecto las ventanas de oportunidad se cierran y las puertas que quedan abiertas solamente crean algo de confusión y distancia, como todo el trasfondo de Pennywise y su ritual invocador. Por otro lado, hay un mejor trabajo de elenco que de actuación independiente. James McAvoy es algo raro, Jessica Chastain es muy simple, Bill Header solo es suficiente, los demás son solo apoyos cómicos o narrativos y Bill Skarsgard como Pennywise carga con un personaje muy incompleto. Pero cuando están todos juntos se puede sentir una interacción interesante y fluida; visualmente unidos aportan las gotas de nostalgia más importantes de la película.

"It Chapter Two" it's an interesting case to analyze. There's more adventure than terror, more thriller than scare, more comedy than drama and, in general, this is gore cinema. And that's fine. Personally, I enjoyed it, especially the third act since there's an evident intention of expanding and exploiting most of all the visual concepts that could exist in the book or at least the ones that Gary Dauberman (the screenwriter) planned for this adaptation. Muschietti, in that aspect, has an incredible vision and shares a visual trip rich in creatures and spooky, bloody, psychotic and spectacular situations that aims to be one of the best hunted houses that cinema has done. Nevertheless, it's not difficult to know why it can be deficient. Before getting to the end, it's necessary to join the characters in their personal walkthrough in which they will be attacked by their retrieved memories. That second act is kind of heavy and fails in graving the public since the characters (even though they have all the potential of representing many minorities) are so bounded to get over situations so personal that any transcendence is nullified. In that aspect, the opportunity windows are closed and the doors that are left open just create some confusion and distance; like the background of Pennywise and its invocation ritual. On the other side, there's a better cast work than independent acting. James McAvoy feels kind of weird, Jessica Chastain is very simple, Bill Header is just enough, the others are just comic or narrative reliefs and Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise carries with a really uncomplete character. But, when everyone is together, it can be felt an interesting and fluid interaction in which visually, all together, contribute with the most important drops of nostalgia in the film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El club de los perdedores vuelve a unirse una vez mas para acabar con Pennywise de una buena vez por todas en un viaje de 169 minutos de duración y para lograrlo tendrán que luchar contra su propio pasado, presente y contra sus propios miedos y demonios.

Debo decir en primer lugar que mis expectativas eran gigantescas pese a las tibias críticas que recibió, pero aún así fueron sobrepasadas exitosamente.

Evidentemente tiene mucho menos terror que su predecesora, pero a su vez contiene un tono mucho más sombrío y maduro, un tremendo desarrollo de personajes y una buenísima dirección artística, quizás el único tropiezo es que durante todo el segundo acto la película se sostiene enteramente de flashbacks que si bien no son aburridos, pudieron ser más breves pero fuera de todos, tuvo una buena ejecución, no tiene momentos aburridos.

El clímax es apoteósico y el desenlace esta cargado de emotividad y nostalgia, ésta película tiene momentos para todo, pero quien vaya dispuesto únicamente a asustarse puede que se desilusione, como dije antes, no tiene tantos momentos aterradores, pero todos funcionan perfectamente y en ocasiones inmensamente superior a la primera entrega.

Oficialmente la coloco entre las cinco mejores películas que vi este año, y en la categoría terror se lleva el primer lugar directamente al bolsillo, acabé con una enorme sensación de satisfacción y fascinación, cosa que rara vez ocurre con este tipo de películas, valió la pena la larga espera.… Expand

Making us proud Georgie.

I re-watched the 1990 mini-series and 2017 remake last month in preparation for this movie in terms of judging in quality. The 90's version had it moments, but I find some scenes unintentionally funny where it reeked of early Stephen King adaptations. 2017 was surprisingly good and a massive improvement, but laid back on cheap thrills.

‘IT: Chapter Two’ was a tough act to follow up on after the monster success of the first and with the second chapter being the hardest to adapt. I thought the movie both succeeds and stumbles in parts. Although reflecting back makes it feel more like a parody than a serious horror movie. An epic finale that ended in a over the top fashion - with themes of childhood trauma and the idea of holding on to the past despite growing up with age are sprinkled through out. The loser club are all grown up now and returning home to kill IT.

Whoever cast the grow up version of the loser club deserves massive praise here, because it’s pitch perfect casting and I could definitely see the child stars growing up to be the adult stars. James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Jay Ryan, and Isaiah Mustafa were all great in bringing the more dramatic aspects to the film. While Bill Hader and James Ranson bring the comedic aspects, but not to say they weren't dramatic as well, even making me tear up at one point.

Bill Skarsgard was truly amazing as Pennywise. The physicality in his movement has a certain silliness that you would expect to see from a clown, yet predatory with his animal-like attacks with drool running down his mouth and eyes staring in opposite directions despite looking straight at you. I find the dancing clown incredibly terrifying whenever he becomes playful and kind to deceive children.

Andy Muschietti truly shines as a director when it comes to bizarre imagery and unsettling camera angles, while also capturing some real emotions through the lens. The opening scene at the bridge where a homophobic attack takes place was really brutal and starts the movie off strong - on par with the Georgie meets Pennywise scene in the first movie.

Despite the run time being nearly three hours long, but I can’t recall ever being bored. It moved at a even pace in my opinion. I guess a few scenes could’ve been cut as most of it is unused footage from the first movie. Although it would be difficult to cut scenes as everything follows up to the next scene and that emotional punch towards the end wouldn’t be earned.

Now for the issues:

Henry Bowers was completely pointless in this movie and was only used for jump scars. Same thing with Mike, who through out these movies has nothing to do and the important things he did in the book was given to different characters.

I didn’t like how Stan’s suicide was handle, because you find out he actually “sacrificed” himself to save the others.

Some of the humor didn’t always land, especially if it’s right after a tense scene where it kinda deflates the horror. At times I struggled to gasp what the film marker was going for in certain scenes. Is this scene suppose to be scary or funny? Both maybe?

I wish there was more practical work for the monster scenes instead of CGI, because at times it looked really terrible. The finale battle at the end could’ve been in a video game boss fight.

Overall rating: Not as strong as the first, but still enjoyed it. Still, let’s kill this f**king clown.… Expand

Set design was decent. Audio was standard jump scare bass spikes with nothing memorable in terms of a score.

This blockbuster has by now pretty much run the usual course of time in theatres, but I do have just a couple of comments . . .

Stayed pretty faithful to the first movie, altho definitely stood on its own with its outrageous special F/X (can anyone enlighten me as to the significance in the scene where one of our heroes gets slimed in black oily vomit to the strains of "Angel of the Morning" for three seconds ?). Was there a crossover of producers and writers of other landmark horror flix like "Nightmare on Elm Street" or "The Shining", who took advantage of snippet scenes such as the marquee over the old movie house ? One super-obvious reference to another Stephen King hit "The Shining" threw in a couple of copy-cat scenes only seconds apart -- the "Here's Johnny !" face-in-the-door, followed immediately by flooding the toilet stall where Beverly was cornered with gallons of blood filling up the tiny space, as tho we couldn't get enough of that from the elevator scene in "Shining". Was that just cheap inspiration remounted for this reel-deal or was it intended as a surreal moment of film nostalgia intended to do a number on the viewer's already over-cooked brain ? At least this two-and-three-quarter hour horror fest ended on some notes of loving comradery of our united gang now all grown up, learning the value of loyalty and devotion to a cause.

Don't expect any tears of joys from the audience at those closing scenes. Just go see it for the fun and sensation.… Expand

The issue with that, is because those eventsWhere do I even begin? This movie is literally terrible. I kid you not. First off, the storyline structure is so messed up. The film is riddled with flashbacks of you Losers from the first film. The issue with that, is because those events took place in the first film, yet we never saw them - we don't care about those flashbacks! You cannot introduce something NEW in this film that supposedly already happened and expect us to care. A huge issue with these flashbacks is that it becomes formulaic. We get a flashback of one of the Losers, then we jump back to present day where they are in that location of the flashback. It's so boring and predictable to watch. Because of this, Pennywiise becomes so overexposed. He is not scary. We see him so much in this film, we are comfortable with him, thus he has no threat anymore. Because a bulk of this film is flashbacks, the main story is incredibly short. Because of the flashbacks and emphasis on that, the Losers don't feel united until the end of the film. We follow them individually, and it isn't interesting. Another issue for this "horror" film, is that is isn't scary. It's filled with cheap jumpscares and loud music. That isn't scary! There is creepy imagery, but that is entirely different from being scary. There's so much il placed comedy, that makes this film appear as if it was meant to be a comedy. It's...embarrassing. This film is tonally EVERYWHERE, and there are really weird, and disorienting editing choices as well. I will praise that this film is beautifully shot, and Jessica Chastain literally carries this film. The ending following the climax is also very sweet. Over all, this is a muddled and disappointing follow up. I don't recommend.… Expand

He gives a nod to this where he pocks fun at himself through Bill's character who is unable to give a satisfactory ending to his work. There's also a great deal of humour in the book as well, this is how the characters deal with the all the horror they face. Pennywise has absolute control of the town, controls both what children & adults see and don't see, is the cause of many major catastrophe's that occur in the town when it awakens every 27 years, leaving many unsolved murders. Had a great time watching the movie, highly recommend, can't wait to see it all put together when it's released on dvd.… Expand

I admit it, This movie is not as perfect as the first one but that does not stop it from being a fun and spooky ride. What really drives this movie is its cast of characters who are portrayed perfectly by the actors. I'd really like to put my spotlight on Bill Hader who portrays Richie Toizer (Previously played by the wonderful Finn Wolfhard.) Bill Hader really steals the show and I really think people ignore him as an actor. Not to ignore the other actors though which are all perfect. In this movie Pennywise comes back to torment the town of Derry Maine once again after 27 years. IT Chapter 2 is a long movie (3 Hours) and I think for good reason. The novel is 1000 pages long, It would be hard to fit that in 2 normal length movies. At know time did I really start to feel the length of this movie and I had no issue sitting through it. Let me get this straight though, This movie is spooky... Not scary. It's like walking through a haunted house at a theme park. Just pure fun horror goofiness. Scenes that were supposed to be scary made me laugh most of the time. But that doesn't extend to the clown himself... Pennywise. Bill Skarsgard does a perfect job as Pennywise and I actually felt a sense of dread when he was around. It really shines in one scene involving a room of mirrors which I won't spoil but just know, It is intense! I think the best of this movie is in the final confrontation which can only be described as incredible. The only reason I would put IT Chapter One a little bit above Chapter Two is the fact that IT Chapter One had me scared in almost every scene. The kids make a return in Chapter Two in the form of flashbacks which are excellently done and they all feel like they did in Chapter One. Besides one thing... A few of the kids grew up and they had to digitally de-age them which can be especially noticeable with Richie (Finn Wolfhard) but I stopped noticing this later on. This film has a lotta heart also. The chemistry between the losers is perfect and when something bad happens you feel as if it really happened. I cried twice during this movie but I won't say when. But other than the bad de-ageing I would call this a perfect film start to finish... Please go see it.… Expand

The previous is mentioned because of the characters do not have the same charisma that characters' representation from previous movie had. The actors do not finish to fit in the characters, creating a poor connection between their characters and an easy disconnection with the plot. Besides, some elements such as the scenography mixes the "current technology" with an old context during the movie that do not represent totally the correct scenography. The movie has good moments, but there are others that are totally cliche and predictable that takes away surprise and it is simple to know what is going to happen. It is a correct movie, but worst than the previous one that was very good.

Much like the first movie, It Chapter Two has a lot of disturbing scenes, and none of them include Pennywise a.k.a. the only person to have ever been bullied to death.

The characters from the first movie have grown up, and have all forgottenMuch like the first movie, It Chapter Two has a lot of disturbing scenes, and none of them include Pennywise a.k.a. the only person to have ever been bullied to death.

The characters from the first movie have grown up, and have all forgotten what happened in the town they grew up in. All except one dude who lives in an attic above a library, who has been preparing for the return of the killer clown. And from that point on the story is pretty much the same as chapter One, with the exception that main characters can die now.

What's most disturbing is the brutal way people in this town treat each other. In the intro of the movie a gay couple gets beaten halve to death for no justified reason, and one of them even gets thrown into a river from a bridge to drown. What the hell is wrong with these people? Pennywise comes across much nicer and even less gruesome compared to these hillbilly psychopaths.

The story takes its time to explain the main characters, and the pacing becomes rather slow and boring halfway through the movie. None of the encounters with Pennywise really strike a scary tone, and the final showdown is very underwhelming and incredibly stupid. The movie is over 2 hours long, which is way longer than is deserved.

While the first movie wasn't memorable but did entertain a little, i see much less value in this movie. I give this movie a 5/10. It's an underwhelming movie.… Expand

However, the movie is neither particularly interesting or scary. The plot is kinda all over the place, and it feels like exact same thing is happening on repeat for about an hour and a half. The characters split up, and we see them walk around alone, before a predictable (not scary or very well animated) jump scare happens. The character gets away, then rinse and repeat with all of them until the climax of the movie. There was one scene i love that i wont spoil, but it was certainly in the camp of "fun" over "creepy". unfortunately this film doesn't hold up to its fantastic prequel. 6/10 - good scenes, boring film :/… Expand

The long-awaited sequel to the successful new adaptation of Stephen King's popular novel has finally arrived and the truth is that it's a film incapable of responding to the expectations created.
It's still one of King's best adaptationsThe long-awaited sequel to the successful new adaptation of Stephen King's popular novel has finally arrived and the truth is that it's a film incapable of responding to the expectations created.
It's still one of King's best adaptations although considering that the level of these is always quite low, the bar of quality wasn't that high.

Like the 90's miniseries, this sequel faces the same problem when in the story it's time to tell the new conflict that now involves the characters as adults.

The children's story works very well because the story is built on something very basic and is something we can all relate to: Fear.
IT is an entity that transforms into their greatest fears and that's something that whithout a doubt everyone experienced as kids, so because of that everything flows better and that's why the first film is in most ways superior to its sequel.

It's ironic to think that a film that lasts almost 3 hours has a problem with its duration and at the same time it doesn't. I know it sounds strange but I say it because the duration doesn't feel heavy.
The film in a way despite the imbalance that it has and the huge ups and dowsn with the rhythm, it manages to remain stable. Unfortunately, the filling it uses for the gaps isn't really satisfactory. You could cut a lot and there would be no problem with the story.

A huge problem for me is that the film uses flashbacks too much and this is annoying because we are seeing once again that what evidently worked with that fear was when they were kids and problematically that fear no longer works in the same way when they're adults, therefore the film returns several times to them being kids and that's a serious obstacle because if we needed to see once again the horrors they experienced as kids then why do we had the first film in the first place?

It's for these reasons that It: Chapter Two is not so functional.
The film is well made, Andy Muschietti takes advantage of what he has despite the fact that his cast doesn't really have chemistry and also that on this occasion he uses too much jump scares which is a shame because this time Pennywise no longer feels like that scary character of the shadows with the exception of the scene in which he murders the girl in the baseball game. With Bill Skarsgård I have no problem. The others, frankly, don't seem to be so interested and that includes proven actors like James McAvoy Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader but at least they do enough.

Is worth it? Yes, personally I think so. It's not superior to the first one but if you saw it, well this is the end of the story, you can give it a try. Nothing remarkable but sufficiently entertaining.

As an extra there's something I must mention and it's because I've been reading that a lot of people is saying that you should read the novel and no, you shouldn't do it, unless you want to.
And I'm a huge fan of Stephen King but to watch a film based on some novel, regardless of the book or the writer, you don't need to read the book before watching the film because if so then you're saying the film is unable to support itself without the book. You should understand they're two very different narrative means.
The book exist for a reason as well as the film, know how to separate both.… Expand

The movie is shown in flash backs just like and throughout the book, its an excellent adaptation from a book that is in part very "out there",the ending of the movie has been changed & told in a way that is comprehensible to non-book readers. It's a shame that a large portion of Mike Hanlon's character especially was changed and left out, the racism that he and his parents suffered was very horrific. Despite the complaints of the length of the film, I felt it ended too soon, I wanted to see more character development with most of the characters. But my main complaint is the letter from Stan, they should have left it as the book, that it was fear that drove him to take his life. I'm looking forward to the 6 hours cut that's been promised when it's released on bluray.… Expand

Please before seeing this movie understand that it will feel different then the first. It’s a good movie if it stood alone and with the first film. But because much like our hero’s people can’t expect when things change. That things aren’t what we expect. They added things for people to understand the pacing of the plot a little better like the tokens. It’s so the characters had achievable small goals to build hope for the bigger one. The casting was absolutely amazing. The movie did something great too it showed that Bev’s character was strong and wonderful all while still being fragile. Everyone is so caught up in the blurred lines they forgot the thing that Stephen King does best. Write beautiful characters. Not to mention cameos.… Expand

The casting is perfect; Bill Hader steals the show but the rest of the cast kills it. Much better than the child cast. Pennywise is scarier than ever, and the addition of more villains makes the stakes even higher. Feels to me like a cross between Halloween (2018) and Stranger Things. Just as it is creepy, it's also very funny and heartfelt. The ending is fantastic and wraps up many of the loose ends. It really feels like the end of an era, though being only two movies long. I would watch this if you feel like a movie that can scare you, make you laugh and make you cry. It does a great job of all three.… Expand

Acting: 9
Plot: 7

It Chapter 2 adapted the second half of Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name which continues the story of the Losers Club in their adult years going up against the returning Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

Twenty-seven years after the events of It, the Losers Club are now adult and all of them have led a successful careers in their life. Most of them have moved out of Derry, Maine except for Mike Hanlon, who is the only who stayed in town and worked as the town librarian. Recently, Mike realised that Pennywise has made his return after he learnt that Pennywise killed one of the gay couple after they were attacked by homophobic youths.

He calls all of the Losers Club members to come back to Derry as soon as possible. Bill Denbrough (McAvoy), Beverly Marsh (Chastain), Ben Hanscom, Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak return except for Stanley Uris, who commit suicide after being told to return to town. The Losers Club have a reunion in a restaurant but they are attack by Pennywise (Skarsgård).

After the attack, Richie and Eddie wants to leave but Bill convinces them to stay after Mike told him that there is way to defeat Pennywise once and for all. Meanwhile, Henry Bowers, the bully who terrorised the Losers Club many years ago is revealed to have survived and breaks out of the insane asylum with the help of Pennywise and begins to hunt the Losers Club.

Just like the previously movie, character developments is once again the strong points in this movie. The adult casts who plays the Losers Club really matched their younger counterparts in terms of character developments and performance. The chemistry between for the adult casts worked really well on screen. In addition, I never find any flaws from the adult casts when they tried to match their younger casts counterparts. They really sync perfectly. Out of the Losers Club, Bill Hader who played Richie Tozier, have the best performance.

Bill Skarsgård have once again gave his best and terrifying performance on his portrayal of Pennywise just like in the previous movie. He never ceases his to amaze me with his acting and all of his scenes are not very boring. Andy Muschietti have also done a great job in his direction too just like his last movie.

However unlike the first movie, there are some flaws in this movie. The jump scares are not quite scary like in this first movie. Some of them are pretty predictable and you will know that a jump scares are coming in some scenes. The jump scares were really downgraded from the previous movie. Compared to the first movie, this one is less scary.

Unlike most of the horror movies shorter runtime, this one have the longest runtime, which is 169 minutes. If you are planning to watch this movie, be prepare for a long ride. If you have experience watching a three hours movie, I am sure you won't have problem watching this movie. Another flaw in this movie is the sub-plot. The sub-plot which involved Henry Bowers' revenge against the Losers Club does not contribute much to the plot and he does not have many scenes. I felt that this sub-plot should have been remove.

Overall, It Chapter 2 may not be as great as the first one but it still a good sequel and horror movie to enjoy. If you are a fan of Stephen King's works, you probably want to watch this movie to complete It duology. Having mentioned duology, I hope this is the final instalment because I do not think it is a good idea to adapt It novel into a trilogy as it will only ruin the original novel which at best can only adapt into a duology.… Expand

While the first movie achieves to find innovative and scary ways to represent what IT is, this new movie is limited to introducing us to IT as a character that has no idea what its role in history is, resorting to exaggerated jumpscares which makes the movie be just one more of the bunch.

I would have loved the movie being full focused on the horror theme of Pennywise, the comedy is recycled jokes that spoil the horror; I liked the movie, I watched it with my gf!

This movie is great and did not deserve its 56 rating. It tells the story amazingly, and its flash backs are great! Read the book it has way more flash backs, so metacritic read before you rate.

Yes, someCheap overused jumpscare tactics, overused suspense mechanics such as fake sound buildups or camera pointings. The scares are too predictable for me. Pennywise doesn't feel as threatening, the characters doesn't seem too terrified. Yes, some scenes are a little disgusting therefore they only delivered well in the weird and gross-outs, but not so great in both horror and terror.

Character development was dull, they aren't so likable like they did as a teen. Everyone was so gloomy and anxious throughout the film, not even a quality time spent with each other. Once a character tries to joke it turns out awkward and cringey. Oh, and the scenes are so hollywood cliche it hurts, the final showdown for example.

Pros huh? You get a better, cooler looking Pennywise, and **** just got real with this entity. A satisfying ending nonetheless.

Wasn't dissapointed and I'm glad I watched it rather then spending my entire life in curiosity. Sorry Warner Bros, it's a 4 from me, to Pennywise.… Expand

Even though the movie was almost 3h long it kept a good pacing and I was never bored. I know people say the movie was too long, but as a reader of the original book , I can confidently say that it’s not. It is a challenge in itself to summarize a 1200 page book in less than 5,5h of total movie time. In my opinion some important parts of the book were left out, like Henry almost killing Mike thus Mike has to go to a hospital and deal with Zombies from Pennywise . Then the rest of the Loosers Club building an engery-circle to give Mike power to defeat those Zombies. But all in all it was a great movie.

TheI came out of It Chapter Two feeling the same way I did about the adult portion of the novel. Which is to say...underwhelmed. I loved Chapter One, as I loved the portion of the novel that focuses on the characters when they were kids. The horror is heightened, and everything is new. I was never a big fan of the adult portion of the novel. I understood why it needed to be there, and I did think it was cool to read about how everyone's lives had progressed up to that point. The story itself, though, never hooked me like the childhood portion. The film is very much the same. I enjoyed seeing all of the characters reunite, but from that point on it is a rehash of Chapter One but with adults. The narrative is the same, and the finale is largely the same. The only difference is that it's not executed as well this time. It's messy, it's not scary, and it's far too long. It feels more like a generic horror film but with superior acting. I still enjoyed it for what it is, and I do look forward to watching a supercut of the two films (which they're bound to release). But, eh, this is not going to go down as one of my favorite films of the year.… Expand
