Seriously, why is this movie so damn long?

Not as worthy as the first outing. Movie length and wishy-washy pacing puts me off. Started to feel Pennywise overstaying his welcome by the second act. As good as the grown up casting, but they don't stick the landing on a whole.

Didn't like it as much as the first film. Somehow it's funnier and not scarier than before.

It Chapter Two (2019)

It is no secret, I liked the 2017 IT.

Casting, Sets and direction were spot on!

So, how does the second one fare?

Well, casting is great. Apart from Bill (James McAvoy), the other adult casts do look like their younger counterpart.

James Ransone really capture his younger counterpart mannerism. Kudos

The direction and cinematography started great. Shots were well planned and followed on well with what was done in the first movie.

Story-wise... it suffers a little.

And I blame the source material.

This movie suffers the same issue I had with the book.

The cutting back and forth between the past and present, made the flow of the movie a little clunky at times.

I am also not sure if they shot the kids bits during the first episode, because they look the same as when they were in the first movie (eg. kids grow up so quickly)

I did guess Richie Tozier's secret and I have to admit, I got the subject wrong.... Am I making sense?

So, overall, great movie.

Would have been better if there are more scary.

As per usual, the above is my two sen.

I don't know why so much hate for the 2nd chapter of this movie.

Tbh, I enjoyed it a lot compared to first chapter. Alot of my friends that watched the 1st chapter, they said it's boring.

Beware for the 2nd chapter, not suitable for weak heart.

Banyak scene terkejut tak henti henti. I can't sit properly due to this.

I feel more satisfied watching the 2nd chapter compared to first one.

My rating 4/5.

already watch it . in terms of the creativity on the scary part is something unique .. thou theres some issues on certain characters that like bowers and his friend . dunno what is actually his friend is . a zombie or else ..

As with majority of King's books, his third act usually spiral into mumbo jumbo territory. On the pages, the effect not that pronounce but on a visual medium, it's jarring and messy.

Agreed. They didnt explained details on how Bowers and his friends become like that. This is the part I don't really understand

Remember that one scene from the IT 2017 film (where Billy found Georgie's raincoat at the end) that made you bawled your eyes out? Despite its flaws, it managed to deliver a solid story and that sweet emotional payoff in the end.

Replace the above with messy plot, a little too much levity and little emotional payoff, and you get this film.

3/5 from me

definitely a downgrade for me.

....uhhh maybe they could step up the scale a bit?

For all the talk of the clown as the eater of worlds, they should make it even more threat.

Why do i feel like it's a same old shit?

Pennywise, the eater of worlds...MEH.

At least Stranger Things stepped up every season for bigger threat.

6/10 for me.
