Weekly Movie Review: IT Chapter 2 (2019)


If you’re gonna watch IT Chapter 2, get cozy cause it’s 3 hours long. It had some more Pennywise, which was nice cause he was kind of absent in the first movie, at least from a dialogue standpoint and I think that’s one of the strongest parts of these films. So good job of making more one on one dialogue happen. But yeah, definitely too long. They could’ve gotten that movie done in 2 hours or less, easy. I also didn’t care for the main character essentially playing Stephen King, jabbing at his friends and audience for his notoriously bad endings. Without any spoilers, this ending is no different. Flashbacks to childhood were cool, but slightly overused. Scares were kind of silly and one-dimensional (lots of loud, bassy booms, chasing, and almost cartoony kind of animations), and not as scary as the awesome old lady trailer made it out to be. Go watch it on discount day and keep your expectations low; the cast is at least enjoyable and works cohesively.

5.5/10
