It lives up to the hype

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2019)

With the 2nd one coming out this year I decided to watch knowing all my mates want to go and watch it. And I have to be honest, it did not disappoint.
Positives: There's a good amount of the "scare factor" and also a great amount of action, (Especially the final scenes), characters are extremely likeable, which is something you don't often get in horror movies and the acting from both Pennywise and the kids are surprisingly good.
Negatives: 2 hours 10 mins seems a little excessive for a horror film and the director had a few chiche moments which really annoyed me (falling over when running or dropping something important or separating from the group)...
Overall the negatives do not take away from how good this film is and I really do recommend if you haven't watched it yet! With such a lack of good horror movies about, it's a must watch. 8/10.
