Uneven Chapters

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2019)

Well after waiting for two years... finally saw the movie. Definitely not as good as the first one. "IT Chapter II" is quite uneven and longer than it should be. Too much filler at times, spaces that could have been better used for character building. Also the humour doesn't always hit it's mark and the ahem...cameo of a certain auteur...was really unecessary...and self-serving.
The movie doesn't establish the adult characters and their lives and how they got to where they are. The cast is uneven as well and so are the performances. The children were much more enjoyable and entertaining to watch than their adult counterparts.
And now it's clear, even more so, Amy Adams should have been cast as the grownup version of Beverly Marsh (she and Sophia Lilis has already worked together on "Sharp Objects" on HBO).
But there is still enough to like, if not enjoy, in this movie not to make it a complete failure or outright flop.
5 out of 10
