The fat kid has to...

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2019)

... get rich and grow a six pack to get the girl. What kind of message is that?
What made part 1 lovable was the story of the losers club. It took time to develop each character and felt like a kids movie at times. Also it wasnt just jump scares, but was really creepy at times as well.
Part 2 now is a whole different story. Even though calling it a story is wildly exaggerated, because really there is none and it is little more than a couple of scenes thrown together that serve as build up for jump scares.
I watched the movie with a female friend and she predicted every jump scare and was able to cover her eyes with her hands at the right time.
At some point the losers discuss they should not split up - the single dumbest thing people in horror movies always do, even though no one in their right mind would actually do that. Disappointing: one of them says "we have to split up" - no further explanation, no questions asked, and of course they do split up.
Plot holes - theres many of them. Of course part 1 had a couple as well, but it was a lovable movie, so the viewer could forgive that. Part 2 though is a hot mess.
Not a plot hole, but has anyone noticed that eddys band aid is on the wrong side of his face when the losers go down into the sewers? Though not a big deal, i am still always amazed how things like this happen in big budget productions.
And speaking of big budget, how did they mess up the cgi this bad? Even the clown looks ridiculous most of the time. The scene in the mirror cabinet, when his tongue is hangig out, might as well have been generated in snapchat app - it is that bad. And unfortunately it is exemplary for many more scenes to come.
Well anywho, in conclusion It part 2 really isnt a movie that has a well built up story. Its rather a juxtaposition of isolated scenes that serve as built up for jump scares and as that it is totally different from the well made part 1 and a huge disappointment.
