Too Long, Too Cheap...

Rating: 4/10 (17 October 2019)

First chapter was grounded, set a great scene and location. You felt like you were there in Derry with them. And Skarsgård scared the living out of many with his blinding performance as Pennywise.
The difference between the first and the second chapter is that Chapter Two takes a very cheap way out. Gone is the realness of decent horror-film making that seperated Chapter One from the rest because it stayed true to keeping it practical in the effects department. Use only CGI IF NEEDED..
Chapter two takes it the easy way out. By cheap i mean lazy routes. not expensive, because this WAS way more expensive to make because Chapter Two relies TOO MUCH on CGI. Skarsgård felt underused and backset in his role. And you got cheap and ineffective jump-scares that 99.9% of most horror movies fails with today.
Besides, it was two long, and felt dragged out with a mediocre ending (but that is okay because the Curry version ending sucked too)
The cast is stellar though. Hader is perfect as Richie, and he has a few fun bits too.
