Fails to scare or entertain

Rating: 4/10 (6 September 2019)

The first hour was mostly ok, casting was spot on, they all had great chemistry together. Though the first scene was nonsensical in the story of Pennywise from what the first film established. However the last 90+ mins just dragged on and on, with my partner and I almost falling asleep. Firstly they should've minimised flashbacks, instead they dedicated long sequences that added nothing. Pennywise was laughable and not scary in the slightest. The plot was so boring it felt like it was ripped from a bad 90s horror movie and the way Pennywise was ultimately defeated had me cringing.
