Not scary, too long

Rating: 4/10 (5 January 2020)

I am a huge fan off all things IT, but this didn't do it for me
One thing I have noticed is how people criticize the middle act. And while the middle act is the same thing six different times, I can kind of forgive it because that is the way it is done in the book.
The movie is very foul f-bombs are dropped every minute in the movie, for no reason. The movie also has a healthy amount of blood and gore, again for no reason.
Pennywise is never scary. The overuse of CGI is more prevalent in this movie than in Chapter One. It goes beyond the point of scary, it just looks stupid and laughable. You don't need CGI to make a movie scary(cough, John Carpenter's Halloween, cough)
And finally, any tension the movie builds is broken by Richie, who is always joking around. While this happens in the book, the tension the book builds is not really broken.
