Great

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2019)

While not quite as good as the first one, and having a disappointing final form for Pennywise, these aspects do not serve to detract from the overall quality and enjoyment I had while watching the film. The cast was outstanding, the direction superb, and, for the most part, the writing tight. With a few missteps towards the end keeping it from being as good as it could be, I still feel that this film does justice to Stephen King's book, and even improves the ending of said book in some cases. Overall, I recommend seeing it
as, even though it doesn't quite reach the bar the first film set, it does manage to be an emotional and deep character study that engages to the end.
