It Chapter Two ðŸ¤¡

Rating: 6/10 (17 September 2019)

I'm not a big fan of these movies, but they're entertaining and scary, and fun to watch in the theater. This was so long that I will never watch it again. I thought the whole friendship thing was melodramatic and corny in both films. The main reason to watch is to have a laugh and a scare.
Bill Hader was an excellent casting choice. He brings the comic relief that hits 90+% of the time. It satisfies the curiosity of the casual viewer (with no previous knowledge of the material) by revealing that It was actually an alien that feeds on fear and children (apparently both seem important). Though, too little detailed info is given for a sci fi designation. Apparently the history only goes back to the 1800s, but the alien has been there millions of years? I liked It & It 2, not for a cerebral plot or cheesy bonding between friends. I liked It for the clown, which is of course the best part. He's creepy, he's mesmerizing, and also somehow hilarious. Thankfully, I've never understood the fear of clowns (or clowns at all really), so there's no nightmares from this. But, it's not really that kind of scary movie. My favorite part, personally was the old lady scurrying naked in the hallway, and it demonstrates what's morbidly entertaining about these films. They're funny and scary at the same time. I only wish it didn't have such a downer ending ;)
