Too much CGI

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2020)

I actually quite enjoyed this movie and I enjoy it as a two parter. I think the problem with this is the same as the 1990 adaption, the 2nd part is weaker than the first.
By no means is that a swipe at the acting or atmosphere of the movie, Bill Hader is tremendous as he always is, James McAvoy is awesome as Bill, Jessica Chastain is brilliant as are the others.
But what I find tiresome about this movie is the overuse of CGI, say what you want about the 1990 version but at least it was over reliant on cg. I felt for example Mrs Kersh was a lot scarier in the 1990 version because it was all practical. I'm not completely against CGI but when it is overused it just feels cheap.
I like this movie obviously I prefer chapter one but overall a good two parter.
