Borderline as bad as IT (1990)

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2019)

There's not even characters in this movie honestly... just people doing reactions or interacting with things happening.
The Richie character doesn't have any traits other than he yells and gets scared... it establishes that he's a comedian early on in the film, but that's not even a character trait at all because it doesn't lead to anything or contribute in anyway other than he says "jokes" so the audience doesn't get bored.
This is literally just "events happen: the movie", AKA
1. All the grown ups meet up.
2. They plan against Pennywise with a ritual.
3. They find the items for the ritual (filler).
4. They confront Pennywise with the ritual.
The only other thing that happens outside of these 4 events is the forced romance between Beverly and "Fat Boy" but you could literally edit this out of the movie and it would make no difference, this movie could be edited down to 60-90 mins but instead it's a 3 hour mess.
Both IT: Chapters were only made because nostalgia for the terribly dated 1990 IT, name recognition with Stephen King, and that being scared of clowns is a new trend/cool?
Imagine thinking you were quirky or relatable because you're scared of clowns, but then also you buy tickets from multi billion movie companies that make the "scary clown movie"
