Thrilling and Chilling

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2019)

Ever since the first "It" movie, I have been eagerly waiting for chapter two. I saw the movie opening day and was not disappointed. The casting and chemistry between adults are phenomenal. The adult cast made me believe that they were the kids twenty-seven years later because of their uncanny similarities physically and personality-wise. The special effects and CGI also shaped the film to be exceptionally lifelike and believable, especially in horror scenes. Despite the length of the movie, I never felt bored because the movie was fast-paced and kept me interested. Of course, Bill Hader's comedic lines aided in that regard as well. Furthermore, Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd's performance was exceptional as per usual. I enjoyed every part of this film. The only downsides from my viewpoint were that the movie failed to give a proper recap of the first movie. Therefore for people, like myself, who have not watched the film in two years may feel lost in the beginning, especially during the introduction of the adult characters. Overall, the two "It" films complement each other very well yet are each fantastic in their unique way. Without a doubt, "It Chapter Two" is a horror movie classic.
