Good but no where near as great a Chapter One

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2019)

I didn't go in watching this movie with huge expectations, because let's face it, Movies of this era aren't nearly as great as they were a decade ago.
But I did keep my hopes up since the First Chapter was awesome.
While I've never read the book fully. I haven't gotten the cliff notes version, which is good enough for me, because there are things that I could NOT stomach that's in the book.
The group, the Losers were portrayed by some really perfect actors. James Mcavoy and Bill Hader are the best in the movie. But as whole the cast was good. They did justice to their roles.
Bill was perfect for Richie and he held his own against the others. But I really thought the role of Eddie was beyond perfect! James Ransone did a far superior job than his predecessor. And I actually cried when he died.
I felt their adult connection but no where near as much as their child selves.
But as far as pacing and scenes, it felt slow and fast at the same time. Weird right!? I was hoping they'd have different scenes but alas they weren't in the movie. Some scenes felt choppy and odd.
Don't go looking for a perfect masterpiece but it is good enough to hold up against the original.
