Don't listen to the "critics" (or at least most of them)

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2019)

A very solid, enjoyable movie. About as scary as the first one but definitely more brutal and violent. Acting was generally superb especially McAvoy, Chastain, Hader and Skarsgard. Cinematography was also very impressive. Definitely wasn't TOO long, although the ending did drag on a little bit at times. A bit too much CGI for my taste as it can detract from the realism of the moment making it less intense (even though the quality of the CGI was pretty high). Not a massive fan of the ending ;) but that's probably more a problem with the novel than with the movie. Would definitely see it in cinemas again (if I wasn't a somewhat broke student).
