Shhhh IT Chapter 2

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2019)

SIGH from me.
If Im gonna be honest, my hopes weren't high. I liked elements of the first film, but thought overall it was flawed. So did I go into this one with negative eyes, perhaps, but I really did give it a clean slate, hoping that it would better its predecessor. Was it? Nope. It was way worse.
This one doesn't even start well for me. Zero suspense for Pennywise's return. No story for the adult loser club members re the realisation that IT has returned. No pace or suspense at all, this one goes at comic book pace, which is particular disengaging given that the film is an unjustifiable 3 hours long!
It is literally 3 hours of OTT, CGI sequences, with wholly unscary IT ghosts and monsters, that just like the first film, stalk the loser club, and again, just like the first, Pennywise never kills them, even though he could easily.
Mr King, why is that? Why can Pennywise only kill the b characters? Why does he always wait for the loser club to find away to defeat him, when he like has million occasions to kill them? Bit silly that from the clown, then again BIT SILLY would kinda summed up the review in two words.
