Unimpressed...

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 2019)

I really enjoyed the first IT movie - the kids' acting was refreshing and was balanced out with the humour and scares. I really enjoyed it however the sequel leaves a lot to be desired. I felt it was extremely (unnecessarily) violent - did we really need to see Jessica Chastain getting beat up so badly? And there was too much gore and not enough scares. And don't get me started on the unnecessary swearing. I'm not against swearing but it was overdone. The whole movie was overdone. I still enjoyed seeing Pennywise however the corpses felt dated as we have seen so much of that before. The kids were still really good in their scenes but the adults seemed almost unnecessary. I can't tell you what the ending was like as I was so bored we ended up walking out - the three hours is overkill. Anyway that's three hours I won't get back. I certainly won't be recommending this to anyone.
