The 'Losers' adults were a huge h-IT!

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2019)

Chapter 2, oh, I honestly can't fault it in anyway! Although, be ready to be in it for the long haul as this movie nearly hits a 3 hour running time. I can't get over how accurate the casting was for the adult 'Losers' they were all SO alike to their younger selves, and the chemistry between them all was truly believable. I loved the whole childhood friendship nostalgia through this, there were plenty of flashbacks given. Bill Hader, who played an older 'Richie' was a pure delight to watch, he thoroughly absorbed his character; The cinema was rocking with laughter at his snide remarks & comebacks. James McAvoy (the magnificent role playing actor that he is) who portrayed 'Bill' was also very believable; he nailed the personality traits so perfectly to his younger self. I feel that chapter two gave us a lot more information & insight into IT'S origins, aswell as the grown up losers did. I personally saw a darker depth to the story telling in this one. IT was certainly a rollercoaster experience, many moments of laughter, fear & tears (believe it or not, I welled up a few times!) The CGI & visual effects were impressive, even when IT shape-shifted, though I was fully aware it was computerised at times, it still scared the hell out of me, and I'm not really a jumpy person. Although I've read a few reviews stating that IT himself didn't get much screen time, I personally don't agree on this, I genuinely believe he had just the right amount. Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd as IT honestly made my skin crawl, the casting team have seriously won the jack pot when it comes to him.
