Better than the TV movie ending but still disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2019)

The long awaited chapter 2 fails to deliver expectation. I think what it lacks from chapter 1 are 2 things:
1. Having the main characters as adults somehow looses the appeal and sympathy for them.
2. The jump scares are over used. Pennywise is a sinister villain but sometimes particularly with horror less is more and this is a classic example. The sinister pennywise from part 1 is now a parody of himself in part 2.
Whilst this is an improvement on the TV movie it is still overlong and I feel anticlimactic.
