Brilliant story and acting cheapened by overabundant jump scares and CGI

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2019)

Somewhat disappointed as this could have been a near perfect sequel, but it falls a bit short due to the aforementioned cheap jump scares and excessive CGI which distract from the great acting, writing and directing.
Still remains a very good film, worth a second watch even, as its intimidating length is actually fairly well used and doesn't feel overly draggy. And while Bill Hader's brilliant and unexpected portrayal of Richie is the stand out for me, the whole cast does a wonderful job as the grown-up Losers.
