It Chapter 2 review

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2019)

It was good, but not as nearly good as its predecessor. It mostly suffered from pacing issues and characterization. Sometimes, there were scenes that were supposed to be scary but they turned out to be really ridiculous and outlandish. Unlike its predecessor, they didn't really know how to utilize the CGI in the movie, and as a result, it looked a bit fake at certain scenes. In addition to that, the movie was a bit too long.
Of course, there were some good things in it as well, such as Pennywise himself. Most of the adult cast gave solid performances. Bill Hader as old Richie Toizer was good. Sometimes there were unsettling scenes, though they weren't that scary.
Verdict: despite its mixed reviews, and some issues here and there. It Chapter 2 did a pretty solid closure to the franchise. It has some interesting ideas to bring the table, though it could have been executed a bit better.
Final score: 7 out of 10
