Glad I saw it but wouldn't watch again

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2019)

Coming off from seeing It Chapter 1 I was pretty siked about Chapter 2. Chapter 1 wasn't that great but it still was a good solid movie. Where Chapter 1 failed was with the cheap jumpscares rather than having more psychological horror. Well It Chapter 2 was an overall disappointing finale. Granted it still had it moments like pennywise killing the gay person and killing the little girl that made me want a movie about pennywise just going around killing kids it still failed to keep me fully interested in this endgame of a story. It Chapter 2 wastes alot of time with the Henry Bowers story that could've been taken out completely as it served no purpose at all in the movie. I also felt this in the first one as he was very under utilized and could've had a bigger purpose in both films instead of an obstacle that goes away quickly. I was also not a fan of the middle portion of the film as it felt very predictable and not that entertaining. I really didn't understand why "Angel of The Morning" played while Eddie was getting vomited on as it felt like I was watching a Deadpool movie and not a horror psychological thriller. I did like the relationship between Richie and Eddie. Having them be insecure about their feelings for each other made Eddie's death more tragic and allowed you reevaluate how they acted toward each other. Overall I felt as if they saw that people liked the comedy in the first one so they doubled down on it in this one which was ok I just wish we had more scenes like the girl under the bleachers getting baited by pennywise. Stuff like that is creepy and more scary then some CGI clown shaking towards you. I believe they should've waited another year or two to put this out as the CGI was not the best and the script could've used some more work as well. Also cast was amazing of course. Good finale to It but I guess we'll wait another 27 years for a better remake.
