A fun sequel that isn't as good as the first

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2019)

It Chapter Two is a fun sequel is by no means a great film. The film suffers from pacing issues, plot lines that don't really go anywhere, an over reliance on cgi creatures at times and many scares that are more silly than scary.
However, there is still a lot of fun to have with this fun, for example: the opening scene, while gruelling and disturbing, is extremely effective and creepy, the characters and casting, for the most part, are on point, many scenes can be creepy and it was interesting to see the writers include some lore from the books.
It Chapter Two is a strange balance of scenes that aren't scary or effective and scenes that are, however the scenes that aren't are still very enjoyable and make for a good laugh. Although it has its short comings, I'd still recommend IT chapter two, as it's a fun and enjoyable horror film and is genuinely filled with passion from the filmmakers.
