I can see why Stephen King would like this movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2019)

This film is considerably faithful to the book. The book-readers will appreciate all the call-backs and Easter eggs. Regardless of whether you read the book, it aims to be an epic 2 hour 49 minute sequel and I think it succeeds in concluding the story in the best possible way.
I can't get over the casting of the adult Losers. MacAvoy and Hader are highlights but I feel bad to single them out because each adult Loser has enough time to shine in this movie. The way that they combine and transition between the adult Losers and younger Losers stories is imaculate every time.
What makes this film scary, is that you can almost except the younger Losers to be afraid of what they encountered, but to see the adult Losers' reaction to Pennywise makes this film as immersive as It: Chapter One as well as adding something that Chapter One did not have.
I do think that it tries a little bit harder to have a comedy side to it, but these moments are genuinely funny.
