Too much CGI and too long

Rating: 6/10 (22 September 2019)

IT Chapter 1 was one of the best adapations of Stephen King novels. I loved the Chapter 1 and was looking forward to the second installment. The Chapter 2 disappointed me in a big way. The CGI which was effectively used yo induce scare in Chapter 1 was over done here. At moments it looked more funny and childish than scary. May be the makers meant it that way. I dont know. But it made the movie longer than it should have been and took away the dark vibe. Its sad because the other attributes of the movie like losers club getting back to derry, IT's origin, the flashback scenes, the climax all were well made. Chapter 1 was an 8.5* for me and Chapter 2 a 6*. Wish the people behind the film focused less on CGI and trimmed the movie by around 30 mins.
