"IT" happens...

Rating: 6/10 (6 September 2019)

Just got out of the theatre after seeing IT Chapter 2. This movie unfortunately felt a lot like the book, which if anyone's heard anything about the book, they know some things work and some things don't.
There are numerous scenes that would have elevated the film if there was no jump scares or have scary scenes be immediately followed by a zinger by adult Richie.
The tone in the first one felt a little disjointed at times but it over all had one tone: spooky. I can't really say the same for this film.
That's not to say this movie is a huge disappointment, the cast is excellent across the board, especially Bill Skarsgaurd, who was great as usual. There's one scene in paticular that I personally think was more intense than the Georgie scene in the first one (really well done). However, this scene can't carry the amount of okayness in this film.
There's a running gag in the film that involves adult Bill and how he's a writer, one of his books was apparently great until the end. If you look at both IT 1 and 2, the ending was the worst part.
