Not bad but... nobody mentions the horroble horrible ending?

Rating: 6/10 (6 September 2019)

Actually the film is not bad at all. Some typical horror moments, good casting and acting. But the movie is a tat long. Still for most part it does justice to Stephen King's novel. And that's an accomplishment on its own.
I don't mind when movies are changing parts of a book. And sometimes it works better for a movie to adjust the storyline. Same goes with this movie. But what really really bothers me is the ending. Don't worry, no spoilers, but this is the dumbest ending I've seen in a decade. It's so simplistic and unconvincing, it's almost the ending of a child's movie. My wife called it 'Typical Hollywood dumbness' and it's a shame as It deserved better.
Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd actually did a better job as Pennywise than in the first movie and some scenes are certainly gruweling. But it never becomes scarrier, or more visual stunning than any of the other Hollywood horror movies of this century. Making it just an average movie. That said, with a better ending it would have received one more star in my personal rating.
In the end it's not a movie you MUST see, but I am sure you won't be (too much) disappointed when it's done.
