Good but long

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2019)

6 of the 7 members of the Losers Club which defeated It have left Derry and, in the course of 27, have found success but forgotten their childhood trauma. Mike Hanlon remained behind however, and when the child murders start up again, he contacts his old friends to remind them of the blood vow they made when they were kids.
Part 1, which told the story of the kids getting together and defeating It (as manifested in the form of creepy Pennywise the clown) was very successful, Chapter 2 completes the story. The climax takes some liberties with the book. To be frank, I found the climax of the book to be somewhat lacking, and the film recognises this criticism and has some fun with hit with, one assumes, Stephen King's approval, given that he cameos in the film.
That's about it, really. The cast are moderate adult representations of their younger incarnations (Bill Hader is wonderful as Richie Tozier), there is a surprising amount of humour, the kids also appear (digitally de-aged) and the film incarnation of monster-It as appreciably better than the book or TV miniseries version.
Watching both movies will consume 5 hours of your life, so plan carefully.
