Great finale to one of the greatest horror novels of all time !

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2019)

IT Chapter 2 captures the spirit of the book rather well and for most of it I felt really happy with the direction production team took. Certain important aspects of the book have not been explored or just briefly touched upon but overall I did enjoy it. I liked it much more than first movie, it is not that I disliked the first movie but I did not find it particularly scary, the setting and production values were top notch. Second movie is such as improvement over the first part. From the first moment you can see that they had bigger budget to play with.
So the story continues when kids start disappearing fom Derry again, there are more murders, killer Clown is back, after many years of hibernation he got his strengths back. He is ready to take revenge on Losers Club who once almost killed It. You do not mess with devour of the worlds and think that there will not be consequences. The oath once took will have to be honored.
Mike who stayed in Derry to research this extraordinary town was first to realize what is going on. He was not under the spell of the evil so as a guardian of the oath, called all the members of the Losers club. As we remember from the book some took it worse than others but this oath cannot be broken and the Losers clubs is once more reunited to face ancient evil.
Speaking about the cast I was not initially entirely sure about cast of the movie, Bill in particular. His character as far as I can remember was bold in the book also role of his wife was far more important. Some other side characters important to the book were not properly fleshed out in this adaption. I understand it though, director wanted to focus on different aspects of the book. I can say that I was wrong and my original feeling about the cast was completely unjustified. All of the adult actors did a really good job, Bill's appearance aside, McAwoy felt the role and gave a good performance. He did not feel like a leader to me, he felt kinda lost but in the end he pulled it off in the end. He is a good actor. We also got to see Henry Bower once again. His part within the movie is fairly accurate to the source material. Really impressive job.
I was also really happy to see Mr King in the movie, he acted really well, fit bizarre town just perfect.

Special effects, music, production values were really good. The clown was scary as always and there were few scenes which really superbly gave evil and vicious character of the clown. Bill Skarsgard really pulled it out, yet again he showed that he fully understands what is it to be demonic-killing machine. The way he moved, delivered his lines, it was very good acting.
Bill Hader was funny as Richie, there was genuine chemistry between him and the rest of the cast. Jen Ryan playing Ben was just as I imagined this character to be. Successful, reserved but still kind and well just awesome. He is back and this time he will conquer Jessica Chastein's heart. Eddie is played by James Ransone. He does really look like adult version of his younger self. Younger cast once again shines on the screen.
Although it is really hard to recommend this movie to anyone who has not read the book as quite simply they will feel lost and confused I could easily recommend this movie, it is a good adaptation and a very effective finale to one of the greatest Stephen King's classics.
