great companion to the first one.

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2020)

I work at a movie theatre. My theatre played both ITS. I was a little disappointed that this one didn't get as high an attendance as the first one. I heard some people say they liked this one better because it was more character driven. Others said they like the first one better. Them being kids at the time, made it scarier. There are several flashbacks of them as kids encountering Pennywise and his terrifying antics in this second one too. Speaking of which Bill Skaarsgard is so impressive. Tim Curry was great, but Skaarsgard is even better. I think all characters were well cast. It was truly terrifying in places and there were some jump scenes that actually made me jump. All in all, it is a great companion to the first one.
