Flashback Galore

Rating: 6/10 (6 September 2019)

Okay so I loved the first film, i gave it a 10/10. I'm not normally into horror films because of the generic jump scares and so on but IT is exception.
So to bascially sum up chapter 2, well it plays a lot on the first film, i would say a good 1 hour & 30 mins are just flashbacks to the first film, yes they are revelent scenes to get their items that they need to sacrifice to do the ritual. BUT that does not make a good movie imo, because in between the almost 3 hour run time, you get Pennywise kinda scaring the cast here & there, the scary things that appear this time are more funny than scary according to everyone in the cinema I was in at the time.
Then towards the end we are greeted with Pennywise's "real" form, some spider looking thing which wasn't really gripping imo, but the way they defeated Pennywise was interesting, ill leave that spoiler out :)
Yes there is still a great sense of humour in the film which I think we all love, the banter is still there from all the cast. BUT I do prefer them as a young cast personally, I think it just worked better BUT I understand that the films followed the books so I can't really moan about that.
All in all i understand some of my points might seem silly because they have to follow the books but hey, it's my view on this film
Overall though i would not watch this one again but have happily watched IT 1 numerous times now & still love it.
