It ... concludes

Rating: 8/10 (25 September 2019)

Now there are talks about an even bigger overall cut (the second movie is almost 3 hours as it is), so I can't talk about that right now of course, but I for one am looking forward to that, if it comes to fruition. Having said that and from what I remember from the 90s "It", this was consistent! I liked the first chapter and I really like what they did with this one too.
There may be things in the book that are still not included (some being a bit too adult or even sick from what I've heard), but this is quite extensive. And while this is quite predictable to some extent, it still manages to scare and entertain at the same time. This is not hardcore horror and I acknowledge that some may feel cheated, but if you can just watch it for what it sets out to do, you may be thoroughly entertained
