What's the point of making a nearly 3-hour-long movie if only the last 20 minutes deliver

Rating: 5/10 (15 September 2019)

Compared to the first movie, this one is a letdown for sure. I expected it to be even more groundbreaking than Chapter One, instead we got a sloppy script for the most of the film, and it's only the ending that stopped me from giving it 3 out of 10. Having said that, I don't mean the ending was phenomenal, no. It's simply way better than the first 2 acts which are pure snooze fest, the jokes were completely unnecessary and gratuitous here and made it look like an amateur writing, no offence. It wasn't scary even for a second, instead it was overly loud with of plenty poorly executed jump-scare efforts. It's like they shot the first 140 minutes in a rush, put it together, realized it doesn't look good and decided to work hard on the ending. I just can't believe it, guys. I've been waiting for Chapter 2 for so long, and you nearly ruined it. What the hell went wrong? Didn't you read the script before shooting?
