IT wasn't what it could have been!

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2019)

Saw IT: Chapter Two this afternoon and I certainly hoped for better. It wasn't bad, per se, but it lacked the flow and the charm of the 1st movie. It felt like it didn't quite know what it wanted to be. The acting was good, and Isaiah Mustafa deserves extra cred for turning in a performance that was actually better than the more veteran actors. Of course Bill Skarsgård did another awesome job as Pennywise, though I thought he was under utilized throughout the film.
The climax was rather anti-climatic, and really not suspenseful or exciting. It tried to explain 'IT's' origins, which was rather lame and unnecessary, but it never showed how it tied to Pennywise.
In short, it was okay at best, but nowhere on par with the first movie.
