IT Chapter 2 provides solid acting performances but Fails to Stick Perfect Ending

Rating: 7/10 (11 September 2019)

Compared to all other Horror movies of this era, IT Chapter 2 provides some very impressive acting performances (notably Bill Hader & James Ransone). The story however, not so much.
The first 100 minutes are spent mostly on reliving the past rather than developing the present. The only thing that keeps the audience intrigued are the jump scares. The rest is mildly entertaining and provides a very forgettable plot. So it is a 7/10 as strong casting made a huge difference in the final presentation.
But putting it in the realm of Horror Movies, I'd give it a solid 9/10 because at the end of the day the IT franchise grasps audiences in such a way that almost 95% of horror movies fail to achieve in today's industry.
