Overly long, boring and dull

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2020)

First off, this is not a terrible movie. But a very mediocre one. There are great scenes in the movie for sure, but the lack of a story and the terrible endingdestroy every potentialy intersting concept. Atleast 90 min of this movie are the lossers club just running though the city and having flashbacks. The flashbacks are great scenes on their own, but most of the times add nothing to the story and are not scary, because we know the Charakter will live on. For me the first movie could also be seen as a commentary on bullying and how it affects children. In this movie they defeat pennywise, by bullying him to death. So the massage now is: dont let yourself be bullied, but become the bully. Which i dont agree with. If the cut out about 70 min of this movie it might have been pretty solid. But it drags so much i just felt bored.
