A decent sequel that was overstuffed, predictable, and a trailer that spoiled some of the best scenes.

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2019)

After seeing the first movie I was already worried about how this one would go. Not saying the first one was bad but it wasn't very scary to me at all and the tone was all over the place with a lot of moments that were a "scary scene" that would go right into a laughing fun scene. The second installment is pretty much the same but less scary, bad CGI monsters, and very predictable. All the characters go off on their own and you already know they are all going to have a penny wise encounter before all meeting up to go defeat him. Not only are these scenes repetitive, but also just not really scary at all. There are some side plots that add absolutely nothing like the return of Henry Bowers. I know it sounds like I'm just trashing this movie but it just could have been a lot better and they could have used Bill Skarsgard more who is a great penny wise and really created the stuff of nightmares instead of scenes that were almost laughable.
