Another failed ending....

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2020)

The ending to Stephen King's novel "IT" was awful and this movie made sure to follow the same path.
In this movie they poke fun at how bad the finale in King's novel actually was, not once but several times, in a not so subtle tongue in cheek manner, even by the King himself in a cameo role...so knowing this, the makers of this film then proceeded to make an ending that was actually worse than the novel's ending! Unbelievable!!!
The ending blatantly stole the climax to every lousy "possession" movie in existence..... non-believing skeptic goes their entire lives without believing in god and then in a matter of two seconds does an about face and believes in god and goodness and the evil is vanquished.
Same premise here but actually somehow worse....the whole gang is terrified of Pennywise but amazingly in a span of a few seconds their fear becomes strength and they come up with a last ditch effort to chant that he is small. He then magically shrinks down to the size of a small child and has no power left...
Why? It's chanting people...come on... the power of chanting....Ha!!
The rest of the movie is a 7 at best...probably a 5or 6 if I felt like being brutally honest...but Pennywise is cool right?
