Awesome sequel in my opinion

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2019)

This movie really surprised me with how well made it was. Bill Skarsgård is awesome as always and I´m proud to be Swedish after watching his acting in both the first and second movie. It was a bit much CGI effects and I also thought the way of taking IT down was kind of weird. The fact that they "made him small" by kind of calling him weak and "just a clown" is in my opinion not that strong. I haven´t read the book though which I for sure will after watching these two movies. Kudos to all the actors also which all did amazing performances. For me this movie was intense and the length of it only did it a favor in my opinion. It didn´t feel stretched out and everything was well made. The factors bringing it down is though, as I´ve already mentioned, some plot related stuff and also the overuse of CGI in some points, I wanted to see more of Pennywise and just witnessing Skarsgård doing his thing, but, overall, it was a well made movie and it affected me just as a scary movie should. Also, the scenes with Bev and her dad was very intense, just as in the first movie. The movie had a way of always keeping you on the edge of your chair, which is important for me while I´m watching a scary movie.
TL;DR: 8/10, great story and actors, as well as nice monsters and ways of fearing the viewer. A bit too much CGI effects and some questionable decisions regarding the plot.
