So disappointing... all special effects, no plot

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2019)

Sigh.... This movie is the perfect example of why I'm increasingly giving up on Hollywood, and turning to indie films that actually tell a good story. We eagerly awaited IT 2 for well over a year, expecting a sequel that would be on par with the first part, and we were grossly disappointed. Yet another example of Hollywood catering to the lowest common denominator with graphics and gratuitous violence, instead of producing a good story, which the story of 'It' really is. Very, very surprised that Stephen King himself agreed to be in a cameo for this terrible rendition of his novel. In the end, I guess it's all about $$$$ in mainstream filmmaking, which is sad. I hope that sooner rather than later, Hollywood will finally catch on to the fact that intelligent people - people with $ to spend, you know - go to the movies for quality filmmaking, not for CGI garbage. So very disappointed with IT 2.
