Overlong, Moronic Rubbish, Give It A Miss

Rating: 1/10 (7 September 2019)

IT 2
At 169 minutes it was just too long, after careful consideration as to where to cut this I arrived at the formed viewpoint I could cut out the whole 169 minutes and stay at home instead as this really was a rambling dogs breakfast of a movie.
What was wrong, almost everything, this is deeply disappointing after IT 1 which was a great coming of age movie with horror thrown in.
1, where was the story, Pennywise back, group return and try to destroy him, that's it.
2, the significance of memory, I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday let alone 27 years ago, hardly a revelation then they have forgotten stuff.
3, collecting tokens, this just created a series of cameos, at best a contrivance at worst episodic nonsense.
4, no character development at all, the director was obsessed that we were able to recognise which adult the child had grown into, perhaps colour coding or a label would have worked better.
5, no internal motivation for Pennywise, why come back, why be evil, why kill, why this group of children, why Derry etc etc
6, the actors whilst proficient did not gel, I guess this was the tripe of a script and the nonsensical direction against the CGI backdrop.
What was good
NOTHING, don't bother with this banal, overlong, incoherent rubbish.
