Movie #2
It: Chapter Two (2019)
I've seen this movie twice now and I'm still not quite sure to make of it. Parts of it are fun and effectively creepy, but as a whole, it's a bit disappointing imo. I think this film is great at showing that bigger does not always equal better. It feels like the filmmakers were more concerned with one-upping the first film than actually continuing and concluding the story in a very satisfying and engaging way. The characters, the drama and - most disappointingly - the scares just don't pull me in like the first film did. And the film is so long and drags so much, especially in the final act. It feels like there's a lot that could have been cut to make a more compact and entertaining film. I'm glad I saw it, but it feels like a film that could have benefited from a few rewrites. Overall decent, if a bit underwhelming.
I want to give it 2 and a half skulls, but idk how to so 3 will suffice for now.
Final rating:
Iβve seen it twice in theaters now and feel the same way.
Even though I think the three hours flew by both times, thereβs just something missing from it.
The first film was special and this one seems to ride on the success of the first more than anything else.
Itβs fine, albeit slightly disappointing.
That being said, Iβd watch it again.
My post probably seemed negative but I liked it enough to go back to the theater to see it with friends. There's a lot to like about it and I would recommend seeing it if you enjoyed the first. But it just didn't seem as strong as the first and it was hard for me to place why.Iβve seen it twice in theaters now and feel the same way.
