I get why they focused on the flashbacks of the kids in 1 because they were great but it made u want to see the kids finish off penny not the adults. The time they spent on the kids they shouldve focused on how fukked up they were after derry instead of all of them successful n shyt cause then whats really the point going back if u have no demons to face?

It fet like he was no threat to the losers just a 3 hour troll fest so im glad we got to see him body other people instead of more illusions

 

[Lootpack]

Yeah I just got out of my screening. I need to let this one marinate.

Spoiler

Homie really got stabbed in the cheek and they play it off with a comedic bit

I enjoyed it overall

didn't like how they killed Pennywise

Spoiler

spent the first movie running from bullies only to kill Pennywise simply by bullying him

Watching it tonight at almost 11pm brehs

I'm gonna be

Surprisingly I didn't fall asleep in my viewing

 

[Lootpack]

Aww, man. I really wanted this to be better than it was. It wasn't really scary. I kinda knew that it couldn't be based on the first one, which wasn't very scary either, but I think I was still hoping it would be scarier. I also think it could have been edited a bit tighter. It was a little rambly and long and towards the middle I could feel the length of it. I will say though, that if you are a loyal fan of the book and this universe King created, this movie offers a real deep dive into (most of) the kids and their fears. I say most, because once again, I feel like they short changed Mike Hanlon. Even though he's the one who makes the call to bring the others back home and he's the one taking more of a leadership role here, the film never really go into his background and fears the way they do with the others. He gets like a 5 minute scene covering his background and that's it. It's just so frustrating since he's the only black character. I'm getting sick of this kind of diversity on film, where black people are there, but they're not given the same depth and introspection that everyone is.

Anyway, Pennywise does do some crazy shyt in this one, and some of it is wild and cool, but after awhile, he doesn't feel like a real threat anymore. Also, some of the CGI is wonky and so cartoonish it's hard to take seriously, which is not what you want in your horror film. There were a few scenes that were especially shocking and one of them had nothing to do with Pennywise.

Spoiler

There is a homophobic beat down so fukking brutal it was hard to watch. I really thought they were gonna get stomped to death in the street. I actually think that scene was more horrifying than what took place after with Pennywise.

Anyway, I liked it, but I didn't love it. I'm still glad we got to see a different retelling of this story, and I liked some of the changes they made to the book, I just wanted it to be a lot more scary and tighter. They kinda warn you throughout that it's destined to disappoint by using Bill's career as an author to joke about bad endings. This wasn't a bad ending, just a disappointing one.

6.5 out of 10

Those first two words were exactly what was going through my head during the final scene.

Spoiler: Spoiler

The clown is back in true form. And he's a menace.

Snacking on little kids early reminds you that he ain't no punk. But the scariest thing about this dude is how he was roasting everybody.

I swear he called ole boy a fat slob at every opportunity.

There wasn't a "Is this real enough for you Billie!" moment. But the way he was talking to these folks was beyond disrespectful.

"Tell them Mike. It's all a Gazebo."

 

[DosCadenaz]

This movie was dope! Liked it more than the first

 

[TheGodling]

I think I know what scene you’re referring to

Spoiler

in the pharmacy basement where the leper pukes on his face and Angel of the Morning starts playing?

I do kind’ve Agree with your point, although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t laugh at another comedic moment after a scare

Spoiler

when Eddie stabs Bowers in the chest and tells him to cut his mullet, that shyt was hilarious

When that first scene happened my face definitely stuck itself firmly into mode and never changed back. Literally everything about it was not only embarrassing but also so amateuristically done that I just finally let go of any hope and accepted I was watching a piece of garbage.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Explain the gay secret

Spoiler

The comedian friend had a thing for the friend that got impaled by Pennywise

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Nah this wasn't it, these movies really get by on perfect trailers, the amazing Skarsgard clown and great kid actors.

Part 2 at times felt just as corny as the old tv series, and I assume that wasn't intentional. @TheGodling is so right the scenes where the adults split up to find their artefacts might be the laziest shyt I've seen all year and that includes the Lion King remake.

 

[nieman]

It was just Ok. It's the actors, with Hader & McAvoy in the lead, that carry an otherwise mediocre movie. They could've trimmed the 45min solo missions, and that opening scene was pointless...shouId've followed the girl, and had something with the boy. The Pennywise scenes are great when it's just Skarsgard doing his thing, but then it turns into comedy with the overuse of CGI. Less is more. Overall, while it does serve its purpose, the comedic moments come at such a pace that you really don't get a chance to let the scares marinate. It happens so much that you come to expect it.

Yeah it was just backtracking and recreating shyt. The one with Richie was cool but the rest? Meh. And it doesn’t help they gave away the best one in the trailer

 

[Deltron]

this ran a little too long for my tastes...they def. could've cut at least 20 mins out.

with that said, it's alright overall...not as good as CH 1 but enjoyable for the most part

Spoiler

I liked how bill started getting his stutter when he returned

bill hader killed it as rich

ending was on some IW/endgame thanos snap shyt when Pennywise was getting blipped

all his various forms/illusions were pretty cool to look at
