IT: Chapter Two Official Thread

[Lootpack]

How is that fishing for daps?

Because your opinion is different

Only on the Coli can you be fishing for daps or trolling if your opinion differs from someone else’s. That’s as wild as that guy who said movie reviews should be objective

And?

If it's equally underdeveloped or disconnected from the rest of the story, then it's probably just as shytty as it exists in the movie.

I don't care what is or isn't from the book. All that matters is whether it works on the screen.

All of Derry's crimes, including the hate crime, are much more developed in the book. They are there to illustrate how Derry as a whole is a destitute town full of inhumane evil and violence that It feeds on. There's a whole chapter in the book that details dozens of gruesome, unexplained, and horrendous crimes (and "accidents") committed in the small town that should get national attention but somehow it escapes notice from the country as a whole.

None of that is really baked into the film though, so I could see how it reads as random and disconnected from the main plot.

Right that’s my issue with it. Derry as a town doesn’t seem affected by the murders in this movie and they don’t connect to the larger narrative. The movie telling us to connect the dots is lazy. If a hate crime happens and it’s barely news in this town, that needs to be in the narrative because of what it would say about the town and how it may affect the losers when they come home. Same with the little girl and how that death is there for....reasons

Movie was goofy af. 2/5

Bullying Spider-It to death

That’s faulty logic tho, homie. Every movie works on its own terms. If I say big trouble in little China is a 9 but then say the departed is a 6 (I don’t, I love that flick. Just need an example) then it doesn’t mean big trouble in little China is “better” than the departed. It means big trouble in little China was more successful in its execution than the departed. You don’t judge movies side by side unless they’re of a similar ilk. IT would be judged by its predecessor and other horror flicks, not a comic book movie about a guy who talks to fish.

It's not, the scene is there to clearly establish Pennywise's evil off the top...did you actually watch this movie?

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

The fact that the most terrifying scene is the hate crime right at the beginning and that I totally forgot about it until I saw people mention it here tells me that this movie sucked.
