IT: Chapter Two Official Thread
- Thread starter Deltron
- Start date
There were fukkery moments but overall didn’t feel this installment felt anywhere near as menacing, dark, or scary as it should have been. And I would’ve made the directorial decision toleave bowers out of is, his return added nothing to the story on screen, didn’t help build up the power of pennywise, didn’t pose a real threat, just taking up space given the movie doesn’t explore IT’s power over people explicitly....but it was good fukkery
6.5/10 for me. Need to watch the two together to come up with a real final verdict on these two
100% agreed. I was hype, too, as I watched Part 1 the night before watching Part 2. Part 2 even started out pretty dope but it progressively got worse and worse.
Bowers’ scenes
5/10

I mean, I get where he’s coming from. That scene would’ve fit better in the kid installment as that would’ve been the 80’s and we were a much less tolerant society. That just seemed like an over the top attack in today’s more accepting, “who gives a fukk who you’re fukking” climate. No one is saying hate crimes don’t still happen, but those out the blue, extremely violent attacks based on pure close mindedness just don’t seem realistic for today (again, they happen, but are much more rare, it’s like hanging someone today in a movie, I’m sure someone has been lynched somewhere in America in the past 10 years, but that’s not the go to way to attack someone today), I mean maybe if they were clearly white nationalist organization members i might buy it some as I know they still like random violence...being called names, something thrown at them, sure, but that American history x type beat down and being tossed off a bridge tho
That’s also why I agree with others that it didn’t work given how hard it was to watch that scene, it just doesn’t jive with the world most of us currently know. By including that scene in the present day movie, they owed that scene more respect and to address it later because it just seemed gratuitous, dampened the opening in all the wrong ways, like I couldn’t even care that penny wise is where that scene ended.

This was a definite step down from Chapter 2, but much like Chapter 1 was still a huge step up over the original TV special, mostly due to the huge improvement in acting quality. Which is saying something as I didn't exactly think the acting here was top notch or anything.
Bill Hader really impressed me. He did the damn thing. Best performance of the movie imo

Only reason I take a point from it cause the one flashback when they was at the arcade bout to go in the photo booth, I peeped they had Mortal Kombat
That shyt came out in 1992 but they flashback was set in 1989
Otherwise good movie
If we're going for inconsistencies with that scene, they were playing the original Street Fighter with one of them controlling Ryu and the other controlling Joe. Problem is, Joe is a CPU only character in that game, Street Fighter 1 only had Ryu and Ken as selectable characters. Not only that, I think Richie was controlling Ryu from P2 side. Street Fighter 1 was always Ryu on P1 side and Ken on P2 side. You could not choose who you wanted between the 2.
