Chapter 2 was better than the adult half of the mini-series, and Chapter 1 was better than Chapter 2, but I still prefer the original mini-series overall because Tim Curry brought all the charisma to Pennywise. Skarsgard does fine, but I prefer the character to have more humor. He had more humor in part 1, and even that failed to live up to the brilliance of Pennywise. Chapter 2 being nearly as long as the entire oritinal mini-series just is not necessary. Even though they technically improved on the ending, I would have preferred it be a short ending even if it was inferior. I was just ready for the movie to end.

Its not just Tim Curry.

Chapter 2 had no where near the emotional resonance of the original with Bill needing to go after IT for what happened to his brother.

Neither did [SPOILER - highlight to read]: James death have the same emotional impact.

But hey it had better action and special effects. So theres that.

Who the phuck is James?

And the adult half of the miniseries had considerably less focus on Bill's relationship with Georgie than even chapter 2 of the film did. The adult half of the miniseries is incredibly weak and corny.

When's the last time you've seen the miniseries?

He probably means [SPOILER - highlight to read]: James Ransone, who was playing Eddie.

More focus does not = >>>

Seriously James mcavoys talents were seriously wasted on the roll.

The adult portion and the kids portion were melded together Far better for that emotional cling.

Oh I just saw the original like the other decade. Scared the shit out of me as a kid. Ive bought it and cant wait to rewatch.

I heard the side plot of the skateboard kid was added because McAvoy thought there was something missing to Bill's adult character arc. The whole mirror scene was added for that purpose. McAvoy was right that if you take that out, he has nothing, but it also felt poorly done and shoehorned in.

I watched some of the Red Letter Media review for this and even though they didn't entirely recommend it, it made me a little more interested in seeing the films. So I may at some point.

Movie was garbage; left like halfway through.

If you're a fan of the first film, I'd recommend seeing it. Don't get me wrong, I thought Chapter 2 was enjoyable, but I still liked the first one better.

I'd say the opposite. If you liked the tone of the first one, you'll hate this if you expect more of the same.

Movie couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

We are all missing Classic Mindset, but I guess you're one step from the grave these days.

Have you tried Viagra?

An epic on the scale of modern comic book movies, It Chapter Two is a big deal for the horror genre. While not flawless, there's just so much to love being back with the Losers and Pennywise.

It was good.

Not as good as Chapter 1, but you should still check it out.

I don�t know if it�s ENDGAME level. It�s well past JUSTICE LEAGUE, though.

I saw it and I somewhat concur. Chapter 1 was better.

I wasn't a big fan of the seizure-inducing, strobe light Spider-Clown climax. The film did have some nice sequences, but was also sort of a mess. I felt like the script could have used some work... for example did the gay guys beaten up at the beginning have anything to do with the rest of the film?

I liked Stephen King's cameo, though. That was nice.

I'll probably give it another chance, but I found it somewhat disappointing.

If you left halfway through how do you know it didn't stuck with 1's tone after you stopped watching?

B1tch.
