  I watched the two films in a double bill and I really did want to enjoy this as much as I did the first - but boy, could this have been much more of a let down? The original has a far better cast; snappier direction and a much tighter script. This just rumbles along with a staccato, portmanteau-style storyline that robs the narrative of much of the cohesion of it's earlier, much more compelling, iteration. The ending is straight out of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004) without the roller skates and the pretty feeble efforts from Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy really don't help keep it on track at all!. Sadly, disappointing marshmallow monster mayhem.

  How does a movie with no story become 3 hours long? Seriously, it's a real question. Nothing seems to happen... ever... and they virtue signal by changing a character, because you have to now... but nothing really happens for most of the movie. And the horror felt a bit like a kids movie. But ultimately it's 3 hours with no real plot.

  Chapter 2 was more awesome then the first. I even got a little freaked out myself on some parts. This has easily become one of my favorite horror films of all time.

  I watched the older version of this movie and preferred the characters and the story but not the final monster. This time the monster was better but felt the characters and the story wasn't an improvement. Still it was okay and scary but felt the writers could have been a bit more creative with especially since now there really is no limits with special effects. I still can't look at a clown the same!

  77/100 27 years have passed since the kids from the first film drove Pennywise underground and they've come back together to battle 'IT' one more time. The brisk pace of the film betrays its 168 min run time making the film seem shorter than expected. The inside joke with Stephen King, the absolutely stupendous nod to "The Thing", the continual assault of grotesque and horrific nightmare fuel, all come together to make a fitting sequel and ending to the story ...although admittedly a bit anti-climactic. Nevertheless, as one who has read the novel, I loved it! -- DrNostromo.com

  Worthwhile in every sense It might be unfair to review this together with the Chapter 1 from 2017, but I don't think they are meant to be watched separately. This is a worthy successor to the 1990 version of this tale. No, I know, Curry isn't in this one, and it is a crying shame, but Bill does an excellent job and so does everyone else on this cast. It is a high-end production of a great story, and more than worthwhile to watch. Oh, and Mr King's cameo is lovely, too. It is possibly better than the one he makes in Maximum Overdrive, but only just.
