Adult me would be chased by pennywise holding my student loans
*Pennywise stands in corner*
"Johnnnn. Y-you owe $24 fwousand dollars on your loansss. Gov-vernment WaNtS tHeiR MONEY!!"
Hahahaha

*AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!*
It’s just a demonic version of sally Mae screaming how you owe her 10,000 every year for the rest of your life
Factz 😄
Dear Pennywise, My worst fear is becoming successful and rich
john xiong XD
john xiong right ahhh I’m surrounded by billions
my fear too ;] send me a big check, I promise it'll scare me to death. I'm also scared of chocolate pennywise.
Don't worry about it
john xiong ikr, in the book they most certainly do NOT live in houses as depicted in the movie 😂😂
My main complaint is that they relied too much on visuals instead of building a real sense of foreboding and suspense.
CitizenZero1 ok but how the fuck are you supposed to make a whatever IT is suspenseful, they did it in the first film
@@cruedvoice1773
Patience. Patience builds suspense.
CitizenZero1 THANK YOU
Totally, there was nothing scary about those CGI monsters that kept popping up... The scene where Jessica Chastain sits down with the old woman was really creepy ... until that CGI cluster fuck burst through the kitchen. I literally started laughing
@@Seaglassandsage the entire cinema started to laugh when that happened.. i was just rolling my eyes
The bill hader and the 3 doors scene made me feel like I was watching a scary movie parody.
Same it was great!
@@sunflower1324 That's not a good thing
@@nurpiet oooo I read that wrong my bad. But a similar scene in the first 1 did u have a problem w that 1? I didnt mind the humor.
@@sunflower1324 agreed, thought the humor was the best part. Eddie and Richie made this one.
@@sunflower1324 Not as much, since it wasn't a recycled joke. And also they didn't have a dog behind one of the doors which they spent about a minute on.
The scares were formulatic honestly. They're collecting their artifacts and after 2 scares you know every character is getting the same scene with a different scare
SAUCYGOAT my thoughts exactly
I was thinking this as well. It was always a fake scare, a brief pause as the character turns around and then a real scare. It was formulaic to the point where it's 100% predictable.
That's how it felt reading the book, too-- I stopped reading it halfway through because I realized the exact same thing was happening seven different times
@@ezraf.3928 To be honest I loved the latter half of the book, when adult and young Losers get prepared to fight pennywise (and that Patrick hockstetter death). I get why many people won't like it though.
I mean, the first one had the same problem. During the segment between the character introductions and the bully chase, and between the chase and the rock fight. It just was a much longer period of time here.
"some of the kids are noticibly getting taller"
Me - "have you tried telling them to stop?"
Lol 😂
4:39 "other characters seem to have more adult fears" - AaHHH RISING HOUSE PRICES
Hahaha, Pennywise manifests himself as a mortgage.
RENT IS TOO HIGH! I’M LATE FOR WORK! I’M GONNA LOSE MY JOB!!!
Adult fears suck, man.
Ironically this is a fear for a younger generation
**turns into crippling college debt**
I was thinking about "Aaaah what if I can't pay mortgage!?". Pennywise comes as a low paycheck :D.
The casting of the adult Losers was spot on! I still can't get over how perfect Jack Dylan Grazer and James Ransone pair up as Eddie.
Mainely Movies Facts 👏🏾👏🏾
Eddie was my favorite in both movies
They look so identical for me, same with Sophia Lillis and Jessica Chastain
Mainely Movies I’ll seriously never get over it. Even James named his son Jack. So cute.
Probably the only good thing about the film
Bill Hader as Richie Tozier is honestly one of the best casting ever.
Yeah the original movie had a great actor too
What about James Ransone as Eddie? He looks the most like his kid counterpart out of the rest of the cast, the resemblance is frightening
Andeddo Zonbi YESS! just watched it and he looked so similar as if it was actually him when he grew up, shit is nuts
Ready to float?? Line had me weakk in the clubhouse
Too bad they decided to get woke and make him gay for Eddie.
I mostly liked it, but felt that they didn't establish a sense of dread and vulnerability anywhere near as well as the first one did.
That’s because they aren’t as small and vulnerable as they were when they were kids. They’re adults now, and you could tell in their reactions. Even the way they react to the door scene is exactly how an adult would react in this situation. Fucking great movie
@@mrtheluckybucket Yeah man. The stupid jokes aren't the reason the tone isn't dark. It's because they are adults. Sure dude
@@Trill_Tour They had stupid ass jokes in the first one too. The young kid swearing every ten seconds was a bullshit, unfunny, unrealistic dialogue trope, but it still had more dread than the second. And it's because adults know how to handle situations better than a fucking child, but sure dude. Yeah man.
It's the same setting, same villain, same situation but they grew up. *That's* why it isn't a darker tone. Throw an adult in a dark basement and a 10 year old kid in a dark basement and they will have very different reactions.
eric garcia horrible execution is why. In the book, King is a master of suspense, but this adaptation couldn’t afford this luxury, but even so the miniseries handled the Three Uninvited Guests part much better; I don’t understand why Bowers didn’t critically injure Mike, like he did in the book, nor why most of the conflict and even the climax takes place in the daytime, as this really hurts the tone.
@@mrtheluckybucket except there was way more jokes in this movie.
Also what was the point of Bowers being in that movie. He did nothing. He showed up and died right away
Somebody went to the Star Wars School Of Subverting Expectations maybe?
See I thought that he was going to kill Mike. So now the group doesn't know how to do the ritual and would have to improvise defeating Pennywise.
Because he had a bigger role in the book
Yep, the whole adult Bowers sub plot was way more fitting with the extra book info. Weirdly don't in the flick. I was okay with it, but just as okay if he were done in during part 1
CareFreeZone
Did he not die like an hour after showing up? Besides it’s blatantly obvious why he’s there isn’t it..?
Pennywise wants to mess with the losers in anyway possible, or even just get rid of some of them. He also serves as a turn around for Richie who was previously going to leave but changed his mind, killing him cementing that choice
I never got bored with the movie, I feel like they really tried to stay true to the book in a lot of scenes which I can appreciate. The movie felt more like a dark comedy than an actual horror like the first.
The adult actor for Stanley looks so similar to the child actor
@@BellicIV bruh the movie is basically a remake of the 1990 it and the book,you wouldve known by now
BellicIV tf don’t go through comments on a review if you haven’t seen it yet dumbass
I know right!
Ben,Eddie,richie look good
@@EddieFreak hes joking guys chill lol
You can't get scared when Pennywise jumps at James McAvoy, cause he's James McAvoy
And James McAvoy has played a scarier character than Pennywise.
@@ascuzzibabadibupi978 HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA I NEED THIS
Black Sunday What?
Ciorchinele Suprem I thought so.....
The Beast vs Pennywise
Mr. Tumnus?
Bill Hader made this film. He really did. I really hope he starts getting more dramatic roles.
He had the heart of the film, because of subtext within the book that they actually majorly expanded on, and I think he as Richie surpassed Pennywise as the best role.
A comedic actor known for voices and impressions getting serious roles? I hope he doesn't turn into Jim Carrey
I couldn’t agree more. He was simply incredible. I honestly think he deserves an Oscar for this.
@@justbeyondthecornerproduct3540 flip side he could go the Robin Williams route
Have you seen Barry yet?
@@BadDecisions333 Yes I have! It is so good! Have you seen Skeleton Twins?
Every damn monster just made me laugh Idk why lmao.
The CGI was fucking atrocious, same happened in the first one
So true....It chapter 1 was 10times better.
Because hitting your head.
Wasn't scary but more funny. Was disappointed.
This movie was hilarious
Can we appreciate the casting? It was so damn spot on!
Sam Ash James ransom was perfect
The cast was perfect!!!
It’s too bad the story was terrible.
Agreed.
Didnt like Hader, he belongs in comedies bot horror films. Can't take his character seriously.
kasparov9 the thing with comedy in horror movies, it makes sense. In a real life scenario there’s going to be people who use humor as ways to cope with situations, like Richie. Not everyone is going to be stone cold serious and dramatic, there’s always going to be a few who crack some jokes because that’s just how they are. There’s humor in almost every situation. That’s just my take anyway.
Pennywise looked the absolute creepiest when he was talking to the little girl under the bleachers. geez.
Yeah I wanted more of that, less giant Pennywise spider. Lol
Brian McLean I actually enjoyed watching him as a spider lol
People always make fun because of the way I look 😒
I personally didn’t notice the differences in the kids, I even thought their scenes were filmed in the past at the same time as they filmed part one. Good eye!
Lol I didn't either! And I thought it was footage from the first one too!!..But remember chris is like a professional reviewer so he sees things the average viewer doesn't..
The kid from strangers things grew a bit since part 1
The only i actually noticed was ben he looked ehhh and their voices i felt like were different
Exactly same thing I said
Same.
I’m not gonna lie, it did not feel like 3 hours. I was invested the whole time.
I started feeling it the last 15-30 minutes but I agree. I loved the movie, just a little out stretched. (felt like 2 1/2 hours for me)
Same here, maybe towards the end, I was impressed with how quickly the director got Them back to Derry. But I would've appreciated more time to see their struggles in their adult lives after suppressing such a major childhood trauma for so long and immediately having it return out of nowhere 27 yrs later
Same!
@@Power_Glove not everybody thinks that way.
I fell a sleep
Been anticipating this movie all year. I'm just waiting on the "Joker" movie now.
Do you like clowns that much
Kidding
Joker... 6 minute standing ovation at the last festival. That’s impressive. 👏🏽
The Continuing Adventures of Lenny Wanser To be fair many movies have had standing ovations. Including bad ones and recent ones like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Joker and The Lighthouse
@@thecontinuingadventuresoflenny 8 Minutes standing ovation at Venice Film Festival
Most dragged out scene:
“You lied and I died, you lied... and I died. YOU LIED, AND I DIED! YOU LIED... AND I DIED!!!!!!!!!!”
Correction: The whole movie.
his voice was so annoying
I watched this movie twice and the first time this scene was okay, the second time I thought yeah yeah yeah... I think it would’ve been more hard hitting if they put more emphasis on when hes all sad and says it the first time because that poked my heart a little.
It is a being from another dimenssion, it doesnt relly understand how to pull a string of ur heart... it wants to terrorize you, haunt you.... thats what its good at. and your little brother blaming you over and over trust me would scare the shit out of everyone
And...
Legit didn't realise the kids had CGi work on them. I didn't think it was distracting at all
Production Journal same I was questioning Eddie a bit but it never bothered me
Honesty me neither,,
I noticed it first with Ben and it distracted me a lot
It was the voices that really took me out
Agreed. I had known about this before going in & the it looked pretty dam good. The ADR-ing I noticed right away. That was a little weird.
I really think Mike was used for nothing but exposition. He was barely shown in any of the flashback scenes and his adult character said nothing but vague statements and expositionary dialogue. He had no personality.
"I'm not scared when Pennywise jumps at James Mcavoy. Cause he's *James Mcavoy* "
Hah, I'm not the only one wondering if IT could take on the world's greatest bulletbender, one of the smartest psychic and a multi-persona'd maniac.
Sharil Shahed I had to laugh at this line
I like how more of the focus was more on the unknown actors rather then the well known actors made it more easy to invest into the characters
Plot twist: *James McAvoy is Pennywise during his split persona*
James actually came off like he wasn't scared either.
MarloSoBalJr *Pennywise is the Beast*
Chris:”It’s LOOOOOOONG.... and you can feel it”
Me: that’s wha....
Chris:”wow this is really lengthy”
Me: That’s What She.....
Chris: “I never really feel that length”
Me: that’s what she said?
That is funny bruh!!!🤙
@@bionicspyider2054 BRUUUUUHHHHH that be mad funny 😂 🤙 Finna got some mad laughs from this comment bruh 😂 😂
Well done Michael Scott
Welcome to The comedy area
Sure it's long but it's also girthy and that's what matters in the end.
I didn't notice any voice processing or CGI on the kids. I genuinely assumed they filmed both at the same time.
Same here, and now that I’m aware of that I think they did a great job. I preferred this chapter to the first movie.
I thought it was obvious on the Stranger Things kid. Other than that, didn't notice it.
I kinda noticed in some scenes but I understood why they had to do it. I wish they had filmed some of those scenes two years ago or just made the kid scenes take place two years after the first movie.
I noticed the voice processing in a lot of the scenes but none of the ageing effects
I thought it was super obvious on young Ritchie
This movie could've used some serious trimming in the editing room
About 3 hours worth.
@@romanfields7900 agree. this movie shouldn't be released to not traumatize the quality cinema likers
It was a jumbled mess.
A LOT of trimming...it had no need to be that long...that's why it has zero tension in any of the sequences..so dull
I found a lot of the humor to be misplaced and just odd. The movie could not convince me what it wanted to be: horror or tongue-in-check comedy. It was a bit distracting and kinda made me less invested throughout.
There is a correlation between fun/laughing and scares, it’s why people like rollercoasters. It’s why Return of the Living Dead is a masterpiece. It’s why the chair scene in The Thing is awesome. The only part I didn’t like in this was the Paul Bunyon scene. I wasn’t scared by either movie, I was there for the clown and both delivered some freakishly weird scenes that were worth my time. The kids in the first one were constantly ribbing each other and it was repeated in the second movie, but they were now adults..and one was a stand up comedian.
ANT-METAL sorry but the chair scene in the thing was the only scene that tried to be funny it may work for other films like evil dead but in IT chapter 2 it was misplaced the first one didn’t had comedy in between the horror only right after or before the horror but not on the middle of a creepy scene like chapter 2 did some of them worked but the dog in the door scene was misplaced so was the angel song with Eddie and the lepper and other scenes as well
Agreed, this is becoming one of the biggest problems in entertainment these days, way too much slapstick humor & no substance. It makes characters insufferable & it's hard to take things seriously (the musical scene in Stranger Things is another example).
Call it the Marvel Effect: every single scene has to culminate with a snarky one-liner. Watch most movies and TV geared towards younger audiences, and it's prevalent.
Its cool that Stephen King himself was in it. I loved this movie
$300 dollars & your ending sucks
Ya that was a awesome scene with King.
His cameo was cute!
Grizzly Dave85 thanks for the fucking spoiler fuck head next time put a spoiler warning 🤡
@@dreadhead4570 not a spoiler at all. That has nothing to do with the plot/ending. Just voicing his opinion on a cameo in the movie and had you not seen Stephen King before, you wouldn't even know it was him.
In my opinion there are too many other monsters and not enough Pennywise. I want to see more Bill Skarsgard.
Alex Snow yes!!
Agreed
The amount of time you see him as Pennywise doesn't really make sense. He's supposed to be "IT" a thing with no real form.
Totally agreed , movie would of been a lot scarier if they just stuck to only the clown and nothing else
@@Anonymous-ht4tt because you're scared of clowns. Pennywise was never scary, just enjoyable to watch.
The scariest part was when I was woken up by my girlfriend when it was time to leave
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Jeremy posts, all you gotta do is wait for Chris
Just an ant and vice versa.
Yes
Brooo facts 😄
Jeremy has the most annoying voice ever and cuts after every sentence.
Unwatchable
kevinkilbane2007 agree
So, nobody's gonna talk about the unneccessary jumpscares in every damn scene? It ruined the movie for me.
Karlo Blažek just like the other one huh? The only scene that frightened me was when Beverly turned around and boom there he is. The whole audience jumped
I only jumped once and it was because I was zoning out and wasn’t paying attention
Karlo Blažek I thought the Jumpscares were good
It's a horror movie
Well i think they had meaning to them. Pennywise is demonic. He wants to be as scary/difficult/annoying as possible. Apparently that’s not a problem with characters, but it seems like the audience too
Being an adult means you KNOW that Penniless is much more scary than Pennywise.
SIR! hahahaha
😂😥😭
Innit
now your movie scene scared me off my shoes straight !!! hahaha
Shut up, being an adult means u KNOW that u literally commented the exact same thing on Jeremy Jahns review video for IT Chapter 2. Go get a life
The acting was great, casting was perfect. However, the amount of CGI in this movie is overwhelming. I wasnt even slightly creeped out by the horror scenes. I was entertained but felt like I was rolling my eyes through half of it. It was completely noticeable when the younger characters were edited. I was like, why are their faces all weird and blurry and voices sound so weird? It seemed like bev was the only one noticeably unaltered. I think a C+ is fair
The issue is adults don't really have physical fears, they have social fears. Losing your job is far more frightening than a scary clown in your town.
I was hoping that the tone would go darker because they're adult, darker means more that unexpected goosebumps and terror that even adult can't really handle the fear. It just the same shit, straight up from the novel, nothing surprising. I got really sleepy and boring after eddie's flashback with his mom being stuck in that clinic, and then getting more boring afterwards.
I don't think he gave this movie enough credit. It was long but it didn't drag. Bill Hader did indeed carry most of the dialogue. And the cinematography was gorgeous. So much attention to detail in every shot. I would at LEAST bump that C+ to a B-
Agreed.
🤗🙄😋😉😉
Cinematography was gorgeous? It was like 50% Dutch angles lol
BUT you dont Have a RUclips channel that needs views.
Stuckman is not Who he used to Be.
Its All Green now
Indeed
It's wrong saying that Eddie's still scared of germs that's why Pennywise is a hobo again. It's not germs that scares him so much. It's memories of Pennywise in an exact same form he appeared first time to him that scares him. A bit deeper than you thought.
yeah exactly what i was thinking too
Apologists 🤣🤣🤣
so true. in fact you can tell he had matured in the fact that he actually fought back
@@Ekolop You mean how he fought back then got scared then fight back then got scared in both the first movie and this one? Only difference here is he died before he could chicken out again...
For the next sequel, get sir Ian McKellen, Maggie smith, Patrick Stewart, Morgan Freeman etc
IT really dead. It never return
Laufield his avatar is not the real IT
@@Laufield until the next movie comes😅
Morgan Freeman 😂😂😂
There is no sequel. The Losers defeated It for good.
Dark area: exists
Pennywise: *it's free real estate*
B-but... the antique store had the KING??🥺
All Pennywise has to do is show me my credit score and I’m out.
"Kiss me fat boy! HAHAHAHA" - Tim Curry
this was def not a horror movie, i was laughing the whole movie, gave me old school scary movie vibes
The film wasn't called as a pure horror movie from the beginning but a horror comedy. The book itself is not described as a horror book
So just because it didn't scare you personally it doesn't count as horror at all? That's not how genres work.
@@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr no no ofc not, i cant speak for everyone, i just saw it as the directers going for more of that old school scary movie vibe, either that or they were high af making this haha
@@Vic-Valentine That clarifies your comment a lot and I can see where you're coming from. There were some scenes that got my heart racing, but admittedly some moments (like Pennywise referencing Street Fighter lmao) made me lose my shit. I still liked the movie overall though.
@@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr yeah, i guess its because the movie relied a lot on loud jumpscares when it comes to horror, and that stuff never really gets me, but i really enjoyed it too as a whole, one of my favorite times in the cinema in a while
This film was quite predictable, too long and the ending of killing pennywise was so anti climatic
Y’all lame
@Kane Vision exactly!!!
@Kane Vision completely agree
@Kane Vision awe thank you my love, you too❤️
Kane Vision chapter one is great they focused on making it simple Chapter 2 want bad but it felt forced like they wanted to make as many references as possible
Old Spice guy vs Pennywise should be featured in a Deathbattle.
Netro Lancer terry cruise vs Pennywise
I’m probably in the minority with the opinion that I actually preferred this part to the first. I was gripped from start to finish & didn’t feel the length of the movie at all. I also found it to be more character driven as well and that ending was really tugging on the old heart strings!! I really really enjoyed this movie.
This is exactly me. Especially having read the novel.
Stephen D'ARCY l
I agree. The thing is, it's a big book. You're going to need around 5 hours in total anyway. If they tried to fit this into a 120 minute run, they would have to cut out too much and it would ruin the film
I agree
I also liked this part a little more.
The comedy in this movie is actually funny, but I was disappointed that they didn’t add more time to characterize mike :/ every one had personality and we knew about their life but as for mike , he’s just shown as a crazy person trying to stop a clown 😔
Yeah I felt the same issue with the first one. Mike is way more important in the book.
Zack Kampf yea he’s way more interesting in the book, and more lovable and there’s a ton of interesting details about him. His character seemed forced in the new movie and they forgot abt him....
He was like the father to all of em
Yeah I didn’t know what his fear was I got kind of confused he needed more of a story he didn’t really have one and he stayed in derry :/
Dude at the end of the year you should make a top movies of the decade!!
"As long as there's no absurd copyright claims we should be good."

Ace Coordinator Mary I’m laughing so hard 😂
Right!?
And I thought my jokes were bad...
@@ReadyPlayerMovies I understood that reference 😂
Why the heck would childhood fears change once you are older?
havent you heard of "trauma"?
Cause people grow out of their fears
@@diegomichel629 not necessarily
Mike true, it definitely depends on the person
Tiyler Winters true, some* people grow out of their fears
@@diegomichel629 Yes people grow out of their fears, but if you had to face a demon clown almost dying when you were a kid, its almost certain that you will have those fears and even more! here it looks like their personalities were affected even when they forgot all about It.
Too long, many scenes dragged on when they didn’t need to, anticlimactic final battle with penny wise, and heavy reliance on CGI. Yep, just gonna watch the first one again
I usually agree with Chris on almost all of his reviews, but i think he sold this short. This movie was engaging the whole time. The deaging was not that distracting at all.
I'm with you here.
I agree, but he 's still the critic I agree with the most.
Completely disagree, especially after reading the book. Was just meh
This movie was almost perfect I really dont understand the negative reviews
G K have to disagree mate. Pacing issues, amongst other things
they could have avoided the age problem by filming the movies back to back instead of waiting
Yeah but that's not how it works. Most times actors do their thing, and wait like a year or two for the team to edit and market the movie. And if it's successful, they evaluate if it's a good idea to make a second one, and again
They were probably unsure of how successful the first movie would be to go ahead and Green light the 2 movies back to back.
They had a low budget for the first, because they weren’t sure on it performing.
Just the scenes with the kids could be filmed at on time. If you don't do that you can use deepfakes to de-age.
@@irocklalot Nah there’s no way in hell they weren’t already gonna make the second part. IT isn’t two different stories, it’s one big story that happens to have a major plot setting shift, so it only makes sense to split it into two movies considering how long it is. They wouldn’t just make only the first half of one of King’s most popular stories. And Hollywood is too greedy to pass up the opportunity to make more money even if the movie didn’t do great.
The de-aging and ADR actually didn't bother me, and I saw this on IMAX. Maybe it might second viewing, as I tend to be more critical, but we'll see. I otherwise am in agreement but lean more towards a B- for myself.
Your opinions doesnt matter. Chris is the master critic. He know movies more than us. Just listen and agree
@@thewho186 Your comment doesn't matter. I can share my opinions as I please. Just read and don't reply.
@J Thank you.
Saw it in Dolby and didn’t notice any wired sounds or voice dialogue. But it’s something I’ll definitely try to look for in my next viewing!
George Heilman During that one scene with the paul bunyan i noticed that richie looked older at a different angle and the first scene in the treehouse sounded a little bad but other than that it seemed pretty ok
CG on the kids didn't bother me, but there was a lot of weird editing choices going on for sure.
Bill Hader is so underrated. Watch him in Barry!
My favorite show of the past decade
Barry has got to be one of the best shows I’ve watched! It’s so fucking amazing!
Yes, "Barry" is such an underrated show, love Bill Hader!😍
He’s not underrated lol he’s got a fucking show... if you’re a celebrity you are not underrated. Actual people are underrated. He’s a guy who got a good break. Barry is chill but it’s far from perfect, it needs to go somewhere.
@@randomdude189 Nobody said it was perfect. He's underrated because not a lot of people know about his drama skills besides his comedy. Calm down.
For some reason I never felt the runtime
Mrbrowntown112 same here
Yeah same!
It was great ^^ they didn't spend much time on the beginning of the characters because they all where stuff in there old patterns becausethey forgot how they overcame them in the first chapter. Chapter 2 is literally them re-remembering how they overcame their fears and how they grew up. LOVED IT ^^. had no prblem with the running time at all X)
Because you are gay
If I'm watching my favourite movies I wish they would never end 😂
I'm guessing James McAvoy turned into the Beast and ripped Pennywise to shreds.
Kratoscallofduty that would have been so much better
Ehhh..Pennywise would just eat the Beast. It seems like the only people/things that can beat Pennywise are the Loser's Club and Maturin the Turtle.
@@darthtrip7188 Maturin's little brother A'tuin could probably do it
@@michaelwilson5114 Niiice. Discworld, right ?
Also, I think the Crimson King (Insomnia and The Dark Tower series) and Randall Flagg (The Dark Tower series and The Stand) could take IT/Pennywise down as well. So could Roland Deschain aka the Gunslinger and his Ka-Tet (The Dark Tower series).
Bowers ruined the movie for me, whenever I was trying to get into the scenes I just kept imagining what the atmosphere in the car with the zombie was like. They must have been driving for such a long time LOL.
Gintoki!
@@BrruZem Nani!?
It was much scarier in the book.
I loved this movie just as much if not more than the first one. There was no drag-ons and every scene was related to something important. The funny parts weren't overly done but when it was trying to be funny it did great. This movie had it all the emotion, the horror, the action, the thrill, the comedy and much more. I couldn't ask for more. I had a fun time. Definately better than most modern day horror movies. Great acting plus everyone has an important role in some form. The death scenes were gruesome as I expected. Definately go check it out if you enjoyed the first one.
BossAman Barrage I Loved I got No Complaints 9.2/10 ☆☆☆☆ For me
this movie was as good as the first, idk why he didn't like it that much, it never dragged at all.
They literally "overcame the villain" by bullying it. The group of losers that have always gotten bullied... Became the bullies to win. Nice writing.
@@cottoncandylol7175 idk if telling a creature what it is, and putting it down to size is the right term for bullying, if a bully kicks your ass for years and you learn martial arts and beat him up one day, you aren't really the bully there.
@@heythere6983 They didn't learn martial arts tho, they called it names. Lmao.
There are moments when the adult actors portray their characters and they remind you of the younger cast. Honestly the casting is just magical
Except Ben...he felt off
@@LadyMisalein how?
People act like IT Chapter Two is unconscionably long. As opposed to... Chapter One? Chapter One was 14 minutes shorter than Chapter Two. They're both long movies.
Chapter 1 was 2 hours 9 minutes with credits and chapter 2 was 2 hours 49 minutes with credits so it's a 40 minute difference
Also pacing
@@gabrielcurle6458 It's no more than 20 minutes difference. Go Google IT chapter 1, see the runtime, then Google IT chapter 2, then see that runtime. Then do the mental math, pull out your calculator, or barring that shut the fuck up. Why nitpick over something so petty, unless you bleed once a month?
voteZDLR I did exactly what you told Gabriel to do and it’s a difference of 24 minutes (which is more than a 20 minute difference) So you wrote out an entire paragraph berating someone and can’t even get the math correct yourself. Lol what a clown
@@cokemachine62590 he has some serious issues
It was fun, but I felt safe throughout the movie. On the other hand with the first one, I was in a constant state of panic and anxiety and desperately wanted a break from it all, which was AMAZING for a horror movie experience
Idk man I would give this a B I really liked it. The first is better but this was solid and I left feeling really entertaining and satisfied.
Imo this film was pretty good in the first half but the other half was boring and predictable af. Some cringes also found its way into the "reunion scene" at the very end. All of my friends, including me, were disappointed. (SPOILER ALERT) The plot itself didn't make sense, especially "how to kill Pennywise". They built the hype up in the first half and then just smashed it with TOO many repetitive scenes that don't even scare anyone. The irony in this film was how they talk about that guy who always writes books with bad ending but now they just imply it to themselves. 5.5/10 for me.
@@ZzDarkShadowKnightzZ I can dig the criticisms but they don't ruin it that much for me.
Ragging on Stephen King the whole time for not being able to write a good ending is funny but they indeed still don't have a great one here.
Tbh I wouldn't call either film scary anyway. They're creepy and messed up. But never those really tense on the edge of your seat horror films.
I just like the story and characters well enough. I was very entertained.
But the first one will remain superior in that it will always work as a stand alone film vs this one which will only ever work as an addendum to it.
Thats because you are a stupid average gringo that likes all those cringe and predictable lame "horror"
@@pxofpxof7782 gringo? Your name is Glenn pipe down he's entitled to his opinion. I thought it was good too. 🙂
I couldn't even see the thumbnail cause I clicked so fast
Me too
Lmao same
How did you know what he thought of the film then?
I got to tell you Chris I didn’t even notice a lot of the stuff you’re complaining about. To be honest I also barely even noticed the run time. Before the movie started I was worried I would but then I was caught up so much in what was going on in the movie I wasn’t even thinking about how much time was left.
Probably he's not really into the movie and just made this content for the sake of making and having a content since a lot of reactors creators will make this one. I wouldn't believe all the bad reviews especially when I know I loved the first one, and even I haven't watch this yet.. I know it will be a faithful sequel. 💖🎈
Same. Everyone who complained the movie was too long shows they really didn’t care for the story of the movie itself or they have a short attention span.
That's why chirs will be a director one day lol ........haters.....
I completely agree. I didn’t notice any of these negatives. I was shocked at what time it was when we got out because it didn’t feel like three hours at all. It definitely deserved more than a C+. This is why I see movies myself instead of relying on the critics lol
Russ W yes! I didn’t even notice the kids were CGI!
Bill Hader was really good in this movie. He was great comedic relief
Adult fears - BILLS!
They din't add this because it'd be too scary 😂😂😂
The best adult horror film I know is the Amityville horror. Just think of the insurance premiums!
@@jackmars931 stephen king called it a financial demolition derby 😆
In the book it is made clear that all the losers grew up to be successful and rich.
While I do agree that the film felt inconsistent with it's pacing, I think the point of the film (as well as this section of the book) is to emphasize the importance of memories and how we grow from trauma. There is a line Pennywise says towards the end (his exact last line) that I feel emphasizes the growth that some of these characters have gone through. This film is from an adult perspective looking back on their past and re contextualizing it from a new pair of glasses. Certain actions we did as kids (especially with Bill) ring differently as adults. While the theme is not too heavily emphasized, it is something that should still be noticed. And for me, the pacing didn't fully affect my experience. I do agree with the ADR thing though as well as some of the CG.
SPIRIT MAN STUDIOS jesus did you write all this just to justify a garbage movie ? 😂😂
oh my god. a whole fucking novel for some shitty fan theory and pretentious interpretation. how embarrassing
You’re free to dislike the movie, I never once said you can like it.
@@Revan-eb1wb I'm not even being pretentious here, King himself said as much about his book being a story of memories.
@@SPIRITMANSTUDIOS don't feed the trolls man.
Too long?!.....Heck with that...I’ll be awaiting the 4 1/2 hour Director’s Cut next year! 😄
Ted Logan i heard there was a 6 hour cut 😭
Yeah seriously, it's like bitching that you got too much money back from the IRS. Take it and be happy you got extra
Haha
SO WILL I. I think the director's cut will be a lot better than this version. This version, even though it was still long, still felt like it was missing a lot.
I don't mind a long movie... If it's not horse shit.
The transitions between the scenes were so damn good
They were terrible. That's why the pacing was so bad. If they did it a couple times, fine. But they did it 100x
@@yippykiyay89 he's referring to the visual transitions. Some were pretty creative. But yeah, the pacing was sloppy.
Huh? So damn good? This movie sucked so bad. If you don’t agree you don’t know jack about movies - certainly not enough to talk about “transitions”. Have the courage to admit when something sucks - this film was absolutely terrible.
I thought the same thing :D Overall I thought it was a visually very pleasing movie
@@ThePinsa42 I didn't say the movie was great. I said that the transitions were smooth. I agree that the horror was bad and the jump scares pretty awful.
*Chris is right.* The horror is more intense from their *childhood perspective.* That's why Bill Paxton's *Frailty* is so terrifying.
CARTOONIVERSE1 Glad other people appreciate Frailty too
CARTOONIVERSE1 Most underrated horror film since The Exorcist III!
That movie is sooo underrated. It's fantastic.
RIP magnificent Paxton.
Yeah I like frailty alot!
The movie feels very much like a videogame: the introduction of the characters, each character has some quest to complete and the ending where everyone has to work together to beat the end boss. I know the book and miniseries are plagued with the same issues, but this adaptation had the opportunity to improve upon it.
Optidorf perhaps the audience needs to snort a mountain of cocaine before viewing.
It was LONG. But the ending was fantastic
Nathan Hansen ehhh I thought the ending was an interesting choice. I feel like it was anticlimactic
Lol they beat him by hurting his feelings. It’s like the message is that if someone’s bullying you, you should just bully them back. Pretty terrible to be honest. Plus it doesn’t even make sense. He becomes weak and pathetic when they “believe” he is, but then that means that Pennywise should have been harmless to all the kids who thought he was just a normal clown.
@RazorEdgeFrisbee What would your interpretation be?
The ending that said bullying is the key???? I guess the gay people got what they deserved in the intro.
@@jamesbell1186 I feel like the main cast's change in perspective could explain why they were able to defeat him. Most of the kids Pennywise seemed to go after were scared or insecure. Now that the gang has grown up and learned to overcome their fears and come to terms with who they are, they gained leverage over him. I agree that the message of bullying those who bully you seems childish, but Pennywise did murder a bunch of innocent kids, so it's justified.
I loved it. Lengthy and all, but touching and beautifully shot.
While I certainly understand the criticisms given I think it was a fantastic movie that delivers solid acting, great scares and incredible emotional moments that triumph over the miniseries in so many ways. The length didn’t bother me because there was a lot of ground to cover and I didn’t feel bored at all with any of the scenes cause I was emotionally invested with these characters. And I’m glad to hear someone finally talk about Pennywise cause I feel people are making Bill Hader overshadow Pennywise too much when Bill Skarsgard still delivers a powerhouse performance.
Youre not chris stuckmann so youre wrong.
thewho186 hello mr. Bot. Goodbye mr. Bot.
Great acting doesn’t take from shitty plot and garbage ending, they “believe” he is not scary so he couldn’t hurt them, but the girl with the birthmark believed he was not scary yet he killed her, ok.
@@7mnee365 Interesting point. Probably should have omitted that scene if they were going with that ending. Though I believe that the makers really had no idea how to end It, and flew by the seat of their pants.

"I thought my Life was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a Comedy"
I honestly have to say I really enjoyed this movie as I watched it last night. Not so much as a Horror Movie (although there were some legit creepy moments) but more as a Comedy. The whole theater was laughing half the time. And it really seems that's what the filmmakers wanted to achieve (for whatever reason)
Exactly! I think part of the "problem" is that people came to this film wanting a replica of the original, but the themes are different in each film and so the films themselves are different to. The first one was about conquering your fears. This one was about "learning to accept the past." So horror isn't the focus as much as sadness, regret, nostalgia, and forgiveness (along with comedy to balance both).
I honestly didn’t mind the parts that were meant to be funny, like Richie’s lines for example. Some people see it as too much comic relief. But I saw it as Richie using jokes as a coping mechanism after a traumatic event, which I thought was a nice touch since he’s a comedian. I’m the same way. That’s how I cope with many horrible things.
Me personally, when I start to get fascinated by the mythos and the work itself I stop being scared of it, in any media. I find "It's" lore and connections to other King's books, especially Dark Tower so fascinating that it's cool instead of being horrifying.
So to me it was never about the horror in the first place, it's kinda like an adventure story. Like, Stranger Things is totally inspired by It and it doesn't have a single horror moment.
I’m not the only one who waited for my mans Chris after Jeremy’s to make sure it was good
go see movies for yourself and form your own opinion you pussy
Lol I seriously just did the same thing . Glad to see I'm not the only person who trusts chris and Jeremy

I saw it last night and thought it was great! Its not as scary as the first, and is pretty funny in lots of places. I enjoyed it!
I’ve never cared much about runtime to be honest 🤷🏽♂️
its not slow it was good
Mandy Vin same, from my experience long movies tend to be good actually, for me because if the plot is interesting then the longer the runtime the more it immerses you into the movie.
Mandy Vin same
Neither does Chris. He mentions the Green Mile which is just as long, but it fills EVERY minute and makes it worth it.
I'll happily watch a really long movie but if I feel like the movie could have happened in 30 minutes less, I get bored and annoyed.
It's the pacing thats the issue. Endgame was a three hour movie but there's so much happening, it feels like it goes by so fast

I haven't seen it yet, but Jessica is gonna have to be perfect to convince me it shouldn't have been Amy Adams.
It's been 2 years since the last movie. Time flies.
Jeremy Jahns: The every-man perspective.
Chris Stuckmann: The cinema-snob perspective.
And yes, I love both of these.
If you think *Chris* is a snob just because he's informative and understands what he's talking about (much like Jeremy, just in a different style), I envy you.
Chris thinks he knows more about movies than he actually does. For sure, he has no idea about how the business works and he doesn't follow it in the least bit. If he did, he wouldn't mispronounce so many actor's names, etc.
Jeremy is a prick. Annoying horrible dickhead
Gabe Villarreal If Chris is a snob, then cinema snobs don’t exist.

I loved this movie. 8.5/10 for me. I thought it was more funny than scary tho but I was entertained for the most part.
agreed. I was expecting a so-so movie from all the reviews, but I really enjoyed it.
I had fun and was emotional.
I rewatched part 1 two days ago, and I honestly liked part 2 more. Seems like that’s an unpopular opinion lmao 😂
yea same. in this movie pennywise was alot more awesome and interesting to me. and i liked that the charecters felt somewhat the same as when they were kids!

Watched the movie, its definitely better then C+. I would give it a B+.
Ahil982 yeah I agree, the main thing I disagree with is that I thought it was paced really well! I was surprised when my friend told me there was 40 minutes left, I thought we were only halfway through 😂
Nah- a C+ for me
its just as good as the first
Ahil982 yea I think it should be 88% on rotten tomatoes
Lol no
Finally saw it last night, and YES, "uneven" is the best word for it. It's wonderful in parts, incomprehensible and boring at others. Was it editing? Script? A combination of both? Probably that. But man, I FELT those 2 hours and 45 minutes. I liked it, don't get me wrong, but yes. Uneven.
I was lucky enough to see a screening last night. This film is amazing. I’m a massive SK fan so I have a personal connection to this franchise. Great performances all the way around but Bill Hader stole the show. Chris, thank you for consistently putting out great content. You rule sir. 👍🏽😃✌🏽

you watch reviews for movies before you see them?
@the kelly gang very fair point.
Hope you are enjoying it!
@the kelly gang Chris can spoil things for me. If he talks about an ending and thinks he's being vague, or a twist in the movie, I can still usually piece it together. So whenever I see a review of his is over 8 minutes I avoid it til after because I know he's going to talk about certain things. This time I still watched because I read most of the book.

Just saw IT Chapter 2. Although I agree with Chris on many reviews, I believe in this case his critique hat was interfering with his enjoyment and suspension of disbelief.
Case in point, he said the fears of the children weren't sold by the adults. Particularly with James McAvoy. If he's mentioning James McAvoy, the actor, by name, that mean Chris Stuckmann wasn't sold at all with his performance as Bill. Second, what planet is Chris born on where he believes all adults have to have let go the fears they carried as children? There are plenty adults in the real world who haven't properly dealt with their fears and horrors they experienced from the past,, and I felt that Pennywise successfully exploited that even more than when they were kids in the first chapter. .
The things that bothered him like the CGI didnt bother me prolly cuz I was way more immersed in the characters instead of the nit picking like he was doing with his critics hat on.
Maybe if he sees it again to just enjoy it, he might feel differently. I give this film an A- (for little shorter run time).
I think after a certain point in a critics career they tend to have no suspension of disbelief since they can see all the tropes or obvious things that are going to happen because of camera angles. Which is why some websites or critics tend to have a third party or something to show if audiences will like it or will critics like it (and any bias may tip one end or the other)
I agree. When he talks about the child - > adult fears, he almost speaks as if it comparable to when a child is afraid of a vacuum cleaner, but this is traumatic events. The Losers fought an inter-dimensional being that feeds on humans, and tortures them with fear slowly before they're killed. That's a traumatic event on a scale that's incomparable. Of course you're still going to be afraid of Pennywise. Plus, most of the Losers club, its not just phobias, they had deeply traumatizing events that they never had to deal with , because once they moved, they literally just forgot everything.
100% i agree, i didnt even notice that the children were CGI'd or anything related to their voices because i was just sitting there with a massive smile on my face basically the whole film!
Right ! I wanna see Chris make s 10/10 movie !!
