It: Chapter Two is a perfect example why horror films should rarely use CGI. Their overuse of it took me out of the moment on way too many occasions. The original television movie used practical effects that were more creepily-effective than what was used here. The Chinese restaurant / fortune cookie scene serves as an appropriate comparison.
I enjoyed the film overall. Skarsgård is a super talented actor, and I enjoyed what he brought to Pennywise more this time around. The Losers’ Club ensemble was fantastic as well (Chastain is queen). It’s difficult not to compare everything to the original (which I still believe is superior). Skarsgård is no Curry, but - then again - nobody is.
I will admit, however, that this modern day venture into Derry wins out with its ending. As opposed to the 1990 film, :asterisk_symbol:this:asterisk_symbol: one is properly climactic in every way. And kudos for the addition of Richie’s true love. :rainbow_flag: (Hader was perfection.)
