It Chapter Two
27 years after overcoming the malevolent supernatural entity Pennywise, the former members of the Losers’ Club, who have grown up and moved away from Derry, are brought back together by a devastating phone call.
Interminable, loud and altogether sluggish scarefest that relies on so many of the tired and trite motifs that I have railed against in the past, including the ersatz treatment of sexual marginalization to gain sympathy, a distracting use of computer graphics to age down its actors, a maddening misconception of what is scary with what is gross and a serialization of the narrative that adds nothing but length. Naturally, its opening weekend broke box-office records.
