I loved the novel this film is based on - possibly my favourite of all King's works - and this closing chapter does his story justice. It's not perfect - it does tend to go from one setpiece to the next at too rapid a level - though as some of these setpieces come close to brilliance, this doesn't detract too much from the film. A genuine horror blockbuster with horror, comedy, and heart, this film will make you jump one second, laugh the next, and perhaps even shed a tear a moment later. An accomplished film, and it's just a pity that there is no Part 3 to look forward to. Will miss you losers!

Not as good as the first one but still enjoyable. Pennywise still is super creepy and Bill Skarsgård plays him perfectly. Bill Hader steals the show, everyone else is fine. This felt a little too long and clunky. There was some cool back and forth between the adults and kids but it kinda got old after a while. It could of done with a tighter story.

I really struggled giving this an honest opinion. I think this focused more on special effects rather than the horror aspect. I loved the original It from 1990. And I also love the novel very much but this doesn't really do it for me. It was a good movie yes but too much computer special effects rather than just makeup spx. [spoiler] Anothing thing that annoyed me was Pennywise's death. It looked cheaply made. It could've been made sooo much better, but I understand how hard that would've been with their vision. [/spoiler] One last thing that was awesome was Stephen King's cameo in the shop. It made me feel very comfortable to see him. Oh and let me add that the actors are perfect, they really succeeded with finding good actors that has a similar look as the children.

Didn't like this at all. Felt bored through most of it. Nothing scary apart from the odd jump moment. Plot was so predictable and dull.

Wonderful. A fucking masterpiece. Bill Hader deserves a fucking Oscar.

Even less scary than the first one. Liked the nod to The Shining and how closely the older actors resembled the kids from movie one, but the whole ritual stuff was so dumb and felt so disconnected.

Not nearly as strong as the first film mostly because of how color by numbers it feels--while also being entirely too long. Bill Hader is EASILY the strongest part of the film though.

It’s SO bad! My friend and I had to laugh through the whole movie. Honestly WHAT happened? I didn’t particularly LOVE the first chapter but it was definitely a fair movie... this one’s just all over the place.

They realllyyyy stepped it up with this one. In comparison to the original from 1990, this was much much better in my opinion. It was thrilling, some good jump scares but also funny. Characters like Richie and Eddie were much more developed this time. They had an obvious amount of budget to make everything come to live and cast excellent people.
One of the things that stood out for me was how well cast the adult versions were and how all the actors did an amazing job to stay close to the younger versions.
They explored more of the characters than the original which made [spoiler] deaths like Stan's and Eddie more emotional. [/spoiler]
I'm glad that I saw it in a cinema, because it really is one of those movies you just need to see on a big screen so that Pennywise really feels awfully close. Bill Skarsgard nailed it, once again.

Brilliant casting, great writing and fantastic overall.

Am I the only that actually thought that they seemed to act much smarter when they were kids? I really got the impression that they made dumber decisions as adults.
