How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting reunion where childhood friends must confront both the supernatural horror that shaped them and the ways time and distance have changed them. It's as much about loss and the impossibility of reclaiming the past as it is about battling an ancient evil.

Yeah no this one is abysmal.
I think some of the character work is still pretty good and the performances all around the board are good.
Its just that with the near 3 hour runtime, it spoonfeeds you jumpscares the entire time.
The film is edited like it needs to reach the next scene while its still a completely different one.Pennywise aka bill skarsgard is still fun but my god is he not scary in this film.
The makeup and his performance do the heavy lifting. The vfx are also much worse this time around.
I think what made the first film actually pretty good and worthwhile were the fact we were following children but aside from how good the performances are from the adult losers, the writing for them is so over the place.I don't particularly hate it chapter 2 but I am dissapointed in saying that I don't really like it anymore.
While it has some tonal inconsistentsy's
I still think this chapter of the losers is very strong.
It may not be as great as it could but i still think its underrated.
I hate the fact tho that they didnt totally reveal if richie was gay or not
I love the cast, and I hate the ending. I thought maybe I'd soften on it the second time around, but I truly hate the ending so much.
