Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, “IT Chapter Two” brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film.

'Balloonatic' director Andy Muschietti blood is up for his second stab at a story about Stephen King's murderous clown Pennywise - he whacks on an extra 34 minutes of running time, with no overall increase in quality, for a hugely self-indulgent effort.

Really enjoyed both IT movies but Chapter 2 was way too long. Most of the flashbacks could have been left out or put in Chapter 1. However, I still really enjoyed the story of the adult counterparts taking down the clown once and for all and I even cried at the end, if you know why. The CGI was a little off putting in places but try to look past it to enjoy the story. Overall, really great sequel with a great cast, just overly long.

I chose to rent this title rather than purchase, and I'm glad I did. It's OK, however, maybe it's my current state of mind or perhaps the memory of the 1999 Tim Curry original that's soiling my experience. All I know is that it's just OK.
