It: Chapter Two (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) [4K UHD]

A lot of the negative reviews I've read, I can't imagine they come from people who've actually read the book. And if you're not a Stephen King fan, why are you watching a Stephen King movie? One of the biggest complaints I've read is about the opening scene depicting a gay couple being attacked by a group of neighborhood thugs, ending with one of the gay men being thrown over the side of a bridge into the waiting clutches of Pennywise. For those claiming it is some abhorrent scheme of the directors/screenwriters/whatever to force modern, liberal, woke agenda down their gullet, again, have you read the book? It's literally the second chapter, the scene almost word for word how it was written nearly 40 years ago. The first chapter was the opening scene of the first movie, George being eaten by Pennywise which started It's cycle when the Losers were kids, and the second chapter was the opening scene for this movie, which started It's cycle 27 years later when the Losers return to Derry as adults. If there's anything shameful about it, it's only that 40 years later gay bashing is still considered by all to many as just good 'ol boys having a sporting good time.As for the profanity, if little kids being eaten by a monster is entertaining but a group of old friends' drunken reunion being too liberally sprinkled with the f-bomb for your delicate sensibilities, I'd say your priorities are way more concerning than the use of profanity in a scary movie.Another complaint I saw was that all of the scares were from things that have already been done before. Aside from just the obvious that there's only so many types of monsters, and so many ways to kill and terrify, etc, I think it was kinda intentional. It isn't as outspoken in the movie as it is in the book, but most all of the monsters whose form It took to terrorize the kids were classic horror movie monsters - for Ben it was The Mummy, for Eddie I think it was I Was A Teenage Werewolf, for Eddie Corcoran (whose story didn't make it into the movie) it was The Creature From The Black Lagoon. But in the book the Losers' childhood took place in the 50's so it made sense that those were the movies that they saw in theaters that terrified them. In the movie, the kids' part of the story took place in the 80's so borrowing from John Carpenter's The Thing and having Stan's head sprout spider legs and chase after them, makes sense, a lot more so than if they tried to use some of the classic horror movie monsters that made appearances in the book. It's reasonable to believe one of the kids saw The Thing and was scared out of their wits by it. So, I get it. I thought it was suitably creepy and a nice homage to one of my own favorite scary movies as a kid in the 80'sThat being said, if you liked the book and/or the original miniseries, it's definitely worth watching. Is it a perfect adaptation? No. But a flawless adaptation of book to film is one in a million so I didn't go into it expecting it to be perfect. Good script (in some ways less true to the spirit of the book than the original miniseries, but also a lot less cheesy too), good acting - I thought the choice of actors for each role was spot on, a lot of cool effects. It was good, I liked it. But I've always been a huge Stephen King fan and the horror genre in general has always been my absolute favorite so I'll admit some bias. Watch the movie and decide for yourself

Believe it or not I didn't rent this movie , my mom did . And it kreeped her the hell out of. lol. Don’t know why she ordered it , she saw a clown on the cover and thought it was a funny movie. lol. But afterwards I have seen the movie and I can’t say anything bad about it. It is a scary movie so please no one make the mistake my mom did.

Film is not as good as chapter one, possibly because the chemistry among the kid actors is much stronger than the adult actors.I already made a review on part one but didn't focus on the bonus features. Chapter One disc has four brief featurettes and no commentary. Chapter Two has a commentary track, and much longer featurettes, including one that probably should have been on Chapter One because it's focused just on the making of Chapter One. Extremely odd decision to me, though probably not an issue for a completionist who plans on owning both.Going on 5 years since the release of Chapter Two and no sign of a supposed alleged director's cut for both parts.

Man I've been dying to see this movie all year! After watching, and loving, the first one in 2017, I've waited oh so patiently for Chapter 2 to see how it ends. And after watching it, it was really good...but I don't think it's as good as the first one. If you've read the book or seen the tv miniseries, you know that this one takes place 27 years after the end of Chapter 1 where the grown-up members of the Losers Club return to their home town of Derry to confront their old nemesis It and end its reign of terror once and for all. I like who they got to play the adult Losers, with James McAvoy as Bill, Jessica Chastain as Beverly, and especially Bill Hader as Richie. But of course the real star is Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise. Unfortunately, like in the book, we don't get to see adult Stan very much since he kills himself early in the movie. Also I don't understand why in the first movie they changed Ben into the one who was obsessed with Derry's history, only for Mike to take the role in this one despite never showing interest in that from the beginning. Most of the problems I have with the movie is because of some of the pacing. The first half starts with the Losers quickly being summoned back to Derry and reuniting, then the second half is just made up of a lot of flashbacks to moments that we didn't see from the first movie set between the days after the Losers first confront It in that old house and the big showdown at the end of that movie. Those flashbacks where Richie, Ben, and Eddy are messed around by It just felt unnecessary and were just added to bring more scares. Plus Henry Bowers, who is technically the secondary antagonist, just didn't seem very necessary to be in the movie. Him being in the story didn't really contribute to anything. But despite most of my criticisms, this is still a good movie. There are good scares (do I have to mention the Funhouse scene), the special effects are great and creative, the acting is great, the characterization is great (including the subtle hinting of Richie being secretly gay is well done), and the third half is just b@lls to the wall insane I just love it! Overall IT: Chapter 2 is a really good movie, although I feel it's not as good as the first one. I'm not saying that the first one is completely perfect, but this one kind of pales in comparison. Still it's definitely one of the best movies of the year, and definitely better than that Pet Sematary remake.

Great movie
