Summary

We went to see Chapter Two of Stephen King’s IT, and we were both kind of underwhelmed. We were both fans of the first installment, but unfortunately the great acting and interesting characterizations are undermined by hokey horror sequences and what feels like a lot of recycled material from Chapter One. We think it’s an okay film, not a very effective horror movie, and with the cast and material that’s pretty surprising. We’ll be back in a few weeks to take on Ad Astra (and Cecily and I will be sneaking in a review of the Downton Abbey movie), see you then!

0:00.0	New Epic eats banging barbecue from McCoy's. Fire up your taste but with a blend of
0:06.9	smoky sweet and subtle spice. Epic flavor, epic crunch, epic eats, because only the real McCoy's tastes like the real McCoy's.
0:20.0	Hey everybody, welcome to another first-run bald movies. it's been just a minute it feels like
0:25.2	Jim since we've done one of these tonight we saw chapter two of it we never actually got around to
0:30.4	reviewing it prime I don't think I thought you incessantly did either for the
0:34.6	spookacular or for I thought so too but we tried to find it last night and
0:38.3	couldn't maybe we just talked about it on a lunch or something I know you guys saw it but I know you hadn't seen it until just this week right?
0:45.0	Yeah. So you were probably a lot more up on what was going on coming in this movie.
0:50.8	Just real quick what did you think of the first one?
0:53.6	Chapter 1, did you like it? Yeah I really like the first one. I didn't think it was
0:57.3	scary but I'm not sure it's supposed to be more more like psychological horror than than really scary horror.
1:05.9	Yeah, I mean I thought the and of course I'm a bit tender of heart on horror than you are but I thought the first half of that film was scary the second half like once the kids like banded together and started
1:17.4	defeating it like it rapidly lost its tension but it's you know I thought an effective film, and now this one comes out, and it's essentially
1:26.5	27 years later, it has come back, and the adults now once again stand together to beat this cosmic horror back.
1:36.0	Jim, what did you think of it chapter two?
1:39.0	Well, it's not 27 years later for me.
1:41.0	It's one night later, about 27 hours later for me. It's one night later. And I feel like I watched the same movie twice.
1:48.2	I don't think it, Chapter 2, did enough different to warrant its existence.
1:54.0	Look, I know this is the second half of a truly monstrous,
1:58.0	enormous book by Stephen King, 1100 plus pages.
2:02.0	I felt like it was overly long, too many flashbacks, that there was some
2:07.8	good comedy, the casting is impeccable. Yeah. And they really went all out on the the CGI budget, but I don't know that it really did them many favors. I thought it was okay, not not good or great.
