It: Chapter Two is seriously impressive horror on one hell of a scale! Read more

IT: Chapter Two is full of terrifying creature designs and top tier performances. Director Andy Muschietti has made the largest and weirdest horror film to date that proves the genre's ability to capitalize on a larger budget and cast.

That is a testament to Skarsgård’s powerful, chilling performance. Read more

IT: Chapter Two upholds the quality of the original. Not without flaws, but also unlikely to have you looking at your watch, this is a fun, freaky, popcorn horror. Read more

An excellent horror but suffers from a hefty running time. Read more

It Chapter Two successfully crafts a narrative showcasing a dual portrayal of captivating characters whilst unleashing its fun-house of frights to keep audiences palms sweating and nerves shredded. Read more

There is no doubt in my mind that Andy Muschietti’s follow-up to IT, his brilliant coming-of-age horror film, is a meandering and bloated sequel with tonal issues. But I also do think that the film mostly overcomes its many issues to ultimately be a quite moving sequel with great performances and memorable and frightening imagery. Read more

It Chapter Two is definitely a more accomplished piece of work. Muschietti still doesn’t conjure up the dread or tension we’ve come to associate with the genre, but his vision is inventive, and the strong performances ensure that the film steers well clear of the sewers. Read more

It Chapter Two is a decent enough follow-up to its predecessor, but unfortunately not one that lives up to its potential, nor reaches the heights of primal dread previously induced. Read more

It is a tepid, derivative end to a second chapter that did not feel that much different from the first. Read more

IT Chapter Two is a compelling and satisfying ending to Stephen King's story, even if it's not quite as charming or scary and feels a bit overlong. Read more

If it is a funhouse you’re looking for, then It: Chapter Two may excite just as much as its predecessor. Muschietti clearly cares about how scenes are crafted and blend into an experience of bumps and jumps. But even the jump scares are bland. The imagery is less gripping. And you won’t be presented with much more than this mechanical funhouse. Read more

The cast is excellent and the episodes although inherently disjointed are good enough to sufficiently entertain throughout. It’s not a great horror film in my book – I actually enjoyed Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark far more – but worth a watch. Read more

It Chapter Two is an ugly, big budget, overproduced slog of a movie. It’s ugly in terms of its storytelling, cartoonish CGI, and especially its horrendous script. That being said, there’s still a small amount of good that keeps this film from being a total disaster. There’s some good acting and some fun moments with Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise. Read more

It Chapter Two contains plenty of exciting, almost comically appalling stuff, but it’s heavily fortified by recurring, familiar material as well. Read more

Amping up the cheap laugh factor, It: Chapter Two often comes off like a parody of the first movie, the Scary Movie to the 2017 film's Scream. Read more

Ondanks de luxueuze speeltijd blijft de spanning op niveau. De naargeestige horrorscènes worden dit keer voorzien van een kosmische dimensie en Skarsgård heeft weer zichtbaar plezier in zijn rol als de gemene clown. Read more

Er wordt zowel door de volwassenen als door de tieners bijzonder goed geacteerd, met uiteraard Bill Skarsgård op kop als een uiterst angstaanjagende Pennywise. Qua sfeer zit het goed en de horror is overvloedig aanwezig zonder al te bloederig te worden. Read more

De langdradige film werkt dankzij de connectie die de kijker heeft met de personages en de chemie tussen de Losers' Club. Read more

It Chapter Two raakt direct vanaf de eerste minuut de juiste toont, maar lost de verwachtingen niet helemaal in. Read more

Belangrijker dan de warboel van een verhaal is de chemie tussen de leden van de Losers Club, die ook bij de volwassenen aanwezig blijkt. Read more

It Chapter Two lost de hoge verwachtingen na het sterke eerste hoofdstuk door een matige finale niet volledig in. De film opent sterk als Pennywise na 27 jaar weer voor dood en verderf zorgt in Derry, waarbij het fijn is dat de film trouw is gebleven aan het boek. Read more

It: Chapter Two is zeker geen grote teleurstelling, maar weet niet de mokerslag die het eerste deel was te evenaren. De prestatie van Skarsgård en de getrouwheid aan het boek, alsook de vele easter eggs, zijn genoeg om de film te redden en de saga op een waardige manier af te sluiten...

Het vermaak komt dan ook voort uit de momenten dat Pennywise of één van de afzichtelijke vormen die het monster aanneemt ten tonele verschijnen. Deze momenten gaan vaak gepaard met een aantal goede ‘jump scares’, overtuigende visuele effecten en bloederige beelden.

IT Chapter 2 is een afkooksel van zijn voorganger. Een typische horror-blockbuster die zoveel mogelijk zielen naar de bios wil brengen (en geld binnen te rijven) zonder echt angstaanjagend te zijn. Spijtig. Read more
