I mean yeah, were there plot holes in this? Sure, absolutely (my god, towards the end of the movie where the jail scene was taking place, I literally was eye rolling and getting so annoyed at how over the top it was the entire time), however did it detract my enjoyment of the film? No, I very much was enthralled with the movie from start to finish. I think the biggest jump scares/thrills (as it wasn't necessarily a jump scare in the traditional terms) was the first and biggest being when she poured the paint on him and finally for the first time seeing she is not crazy. Sooooooo extremely well done there, I literally JUMPED off my seat at that. And of course the other being when he slashed the sister's throat in the restaurant, that wasn't so much jump worthy but more "wtf" and slick (of course, the big argument I literally said when it happened was yeah, he's invisible but he's not "untouchable". So you mean to tell me in that packed place that A). Not ONE person bumped into him, I mean he's not the biggest whipped dude in the world but in that suit he's a pretty big build, it seems weird that a waiter/waitress or a busier or hell even a patron wouldn't have bumped into him; and B). when the knife was in mid air before it struck, not one person would have seen it? Again, some would just negate it, but realistically I feel like a knife in mid air in a packed place like that would attract SOMONE's attention. I mean there was a table right next to them, if I was sitting there I DEF would have noticed an airborne knife 2 feet away from me).
With that said, yes there are many flaws and many eyeballs, but hey I appreciate the story and what the director did here. Created huge fucking suspense (not just physically but mentally, the biggest for me to grapple was, was it all "real", or was it all in her mind? The film really made you guess a long time which it was, which I really loved). I'd give this an A, 8.8/10

Sure, sounds entertaining. To be clear, it’d presumably be movie-related and no porn (random strangers mailing me porn would concern my wife), right?

We will set ground rules.
I’m very dissapointed.

Nice! This is one of the few films this year I wanted to check out. Heard it got rave reviews, so it’s also nice it’s making that dough.

Great choices. There used to be @K1stpierre. Not sure if she is still active. But definitely diversity is good.
Ola 🙂
I come on from time to time, but to be fair I hardly am on like I used too due to having a new life with my bf and also with work. 😕
If there ever comes a point where you feel you need someone to step down (due to too many mods) feel free to demote me. I honestly understand as I know I don’t come on here as I used too.🙂
Hope all mods have been good! I see new faces, to that I say hello 🙂

Nice! The numbers so far seem to be a step behind Part 1, but that is to be expected. I’ll be happy with an even in the 90’s, though would really like that 100+.
-
I won’t over repeat, see my comment It2 thread. I really liked this over part 1, gave this a 8.5/10. B rating.
-
I think this def crosses 100M.
-
Oh also, I don’t get the beef people have with the flashbacks. I adored all the memories and moments. It had meaning to the adults then.

Just leaving viewing. My first impression thoughts are that I overall liked this film more than the first one. I think they brought a bit more of horror/scares that work vs the first one. I disagree to these people that say pennywise isn’t in it enough, I thought it was the right amount (coming from someone whose read the book). I guess to the casual fan you expect it, but from the source material he’s in it just right, they even added more scenes for pennywise that wasn’t in the book.
I really loved all the adult cast. Like seriously thought this is the best a movie has done when it comes to child into adult transformation actors/actresses. You just felt that these guys are EXACTLY the kids. Just how they look and act. Unlike some critics, I felt the bond just like the first film. I felt the emotion. I don’t want to give anything away but I felt the bond betweeb two pairs, especially one of them. I really liked how the film teased a certain personal drama, but never made anything big about it. Not until the end.
The cgi I am for the most part cool with. Sure, some scares were random and not really necessary. However I was good and thought it was an improvement.
With that said, for gripes: to be honest I didn’t feel the run time long at all. I swear, not once did I look at my cell to check the time. I was so absorbed in the story of the characters. I think one character I guess could have beeb taken out of the story, and really wouldn’t have changed too much. In the book, this character really didn’t make a whole difference, you’ll know I think once you have seen the movie. My biggest gripe though is the end battle. I do love how the movie jokes about it a lot in hints. Very clever. Does make it feel a bit better. However......yeah, I found it lame. I appreciate I guess some weird sense what they were trying to do, but I would of they try to stick to novel material and perhaps with real prostetics. It just didn’t sit well with me.
Other than that, nothing right now jumos at me. I’d rate this a strong mid B, 85/100. It’s definitely a step above the first for me, which I now is of the rare.

this was awesome. starts off a little slow in the first act but once it takes off it goes crazy good. especially those last 40 minutes which were totally insane. the kids were in it in a bigger portion than I expected which was really nice. Bill Hader stole the show. 8/10
they really upped their budget with this one and it shows
I think it will connect well with the GA even with the excessively long runtime cus the payoff is so great at the end. should do 600M+ WW ig
28 minutes ago, Noctis said:I honestly loved this. This and its predecessor truly feel like one of the very few horror movies that can legitimately be called epic. For such a long movie, I thought it moved by quite fast but it could have been trimmed down a bit. The cast is perfect (with the MVP being Bill Hader) and the last act is just so goddamn satisfying. Catharsis is so rare in horror movies because they usually end on either such a depressing or stupid note and often they just discard the characters for the sake of cheap thrills.
It and It 2 are the gold standard for horror movies IMO...the characters and stories, not the scares, take center stage. Congratulations to everyone involved in the making of these films...they will undoubtedly become classics and essential viewing for anyone who likes horror. The friendships in these movies are honestly some of the most endearing in cinema (and they are easily the most thoughtful and engaging characters in horror).
Great effort.
In both your opinions, where the creepy/scare scenes better? Also was Pennywise in it less/same/or more than Part 1? This seems to be one of the areas where legit EVERY review keeps going back and forth. Half say it’s less scary, half say holy crapped they upped the scares! Half say Pennywise was in it less, half say he’s in it more. I’ve never seen reviews so conflicting as this.
Also visuals, a lot of people are also tossed on visuals. That was a huge gripe with me on Part 1. Are they better in this? (I heard the budget for this was waaaaay higher, so glad to hear WB upped it).
-
It Part 1 would of been a legit A+ movie for me had it just been a story about a coming of age story with the kids, which is part of what It is. However It is also about the scares and creeps, which the movie completely botched.
-
Glad to see this is still at 85%, I’m suspecting it’ll finish at around 65-75%.
I’m one of the few that was not a hardcore fan of the first one. My grade for the first one was a C+, biggest complaints being the horrible use of CGI, not letting Skarsgard do his own thing, and just some weird wtf moments like the pennywise dancing scene. The first was just overall not scary or even creepy enough. Hoping Part 2 changed that.

😍😍😍

You both should, it's not the same level as IM1 or GOTG, but it's still fun and has great performances from Brie Larson, SLJ, Ben Mendelsohn and from the flerken Goose/Chewie.
Oh yes! Saw GOTG as well, that actually might be my fav marvel film. Can’t believe I forgot that one.
Well if we did won’t be soon. He’s in bulgaria now for a year and a half 😕

Yes. Have you seen it yet?
Naw, really the only marvel films I’ve seen are Iron man 1, avengers 1, thor 3, black panther, captain america civil war, avengers infinity war, and then this one. My bf who loves marvel didn’t see captain marvel and after endgame probably won’t.

I also went AWOL for a while if you remember, Brie Larson brought me back permanently this year.
Speaking of I am only here for CM's number. Where is it?
Captain Marvel I’m assuming? I have no clue 😶
-
I’m not a huge Marvel fan really. So this film was eh for me.
However I’m rooting for this to beat Avatar for two reasons: 1. For numbers sake; 2. Because I’ve always viewed Avatar so over-rated it’s not even funny. Marvel at least deserves to reign over it after the years they’ve spent building up to it.

This weekend seems to be bringing everyone out to this forums again.
Great to see you here again Kelli, it's been long time no see.
I HAD to come here after seeing these numbers. A shame I wasn’t able to be here more for it like I used too. However I had to literally work three straight doubles in a row: friday 16 hours, sat 14 hours, and sunday 11.5 hours 😭😭😭
It feels great to be here though. Sorry for lack of posts, I got busy with life for both work but also good reasons. 🙂

I’ve been away from this site for awhile due to life reasons, but I agree with these sentiments. We’re like....witnessing fucking history of box office here guys. Take it all in.
