Watched this last night as part of a double bill with the first one and I loved it! Amazing from start to finish. Much better than chapter 1 which was already a fantastic film and very hard to beat.
I was very sceptical about chapter 2 as it would focus on the Losers when they're older. I really loved the child performances in part 1 so I had strong doubts that the adult actors could match them, but boy, how wrong was I. The adult actors did a phenomenal job, equally matching (and in Bill Hader's case surpassing) their child counterparts. It also helps that they all looked like the kids. Adult actors nowadays rarely look like the child actors they play in films.
I was shocked by
Bill Skarsgard was astonishing, much better than his first appearance and way, way creepier, sinister and evil. He really should be nominated for an Oscar.
The ending was sweet, although I would've preferred
Overall, I give this 9.5/10. Gonna watch this again next week.
