IT: CHAPTER TWO ($91 Million Opening Weekend)

[Horse Style]

Honestly, while watching it I never caught any gay vibes. Maybe I'm a homophobe.

Spoiler

The way he asked the boy to play another game was the way you'd see a shy boy ask a girl he likes to do something together. The boy's reaction made me wonder "wait, are they implying?"

Then when Pennywise says he knows his secret, I'm like "hold on, is Richie supposed to be in the closet?"

At the end when we see he's been carving "R + E" in the wood, I was like

The guy who played Eddie was awesome and I was distracted for the whole movie trying to figure out where I knew him from. It's Ziggy from The wire

 

[syct23]

Dude...the first part changed almost everything too. These movies have been faithful in spirit but aren't direct adaptations at all. Very few of the scenes are actually from the novel.

The joke was about the ending, a long time criticism of much of Kings work, and not just the "second part".

No,

Everyone loved the end of the original movie.

The joke was about the book...

 

[HunterAcosta]

Will stream on the netz.

LOL. People HATED the ending of the Tim Curry movie. They thought the spider was lame and stupid.

I literally told you the joke was about the book, and its a criticisms given to King on several occasions.

You replied but pretty much avoided my biggest point. It Chapter One changed everything up as well. Almost nothing in the movie is from the books.

Nope,

Spoiler: Spoiler

everybody loves the spider in the original,

They loved it so much that they kept it in the new movie and made it even more awesome.

They loved the spider so much that they even gave it two cameos, as a cut off head and as pennywise.

The only thing people didn't like was the bike ride at the end..

lol. Jeebus christ. Youre delusional. "Only thing people didnt like". It barely breaks 60% on the FAN reviews of RT:

Everyone knew the end sucked, because the end to the book is widely criticized and the end of the series was a direct adaptation, just without all the internal monologues that are the only thing that make the book ending even approach a lick of sense.


Heres one of the original reviews:

In addition to It‘s slow pace, I found the ending a big letdown

Also, even Curry says the ending sucked:

I hope they make the ending better because on [the TV version], I turned into some kind of giant spider and it was not very scary.”

The spider head was an homage to The Thing. Which is why Richie says the exact same line.


Just stahp it now.

 

[Fugazy]

Never got round to watch the first one, so had to watch that this weekend before going to see the new one in the cinema.

MY GOODNESS. What a garbage little film!!! It was more of a children's adventure movie....

Bet the same people fanboying these films are the ones loving the likes of Stranger Things. Weirdos.

Stranger Things is 10x better

I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about,

You shouldn't be basing anything on Rotten Tomato... Just go by word of mouth, everyone I've ever talked to loved the spider ending both in the original and new..

You never hear "this is my favorite character", nope. All you ever hear about is the spider..

 

[volodya]

Lol wtf

[Hans Gercmiov]

Does it have that part in it where Beverly goes to her old house and some old chick lives there and she starts talking about how her dad was a Nazi or some shit? I haven't read the book in forever but I remember that part giving me goosebumps.

Right. We should base everything on word of mouth. Not just word of mouth, but only the word of mouth of syct23. Not everyone who I ever met that says the ending of the original was garbage.

The scene is still there. Heavily changed from the book, but it's still one of the best scenes in the movie. Probably one of the best from either film.

I'd allow it...

 

[TKing]

When they were in the clubhouse as kids, that scene was super distracting due to the de-aging CGI looking super off.

 

[Plissken]

I've only seen clips of the scare scenes, but it makes the movie look outlandish/cartoonish, without subtlety. Even taken out of context or that being a small part of it doesn't make it look good, at least in my eyes. The tv movie had over the top parts as well, but I got a different vibe from the clips of the new one (the heavily filtered, very fake looking digitized look doesn't help; I hate blanket digital color filters, Del Toro overuses them as well). I can't judge the film without seeing it (IT) but I can't say I'm as hopeful as I was before seeing the clips.
Maybe it's just that the general idea of IT is better than the book, or films. I remember my mom describing the ideas and some parts of the book to me when I was a child and my imagination creating something fantastic and then when I finally read the book years later I was so disappointed.

 

[llperez22]

loved the first one so i had very high expectations. Have to say I wasnt blown away. Still a good film. The scares should be even more scary then they are, but king writes some weird shit so the scares get distracted by the storyline. I mean we are talking about a creepy ass clown killing children. Thats the stuff of nightmares right there. But instead we spend lots of time with weird indian rituals and kids playing in an underground hideout and spider creatures etc...

 

[Streeter]

Better than first I thought

 

[dawnignited]

I did enjoy the movie overall. The acting was easily the main selling point for me and the first hour was pretty damn engaging.

That said, WTF was up with the choice of putting in Angel of the Morning for those three seconds during the projectile vomit scene?
