IT's (see what I did there...) unlikely to feature in my top 10 for the year. Was it scary? Not really. I've been more scared by Dr Who (that Jon Pertwee one with the maggots terrified me as a kid, and the more recent one with the gas masks... shudder), but I'm not a horror fan, so that didn't really bother me. Was it over-long? yeah, but I wasn't looking at my watch. With a big ensemble cast, it's bound to go long if you want to give everyone a fair crack of the whip. Is Jessica Chastain still hot? Absolutely! Did I like the flashbacks? No. It felt like "we just thought of this cool plot twist, so we better put in a flashback to make it look like it was there all along". Did they kill IT in the end? Dunno, I had to pee. But it probably depends more on box office returns than plot. (Chapter 3: "ITS"...?) Did it move me to read the book? No. Will I buy the blu ray? Umm... if the iTunes download is 4k, and the extras are decent, and it gets a good discount, maybe. For completeness, you understand.
"I.T. Chapter 2: Georgieeeee turn it off and on agaaaain..." 6/10
