When they’re all in the lake remembering Eddie and Richie starts crying and can’t even speak... That choked me up so bad.

To me the actor who played Eddie was just as fantastic as Hader was. In fact, their chemistry on screen carried this film. One thing I loved was how as their memories returned through the film, Richie would continue to make fun of Pennywise, his sayings, his dance, it was hilarious. And as for bound by his form: The choking worked b/c the form he took was a human leper, a human can be choked out. That's how Eddie was able to do it.

James McAvoy and Bill Hader definitely shined in this movie but I gotta say James Ransone as adult Eddie was PERFECT. He got Eddie's fears and mannerisms down so WELL. I also loved the hinted affection between Richie and Eddie, which made the ending hurt even more. The deaging they did on some of the kids was crazy obvious and took me out a couple of times. Overall the movie was great and I loved every minute of it

Honestly the most congruous adult/kid duo was Eddie, the adult actor blew me away

I can't remember the last time i was so heartbroken over a character death in a horror movie since Eddie. It helps that the characters are all so likeable and well developed instead of a typical group of horror protagonists that get killed off one by one, and seeing their reaction to Eddie getting stabbed was so heartbreaking. Loved this movie.

I feel like James Ransone as adult Eddie deserve more recognition for this movie. I had never heard of him before so he was new to me, but wow. Very funny and wonderful chemistry with the others. Not to mention the similiarities between him and young Eddie is spot on. He (and Bill) makes the ending just... ouch.

The jumpscare that was the most unexpected for me, was when young Richie sat at the park, then he turns and *boom* that statue is right in his face with the teeth and uggh i screamed in the cinema lol

Skaarsgard putting on his makeup scene was just straight up awesom and disturbing.

James Mcavoy is an amazing actor. A lot more humor than I expected. Really enjoyed the whole movie, enjoyed the small bit of lore we got. I don't know how they managed to create tension so well when we had just laughed at a joke. Skarsgaard killed it as Pennywise

Bill Hader & James McAvoy's performances are two of the best acting performances I've seen in a horror movie (along with Bill Skarsgard, who steals the show once again as Pennywise). Plus, the film stayed very faithful to the book (while also skipping over/ignoring certain aspects of the adult half that dragged on), while also adding stuff that wasn't in the book that was incredible (such as the girl under the bleacher, and the kid in the house of mirrors). Overall, I'd give it a 8.5/10. It's my favorite horror movie of the year, and along with Chapter 1, would likely be in my top 10 favorite horror movies of all-time list.

About the "he's bound by his shape but he's a shapeshifter" discussion at 22:45 : in the book the concept is more that he automatically appears in the shape each of the kids are afraid of and his appearance is not so much his own doing I think. That's why - when Richie and Bill go into the Neibolt house alone - Richie sees a werewolf while Bill sees the clown. IT is simultaneously both. The first time the kids manage to hurt IT is because, before the rest of the kids see him, Richie screams out "It's the werewolf!" and that makes all the others see him as a werewolf, too. They agree on a shape, and that's why the silver slug they made is able to hurt him. I know this concept is not airtight as IT does seem to have some control over his appearance, but that's what's meant by the boundaries of its shape I think. I also think the puppy was just a projection of IT, and killing it probably wouldn't have done much harm to IT

Don't get me wrong James McAvoy was great like he always is and Bill Hader definitely shined in this movie but I gotta mention James Ransone too, who was amazing as Eddie, he had Eddie down to a tea and it really was like watching grown up Eddie. Loved his and Richie's banter and scenes. Just Like in Chapter 1. I love all the losers and after Chapter 2 still do but Eddie and Richie where my favs from Chapter one and still are after chapter 2.

Absolutely balled my eyes out at Eddies death

The first homophobic beating scene actually terrified me more than everything else Also, didn't Pennywise's spider form remind you of the final form of Turbo in Wrack it Ralph?

My favorite parts -The the Paul.B scene scared the SHIT out of me -The Naked Grandmom was unexpected and scared my mom -Dirty Little secret -Mike lied -IT(Final Physical Form) -Bill skargurd scene -Mr.King himself -Funhouse scene -The note before Stanley kill himself -Stanley in the fridge referencing 1990 Mini Series Fun Fact:1990 through 2017 was 27 years 🎈

I liked how the actor that played young ben in the miniseries was in the office meeting for the introduction of older ben in this movie.

One of my first nightmares as a kid was getting chased/attacked by a clown in a funhouse. So.... that mirror scene was fun.

Pennywise represents all of their respective traumas that they never grew out of, though, it makes sense that even as adults they're not super ready to confront it ; that's the point of the whole story.

Bill and Beverly couldn't get together anyways, Bill was married.

When they said “bound by the laws of it’s shape” it essentially means if he turns into a werewolf, silver bullets can hurt him. If he turns into the wicked witch of the west, Water can injure him.

Everyone did an equally great job but yes Bill Hader stood out the most to me. He tugged at my heartstrings. The scene when he breaks down and the rest of the losers hold him was perfect

Yall see the Scorpion King, but as someone who never saw that movie, I see King Candy from Wreck it Ralph from the final battle of that movie.

Stephen king always tends to have a secondary human villain in his stories. He seems to like to add a realistic human cruelty/horror to them.

They did show a turtle in the classroom scene with Ben though.

That was one of the things I've been hearing... Bill Hader being awesome. You guys should check out Barry, reaction or no.

It’s goofy gory fun, more on the entertaining side less on the scares (still had a good 2/3 jumps though)

what it means by "he is bound by the form he takes" is that if he takes the form of a human, he is as powerful as a human. thats why he became a giant monster in the end. so the made him believe he was small and weak by belittling him. Because he believed he was small and weak he took the shape of something small and weak. His form dictates his power and his power dictates his form.

I always thought the clown was not to scare people but to lure kids in. Like he saw circuses and he saw kids going to see clowns and being really excited and figured he could take that form to get them to come closer after he's maybe scared them with forms more specific to each kid. Which is a reason I loved Richie's fears because his fear never really was clowns. His fear in the first movie was going missing and nobody noticing or caring and then you find out in the second movie his fear of being outed, both of which are fairly difficult to manifest (But i loved the closet behind the very scary door). They are just generally fears of abandonment, loneliness and rejection, which is why Pennywise always showed up as himself. Pennywise even said in the first movie, 'Beep Beep Richie' which is in reference to his jokes and his sense of humour and how that is a defense mechanism to keep people at arms length because if people dont get close then it doesn't hurt as bad when they leave. Richie is probably the best character in the movies for these reasons. anyway pennywise is cancelled bc he's a homophobe

I'm so glad you brought up the walking in the street thing!!!! it bugged me literally throughout the whole movie and you're the first other person I've seen notice it lmao. I also thought the romance between Beverly and Ben was a bit lacking, but they do have a lot more chemistry in the first movie, so maybe they just expected that to carry over??? idk. I'm also glad you talked about how well Richie's feelings for Eddie were played because I've seen so many reviews where they just skip over it and it's a darn shame, because Hader's acting in those scenes are phenomenal. All of the cast is so great, Mcavoy and Ransone in particular, and I also made the observation about Ben's eyes. I was dubious about his casting choice but then I saw his eyes and I was like "oh yeah, that's Ben", there's just something about them that's totally the same. anyway, this comment is already too long but good review guys lol.

I'll say this. If there's anyone who can make a live action Attack on Titan while being faithful to the source material it's Andy Muschetti.

9:05 I think there was a Pennywise the clown in Derry prior to IT taking on his now iconic form. I think Mr’s Kersh and Robert Bob Grey were actual citizens of Derry. I don’t think IT can create a form without basing it on something (whether it’s someone’s fear or the citizens of Derry).

I thin the CGI sort of works since pennywise is supposed to be "fake"ish but yeah definitely hard to not focus on it

its 27 years since the tv adaptation and both release dates ad up to 27 ...9.6.2019 which was intentional..thats how nmuch they went into details...crazy bastards :-)

Paul Bunyon took me by surprise in a huge way, because I never thought they would actually try to put that in the film.

You guys didn’t state how you felt about Stanley’s sacrifice! And his letter at the end 😭

7:05 I thought the same thing! I agree that it (hahah IT) felt more like a drama and it wasn't a standalone movie but I was super fine with it. But I also think I would enjoy the movie more if I watched both movies at once. I hope that the supercut will come out. That being said I still shed some tears during the final part of the movie.

I know your secret your dirty little secret

sorry but the spider really looked like what i wanted him to look like.... the effects were awesome....comparin it to the scorpion king is a low blow and not justyfied....they should have thought of the stay puffed marshmellow man instead...

When the footsteps happened. I thought straight away to Annabelle: Creation.

4:00 SAME! I specifically didn't watch that trailer but still saw it coming and yeah those footsteps were scary as hell lol

The rule is in relation to the form of takes. Eddie had figured out he could choke and almost kill the lepor.

what pennywise does is bringing out the fears and memories....he feeds on them. reflections in their heads that scare them...the panic in the mirror room was bill alone thinking of what could happen and it gets so strong for him that it materialises it...but we cant see thoughts...so the story teller has to describe or even materialise it to the viewer....description of a breakdown of fear living in each of us...but come to life to a degree....you gotta express it in order to know what it looks like and then find the right containment for it. its like goin crazy and someone records the nightmare you're goin through and uses it to taunt you...its not mindcontrol...its forcing the things that are inside you...i mean you're not under a spell as hypnotised but its transcended inbetween and you still are in control if you are strong enough and change it...like a lucid dream...thats why nightmare on elm street 5 was referenced.....the dream warriors

Loved your review/thoughts. I loved it. I haven't stopped thinking about it since, which is the sign of a good film. I can't wait to see it again (on 4K bluray though).

There is a movie called The Ritual ( I believe you can find it on Netflix) that I would encourage you guys to watch specifically because of the monster. Very Lovecraftian!

Penny wise is like Hannibal Lector. His penchant for whimsy and theatrics are the reason he gets beaten. If he would get to the point, he would be unstoppable, but he has to be a ham.

There were turtle easter eggs. There is toy turtle or turtle statue and supposedly the water at end is green because of the turtle. In other scenes it isn't green

I was wondering if Henry Bowers's cousin grew up to be one of the 2 gay guys in the beginnning of the movie.....or maybe that's a stretch

Way I understood the bound by the size of his from thing was that they couldn't strangle a massive spider. But they could strangle pennywise as himself or any other creature that would fit through the gap. So they just wanted him to get small enough to where getting a hold of him

I just want to write that my name is Josh and i want to write that the director Andy Muschietti said that he wanted to create an IT Supercut that would be the two IT films edited together with all the footage that was cut from the theatrical cuts. the running time of the IT Supercut would be 6 hours and 30 minutes. if this were to happen then they could make it available to stream on the streaming service HBOMAX..

Get ready Director Andy Muschietti Is actually planning doing an IT Chapter 1 & 2 Supercut along with Every Deleted & New Film Scene That Will Be Added. Also Both movies of the remake and second half of the movie they were filmed in Southern Port Hope Ontario, Canada, :) i'm soooo stoked for the supercut versions and said to be 6+ hours long!!! and the guy your talking about with the mullet is henry bowers

I always love listening to your thoughts on movies and shows because whatever they are are exactly what I thought but couldnt say!

its not just about the jumpsacres...its subtle...but you dont seem to care enough cause your overfed and indulge without chewing...eve just for this it delivered ..the timing was top notch...if you understand a bit of that ist really well done....best timing had sam raimi and muschietti is a huge evil dead fan....hence the eighties horror movies and even comics always had humor ...the timing in this one was excellent...is there something.? when does it p0p up? now? ok not now? now? boooom it hits really good i think...the most ones who got me was the ballon under the bed...you knew its coming...but when and what....and the best one also was the statue....how it came into the picture...i mean it was not just in your face...it was from a very uncanny and unexpected angle. and then it kept goin...i wonder why the movie wasnt shown in 3d....

IS THERE OR IS THERE NOT A COSMIC TURTLE?!

Ok very obvious question here but why did this time their attacks actually kill it? Like last time they fully believed that they were dealing damage and they fully believed they shot it in the head so why does crushing the heart have a stronger effect? Is it just the location or did the ritual make it vulnerable as the 3 lights were present this time?

Stephen king cameoed long before stan lee

I feel bad for that stakeboard kid, Pennywise killed him when adult Bill tried to save him in the funhouse. Stanley and Eddie dies. Pennywise on the top of Paul Bauyan and flew down to Richie, asked him "Street Fighter"?. So many red balloons.🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Stephen King cameo (reminds me of Stan Lee cameo in Marvel movies). A man scratched his face out when adult Beverly escaped from her old home. Henry said, "Here's Johnny" from the Shining. Ben in the locker with Pennywise. A big giant spider Pennywise. Georgie said, "You lied, I died!", that part is almost from the first one when Georgie said, "You'll float too!". The furtinue cookies. Mortal Kombat and Rampage cameo. Andy Muschiette cameo. Adult Henry stabs adult Eddie's face. Head Stanley spider. Adult Eddie and Richie finds a puppy and turned into a monster. Pennywise sharped adult Ben's stomach then Beverly breaks the mirror. The Losers club killed Pennywise to death.

9:10 you fuckin jumpscared with that shit *I HAVE IT FULL SCREEN GUYS C'MON*

Great review! I saw the movie during opening weekend. I also wish the ritual worked (I'm Native American btw) but I think using his own weapon of belief against him is equally powerful. The skinwalker part was awesome though. 🎈

he couldnt kill them cause they werent kids anymore...he tried but they overcome the fear and were harder to crack eventhough they went through alot again

The whole rules by the shape is like if Pennywise becomes a werewolf, he's weak to silver

How powerful is Pennywise ?

Bob Gray is the man who he was in the beginning and in the end the book implies he is actually a female

Finn wolfhard

You guys should react to the jojo rabbit trailer

I like the way the film decided to echo Steven King and have a terrible ending, its almost poetic.

Pennywise: YOURE FAT Ben: 💪 Pennywise: AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Anyone thought pennywise in the end fight looked like turbo tactic from wreck it ralph

I thought that kid on the skateboard was gonna get hit by a car too, and then Pennywise was gonna say from the sewer: "Couldn't save him either, you loser"😆😆😆

Can you maybe react on Mo Dao Zu Shi it's a series that I really enjoy and wish for you to take a look at. ☺️❤️

Awesome discussion.

i just saw the movie my god 😍😭😭😧

Pennywise is Lavos from Chrono Trigger #confirmed

Those footsteps got me bad too

i think the real people threatening somene rather than just own fears seeming to be real is more scary than a fictional clown....if you dont step up against a real bowers he will kill you. against the clown you can still say your'e not afraid...tell that to a real person who's gona stab you. always in horror movies ...kids and old women are the scariest me think....i mean i fear people more than specialeffects creatures in movies

When I went to the theater there was only 5 people counting use

Ricks beard game is strong 💪🏼

11:50 you guys sound like corridor crew

10:33 And you just ruined it for thousands of people.

You have to be kidding if you honestly didn't notice the CGI used on the kids. It got to be so hard not to notice. Especially when they altered their voices to sound like in the first. Definitely took away from the film.

One of the best few GOOD reviews, I've view so called best reviewer here in YT, and they sucks. They didn't even understand this adult version thing 😡 I hope you guys made this when you all there talking like the first one you had in the past ☕ I am not used to watching you guys just two there.

This movie was fucking horrifying to me

What the hell happened with Titans please fix it blind wave
