Didn't think much of the first movie myself, almost anytime the Clown appeared it was punctuated by a loud noise to try and get a jump scare and it got old fast.

The more you seen of the Clown the less dangerous\scary he seemed, I think they gave him too many scenes where he was in full view and it just got goofy looking after a while. Plus he had too much to say which again made him less threatening, just go for the kill instead of talking people to death. In some scenes the voice reminded me of Yoda, particularly the first killing scene with Georgie

Had they done a few killings with a fleeting glimpse and and built him up it may have been more effective, for a time at least. Maybe if they kept only his eyes visible during the first killing in the sewer it would have been a better build up to the reveal of the Clown.

To what are you referring to, the book or the 'miniseries'?

Both have their flaws, like in the book where the kids have a big gang bang with bev.

LOL, i think red letter media mentioned that in their review of the first part, isn't the premise of that they get lost and think that because they are virgins they cant find their way out, then the little fat kid is the "biggest" of the lot of them? Wonder wtf King was smoking when he came up with that.

The clown was too slapstick, it just didnt seem scary at all it just got slapped about a lot after the first kill lol.

The only thing this movie had in terms of scares was that annoying jump scare noise anytime it appeared, besides that the more you seen of the clown the stupider it looked and less threatening it was.

This film was all kinds of bad. It's like a repeat of the first one. It's not scary at all (in fact it's silly with many people laughing at what i think were meant to be scary scenes), boring, too long and just wish i hadn't bothered. Worse than the first by a long shot. 3/10. Could have been ~30 or more minutes shorter.

@SixTwoSix you're watching the wrong horrors if you think this is better than most of the releases in the past two years! Wowza.

Been trying to figure out why the adults would even be afraid of pennywise when they essentially bitch slapped the **** out of him at the end of the first movie as kids. Probably wait til its available "digitally" to see it.
