  Great job turning this deeply idiosyncratic, sprawling story about collective trauma and history into Serious Beetlejuice.

  It was very surreal to see a 3-hour movie where a bunch of adults gets together to verbally bully a little clown.

  Every scene in It Chapter 2:

  Person walks into empty room

  *Scary music*

  Suspense escalates

  They reach for the door

  *BIG SCARY MUSIC STING*

  There's nothing there

  "Oh, thank god, it's nothing. I'll just turn around now"

  GROSS MONSTER RIGHT BEHIND THEM AHHHHH

  Bloated but thoroughly entertaining. Mind blowingly perfect casting for what is effectively a retelling of the first movie but with slight twists here and there, the repitition of the structure may be tiresome to some (I certainly noticed it but they were mostly creative enough to keep me engaged). 

  The film is carried by a entourage of genuinely interesting, layered, believable characters who all feed in to the overarching message of the movie that tells us to not let our past trauma and grief hold us back and define who we are. Just about every performance is on point, aside from a totally unnecessary resurgence of the bully character from the first part who could easily have been cut from…

  Review by alejandro ½ 8

  for a movie that jokes about stephen king having shitty endings and everyone criticizing the original for having a shitty ending they made a bold choice by making the entire thing shitty

  Review by Lucy ★★★½ 7

  “if you believe it does”

  a lot like the first one in tone to a fault, the patterns growing a little old. it feels less impactful this time around. but still so well made and genuinely scary (also, i cried) so i can’t be too critical

  Review by nick wibert ★½ 19

  It’s jaw-droppingly bad.  I mean that literally.  There were at least two instances where my jaw dropped in complete disbelief of some of the things this movie did.  When you get to the scene where “Angel of the Morning” starts blasting out of nowhere, you’ll know what I mean.

  I wish I were exaggerating, but this is so much worse than I could have possibly imagined.  Hader and Skarsgård are the only parts of this movie that I could say I like, and even then, they’re working with such shit material that it’s just sad to see them desperately trying to make it work.

  You may want to take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I didn’t like the first one much at all either... but compared to the sequel, I think it’s amazing.
