Unlike the first film, the script was formulaic as can be. More so, the Cosmic Horror entity that is "It" is never explained. I almost put a spoiler tag on the following line because it's so true to the film: this film is a series of horrific events that aren't' tied together at all. X crazy thing happens. Y crazy thing happens. Z crazy thing happens. It's just a combination of unexplained but terrifying events that culminates in a haphazard, poorly-written ending. I don't think we need a chapter 2. If you're not going to explain the creature AT ALL (seriously, the first film did a better job explaining the creature, and it barely touched on the subject), then I don't know why this abysmal film is here. More so, the relationships between the characters were disgustingly forced, and the humor was poorly written, juvenile and out of place. Yes, I'm aware the budget was stellar, so giving this a 1 star might be a little mean, but we all expected the budget to be good, and the fact that everything else was bad (save the acting of a few characters), I can see no reason whatsoever for anyone, including fans of the first IT, to watch this film. If you're a fan of chapter 2, I can only ask - with all the sincerity in the world - why?
