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?

My go-to entertainment is a beautifully written, poignant story that speaks of our shared experience as a part of this crazy thing called "humanity"... yeah, this is not that story. This is a carefree story, featuring a lot of hot girls who bounce their tata's around without bras on. But yeah, this time around, this is exactly what I wanted it watch.

I've tried a couple fanfare shows in the past. I was always disappointed because the base story was so full of holes and made so little sense, it would bring me out of the part I wanted to get immersed in (sexy scenes with beautiful women). I don't need a story that will blow me away, but I do need it to make sense so I can pretend a man would really find himself in such ludicrous, albeit sexy, scenarios. This show has little to no holes, AND does a terrific job of catering to a man's baser instincts. So yeah, I won't be recommending to my friends (because they would die of shock), but since you're here looking at reviews, I will be recommending it to you.

10/10.

I like most of my entertainment to be incredibly deep and powerful... this is not that entertainment. This is the entertainment I can't help but watch because it satisfies all my fantasy itches. I'd definitely recommend if you like the first episode... and if not, I definitely would not recommend. More of the glorious same after that.

To be honest, I didn't care too much about Karate Kid way back in the day. It was a cool flick and a feel-good movie, but it lacked any real depth from my perspective. I thought going into this that the story would be about Daniel Larusso... but it's not at all. Daniel is arguably the fourth main character. The leading role is Johnny, the villain in the original Karate Kid. The story is incredibly humorous and fun. The fight scenes are actually really quite good (they get your heart racing). I love Johnny in this. Truly not what I expected at all... but much much better.

I'm a huge fantasy fan, but I thought the idea of this film sounded a little silly. It isn't. It's what the fantasy world of Lord of the Rings looks like 10,000 years later. What a cool concept. Great film. Highly watchable. Main Orc Cop was hilarious. Fun story. The elf girl plot was a little weak, but all in all, I have to give it a 10 because of how I felt watching it. I'm rarely entertained from start to finish, but this one was awesome.

Since Berserk blasted its way to the top of the charts, there hasn't been a halfway decent fantasy anime out there... not until The Rise of the Shield Hero. This show excels at the fantasy setting. It's both fun, lighthearted and cheery, as well as dark, brooding and intense. After Berserk, been searching for a replacement fantasy anime series for the past 10 years. This is it. I'm impatiently waiting the next episodes. Well done, guys.

I really like RBG. She was my second favorite justice behind Kennedy... but wow. This was just so boring and obviously politically biased. Everything RBG does is apparently gold... also, was it just me or was Cathy Bates character very weird?

These people's "view" is the most bias hunk of **** I've ever watched. I cannot believe people on the left or right watch this junk. It's shameless bullying designed to get democrat voters. As an independent, I'm disgusted.

God, how do people watch this crap? Seriously, I made it two seasons and I hate it. Be a frigging man!

I didn't expect the humor in this film. It's ridiculously dark, and yet, profoundly relatable. It's now my favorite survival film of all time. Definitely recommend.

It's nice to see an alcoholic kicking butt. Haven't seen something this good since I played Max Payne on PC. It's a good movie with a solid plot. Good feels. Es bueno.

The acting is terrific. The budget is incredible. I totally totally get why there are fans of this show... that said, for all my long-standing love of Kevin Spacey, I'm not. Here's the thing, the characters on this show are totally unrelatable. They're legitimately evil. I don't want to put too fine a point on it or give anything away, but I had a hard time being invested in the problems of someone that, if he went to prison for the rest of his life, it would closely resemble justice.

Wow. People watch this? Really? It's literally watching a bunch of uninformed but semi-famous people spout their opinions like fact. Trash from the first episode to the last. If I wanted to watch uninformed has-beens talk rubbish, I could take a seat at the local Starbucks and people watch.

Rick and Morty was awesome before this episode - we all know this. The thing is, up until this point, most of the episodes, while incredibly clever were self-contained. This episode is where it all changes. Things come back around from earlier in the show, and I can say for certain as someone who knows, things will never be the same.

It took me four times to get through the first episode it was so boring. That said, once I started caring about the characters at around episode five or so, the show was actually pretty decent. It tends to be very slow for a while and then picks up dramatically at the end of the season. People compare this to Breaking Bad and honestly, I don't see it. Breaking Bad had a lot of realism, but it didn't sacrifice the story for it. The wire is as real as it gets, and lord if it doesn't feel like I'm actually working as a cop trying to bring these drug dealers down, from Barksdale to Marlow. The only problem is I'm not getting paid for it. Now, calling The Wire the most overrated show on television doesn't mean it's not good. It was mostly worth a watch, but it's not even close to being on the same level as some of the other shows out there. Breaking Bad, the 4400 and several other shows are leagues away from the wire. But hey, go ahead and watch it. With all the publicity you might wind up convincing yourself that it is the greatest show ever and become one of the countless wire nuts out there.

Okay, I don't know all the shows that Jim Nash (who is hilarious by the way) talks about. The American horror one was pretty bizarre because I learned that the team that did that also did Glee which is one of the worst shows that has ever stained television with its awefulness. Still, the insight that you get into how all these shows are made, and seeing how the teams and the lead actors think about some of the main characters on television is worth it in itself. I have nothing but praise for this show, and I've watched every episode except the sons of anarchy one because I don't want it ruined for me! The only complaint I have, which is pretty minor, is that there are too many commercial breaks. It seems like they break away every minute for a commercial - but then Jim Nash has to make some money somehow!
