IT Chapter Two is a bloated, three-hour sequel that fails to capture the magic of the first installment. The transition from children to adults doesn't add depth; instead, it highlights how dumb the characters' decisions remain decades later. Pennywise has lost his edge, trading genuine psychological horror for loud, repetitive CGI jump scares. Itβs a disappointing conclusion that feels far longer than its runtime.
