Horrific padding to create two full-length features

For a film billed as smart horror, it seems this was an endless parade of spoken dialogue, filmed in safe "shot-reverse shot" manner. That's how the director chose to unpack the story. With a jump scare added in every fifteen minutes, hitting the required beats. The trailer promised intensity, insanity and gore. The film did not deliver any of these. It simply was not there.
Quick-cuts in this sequel with the 'young' charaters also covered all plot points from the original... making the first film basically irrelevant.

PEOPLE SHOULD READ THE SOURCE MATERIAL BEFORE COMPLAINING THAT AN ADAPTATION IS ANYTHING EXCEPT CORRECTLY DONE.

How is it "correctly done" if I stated the second movie retreaded through all the flashback scenes so much so that the original film was not needed??? Did Stephen King write a pair of books titled** IT**, and the second retreaded through the plot of the first???

It's called cashing in on a sure bet. Maybe you had higher expectations than you would have had if it just played or streamed on television. Trailers often portray movies as something other than they are. I wouldn't expect intensity insanity and gore as Steven Kings main points But if you didn't like it you didn't like it. King has lots of stories and books that could have been made into movies instead. Is IT3 coming next? Now that's scary.

I actually couldn't remember Chapter One too much so @volkstraum is right, in that it wasn't really necessary given how much flashback scenes there were in this one.
I did prefer Chapter Two though over the first one.

I also thin the first is a legit great film. Shame all the talent in the second one didn’t result in even a good film. Major disappointment

I think it would have benefited both movies if they had stuck to the original structure of the miniseries and should have put like in the miniseries the older versions of our main characters receiving the call and having the flashbacks in the first movie this would also make the movies feel more connected plus the impact of certain things would be bigger as well as building up more Tension the final scene after our main characters defeat It for the first time and the resurfacing of Henry Bowers (from Chapter Two) should be Stan getting the phone call and writing It on the bathroom wall as cliffhanger.But I understand why they went the way they did they first had to prove that an It movie would be financial viable before getting the funding for Chapter 2 so they focussed on making the two halves more separate stories.
