The first batch of reviews for ItChapter2 are in. Here's what the critics have to say:

John DeFore wrote that the story should have been told in a miniseries format due to its episodic structure. "The series grows monotonous and fails to generate an escalating dread," he wrote in his review. While DeFore praised Hader's scene-stealing performance, he said that the older cast lacked the chemistry of the younger cast from the first film, though the original cast appears in flashbacks throughout the sequel.

While the critic said that the pic includes "some lively stuff" like "a few sensational cameos and interesting ideas about confronting one’s personal demons, about homophobia, abuse and depression," he noted that the sequel is similar to the first film in that it is a "virtual non-narrative anthology of standard jump-scares.

The cast is awesome. Liked the remake a lot. Trailer of second part looks interesting. But... many trailer these days are made good and the result is disappointing then. I believe IT 2 will be a good movie. At least I want to believe it... Bad second part, as often? Hope not.

I didn't like any of it ...
