You ruined IT for me!
Hmm, thanks. As I also didn't think the first one was particularly great I'm gonna skip it and watch it somewhere when it starts streaming.Just saw it. IMO... not good. It has an almost identical structure to the first movie, which I also didn't find all that great, except this time it loses the kids and is 3 hours long
Group meets up > group split up > each person has an encounter with Pennywise separately (none of them engaging or scary in the slightest) > group gets back together > group fights Pennywise
So....it's like the book which is the same structure.Just saw it. IMO... not good. It has an almost identical structure to the first movie, which I also didn't find all that great, except this time it loses the kids and is 3 hours long

Can someone spoil me if there's any cosmic horror of the novel in it?

What?!Not much. There is a bit of explanation for Pennywise's existance (meteor crashed millions of years ago), and there are three floating lights which "power" him I guess? I think in the movie they mentioned how Pennywise's true form is light. I haven't read the novel but I'm assuming thats some of it
Pretty much, and I think a lot of fault lies with the source material. Once the adults return to Derry, it's like, "Okay, so now they're here, we can't have them kill Pennywise immediately, so let's send them on a treasure hunt for an hour". Basically 80% of the adult story needed a do-over, but then you have the problem of it no longer being a faithful adaptation.
