    I saw the first film earlier.

    it was very well made and great performances from all but not remotely scary - there wasn’t even any jump scenes.

    I had planned on watching Chapter 2 right after but now I’m not sure if I want to see it - 3 hours is a lot

    I don’t know which adult actor is playing which kid but none of them look like the kids - Amy Adams and Sophia Lillian are the head off each other that is all I’ve been think off when I try to decide if I want to the second one

    Tbh Chapter 2 was a very disappointing follow-up - it ends up doing the Then & Now structure that the book (and original miniseries) uses, but feels all over the place because of the 1989 story having already been told in Chapter 1. The choice of actors for the adults wasn't great, with Adult!Ben the most egregious of the lot.

    Why did adult Ben give you bother? He was meant to look nothing like his younger self and be closer to the exact opposite.


    I thought they all fitted their younger selves pretty well. Eddie Kaspbrak in particular was excellent. Looked the part, and the older version nailed the mannerisms of the kid version.

    Adult Richie & Eddie were both fine, though I thought McAvoy & Chastain were sort of perfunctory. Adult Ben's appearance wasn't the issue, the performance was just lacking IMO.

    Mind you, the script was certainly the biggest issue with Chapter 2.
