IT: Chapter Two Early Reactions: Critics Tag the Sequel as Scarier but Less Charming
The first reactions of It: Chapter Two are out and they are a mixed affair. While the sequel is scarier, it looses its original charm. Critics are liking it but not loving it this sequel and Bill Hader is a surprise element. He steals the show from Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy.
Pennywise is all set to scare the daylights out of you as he returns with IT Chapter 2. Part one produced by Warner Bros was a big hit and a sequel for the same was highly anticipated. However, with the sequel being a few weeks away from its release, its early reactions are dropping already and we are eager to share 'em with you. Based on Stephen King's novel, the movie was a huge hit and if these early reactions are to go by, its sequel is set to mint in more numbers.
The film's chapter one that released in 2017 was based on one-half of King's novel and revolved around the young residents of Derry. It's another half was about the same kids who return as adults to their town, 27 years later to come face-to-face with Pennywise. The sequel has a stellar star-cast of Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader and if reactions are to believe, Hader has managed to hog all the limelight. It: Chapter 2: Pennywise the Clown is Here to Scare You With This New Poster Ahead of the Trailer Release Tomorrow.
