It: Chapter 2

It’s supposed to be about overcoming personal demons, so I don’t think it’s particularly scary, nor is it supposed to be. Efforts to create an emotional saga succeed and it never felt long, despite the 3-hour running time. In movies like this, when the monster is “imaginary,” it’s always easily defeated once the heroes figure out they can just ignore it or belittle it. It’s a skillfully made parable about getting over things.
