It Chapter Two (2019)Directed by Andy MuschiettiI watched “It Chapter Two” last week and enjoyed it. I really liked the first movie, thanks to the atmosphere, the very polished look, the great performances by the actors and the story. It helped that I had watched the 1990 adaptation of the Stephen King book just before watching the 2017 movie, so I had a bit more context for the characters and I enjoyed it more. I was eagerly awaiting the sequel and to me, it did not disappoint. Chapter Two is set 27 years after the events of the first film, where Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) is the only one among the Losers Club still living in Derry, and when the evil entity who takes the form of Pennywise the Clown resurfaces, he gets his old friends back to Derry so that they can destroy It once and for all.At a running time of close to three hours, the movie takes its time with the story, but I liked it and never found it boring. Surprisingly, despite its length, it still felt like some plot threads were a bit rushed (the treatment of the Henry Bowers character, for example). The casting is very good, with the adult actors looking very much like their child counterparts. The young actors return as well for some flashback scenes, and apparently there was a bit of CGI de-aging done because the kids in real life look much older now. Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise is amazing as usual. The movie to me wasn't as scary as the first one. But it's recommended viewing as a conclusion to the story.You can spot director Andy Muschietti in the background in one shot, in the scene where Eddie visits a pharmacy. There is also one surprise cameo from a famous person which I'll mention in the first comment on this post.Today I caught up with some artist friends for brunch, and @dear.artsie was kind enough to give me a sketchbook and a set of colour gel pens. This drawing was made with those (though I did use a bit of Gelly Roll as well), and scanned.#DailyMovieSketch #it #itchapter2 #itchaptertwo #pennywise #billskarsgard#inksketch #penandink #gelpen#470 / 15-Sep-19
