What to Know

Critics Consensus

It: Chapter Two proves bigger doesn't always mean scarier for horror sequels, but a fine cast and faithful approach to the source material keep this follow-up afloat.

Chicago Reader

Trimming the adults' often soppy individual narratives to focus on their more interesting dynamic as a group might have mitigated some of the numbness that sets in from predictability.

There's a grandness to its scale and production values that still makes It Chapter Two an enjoyable romp, but it's not the ghoulish scarefest it could be.

Rated: 3/5

Not unlike the town in which it's set, Muschietti's It only sees what it wants to.

"It Chapter Two" is less scary; like early "Evil Dead" films and other 1980s horrors, its crazy creatures inspire surprised laughter more than terror.

Rated: 3/4

Puesta en Escena (AR)

Despite the problems of the ending, and being less successful than its predecessor, It: Chapter Two has several stimulating moments through its terror. Likewise, it must be emphasized that it maintains the essence of the literary text.

Rated: 6.5/10

It Chapter Two fails to deliver a conclusion worthy of its epic runtime. Even with a phenomenal cast, it isn’t as funny, as scary, or even as captivating as its predecessor.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/22 Full Review Cori Not as good as Chapter 1, the cast didn't seem as close as the kids were. Mostly didn't like Jessica Chastain. But the scares were good and I liked that the ending was different from the Tim Curry version. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/22 Full Review Steven I enjoyed the first one more, but this was great too. Casting for the adult versions of The Loser's Club is spot on.
