Film review: ItChapterTwo
a prestige miniseries for some cable or streaming company? Andy Muschietti's two-part film clearly yearns for that format, not only in its patience-testing length — nearly three hours just for, with the director teasing reporters about the prospect of a 6.5-hour supercut — but in an episodic structure that frustrates those who expect certain kinds of dynamics in drama and suspense.
Trouble is, only one of these self-dubbed "Losers" remembers the pact. Earnest Mike , the only one who has stayed in Derry, has spent the decades studying local lore about the monster; he sleeps in a library's attic next to a police scanner, waiting to hear about kids who've gone missing. After a spate of disappearances, he starts phoning up his old friends.
Stanley's the only one who refuses to venture back to Derry, where a feel-good reunion over Chinese food — see how Ben , the chubby sweet kid, turned into a hunk! — soon gives way to resurging memories of the terrors these friends have suppressed. Each of these many one-on-one scenes works well enough on its own, but the series grows monotonous and fails to generate an escalating dread. Have pity on the filmmakers, who must try to give meaningful things to do to both established, world-class actors like Chastain and a recent breakthrough like Hader, who steals scenes as a stand-up comic who remains the Losers' fount of snark.
