How could we not watch Chapter 2 right away! The first one was so good, and I had so many questions that needed answering, so we just jumped right back in. And boy am I glad we did! Once again, absolutely loved this movie. It get's pretty wild, but I was all in!

Wasn’t expecting part 2 so fast! Awesome, excited to watch!

LOVED the adult casting. They were so identical to the kid counterparts especially Beverly and Ritchie. I'd be interested to see what you think of the 90s Tim Curry Pennywise!

So, the recurring joke about the ending of Bill's book being bad is a joke about Stephen King's books often having pretty lackluster endings to put it nicely. As an example, I don't remember if you guys have seen The Mist yet, but the book didn't have a great ending, while the director of the movie changed it into something much, much better.

I, for the most part love this movie. I "like" the intro 27 years later. It really shows how IT just feeds on unadulterated fear and hatred, with it being such a meaningless, vicious, hateful crime. Just mans ability to be awful. Now whether IT caused the crime or simply feeds? I dunno. The ending for me kinda falls apart. It is one of those things that people always say: "The movie can't do the book justice." The ritual of Chüd is one of those things that you can write about but trying to show it, makes it kind of silly. One aspect where your imagination is better than any visual. Its all about their childlike imagination and optimism. Sorry for the essay. Also, you guys know about the Welcome to Derry series coming out in Oct right? Thanks for the awesome videos!

The main reason for King's endings being bad is that he doesn't structure his stories. He talks about that in his book "On Writing", which I used a lot of tips from for my own writing. Writing without a plan is definitely the most fun way to write (which is probably why King has churned out a million stories and George RR Martin is stuck on one) but it means satisfying endings are always going to be happy accidents. His stories benefit from a structure pass (from a director/editor) quite a bit.

Ookay, Jordan and Chandra... I have been trying to find a better place to put this comment, but I can't, so, here we are. There is a movie you two have got to watch. You've likely already heard about it all over the place--KPOP DEMON HUNTERS. People are still actively looking for reactions to it. If you put a poll up now, I have a feeling it would not only win hands down, but most of your Patreons would probably freak out, and with good reason. The songs are topping charts, the movie is #1 on Netflix, and believe me when I tell you, you will fall in love. I had to stop a current reaction I was watching (to KPOP Demon Hunters) to leave this here because I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I mention it now partly because the heat will die down eventually, and I imagine you'll want to strike while the iron is hot. Trust me. You'll thank me later. Great reaction to It: Chapter 2. Love both of these movies. That is all. :D

Thank you for the heads up! I'm going to look into that right away!

MaplenutsReact

We do! Jordan's been really excited to see it. Good timing too, right around Halloweeeeeeen! And I agree about the ending - I did really enjoy it, but I bet reading the book my imagination would have made it even more terrifying.

MaplenutsReact

Haha that makes sense. We did watch the Mist! And I remember people saying they changed the ending for the movie and most people actually preferred it.

MaplenutsReact

Agreed, the casting was dead on. And I'm super curious to see that one too now!

Raven Dark

Yay! You won't regret it, I promise.

I think that Amy Adams would have been a better physical match for the adult Beverly to the younger actor but I think that Jessica Chastain did a wonderful job in the role.

Nathan Jasper

I could definitely see that but I think Jessica was a better fit acting wise. Amy's only good at certain things but she's great at what she is good at. I just don't feel like that's horror.

Did you catch the nod to John Carpenter's 1982 "The Thing" when the demon sprouted spider/crab legs and the same line of dialogue was spoken when they saw this - "You gotta be f***ing kidding!"

Bob Bagstone

Good to know I wasn’t the only one to get that homage to John Carpenter!

I like that Eddie’s mom was played by the same actress as his wife.
