It: Chapter Two (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital)

A lot of the negative reviews I've read, I can't imagine they come from people who've actually read the book. And if you're not a Stephen King fan, why are you watching a Stephen King movie? One of the biggest complaints I've read is about the opening scene depicting a gay couple being attacked by a group of neighborhood thugs, ending with one of the gay men being thrown over the side of a bridge into the waiting clutches of Pennywise. For those claiming it is some abhorrent scheme of the directors/screenwriters/whatever to force modern, liberal, woke agenda down their gullet, again, have you read the book? It's literally the second chapter, the scene almost word for word how it was written nearly 40 years ago. The first chapter was the opening scene of the first movie, George being eaten by Pennywise which started It's cycle when the Losers were kids, and the second chapter was the opening scene for this movie, which started It's cycle 27 years later when the Losers return to Derry as adults. If there's anything shameful about it, it's only that 40 years later gay bashing is still considered by all to many as just good 'ol boys having a sporting good time. As for the profanity, if little kids being eaten by a monster is entertaining but a group of old friends' drunken reunion being too liberally sprinkled with the f-bomb for your delicate sensibilities, I'd say your priorities are way more concerning than the use of profanity in a scary movie. Another complaint I saw was that all of the scares were from things that have already been done before. Aside from just the obvious that there's only so many types of monsters, and so many ways to kill and terrify, etc, I think it was kinda intentional. It isn't as outspoken in the movie as it is in the book, but most all of the monsters whose form It took to terrorize the kids were classic horror movie monsters - for Ben it was The Mummy, for Eddie I think it was I Was A Teenage Werewolf, for Eddie Corcoran (whose story didn't make it into the movie) it was The Creature From The Black Lagoon. But in the book the Losers' childhood took place in the 50's so it made sense that those were the movies that they saw in theaters that terrified them. In the movie, the kids' part of the story took place in the 80's so borrowing from John Carpenter's The Thing and having Stan's head sprout spider legs and chase after them, makes sense, a lot more so than if they tried to use some of the classic horror movie monsters that made appearances in the book. It's reasonable to believe one of the kids saw The Thing and was scared out of their wits by it. So, I get it. I thought it was suitably creepy and a nice homage to one of my own favorite scary movies as a kid in the 80's That being said, if you liked the book and/or the original miniseries, it's definitely worth watching. Is it a perfect adaptation? No. But a flawless adaptation of book to film is one in a million so I didn't go into it expecting it to be perfect. Good script (in some ways less true to the spirit of the book than the original miniseries, but also a lot less cheesy too), good acting - I thought the choice of actors for each role was spot on, a lot of cool effects. It was good, I liked it. But I've always been a huge Stephen King fan and the horror genre in general has always been my absolute favorite so I'll admit some bias. Watch the movie and decide for yourself

Great movie!!!!

Great program. I have continued with the rest of them..

It's not better than the first, the ending was regular, but it's still a very good movie with a lot of horror scenes.

Excelente producto en buen estado me llego

So, let's get likes out of the way first. The visual quality of the 4K UHD is fantastic! It looked great on my LG OLED and sounded fantastic with my Denon 4400 9.1 (7.1 + Atmos) setup. I liked that they followed more of the book than usual. I liked that this movie switched timelines from when they were children to when they are adults, but I thought that both movies should have done that or this movie should have been only when they were adults. I mostly liked the cast - James McAvoy was great as Big Bill. Bill Hader was great as Trashmouth and funny as always. The adults appeared to be the same age as they were in the book and it started out the way the book did. The book was long, so I would expect a long movie (or two). I know that there are always reasons that the movies can't follow the books they're based on - especially certain things in this book and Stephen King books in general, but it's still frustrating to watch something that was depicted differently and didn't really appear to need to be. It's even worse to me when they completely make up stuff that is boring and leave out something that might've been more interesting if just shown as written. Now, with that said, my wife started playing on her phone about 20 minutes in because it was so hard to follow and pretty slow. I like Jessica Chastain in other movies, but I don't think she looks anything like Sophia Lillis, and even though she is very beautiful, she is not "voluptuous" as adult Beverly was described. If Tawny Kitaen was 20 years younger she would have been perfect for the role because she does look similar to Lillis (and she's always who I imagined Beverly to look like when I read the book back in 1986). But, if you're going to have Jessica Chastain for Beverly, then you really need Bryce Dallas Howard for Audra Denbrough. Then the part where Tom Rogan recognizes Audra in Derry would really make sense - if they had bothered to put it in the movie. I also can't figure out why they decided to change Mike Hanlon's parents into crackheads - seemed completely unnecessary and that was one of the things that was good in the book - the lessons that his dad taught him and all the father-son interaction. I was excited that they showed the clubhouse, but the best part (to me) of that and the dam was them building it together when they were children. And if that would have been boring to others, it couldn't have been much more boring than anything else in the movie. Bill having to convince everyone to stay? The 'token' thing? Where did that stuff come from? I also thought that the adults all should have been A-listers or none of them should have been. Makes it seem like they blew their wad on McAvoy, Hader, and Chastain and then had nothing left for the rest of the cast (not counting Finn Wolfhard, I guess). If I had thought a little harder about this, I would probably have just waited on Netflix to deliver the Blu-Ray. I'm sure it would have been okay as well - my 4K Blu-Ray player upscales reasonably well. I didn't try to rent on Amazon because usually the audio quality of the disc tends to be better and so many things aren't available in 4K streaming - even in 2019.

First off, Amazon or the powers that be need to release ALL of the bonus footage...the blu ray is supposed to have so much more so I imagine this version is supposed to as well. It has just one 5 minute featurette with Stephen King. In review: Very fun. Great acting and effects. I agree with others that writing was the weakest link...but Pennywise is one of the greatest film performances I've seen...he's incredible in this role. The only frustration I have with these two movies as well as the previous mini series is that the losers always feel a little flat in chemistry to me. It's unfortunate because it definitely wasn't due to the talent themselves in either film. I imagine it's really just the result of trying to pack so much integral story into a film. I also felt that Beverly was a stronger character in the first film...she was a leader and protector despite her abuse and vulnerabilities, but in this she's just constantly vulnerable...and not necessarily from Pennywise, he always brings out her strength which is a fun dynamic as he's enjoying the challenge, but just moving between scenes she's always being needlessly reassured by the other Losers. I found it surprising considering the cast as well as the tone of the first film. I would have liked to have seen more from her as well as more one on one Loser interactions with Pennywise. That's where all the fun is. But, since it's a normal-length film it's great with what they could do and I can't tear it down. Overall it was highly entertaining, a little funnier this time, and took the story seriously. I want more, here's hoping this isn't truly the end

Film is not as good as chapter one, possibly because the chemistry among the kid actors is much stronger than the adult actors. I already made a review on part one but didn't focus on the bonus features. Chapter One disc has four brief featurettes and no commentary. Chapter Two has a commentary track, and much longer featurettes, including one that probably should have been on Chapter One because it's focused just on the making of Chapter One. Extremely odd decision to me, though probably not an issue for a completionist who plans on owning both. Going on 5 years since the release of Chapter Two and no sign of a supposed alleged director's cut for both parts.

Llego muchísimo antes de lo esperado. En perfectas condiciones. No importa si no tienes un reproductor blu-ray 4K, el blu-ray normal se sigue viendo increíble, la imagen y el audio en Dolby Atmos es una locura! Esta versión trae un disco de puro material extra, que para los que solos fans es una gran sorpresa. Trae subtítulos en español tanto la película como el material extra. Estoy más que contento, está muy completa esta versión.

Yo ya tenia la versión en blu-ray de esta película pero la calidad que tiene la versión en 4K es excelente superando al Full HD,el único pero que le puedo encontrar es el alto costo de este formato de lo demás todo es perfecto.

Excelente calidad 4k lo único malo es que no tiene slipcover

while the product, shipping and what not were in perfect condition. I must iterate that if you liked the first movie, you will probably find that this one isn't as good (forget about the running times, 135 minutes for the first one and around 169 minutes for the second one)... the acting is good but the script leaves something to desire...better, I think than the 1990 second half of the one with Ritter but...still that said, still worth seeing if you haven't seen it and the special features alone are worth the purchase of this....looking forward to the third one they're talking about...
