I just got back from seeing this with my daughter, and I LOVED this movie! The first one was good, but this one took it up another notch.
A brilliant adaptation of one of King's classic works, I was deeply impressed with this film all around. Great acting, truly terrifying effects, and excellent storytelling all the way around. FIVE STARS!!!!!

Glad you liked it. The funny thing is I like Steven King as person from what I hear of him but I never liked his works.

Rotten Tomatoes score dropped from 88% down to 67%

I'm still going to watch this but most likely not at the theater.

Is it really almost 3 hours long?

Define "almost." It clocks in at 11 minutes under 3 hours or 169 minutes.

We actually may be re-entering the era of films that run long. Avengers : Endgame clocked in at 3 hours and 1 minute or 181 minutes. And Martin Scorsese's latest film The Irishman is 3 and a half hours long or 210 minutes. Bring back the intermission. I can't sit in a theater seat that long without having to use the restroom.

I timed my bathroom break to a scene that had already been spoiled in the trailer.
But honestly, the length didn't bother me, the STORY was so good!

I kmow thast It preyed on children and fought adults that It had infecredmwith fear as a child. Did It ever attack or kill an adult It didn't basically infect with fear of It as a child?

In the opening scene of the movie, IT takes an adult that had not seen IT before.

I haven't seen this or the first part and may not but if the movie throws in with the kids "intimacy" at the novel's end, a huge narrative mistake was repeated. When I read the book in high school I got to that part and threw the paperback against the ground it disgusted me so much for being wrong, wrong, wrong, King's biggest mistake.

They wisely left that part out altogether. I think even King has said he regrets writing that.

Thanks for the answer. I thought that would be an interesting weakness for It: In reality it isn't a real big bad tough monster, it's more like a jackal or a hyena. It preys on children or adults already seeded wth fear of it. An adult thast wasn't infected as a child sees It for what it is, a weak predator who only takes vulnerable targets.

That might have made a good story development. Too bad it didn't pan out.
