a kid's film disguised as a film for adults - don't go if you're an adult


The poor dialogue, the one-dimensional baddie characters, the bad acting from the adult stars, etc.

The ending - where they 'defeated' the clown - was particularly laughable - them screaming, you're a clown, you're a bully, you're bad - all in order to defeat him. Err..... that's ok for a kid's film, but from what I gather, this film was for adults, hence making this a joke of a film.

All in all, I'd advise anyone that considers themselves mature to avoid this thinly disguised kid's movie.

The problem is, it's a bad kid's movie as well - if only because the adult actors were vastly inferior in their acting ability to their kid counterparts (which is quite surreal, given that adult actors are quite well known). If they stuck with the child actors, this film could be as good as the first one.

Overall I think the problem is they are a group of adults going up against an alien clown. It doesn't work if they take it too seriously. Thats what I saw in the miniseries. The kid segments worked in both the miniseries and Chapter One because they were figuring it out along with the audience. But when the adults come back to fight IT again, the audience is already aware of whats going on and there's no real way to build suspense. In the miniseries, the adult segments were boring and felt stale compared to the kid segments. In Chapter Two, it was silly at times, but they avoided the staleness.

They probably could've changed things to make it more suspenseful, but I feel like they'd have to change too much of the original story to get there.

I disagree. It is definitely an adult film and I thought it was quite well done. I'm an adult and I enjoyed it.

I didn't like TFA.
I hated TLJ.
That's when I saw them.
What else am I supposed to think with TROS?
Am I supposed to think that all of a sudden it'll be a quantum leap in quality storytelling?
Believe me, I've seen several Abrams movies, and they all end up feeling rushed, incomplete or just plain empty.
