The Plot
The film opened when Adrian Mellon and his boyfriend Don Hagarty are attacked by a group of youths. Mellon is then thrown from a bridge and killed by Pennywise while Don watches helplessly. Mike Hanlon overhears the incident through a police scanner and rushes to the place of incident. He then realized that Pennywise or so called"It" has came back.
He contacted the other members of the Losers Club—Bill, Ben, Beverly, Richie, Eddie, and Stan—back to Derry where everything have started. Everyone agreed to return except for Stan who committed suicide after Mike's phone call.
The Losers Club minus Stan have been reunited in a local restaurant and slowly begin to recover their memories, but are terrified by disturbing visions and taunts caused by It. The group is then found out about Stan's suicide. Richie and Eddie decide to leave while Mike reveals to Bil that he met with a Native American tribe who him showed a vision of It arriving to Earth from the stars, and informed him of the Ritual of Chüd- a way of destroying It once and for all. Bill and Mike convince Richie and Eddie to stay and finish what was started. Henry Bowers, having survived his apparent death, has been confined to a mental hospital, but with the help of "It" he escaped.
The ritual requires each Loser to have an artifact from their past. Beverly goes to her old home and found the love letter that she believes that Ben have written for her. Bill went to the storm drain near their oldhouse and where Georgie was killed. He recovered his paper boat before meeting a boy named Dean. Ben went to his old high school and found his old yearbook page, which Beverly was the only person to sign. Eddie went to a pharmacy and recovers an inhaler. Richie got a game token from an abandoned arcade. After escaping their individual encounters with the "It", the Losers use a shower cap from their childhood clubhouse for Stan and Mike finds the rock that started their fight against the Bowers gang years prior. Bill realizes that the "It" is going after Dean but he failed to save him from being devoured. Bowers attacks and wounds Eddie and Mike, but was killed by Richie. The rest of the
Losers left the Neibolt house to help Bill. They have completed the Ritual but Pennywise appeared and pressured Mike in revealing to the Losers that the Natives who attempted the ritual in the past all died. The Losers are then thrust into nightmarish scenarios that they all eventually escape from before arriving back in the cavern. Eddie saves Richie, who gets caught by Pennywise's hypnotic dead lights, but is impaled by Pennywise. The Losers regroup and realize It can be killed if they stand up to him and make him feel smaller than he actually is; they surround and insult It over and over, making him physically shrink and weaken until they are able to tear out his heart and crush it, ultimately killing him. Eddie dies from his injuries despite Richie's attempts to save him.
The remaining Losers return to the quarry where they once swam together. Beverly, who has realized it was Ben who wrote the letter, shares a kiss with him, and the two start a romantic relationship. Richie returns to the bridge where he had once carved his initials and those of another person, now revealed to be Eddie. Mike decides to move out of Derry to start a new life. The Losers all receive posthumous letters from Stan, explaining that he believed he would've held them back, but knew they could defeat It if they were brave without him.

Blithethoughts
It Chapter Two did improved from its predecessor. It went deeper than its predecessor, yet you will feel a bit of shallowness. The horror elements and visual effects are mostly popcorn spectacle but the drama underlying everything is immensely compelling. The horror feeling did not elevate even though it has a nice horror effects. The film have very nice cast however never reaches a level that evokes true emotion. There is less development with the characters. Special mention to Bill Harder whom I think made a great job in portraying his character. The comedy is so so. The flashbacks is a plus.
It was good but not the type of film that you will spent a penny watching it ot again.
