We open with a fight that serves no purpose on the story other than to show that Washington is bad-ass, something we already knew from the first film.

The film doesn't know how to deal with the toxicity of extreme fandom, it feels hollow and one would go watch DeNiro and Snipes in The Fan instead.

We are not as scared as we were from Pennywise, but the one scene that does elicit the charm from the first film involves Pennywise luring a child under some bleachers.

As the film progresses certain members of the family question their participation in the game.

The film opens with the introduction of three characters and I bet you can guess which characters are still standing towards the end.

The film takes awhile to get going, but once our characters get more interaction with the house, it engages enough to keep the viewer interested.

Adult me recognizes the films faults, abuse of in your face 3D, the obvious set pieces and lack of a strong cohesive script.

Had I been finding the humour in this film more often, it would have gotten a higher rating.

Cory Finley crafts a film with the same viewpoints of his two characters and it works.

The testing of his superpowers was filmed down the street from my work and you've seen that location in numerous other films, most recently the RoboCop remake.
