"It’s this old Hollywood musical variety show type of thing. Really epic Technicolor. There’s an Esther Williams thing in there where she’s just swimming and being beautiful. It’s a beauty-based film. All the money wasn’t popped into special effects, obviously. It was popped into building really grand sets, really great costumes, really, really good makeup. Like, whatever. I saw that in college. One of my friends showed it to me in his apartment. I was like, “What the f— is this?” And then I bought the DVD and [now] I toss it in once a month, at least in the background. I don’t really actually follow the movie straight through. I just kinda fast-forward to the parts that look cool."

Human element of the story wasn't great (0 more)

I've always been a fan of the godzilla films . I grew up watching the toho films and they were just fun and it was more the monsters story than about the humans . The newest ones seem to have reversed that and tried to make more of the humans stories rather than the monsters which let's face it ... we want to see giant monsters kicking each others asses . Thats what the films i loved growing up with were about . The fight scenes in this movie were superb but there just wasn't enough of them and the film was too short as well for my taste. But overall I did enjoy it alot.

I was drawn into this rather quickly. I had no idea what was going to happen in this, only that something life-changing happens.This is my first book with a tornado in it and the after effects are quite damaging to this little town

That first interaction we see between West and Jules, you can see that there is a connection there, but since Jules is already with someone else I was interested to see how everything would play out between them.

It wasn't a very long book but it all plays out at a nice pace and I liked how their relationship evolved. I know it's in three parts and I'm interested in continuing the series at some point.

Casting... So well done (1 more)

Stuck to the story a biOerall, I wa t better than the first

Not too shabby... But not great either

Overall I was impressed with this vision of Stephen Kings amazing novel.
Not half as good as Chapter 1... Chapter 2 offers way more jump scares than the first. But the level of acting by the adult versions of The Loser's Club did not measure up to their child counterparts.
Bill Hader pulled of. a Ritchie that compared well to Finn Wolfhard's version. Loved the banter between him and Jack Dylan Glazer.
Musschetti pulled of another visual masterpiece with effects that amazed my eyes including Stanley's head as a spider... That made me chuckle...
Check this one out folks... Well worth it

Set in 1944, just before D-Day... we follow several paratroopers who are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a very important mission. Expect blood and gore! It happens quite quickly into the movie! The group trek through the woods where they pick up a female, who joins this unusual bunch of soldiers. They soon find out that nazis are experimenting on human beings in a mad bid to win the war. This however does not go to plan. With body parts flying everywhere, some pretty cool effects and blood drenched drama. Expect some interesting moments. The acting was great, but I feel the story line lacked in places. It could have been a great movie, but in actuality it was pretty average.
