Carved out the time today to watch the second half of It - Chapter 2. Lots of sound and fury, sometimes creating a bit of a visual overload for this viewer. But a well-told tale with lots of heart. Found myself unreasonably moved on two or three occasions.
Yet again I managed to forget enough of the plot of the novel to feel that what I was watching was full of surprises, and I suspect the film-makers took enough sensible liberties to make this genuinely the case even for those with better memories. Oddly, though, my involvement with the characters as recalled from my reading added considerably to the emotional heft of the movie.
