It Chapter One used a script borrowing heavily from the abandoned Fukanaga script, and we were left with a wonderful take on the book that clearly loved it, throwing in references and nods all over, and doing a great job conveying the themes, tones, and spirit of the book while changing elements to better fit the film medium. It was a lot of fun, and while not perfect was a movie deserving of the adoration it got from both fans and non-fans of the book.

There was no Fukanaga script for Chapter 2. Instead we get director Gary Dauberman, whose best writing credit is fucking Annabelle. That really helps understand how Chapter 2 had such a massive change in tone towards the book, and why it was such a poorly made movie altogether. And a waste of a phenomenally talented cast, too :/

It's ok to be wrong. Even if you'll never be able to explain why.

Carys script was pretty bad and devoided a lot from the book

It wasn't bad. It was extreme, but still showed love and respect for the book.

I mean to be fair the adult stuff in the books wasn't as good either.

Both movies felt similar in tone and faithfulness to the book to me but the structure of how they handled the two movies was always going to negatively impact Part 2.

I loved the adult parts in the book. I actually thought the introductions of the adults was one of the best parts of the book, and the movie rushed badly through them to the point I don't get why they didn't cut them and do it a new way.

He was so wasted with bad timing, his jokes almost never landed.

But the past due comment slayed me. And the moment he got hit by the deadlights was fucking terrifying.

Also, why was Eddie an asshole in this? He was an asshole to his wife and to the loses. And when it came time to step up, he was a complete coward until someone else had to shake some sense into him.
