It's the camaraderie between the characters again works well, helped by an excellent cast including James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader who breathe renewed life into the film.
It all goes pear shaped during the final hour as the film becomes a CGI shitshow no different to the very worst of Marvel movies and i completely lost interest until the survivors left the cavernous underworld and returned to the streets.
Nice to see cameos from Stephen King and Peter Bogdanovich. |
I enjoyed both parts of the remake. Had a feeling you would find the second half far too cgi heavy though Dem. You were right in your review of Part 1 though, nothing is really added that the older TV movies didn't accomplish.
