改編自史蒂芬金（Stephen King）同名著作的電影續作《牠 第二章》（It: Chapter）即將在下個月初上映，日前國外率先釋出了首波媒體評價，成人版的魯蛇俱樂部比起少年版或許略遜一籌，但有不少人提到比爾海德（Bill Hader）的表現是一大亮點，而將近三個小時的片長雖然看來有點令人擔心，但整體來說還算是正面評價。
Collider 編輯海莉法屈（Haleigh Foutch）：《牠 第二章》是成功且具有野心的，雖然並不是完全能夠承擔期待的重量，但仍然是一部真誠的恐怖片，而這部分也表現得很好，比爾海德也成為了我們所希望的偷走每一幕的亮點。
#ITChapterTwo is big and ambitious and can't *quite* handle the weight of its aspirations, but it's still a fine piece of heartfelt horror. The parts that work, work REALLY well and Bill Hader is every-bit the scene-stealing standout we all hoped he'd be.

Cinema Blend 總經理尚恩歐康納（Sean O'Connell）：《牠 第二章》是很好，但還不到很棒；我很喜歡，但還不到熱愛。第一集立下了難以衡量的標準，而第二集則是陰森、奇怪但極度可怕。點出了書中很重要的觀點，但感覺有點過長。不過卡司還是很棒，比爾海德應該要得到奧斯卡的討論。
So, #ITChapterTwo: it's v. good, but not great. I liked it, but didn't LOVE it. First movie is a tough act to follow. TWO is gruesome, strange but rarely scary. Nails important aspects from the book, but feels overlong. Cast is aces, though, & Bill Hader SHOULD be in Oscar convo. pic.twitter.com/1KUZk5TXA1

slashfilm 電影評論克里斯伊凡傑利斯塔（Chris Evangelista）：《牠 第二章》的第一幕有些倉促、粗略，成人版的魯蛇俱樂部也少了一點什麼，但這部電影最終仍有找到自己的立足點。這是一部成功的電影，一部不畏懼打破恐怖大片規矩做出一些詭異選擇的電影。比爾海德搶走了所有風采。
#ITChapter2 has a rushed, clumsy first act & an odd lack of chemistry among the adult Losers. But it eventually finds its footing. This is a BIG movie—a go for broke horror blockbuster not afraid to make weird choices. Bill Hader steals the show. #ITMovie #ITChapterTwo pic.twitter.com/cib2slRfoq

Uproxx 資深娛樂作者麥可萊恩（Mike Ryan）：以多數情況來說我是喜歡《牠 第二章》的，（在這超級長的電影）前半段很棒，新的成人版卡司很優秀，但後半段就不是那麼緊湊，整體來說，這一集沒有上一集來的牢固。
For the most part I liked IT CHAPTER TWO. First half (of this pretty long movie!) is great. And the new adult cast is stellar. Second half isn’t as tight. And overall Chapter Two isn’t as tight as the first movie.

Fandango 總編輯埃瑞克戴維斯（Erik Davis）：《牠 第二章》與《牠》是非常好的兩部曲電影，有著類似的氛圍、絕佳的團隊默契，以及幽默與恐怖的美妙結合。《牠 第二章》的步調更加沈重，像是處理童年創傷所造成的負擔，在最後我肯定有落下幾滴淚。比爾海德搶走了所有目光。
#ITChapterTwo is a terrific companion to #ITChapterOne. Similar vibes, great ensemble chemistry w/ a nice mix of humor and horror. Part 2 plays heavier in tone, dealing w/ defeating the burden of childhood trauma, & I definitely teared up at the very end. Bill Hader steals it pic.twitter.com/bjiwtJufNQ

Joblo 主編保羅謝瑞（Paul Shirey）：真的很喜歡《牠 第二章》，跟《牠》簡直是完美拍檔。在少年與成人卡司之間有些令人震驚、恐怖的事情。比爾海德肯定奪走了整部電影的目光，平衡了真摯的情感與大量的突發驚嚇。
Really enjoyed #ITChapterTwo which serves as the perfect bookend to Chapter One. Some great shocks and scares with the young and old cast. Bill Hader absolutely steals the movie, which balances heartfelt emotion with creepy jump scares galore. @joblocom

The Mary Sue 助理編輯凱特蓋德納（Kate Gardner）：《牠 第二張》在友情與創傷上有很棒的見解，讓我無法停止思考。比爾海德與詹姆斯蘭森（James Ransone）絕對是全場亮點，我等不及要再看一遍了。
IT Chapter Two is an amazing look at friendship and trauma that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. Bill Hader and James Ransone absolutely steal the show. I cannot wait to see it again. pic.twitter.com/p2jcDENkuM
