Andy Muschietti displayed some grave recurring flaws when trying to handle larger scale projects in the second 'It' movie and 'The Flash.'
The Big Picture Movies are not just made by one person. Even the most intimate indie feature requires so many souls to bring it to life, from the screenwriting stage to shooting the thing to an array of post-production duties. This is especially true when one is handling a big blockbuster movie like 2023's The Flash.
With that first It becoming a huge hit, Muschietti was given a significantly expanded budget and a larger canvas to make the second movie about the Loser’s Club. The result was a bloated mess too intent on giving people what they already liked from the first movie, including bizarre flashback scenes involving the kid versions of the main character that made heavy use of distractingly bad digital de-aging.
Worse, though, is how The Flash crystallizes certain problems with Muschietti’s approach to genre cinema that weren’t really clear until now. Chiefly, he has trouble with fully embracing the absurdity of the source material he’s adapting. Muschietti likes the idea of a movie about a scary supernatural clown but eschews the massive space turtle from the original It book out of fear of being too goofy.
The Film Industry Has Let Audiences and Andy Muschietti Down Andy Muschietti’s underwhelming work on It: Chapter 2 was an unfortunate harbinger for many of the most critical failings of The Flash. The cringe-inducing stabs at broad comedy, the over-reliance on digital effects work, the distant approach to pathos. Muschietti even shows little interest in making creative use of the compositions composer Benjamin Wallfisch delivered for each of these movies.
