Friendly service, great prices. They do an awesome job cleaning between shows. New seats are fantastic.

This place is amazing! Great prices on tickets and food. Reclining seat which was a surprise. Cant beat the friendly staff and the historical building tops it off. It was beautiful in there.

They recently remodeled their entire building, and it has become an extremely nice theater. They have nice bathrooms reasonably priced snacks (for movie theaters). They have recliners that are extremely comfortable.The main reason I gave it four stars is because the lights that illuminate the rows sometimes can shine in your eyes and it makes it hard to watch the movie. But all in all it’s an extremely nice theater with very competitive prices.

Great theater and prices. Just recently remodled

Great place to watch a movie with your better half. They also have recliner seating now, which is amazing. Thank you Capital ll Theatre!

Absolutely the best if you are dedicated to shopping local. This renovated 2 theatre movie house is situated in the historic Hotel Maytag building in downtown Newton. The owners have created a family-like, comfortable atmosphere that is AFFORDABLE! Check out the Tuesday night deal: all tickets $6 and buy a med popcorn and get a med drink free. I’d also like to add that this business gives back to the community in so many ways. Periodic free movies, sensory-friendly movies, even football games on the big screen.

Capitol 2 is a great theatre, that is even more enjoyable now with its new renovations. Great prices and great prices for concessions as well. And its always fun getting to see the miss lovely joy!

This theater is great for a parent wanting to take their kids to do something fun. Small, clean, quiet. Not a huge crowd. Even better is the history in the building but the best part is not the prices but how friendly the owners are and the accommodations for people with special needs. From the headphones where the individual can have control over the volume of the film to the balcony where you can sit with little ones that need to have movement breaks. And lets be honest, how many movie theaters have a PIG you can see!

Great theater. Small but its got everything you need. I prefer going here then to a big theater

Great for social distance birthday party.

A great family-owned theater with online reservations, reclining seats, low prices, friendly staff, refills on refreshments, and a dancing trick-performing potbelly pig! Newly remodeled. It just doesnt get much better.

Reasonably priced, great staff, great service, great food, and comfortable viewing with the plush new recliners. This historic venue has been treated honorably during the recent renovations.Just as it was decades ago when I first enjoyed this theater, my experience, as well as all other guests experiences, is still treated as the most important factor in the running of this business.Well done Capitol ll !!! Thanks for all youve done.

Really comfortable and clean. Exceedingly friendly staff. Having assigned seats according to availability means you should try to get there early if that is an issue but we have enjoyed the times we have visited even when we once got the last two seats

Great little theatre. Need more adult shows

It is a very nice small town theater. They are currently (2019) remodeling to make it even nicer. You must see Joy the mini pig! They offer some free events, check it out.

The updates to this theater are phenomenal! The recliners are very comfortable. They seem to go farther back than the ones in Altoona. I will definitely be going here more often

Newtons Capitol II Theatre is absolutely wonderful! The employees are all friendly and my family loves the new recliners. Now we have no reason to head to a larger town for similar type seating. We love it!

Love the remodel. Nice comfy recliners. Staff is always happy to see you.

It has reclining seats just like the big competitors but still the small town friendly non crowded atmosphere. Love it!

Always a good time excellent place to watch movies

They show Two movies at all times. So your twice as likely to find something you like.

Very impressed. Been in newton since I was 6 years old, its good to see someone make it Nice and do some much needed improvements!

My family and I loved our experience here. We traveled to Newton from Arkansas to visit family and our children desperately wanted to see Maleficent. After comparing prices online between Newton, Grinnell, Altoona, and Marshalltown we decided on Capitol II. Upon stepping in the doors you instantly get that impression of a family owned and loved business. You have the old theater ropes to lead you to the counter and a couple smiling faces behind it. We got the feeling you had as a child in the 80s being treated to the movies, except the comfort level was WAY better. The prices for tickets and snacks are reasonal, the seating was extremely comfortable, the restrooms very clean and family friendly (theres a tiny toilet for young children), and the people running it seemed wonderful. We would definitely recommend anyone give it a try. We will be back the next time we are in town.

Great experience! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Big city quality with a small town atmosphere.

Very cute little place. There in the middle of remodeling so it was a little messy but once there done it will be very cute! People are super nice friendly and sweat! Also i love the popcorn buckets. At other movie theaters there so thin and they fold at the bottom theres are thick and are flat at the bottom so the butter stays in.

We love the seating as well as all the other many renovations that were made. So great ful this theater is open and running ️

Our first time after the renovation. Love, love, love the new reclining seats! Great popcorn too. Love the new look.

Love having our local theater in Newton. Took grandaughters today to Dumbo. Although I do not like having to pick out my seats ... thats for the big town theaters as far as Im concerned :(

Very fun, very comfortable theater ! With very friendly people!

New seats are a major upgrade staffs always super friendly and manage to keep some of the small town charm on the square. Parking on the square is always first come first serve but there is plenty of it. If you get a chance ask the staff about the

This downtown theater is currently being renovated, but is already very nice! The chairs are excellent, sound and screen are great, and of course the popcorn is very tasty. Come to see a show, and meet Joy the theater mascot!!

Very nice theater for a small town

Great small town environment!

Love this place! Joy is great!

If youre unable to see a movie outside of Newton, this is your best option. Sub par movie screen and audio, but smaller audience sizes. Seating is also kinda meh.

The prices are good. The seating is wonderful. Definitely will be going to more movies here in town.

New remodel! They refinished it and kept the old opera house look. It use to be an opera house so there is a balcony which is different than most theaters. They added more soda pop options and they have really nice recliners now. Cheaper tickets than some theaters too! Great theater overall.

Like the recliners. Picking your seat where you sit. Great idea.

Love the makeover. Friendly & helpful staff. Not a bad sear in the house. Choose between recliner or rocker.

Very nice enjoyed the comfortable seats.

Awesome original movie theater in the Maytag Hotel. Come see the amazing renovations!

Great small town theater, 2 adults, 11yr old, 10yr old, large soda and large popcorn, free refills available $35 and hard to beat.. Pre order tickets available smart way Togo, remodeled up to date seating very comfortable, staff amazing, also can pick your seats if you preorder tickets you can still pic your seats but only from what is left over from pre-sale tickets be smart and pre-order...Great small town movie theater... Must come and check it out should have taken pictures but I didnt..will take pictures next time.

If you ever want some nostalgia with an old-fashioned but still well-maintained movie theater, the Capitol II is the place to go! This place reminds me of the theaters of my childhood, all the way down to the mom and pop accommodating staff, older but comfortable seats and overall atmosphere. I live a couple towns over and happily make the trip to the Capitol II for certain releases.

This place is an awesome little theater. Id pick it over Altoonas theater any day. The seats may not be as comfortable but the price and charm make up for it by far. Plus the theater mascot is just great, I thought she was a dog for a long time.

Its a wonderful local movie theater with great and friendly service. The new seats are also very comfortable!

Love our hometown theatre. The staff is awesome and friendly. The prices are nice as well.

I must commend you guys!! You have stepped up your game, I recently finished you guys again & I was very much pleased with the new design! Plz help up the excellent work & help continue the growth of newton!

A very friendly theater that shows two movies and the have a famous pet.pig called Joy .

LOVE this theatre! Super friendly staff and always a great experience! The owners always go out of their way to make sure their customers are happy.

Cool venue, good snacks. Sorry we missed Joy the pig!

Great popcorn--self service station. If you ask theyll fill it halfway so you can butter it and then fill it the rest of the way up! Plus, they offer a punch card for a free popcorn. :), Our kids love peeking in on Joy the pig and the owners have done a great job getting the movies we want to see.

Love it! And Joy the pot belly piggie, and mascot, is amazing! Enjoyed bringing my niece and nephew here a couple weeks ago to watch my all time favorite movie The Wizard of Oz on the big screen, was a dream come true and I am blessed to have experienced it with two of my favorite people! XOXO

Really impressed as to how comfortable the seats are. Well dine

You get to put your own butter and salt on your popcorn! Owners are super friendly. The ticket prices are very reasonable. Plus their pig, Joy, is adorable!

Always a good time. Love our hometown theater.

At the Capitol II = 888

Very friendly and clean. Very nice up date.

Comfortable seating. Could hear the movie in the 2nd theatre over our movie at one point.

Its a small town movie theater, with two screens. They have a potbelly pig as a mascot

Old theater working on becoming up to date.

We always have great experiences at Capitol II. It is a clean facility and staff is always friendly. I especially love seeing Joy, the super talented theatre pig.

Love the updated reclining seats! Lobby looks great, too!

Amazing! I love that they are being back a classic look with a modern twist!

The owners and employees make the business. They are super friendly. The kids luv their pet pig too.

Love the comfy seats

Still finishing remodel. Seats are greatStaff very helpful.

Nice price. theres balcony seating which was nice. The seats are older but still comfortable enough.

My favorite theater

Great seats and service.

Nice small town theater. The employees were very nice and friendly.

Only one star because that is what is required to get to this point. My wife and grandbabies were asked to leave a KIDS movie because of our year old grand daughter was being fussy, from being corrected by the way. For petessake it was a kids movie and if someone thinks the theater will be silent they need to be evaluated along with the procedure of the theater itself should be evaluated. Im very disappointed because Im big on keeping my business local to my community but you lost business from this and I will be blasting your business all over the web and locally to whoever. I called to talk to someone after my wife told me about this but of course I didnt get anyone. What a joke.

Love this place.

Great Place to Watch New Movies!
