How did this get a 6.8?

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2012)

I grew up watching Stephen King's TV mini series "It", "The Stand" and "The Langoliers" amongst others and have read various books. Not going to spoil anything, but I had high hopes for this movie and was very disappointed. I sat watching this movie with my little sister and I have never turned a movie off before it ended. Both of us were bored and literally sat there predicting successfully what was going to happen next. After a while, it became boring because nothing was interesting about this movie at all - It had a predictable plot, the characters weren't that interesting and nothing scared anyone. It's a shame because I like the actors, just that the screenwriter did a terrible job and there's no way anyone could ever get me to watch this movie again.
