An unsurprising let down

Rating: 4/10 (21 September 2017)

Whatever you want to say about your emotional involvement to particular themes, objects, characters in this movie is irrelevant, as are other accidental issues concerning the movie. This movie cashes in on the current retro revival. Of course the new Pennywise is not good; how could it be? They said they wanted to rethink the character, update it, if you like. We live in an age of unbelievable stupidity and lack of originality. Pennywise was updated accordingly, and it is bland. Say what you will about Tim Curry, but the original Pennywise is far better, scarier, more memorable, and had an amazing dark humor. The new Pennywise has CGI and a hygienic visual. **** this new clown. **** this movie. The dialogues with him are unnatural and a bad attempt at being scary while using dark humor, but it fails altogether. It's kitsch and insulting to the intelligence. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the loser's group is kinda OK, though Eddie's mania is a bit over-the- top.
To the hell with this movie, the "critics" (paid buffoons with an exaggerated sense of self-importance), but most of all with the public, who feeds and incentives bad cinema because they are too lazy to think, and cling to cheap emotional attachments.
Screw y'all.
