None will be disappointed.

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2017)

In an outstanding adaptation of the original novel, I was smiling half the movie at outstanding storytelling and sheer joy of youthful exuberance, and cringing in my theater seat half the movie at outright creepiness and bloodcurdling terror.
With respect to Tim Curry, the 1990 TV miniseries didn't cut it. I'm not a horror film aficionado; slasher and saw movies don't pique my interest, but the original It novel was an important entree in my youth, and the TV screenplay adaptation was weak sauce. TV censors would never have allowed the novel's horror to come through; nor would they have allowed the important youthful love and bonding of the novel to come through as written by King, ergo, the screenwriter just left it out.
Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd is excellent. What Pennywise delivers to the characters and we the viewers is nothing short of terror. Makeup and CGI contribute, true, but it is SkarsgÃ¥rd who delivers the real deal, with his facial and vocal presentation.
This story is in part, a coming-of-age tale, the juxtaposition of a child's ability to see and combat evil, and an adult's compromising weakness when faced with the same thing. When published in 1987, there was a coming-of-age portion of the novel that was clearly not acceptable in 2017 morality. SPOILER> In the 1990 miniseries, this concept was merely left out, obviously NSFW, and thereby failed to integrate the coming-of-age idea with the two story lines. In the 2017 movie, the screenwriter does a simply phenomenal job of capturing the concept in a way which does not offend modern sensibilities. None will be disappointed.
