IT is not like the original

Rating: 5/10 (13 September 2017)

Comparing the original "IT" (1990) to this one takes the usual route of the original was better. The original went bam,bam,bam boom and pulled you in. This one stayed way to long on building up drama when the original did it much quicker and got to the point. This also does not stick to the plot of the original and takes liberties in making it something that it is not. I am not disappointed in it because I knew months ago when I seen the (2017) clown that it wasn't going to "have IT" so this went along as planned. PLUS this is only part 1 which I did not even know because I always saw IT as one movie even though it was a TV mini-series shown in 2 episodes. The original IT was 3 hours & 12 minutes for both. This first part is 2 hours & 15 minutes so my original assumption of it dragging on is correct.
