Great book to film adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2018)

To all those that have heard bad things but read the original novel all those bad things are from people who only watched original mini-series. Part 1 of IT the remake is only covering half the original book like original mini-series but this film in comparison to the first part of the mini series is much closer and conveys more of the character development and background that the mini-series missed. Although there may be some artistic licence employed throughout transposing book to motion picture I believe this film shits all over the mini-series and is a homage and tribute to what is an incredible horror story still thrilling readers today (i know this is a remake and it inspired me to read the book and watch original mini-series and its the first book in my life to make me check my plug hole in the sink at night and think twice before spending time with clowns.
P.S No offence to Tim Curry as Pennywise in the original you set the bar but new film is the one ;-)
