Another of the many films this year to be sacrificed to 80's filler

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2017)

What can I say bad CG, every clichéd jump scare you could image, and a mix of juvenile humor that wasn't even funny when I was a kid with a general lack of tension. Needless to say it's not scary and doesn't hold a candle to the original.
Why they tried to turn the "It" into an 80's Spielberg rip off is beyond me. But those films were for kids. Here the comedy is too juvenile for adults and the horror too much for children. So who is this movie for? Pretentious hipsters...I mean film critics.
Don't get me wrong I love the 80s and don't mind homages but when every film starts doing it, eats up so much run time, and lacks any subtlety it's a marketing formula not an homage.
