Bad modern "reboot"

Rating: 1/10 (22 September 2017)

Please mind that this comparison is made based on seeing 1990 twice as long classing AND reading the book.
While special effects have advanced since 1990, obviously the idea of horror based on fear, psychological fear, more the visuals, has faded.
Movie misses the grownup part, trying to make this kid only horror. Its forcefully modernized with sexual references, WTF lines by kids, unneeded zombies etc. swapping characters and parts of the story, taking away the ITs strongest weapon - knowing our fears and masking beneath them.
Much of content and context is lost, and I highly recommend to anyone attracted by this budget filler to go for original and 200 pages book. Its actually Lovecraftian monster and not just evil Ronald McDonald. Does not need to rip hands off and produce fake missing posters.
Yup, better done and played IT killed Ronald McDonald,and I like it. No unhealthy advertising to kids :-)
