Don't believe the Hype! Really bad movie given the budget and talent

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2018)

I'm done believing the hype and fake reviews coming out of Hollywood. This movie had a huge movement behind it of polished previews, reviews from "professional" critics, and teasing trailers.
The result? A completely disappointing movie with no pacing, no continuity, questionable plot, and inappropriate content for the youth market who at the time of release was obsessed with the inane "creepy clown" phenomenon.
I would like my money back!
The children in the movie, and the young people who were fascinated to watch this film were exposed to completely inappropriate imagery that is gratuitous and does nothing to build fear or tension or empathy or investment in the film.
It seems that "It" is simply a succession of scenes that are supposed to comprise a horror movie, but actually it's only a contrived, overwrought mixture of cliched children and CGI characters.
No recent movie has been more hyped with less enjoyment than "It".
The hype and fake positive reviews for this movie are totally dishonest.
