Much better than expected.

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2017)

The child actors are pretty much the stars of this movie. The original put more focus on tension building and specifically Pennywise (played by the great Tim Curry). This is where the remake is different in a good and bad way. The good thing is that the pace of the remake is better, in my opinion. The bad thing is that the new Pennywise isn't nearly as scary as Curry's version.
When I first heard about a remake being made, I thought to myself: Not another stupid remake. Truthfully, this one wasn't actually that bad.
Now that almost 30 years have passed since the original, technology has advanced and many things just look way better than they used to in front of the camera.
This movie's actually funny at times. I don't remember finding things funny with the first one, but of course I watched that one when I was 10. Remember how everyone who has seen the movie at a young age describes it at traumatising?
Anyways, even if a remake - still better than most stupid horror flicks. Probably thanks to Cary Joji Fukunaga (writer, producer, True Detective-creator).
6.8/10 way better than expected.
