"Hi Georgie, would you like a balloon?"

Rating: 7/10 (28 October 2017)

From the insane mind of Stephen King comes IT, which was originally a novel from 1986, than the 1990 mini-series starring Tim Curry that everyone know's, to the long anticipated R-Rated feature film that was released September 9, 2017. The film explores what the mini- series couldn't do, with a more expanded story-line and more dark humor that is like the comic relief besides Richie, also the fact that in the background you see Tim Burton's 1989 Batman is playing at the movie theater. That's pretty cool how they included that I think also how they kept true to the novel and the mini-series is important to me as it show's consistency work's in this situation, while obvious changes were made for good reason's. Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise was amazing as it introduced a new, next generation, creepy clown. And the balloon's were good but used a little bit too much as in the beginning they were good by the end it was okay. The acting was solid with the kid'shaving actual lines that kids nowadays would use (authentic). Andy Muschietti directing and his wife Barbara Exutive Producer P.G.A., a ton of writer's and Stephen King's seal of approval make this a fine film to watch not only for it's reputation but to enjoy.
