I enjoyed IT (excuse the terrible pun)

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2017)

Before I sat down to watch this, as a huge King fan disappointed by many adaptations, I decided to leave the book behind and just treat this as any other movie. First of all I have to say I didn't find it scary however I did enjoy it and I was never bored. Although the film was set in a different time to the book, it was a good homage to the eighties. I feel that if you go to watch it with the book or the previous adaptation at the forefront of your mind then you may come away feeling that it was lacking but as a stand alone I thought it was definitely one of the better films this year. Once they settled into it, the kids did a great job and I enjoyed the humour. IT is a long, complex book and, given the running time, I think they did well getting the main stuff across. I'm just looking forward to chapter two!
