Lacking tension and fear

Rating: 4/10 (14 May 2018)

Like many who have reviewed this movie, I too have the same complaints. The movies falls extremely short of the book in regards of a suspense or a thriller. One begins to question did anyone from the writers to the director ever read the source material. Hell even watching the original movie might of helped.
Bill Skarsgärd was going to have a tough challenge ahead of him to even come close to Tim Curry's performance. Anyone would. He just doesn't project the creepy, scary, edge of your seat performance. The kids in the movie have been written to be more like the kids from Stranger Things then the kids from Derry, ME.
