Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2017)

Back in March and April, if you tried to tell me that on September 7th, I would be spending my whole day hyped and amazed by Stephen King's IT, I would have thought you were lying. But as the months, I started to get more and more excited and hoping that this movie would deliver.
Oh boy did it deliver.
I read the book back in late April, which was what got me hyped at first and I wanted to see how it would compare to the book, and I will say that I will be looking at the sequel very excited when it comes.
In the first ten or so minutes, when Georgie meets Pennywise I knew that this was going to follow the book very well and when I saw what happened just a couple of minutes later, I gasped since the makers of the movie was going to go full on.
While I was a little disappointing they didn't put at least five or so minutes on Bill meeting Eddie, Stan and Richie, that was quickly removed with the great character interactions, jokes, and scares. The first forty or so minutes of this movie kept blowing away my expectations.
The interactions and character development of all the members of the club really some of the best I have ever seen in a horror movie and even more so of a horror movie in the last decade or so.
Not only that, but the house scene and the last forty or so minutes of the movie were absolutely amazing. Just when the movie started to slow down maybe a little bit, I got right back into it. Not only was it like the book, but it was even more. That scene with "Georgie" and Bill at the ending left the people next to me and myself absolutely speechless and the guy next to me had his hands at his mouth. The last forty minutes were completely serious and did not stop to make sure that you were ready. Because the situation of the kids was not like that.
I also love how that movie explained everything and when there was a scary scene, they would stop and have a interaction scene or a comedy scene. The movie honestly got better and better because it was just a perfect combination of a character growth movie, a comedy, and a horror film. Pennywise and the kids truly were perfect.
If you have not read the book, you will like it. If you have read the book, you will love it and because I have read the book, I ended up loving it and was so satisfied that they did not shy away from touchy subjects. The only scene they left out was the sex scene, but I can see that because they probably didn't want to have the director accused of being a gross pervert by people who know nothing about that book.
Overall, this is a great movie and I have never been more satisfied with a movie in my life. After giving it some time and thought, I would honestly put this in my all time top ten movies, maybe even top five. There was not one minute, one scene, or one character that I left disappointed with.
This movie deserves every point of the ten out of a ten I give it. If you are considering seeing this movie, just do it. Watch it as soon as you give the time to do so.
I have only said this about one other product in my life (season 4 of Digimon if you have to know) but I would give this movie a 15 if I could.
