Overall IT is a good good scary horror film filled with scary horror moments, gory violence, on the edge of your seat stuff, things that will scare you and make you go oh my god or wow or woah, kids, teenagers, adults, trouble makers, dark dirty sewers, nice scenery, family, love, friendship, team work, togetherness, loyalty, some bizarre moments, flashbacks, bad dreams, psychological warfare, mind games, school bullies, outstanding performances from the actors and actresses who played the kids along with Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd as Pennywise The Clown who is my opinion nails it as Pennywise The Clown who is more scary and creepier than the Pennywise The Clown that Tim Curry played in the IT film from 1990 which I have seen once and many other things throughout the film.
So I will give IT an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars and IT is worth seeing if you like the IT film from 1990 and other horror films along the same lines as this.
So if you get the chance to see IT in the cinema then you should go and see it sooner than later and in my opinion the new remake IT is better than the original IT from 1990 but that's just my opinion but you should go and see the new IT and then you can make up your own mind on which IT is better the original film from 1990 or the remake film from 2017.
