IT is good

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2019)

When you go to watch a movie that is an adaptation from a novel, you basically fall into one of two categories: you're either one who read the novel and wants to see how the novel's adaptation into the cinema will play out, or you're one who didn't read the novel and just want to watch a good movie. I'm the latter.
So, basically what plays out is that there's this one evil entity that wakes up once every 27-ish years and, when it does, it goes out hunting its favorite prey: kids. It feeds not only on human flesh, but also on their fears. There are a bunch of kids going missing on the city of Derry, Maine, and people seem to pay little attention towards this; it kinda bothers me. Then again, people seem to be f'ed up on their minds on Derry; pretty much everyone we are introduced in the movie has some sort of psychological disorder, as minimal as it may be.
One thing that I'm not so sure is how the Losers' Club realise so fast what is going on. We see It playing tricks on them all and, all of the sudden, they know what they are in for. Once again, I didn't read the novel, so I'm not sure how the story unfolds there, but in the movie, I felt that they were way too smart; soon they know pretty much everything they need to know. I don't know...
Acting is great! Everyone is awesome on their expressions and emotions. It even has some comic relief that made me chuckle for a while. Great stuff.
It is a good movie. I'm not sure if people who read the novel will like it, but as a movie by itself, it is good.
