I can't help but commend how well made the film is

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2019)

IT directed by Andres Muschetti is a film adaptation based off the Steven King novel. First and foremost, this movie is directed beautifully. The cinematography and editing is prefect. Also the film sets in the film look incredible, particularly the abandoned house. The performances by these early teenage actors were so entertaining and very real. As for issues, I felt the first 2 acts were a little slow in setting up the characters and their personal fears. The film sort of goes into a repetitive pattern showing each character's fear one by one after each other. Although by the third act the film really picks up, with Pennywise the clown giving a spectacular and horrifying performance. Many critics dislike the film, as they believe it's basically not scary enough. Although as for me I can't help but commend how well made the film is so therefore I give IT an 8.
