Anyone giving it above a 6 is stupid

Rating: 4/10 (11 September 2017)

So after all the hype I really went into this movie expecting a lot. I truly believe the best horror films are about simplicity and stereotypical jump scares just don't do it. I was hoping this movie wouldn't be composed of just that. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. Overall I would say it was okay. The kids were great. But after having read the book and been a huge fan of the original I was really let down. ALSO ANYONE SAYING BILLS PERFORMANCE WAS BETTER THAN TIM CURRYS IS ON SOMETHING. To even make such a comment shows a complete lack in knowledge on the character of penny wise. The first scene I felt could've been much stronger on bills part although I was pleased with the rest of his acting in the film. Even still it will NEVER compare to Tims version. I'm the original when Georgie mentions the paper boat floating Pennywise gives a CHILLING orgasmic reaction when he replies "oh yes Georgie it floats we all float down here". This version was missing that initial orgasmic reaction that was so captivating and chilling in the original. This version of Pennywise was so cgi and over the top to a phony point it took me right out of it. And that's not a comment towards bill but rather the direction of the film, I have NO clue why Beverly looked into "It's" bright lights when In the original version that was reserved for Stan and explains his later suicide. There were so many things changed for the negative. Oh yeah and everyone saying they went to see this or liked it all because Stephen king said it was good is an IDIOT he makes an insane amount of money in royalties off of remakes like this from his books of course he's going to say that. He's said that about a lot of crappy films, America regain some integrity when it comes to art and what's mainstream. This is why people like the Kardashians are famous.
