one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's books

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2018)

It is the second film version of Stephen King's horror classic, the first version of 1990 that was to be a television series that Tim Curry as Pennywise in my opinion is very bad, so if It were medium it would be better than this version , but fortunately the film is very good, It hits on being a movie where the children are the protagonists and leave them adults only for its continuation and so the film is not as long as the old and so does not have the problems of rhythm, the film is directed by Andy Muschietti who does his first job as a director in a long-mentor (Mama del Guilhermo Del Toro is based on the director's short) and could not have been a better debut, she does a great direction, does scenes very well directed, not to mention that the film is brave, there is a scene in the movie that I did not expect and shocked me enough because in addition to being violent is totally unexpected, but I liked it, I like brave movies that are not afraid of Shock the audience (obviously does not have to be something Serbian Film level that is a sick film), but that has scenes that can surprise the audience and that adds in history, the cast is sensational, children do a great job in the film, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Sophia Lillis, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Wyatt Oleff and Chosen Jacobs are all great, and Bill Skarsgard I know little of his work but he does a great job as Pennywise being one of the best villains of the year and the makeup is excellent, the film has a great picture and costume, soundtrack good, has a great suspense, knows how to dose well the humor and has its scares, but it is not a movie to frighten so much, not all attempts to The movie is predictable (alright it's based on a book, but in the matter of scaring it should have been more unpredictable), but it's a must-have movie for the book fan and who likes movies like Goonies or even even recent series that took much inspiration in the books of Stephen King that is Stranger Things. Note 8.4
