We all float down here. Yes, we do!

I enjoyed every bit of this movie. Although I haven't read the book I think the movie explores a different angle that the one we saw in the miniseries released in the 90's. It renovates the story by exploiting the fears that each kid has, giving a little more strength to their characters individually. The CGI at some point might seem like a little too much but it helps to create the ambiance and drives the story right where it needs to go.
The best part of this movie, by far, is the performance of everyone involved. The kids play their part beautifully, but Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd is the crÃ¨me de la crÃ¨me; he reinvents Pennywise in a very darker and violent way. SkarsgÃ¥rd does not try to fill Tim Curry's shoes, cause that'd be practically impossible, he goes in a different direction creating something new, assuming the role of Pennywise as his own and not some role he has to surpass, which he achieves amazingly.
It's not the typical horror movie and this exact reason is why, at least in my opinion, it's refreshing and scary in a unique way. Hands down one of the best horror movies of the last couple of years.
They intended to make something different, a movie that had its own essence and not just a plain imitation, and they succeeded wonderfully.
