over hyped, wrong casting of Pennywise

Rating: 5/10 (27 October 2017)

The original movies, although the scariest thing I'd ever seen at the time, when you look at them now, are pretty poor, but they were relevant to the time they were made. But what was great about them, was Tim Curry.
As a child I'd close my eyes to sleep and just see Pennywise grinning at me, it was petrifying. This guy, no. Pennywise just isn't scary, I don't know if it's the makeup, the actor, the script or, most likely, a combo of all 3.
Such a shame this has turned out to be a tick boxing checklist of a Hollywood movie, everything was too structured and safe. But my main gripe is how the guy got the gig of playing Pennywise, makes me not want to watch the second one, of course I will though, and I'm sure moan about the same things again.
