Surprisingly good

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2017)

I have not read this Stephen King novel.
I have seen the older "It" TV miniseries when I was a kid.
Overall, I would say that this new "It" is a pretty good movie when compared to all movies.
Compared to other horror movies, I think "It" is better than most of them.
Of course, "It" is nowhere near as good as "Shawshank Redemption" or "Green Mile" as a movie in general.
Shawshank was meant to win the Oscars. Shawshank is in a class all by itself.
Green Mile was also meant to be included with Oscar talks, although not in the same league as Shawshank.
"It" is just meant to be entertaining as a horror movie. Nothing more.
I still like "The Dark Tower" movie better than "It".
So this year, I saw 4 Stephen King movies: "It", "The Dark Tower", "Gerald's Game", and "1922".
I like all 4 movies, and I would rank "The Dark Tower" #1, "It" #2, "Gerald's Game" #3, and "1922" #4.
