A fun, enjoyable ride

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2017)

Being more of a growing up tale than an horror , the movie focuses on the young characters ( for as much as possible given the runtime ) : Dialogues are on point and hilarious, they sound pleasantly childish, like it should be and the relationship between each other are most of the time well defined. Penniwise doesn't appear much, but that's not necessarily a defect : Although different from Curry's interpretation, this one is still a solid embodiment of the creature designed by King. Technically speaking, I never thought I would enjoy the score of an horror movie so much, it was really on point and extremely well done, as for the rest, directing and photography were pretty good and functional to the movie. Only complaint regards the tone of the film, which sometimes gets too much over the top with a few scenes
