Awful movie! Don't be cheated by it's overall rating!

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2017)

I don't normally write reviews about movies, I usually just leave my rating and move on, but this one is another story... I actually spent some time looking around how can I leave a review.
The only reason I gave it 2* is because the story surrounding the kids and their acting. That was pretty much everything about this movie that was interesting. Whenever some "scary" scene or that moronic clown showed up, I felt nothing more but ultimate boredom and dullness. This movie would have been MUCH better if it didn't involve a futile trying to be a horror movie. Instead, it should have gone with kid's stuff, mutual relations in that age, their adventures during the summer break and stuff like that. The title would be something like "Summer of Billy and his gang" for a start.
In this "It" version, this movie is 2+ hours of waiting the movie to end already and waiting for a moronic clown to disappear and spare us the continuing torture.
I saw at the end that this is only a first chapter. I can say for 99% certainty that I won't see the next chapter, but if that 1% wins over, I will wait for the movie to be available in stores and then fast-forwarding all clown scenes because they ridiculously suck.
