Not a worthy remake

Rating: 3/10 (27 November 2018)

Not everything new is better. This isn't as scary as the old one, it's just 'flashier' with better CGI, etc. I can't say I enjoyed this for more than 10 minutes, whereas the original is still a good, faithful romp which more properly depicts the events in the book. Can no-one stand movies where suspense is implied instead of outright pointed out to you any more? This is a poor-man's, dumb-movie version of something that's been done better. Tim Curry does a far better job as Pennywise too... like there's any other thing that needs to matter in the movie.
The acting is fine, but the direction and everything else is pointless; just like this remake. I seriously can't believe people think this movie is even worth 5 stars; it's rubbish.
