A great reboot.

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2019)

This was a great movie to watch because it kept me invested with mainly two elements: The kids and Pennywise. The kids do a great job and its clear how its set in the 80s and I really like that. It gives us a chance to go back into a time period a lot of people enjoy. Pennywise is incredibly scary at times and can be a little unintentionally funny at times. He's a great villain. However, what's stopping this reboot to be a masterpiece is one glaring issue: Tone. This movie is trying to be so much at once and it doesn't exactly work. Other desicions storywise were really weird and it didn't blend well/didn't make sense. Aside from that, its a good film. I enjoy it a solid chunk of the time and I found myself rooting a lot for the kids and the sewer scene made me laugh and cheer the kids on. 8/10.
