Predictable Setup

Rating: 3/10 (24 September 2017)

The problem with this movie derives from its need put a scare in every scene which becomes predictable. The scares devolve into these music driven boring fear fests that get shoved down the viewers throat that need to happen to every character. Another problem is that this film is plot driven ad opposed to character driven. Some characters are just there for comic relief and others exist to make Pennywises "death" more believable. And every character acts like nothing happened directly after a scare. If real people were in this situation they wouldn't charge in head first to attack a demon clown because their friends brother died, no one is that brave and because of this plot driven story few characters have half decent motivations. The end of the movie devolved into an action thriller, with the kids going to attack pennywise, yes kids kill a clown demon...believable right? The final 2 minutes of this movies is a setup for the sequel so that the studio can make larger heaping piles of money. 3/10.
