Just an illogical sequence of supposedly scary moments

Rating: 3/10 (13 November 2017)

This movie tries to deal with so many items, it ends up being an illogical mess. Whilst the first scene starts out pretty good, soon the movie derails into a strange mixture between an 80's kids movie, drama and horror. In addition "IT" tries to deal with issues such as friendship, sexual harassment, bullying and...oh yeah, there's also a scary clown as a bonus. The movie lacks a clear motive and story line and basically fails on all of above counts. The horror which is haphazardly thrown in between other types of storytelling is not even truly scary as it is mostly quite ridiculous.
IT does not manage to find balance on any front: it does not know whether it's a drama, comedy or horror, it does not know whether it's intended for adults or children and it does not know how to edit all these scenes together. The scenario is a random succession of scenes which are vaguely connected.
I don't feel like writing much about this highly overrated movie. Simply speaking, a boring and uninspired mess.
