Some plot issues, but kept my attention

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2019)

Okay, first thing is first, this movie could have been a lot shorter. Many of the reviews saying that there were too many character lines to follow and that some just didn't fit into the context are definitely true. Also, I do agree with reviews that it was annoying how "IT" would come attack when all of the kids were together at one time, since getting them alone would be much more efficient if it truly feeds off of childrens' fears. Then after attacking them, IT would just kind of...disappear all of the time.
Now, some people say that the ability of IT to do anything and everything is annoying because IT seems to have no set and specific capabilities. He can change appearance, pop up anywhere, sprout tentacles, whatever..you name it, IT can probably do it. But then again, that's what I LOVED about IT. We don't actually know what IT is. Apparently it's some kind of evil force who masks himself as clown and preys on childrens' most inner fears. IT is not human, is it a demon? Some kind of alien? I liked that IT could do all of these things, because it wasn't predictable for me.
The movie wasn't scary in the sense that it had a lot of "BOO" moments. In fact, I think there were only a couple, but a lot of the things were completely messed up. It was more psychologically freaky in that I was like "WTF" a lot of the time! That's my own personal preference though. Some people like stuff that jumps out at them the entire movie.
Another interesting fact about the movie is that it has a good deal of...comedy! It's basically a horror/comedy kind of like The Visit.
Of course there are plot holes and stuff that kind of doesn't make sense, but I choose to just look over those because it's Hollywood.
