A Wonderful Renewal of an Amazing Book

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2018)

It (2017) is a great addition to the long list of Stephen King adaptations. The child acting was good, not amazing, but not bad. The scene in which Georgie gets his arm taken off was a bit under-acted, but it is understandable. The portrayal of Pennywise, the dancing clown, by Bill Skarsgård was outstanding. He gave an entirely new and refreshing take on the clown and definitely added to the overall well-being of the movie. The movie was not particularly scary, but it was very entertaining. The movie had some flaws, including a few scenes that did not sit well with the flow of the movie, but the cinematography, acting, and script was overall really good.
