Just for some clarification i have never gone out of my way to write a review for a film but after seeing everyone's views on "it" it has just confused me as to why this movie is being put down a lot. so I wanted to actually put some knowledge into viewers heads before they write reviews on here or watch the movie itself. (only a few spoilers) All I'm seeing on reviews is that the film isn't actually "scary" and is one of the main reasons why the film Is getting negative opinions and views. The whole point of the movie is about fear, and how the characters on screen interact with the audience to overcome the fear of pennywise. The film portrays such a clever aspect that most horror films these days struggle to do, but most general audiences just aren't getting it . The first few parts of the movie is the most scary parts for the audience and for the actors on screen too , but throughout the movie the kids start to become fearless of the clown and that gave such a big effect on the audience as we did too.
Not only was it full of suspense it was also exciting unlike horror movies that depend on jump scares to attract audiences aka "paranormal activity" The way the clown actually sounds dopey to make the kids thinks he is a silly clown is such a good feature, rather than clowns that sound evil which is a big give away .
People are also forgetting that pennywise is a mastermind and can control peoples minds with illusions and can control how people can think. for example when Georgie was screaming in the street trying the crawl away from the creature, how do people know that pennywise didn't controlled everyone else's mind to ignore what was happening so people didn't realise what was actually going on or couldn't hear the commotion?.(reach into your imagination rather than judge) I hate it when people say this film wasn't scary, because if that's all you want to watch it for then maybe you should look at horror movies with no real meaning or portrayal that actually makes a film more exciting than others. Every appearance that pennywise made was amazing and throughout the film you saw more and more in places less expected to see him , which created so much suspense for the film people are also forgetting what was actually in the book of "it" had all the sexual and other stupid scenes that could've been made in the movie which would've spoilt the film completely making it more of a mockery.
also one of my favourite things about this movie is that it was more realistic than people think. The bullies were extremely violent to the losers which was a lot better than other bullies in films that just give the old nudge and push which fails to be realistic and believable.
The adults too for me were the biggest bullies of all, as adults don't tend to believe what their kids say or tell them and therefore completely ignore everything going on around them. However I think that the adults have had similar experience when they were children and pennywise has manipulated their minds to not look back at their memories so that he cant be stopped,(and this is why people shouldn't judge things before they actually realise how clever the movie is and how much it makes you think). Therefore adults gave more of a sense of realism to the film which adds to a mountain of good things in this movie.
This movie makes you have more of an imagination to what is going on as the book did too, which is a comparison most people are missing. If you think about it ,most things in the movie portray ordinary lives rather than killer clown that most people complained about. for example this involves, friendship, bullying, overcoming fear, childhood compared to adulthood and the list goes on...
The relationships between characters on screen were brilliant and actually made you feel for most of them because of the bond that they portrayed to the audience. For me this was mostly expected and hopefully for many others too, and was far better than the mini series despite tim currys amazing performance. However this modern version is more than what people think and is not any other ordinary horror movie which I think people should appreciate more these days.
as a movie as whole, some places that some cgi lacked a bit and more of the creatures it transformed into could've had a lot more potential however here I am just nip picking. The film was long enough and I believe nothing else could've been thrown in to make this movie better than it already was.
in conclusion if you want to go see a mindless, gore fest movie or a jump scare movie maybe "jigsaw " is more of match for you, but if you want to see a film with a lot more sense and excitement spend your money on "it".
