Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (27 October 2018)

I love the original book by Stephen King and though it's really bad I enjoyed the mini series mainly due to Tim curry's performance and the campy nature of it. I was really excited for this film especially when the trailers came out and it seemed like everything I wanted and when the reviews came out I couldn't wait to see it but when I finally saw it I was kinda let down.
The performances are good especially Bill Skarsgård and it's a pretty faithful adaptation of the book but it was a boring, scareless film. It never felt very tense and any scene that could have been somewhat scary was ruined by a pointless jump scare that made most of the scenes more annoying than scary. However the special effects are well done and the humour is decent however it's overall a boring, frightless film that left me extremely disappointed.
Maybe it may have been the reviews that made my expectations really high but I've tried to watch it a few times trying to like it but just can't. Hopefully part 2 will be better.
