Be patient and understand what has been done.

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2019)

The undertaking to make this film is nearly impossible. The book is 1138 pages and trying to narrow that down is such an incredibly difficult task. Andy and Barbara Muschietti did what they had to do to fit hundreds of pages down to the three hour cut that we saw.
Of course no movie is completely perfect, however the roots of the story were presented in a way that did the main cast a proper amount of justice along with the clown.
There were a few missteps in the film, but one needs to sit back and realize the magnitude of closing the door on one of the most intricate stories ever written. Filmmaking is not easy task. All of my respect goes to the filmmakers. Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the film that the Muschiettis have made for you.
