Disappointing for deeper reasons

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2019)

The director who must own stock in a CG company, who puts himself in the background of the pharmacy scene doing or saying nothing (M Night is not proud)
Who btw, only got It Part 1 on the strength of the first half of 'Mama' (before CG ruined that films ending)
Does the frustrating act of NEVER making us the Audience feel that any of the protagonists are in REAL danger!
Pennywise just likes to scare and scare and get an inch away from destroying any of the adult "losers" which will save him ultimately but relents EVERY time?
Now, It does kill Eddie towards the end of the movie to save face with King (who's got a fun cameo non-related) but that "kill" was there for It's taking anytime in a MULTITUDE of scenes which makes it less potent and really a peg for some much needed infusion of emotion.
Ultimately the Film is chalked with CG which makes the "suspension of disbelief" nearly impossible!
Horror films aren't cartoons Hollywood.
Please watch 'the thing' (1985) to see what real dread and practical effects can do!
Nonetheless,
With good source material from King and a ridiculously high budget from Warner, the director still couldn't out do the made for TV version.
Great actors weren't enough to save this "what could have been film" but there still is a few scenes of real tension like maybe best demonstrated with the girl under the bleachers.
WHY does that scene work?
Bc that poor little girl is in actual immediate danger!
Unlike the losers club for 95% their IT encounters!
