Good but drug on a little too long

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2019)

It lost a bit of its "pizzazz" with the 27 year jump. I enjoyed this a lot, but the adult actors (with the exception of Bill Hader, he stole the show) were honestly just not as engaging, and Pennywise was not as entertaining to watch. He almost felt like a filler character who popped up at times rather than the central looming enemy that was always "in" the scene, even if not physically present. I honestly forgot what film I was watching at times.
With that said, it is certainly worth watching, and some of the scary scenes are truly terrifying, but overall, It Chapter One was overall a more solid film.
