It Certainly Misses A Few

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2019)

I certainly enjoyed this film, it was well directed, the acting on point, the soundtrack was amazing, and Pennywise was "something"
It is mostly accurate to the book, but take it with a grain of salt. This movie is certainly more of a cheap horror and more of a comedy than anything else.
When I hear horror, I want it to be done well. The first few jump-scares were either shown in the trailer, or expected or just hilariously bad. The visual effects on the "FEARS (monster/pennywise etc.)" felt rubbery, at times very unpleasing to the eye.
The references were nice to see, at times in the background there's a poster or something to look like Pennywise.
Stephen King makes a cameo as an Antique Store Owner, which was nice and a bit unexpected to see, anyways it's a joy.
The movie was good, but wasn't great. It's a movie I would most likely put on as background noise and so often I would look up, take notice in what's happening, then continue whatever else I am doing, reading a book, writing or whatever.
It's good, but not great. It's funny, but not much of a horror movie. It's "dark" but won't leave you speechless. It's something, that is all.
