Don't go for pure horror !

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2019)

As said in the title, you won't enjoy this movie if you're just here for the horror. Because this movie felt comedic to me (not in a bad way mind you), mostly thanks to Richie & Eddie, but also with how Pennywise mocks them during the movie. That's actually probably why I loved it so much, because I was often smiling during it.
Of course, if you're there to have nightmares, you'll probably be disappointed.
I'm usually mad when the story of the book is changed, but I like them both a lot.

child and adult Stanley look so alike it made me uncomfortable
as I said before, it was funny at points
I liked the idea of battling their fears more than the real ritual of Ch체d in the book (which is a bit too trippy imo), it makes sense to me
R&E
some scenes were tense even though you could see it coming
Richie losing it at the end is better than being calm and accepting
the first scene is awesome (fun fair), I was getting chills
Pennywise mocking them
the hall of mirrors was a fine addition

not enough Bowers
wish Derry would have been destroyed like in the book, would have been really cool to watch
the clown spider was a bit strange, I guess they just wanted to keep Skarsg책rd till the end
the final killing seemed a bit too easy
in the Vicky scene, Pennywise tries to make her not afraid, which is very contradictory since he feeds on fear
don't know why they didn't break Eddie's arm again (stabbed in the face instead)

I would have gone for 8/10 but I went to see it twice at the cinema and that never happened to me, so one more star for that !
