Overall more comedy than horror, but good

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 2019)

So from the beginning it's obvious its more comedy written than the original(with tim curry) and the remade 1st chapter. However, its needed to keep it afloat(get it?). I give a 7/10. 6 outta 10 for the casting and acting. Ive never seen a more grown up version of a character be more accurate, both eddies and richies adults are spot on perfect! The 7th star for being better than the 80s version.
The horror is not there. Every jump scare isnt scary. And the fears IT thrives off of are lackluster compared to 2017. But over all lots of fun. As with all movies, theres some bad parts and just, "wait what?" Like when ben comes down the stairs asking if bill left even though he never saw him even enter. Also richies told to be gay for one scene and then its never mentioned again. Also the bully friend who died in the 2017 film chapter 1 is back, but only seen as an ex machina to get the main bully out of jail and then drives the car and then hes gone for the film entirely. Whats that about? But if you like great acting in a goofy horror film, id say see it. Its a lil longer than need be but really a fun film.
