CGI overkill

Rating: 2/10 (21 September 2019)

First thing, his film is waaayyy too long. The first half is entertaining and creeping with glimpses of Pennywise. However, the main problem with this film, is when they decided to let the CGI team run away with their ridiculous ideas. The CGI part when Pennywise becomes some monstrous spider is plain silly, and just seems to go on and on and on. Why in a multi million dollar film, did someone what realise that sometimes less is more.
This seems to be a problem with a lot of Stephen King films. The idea is good, the films usually start off well, but then just seem to spiral out of control, into a CGI mess. Instead of creepy, Pennywise became boring, non scary, and too be honest, I couldn't wait for the film to end. I didn't seem to be alone in this, as the majority of the audience also appeared bored and disappointed.
Not a patch on the original.
