I was genuinely surprised

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2019)

The casting... SPOT ON. If a real adult life version of the chapter 1 existed... somehow Andy and Barbara found. The pure violence and volatile speech matched the book. The grotesque scenes met and exceeded expectations for me. The sheer horror of adult terror pennywise was pure magic. I enjoyed the surplus of Easter eggs. From the mini series to the thing... it was wickedly humorous and vulgar, I was so happy to be a fan of the franchise. I felt for every character and enjoyed the character development we have been waiting for. Maybe a bit much on the CGI but I believe it adds to the false illusion of pennywise and his shapeshifting abilities. A true classic in its own right. I am satisfied and I am grateful for the generous work to transform this novel into an amicable 2 part movie. Hats off. I am content. I am happy with this movie. So much to dissect if you are a fan. They did justice to the book and fans. Plain and simple.
