IT plods it's way through your heart

Rating: 7/10 (9 September 2019)

Not going to give too many spoilers (Spoiler alert) but the movie is decent enough for a Tuesday evening watch. It starts with a brutal hate crime that ends with a nice bite. Then you're subjected to an 90 minute history lesson into why we are who we are and what brought us to this moment. You will enjoy a wonderful visit with a little old lady who just doesn't seem quite right in the head. I'm not sure what audience this movie was made for, little kids or nostalgic adults yearning for a new adaptation to an old classic.
I do know that for most the heavy use if CGI to replace a well written horror story is getting old. Remember back in the day when you could use decent acting with a good foreboding music score and illicit a grand scare. I miss those days and this movie misses them also.
In the final hour or so the movie picks up a little steam as most movies do so that was to be expected. We get an answer to Pennywise's true form and how he got here but I'm not sure if we got the answer as to why? The group is beset with challenges from everywhere but internal and external and we will lose one beloved character (not going to tell you who). Oh and whoever did the casting for this deserves a big round of applause as they did a great job. The first IT had more scares and this one more of a story wit a few bumps. Go watch and decide for yourself.
