Mixed feelings, but mostly positive.

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2019)

There's a lot of negativity on here about this film. Some of which I totally understand, and some of it is just people who think they're looking down on everyone from their high horse.
I want to start off with what (in my opinion) was the high point of the film... The casting.. Every single adult who played the part portraying the child characters honestly did a flawless job.
It did a good job at building tension AT TIMES. It did rely heavily on jumpscares that were sometimes predictable.
I'm seeing a lot of negativity about overdone CGI as well. I don't agree with those negative reviews, because it was really no more CGI than what was used in the original reboot.
Now... The ending. This where the spoilers start, so if you haven't seen it, don't read past here. I didn't think the ending was very well thought out. IT was literally defeated by name calling. They could have just done that when they were kids, right? It kind of rendered the whole story being told for almost 3 hours completely pointless. I just thought it was kind of corny is all.
I rate it 7/10 because it was really just a solid ending and a few more good scares away from being damn near perfect. All in all, it was a fun watch.
