Original was brilliant. Reboot is mediocre at best and unnecessary.

Rating: 1/10 (8 October 2019)

ALL they had to do was CGI the ending from the original movie, re-release it and be done. It would've cost 1/20th what this effort probably cost.
Original was better acted, directed, paced and cast.
Bill Skarsgard was great but Tim Curry embodied the role.
I was an adult when I watched the original and had to turn it off multiple times it was so scary. The new one I had to force myself to finish. And it felt like eating my vegetables before getting to a desert that somehow tasted WORSE.
The reboot just reaffirms the lack of logic the original story has.
I'm going to watch the original again to see if it holds up or if the reboot poisoned my perception s of the story altogether.
