I laughed most of the time. *spoilers*

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2019)

6 stars for the choice of actors, also they followed the book extremely well, and of course nothing beats seeing Steven King popping in for a scene.
That being said, this was a mostly jump scare movie, it almost felt like on of the sarcastic Scary Movies, I was expecting more tense moments. I think the comic con interviews and others, only made this movie worse
I love a good scare, something that keeps me up at night thinking about it, but all I could think was about Bill Hader and James Ransone being absolutely hilarious. Bill Hader is except when it comes to playing any roll, this movie allowed him free range to be himself.
An other thing I just hated was the "de-aging" Finn's massive buggy eyes from it, the blurry faces, the boys looked more out of place next to untouched Beverly. On the lines of effects, I was surprised by the almost Witcher like creature thru decided to go with.
Maybe I'm just totally desensitized, but this movie felt more like a comedy and a romance than it should have. I found myself laughing through most of it, not shielding my eyes, except for the scene with Bev and her husband. Or maybe it's just simply Adults don't give off the same fear reaction that kids do? The movie was great st making you feel like you're apart of the loser group, would you be afraid? Or would you snap out of it and fight?
Overall good movie, one that I could have waited to rent.
