Stephen King's, IT!

I understand this movie was made in 1990, but WOW it was horrible. It's not scary at all, Pennywise is a joke I just laughed at him, the graphics are so cheap looking and way too many flashbacks. Thank goodness IT was remade the right way, the first movie is made with kids and giving us their complete back story & the second movie they're adults so in IT part 2 flashbacks should be minimum to none at all.

It is, without doubt, my favorite Stephen King book and possibly my favorite book period. I've read it four times and I'm not one of those voracious readers, I just keep getting more colorful images with each reading. King's descriptions are superbly {drawn} written. The movie on the other hand is a sad attempt at bringing life to words. The "monster" is so foolishly portrayed as to be laughable and the depiction of Derry lends no "smell" to the film. The making of this movie should have been postponed until the technology and money was there to do it properly. So many people have seen the movie but not read the book when the opposite should be the case. The book; score 100. The movie; score 19.

Huge horror buff....The original mini series was great..corny...but great. The new movie in theaters is atrocious..trying to make you jump out of your seat so many times it gets annoying. Twas more a comedy than a horror, and it honestly felt like it was making fun of the original. No character adaptation...so you have no clue why these kids are being attacked by different monsters. It's supposed to tell you about each kid and their personal fears, which in turn makes it even more scary because you would feel like you were in their place..living their fears...but no, they skipped right over that and just flat out destroyed an original masterpiece...Steven King should be embarrassed by this. And anyone who gives the new movie in 2017 a thumbs up has no idea what real horror is..if you were afraid of clowns and were able to watch this CLEARLY they did NOT justify or capture the fearsome beast on screen the way it should be...Go watch Clown. It's absolutely amazing! Not even slightly corny and 100% well done! And you probably won't sleep at night if you're afraid of clowns...ISN'T THAT THE POINT?!
