Hollywood has been wasting Mendelsohn's vast talent for the last few years now.

i won't gonna play paper boat anymore! jajaja

when the DVD's out, it's going to be a Director's Cut..yay..

I think the movie is a bit too draggy. They spend too much time on the kids without much explanation about the clown or the events happening. Sometimes I felt like I am watching Stranger Things. Overall, good production value and acting especially the girl and the fat boy and the clown of course.

IT is a true stephen King movie, probably one of the closest in recent memory, but it captures everything Stepehen King. Hence folks who dont like the build ups, the creepy characters that are not the monster will find it draggy.

Id say 9, not the scariest movie around, but there are a alot of great scenes, the characters were well established, the detail is amazing (anyone notice almost each TV in the town plays the clown show) and the labour of love is very obvious.

This movie feels more like Stand By Me, but instead of dead body it's creepy clown.
Love it. I'm glad we get to see a good adaptation of IT.
Hope they'll change abit of the 2nd part to make it better as it was my least favorite part of the story.
The movie features great casts and great acting, and I wouldn't have it any other way as a fan of the book.
9/10

It is a very disturbing movie in my opinion.
Patricide, incest

Hahahaha can change title from TBA to 2017 already

Definitely liked this one a lot... stayed very faithful to the original, and the late 1980s... make me really miss those days

I am just so friggin pissed with the censorship.

F-words uncensored, plenty of other innuendos, but there was one word that was censored?? And that last bit (kissing scene?) too?? WTF... this movie is rated 18, leave it be. It's like half way through the movie, the censors decided to take a break and toss the work to someone else. Inconsistent sh**.

It (2017)

Time, how fleeting are thy....

This Stephen King novel, was publish in 1986.

I read it during 1989, because a friend recommended it.

I don't remember liking it (due to Stephen King's writing style) and was mildly amused by the 1990 miniseries because John-Boy (Richard Thomas) from The Waltons was in it.

Again, I was not overwhelmed with "OMG I luv this so much."

Just watched this earlier, and I am tickled pink!!

Why?

For those who is "used to" my reviews, I do tend to "go on and on" about nonsensical reminiscence. I apologise, if I am reverting to my normal style of writing.

The reason why I am tickled pink in, in the book, the story (when the kids were young) took place in the 50s (about the same time as Stand by Me)

In this iteration (this movie), the cleverly moved forward the timeline of the kid to the 80s?

Again, Why?

I have a feeling, they (script writers) sneakily, brought it to the 80s, because alot of people would remember reading IT during the 80s. So they can relate very substantially, because they live it.

Smart S.O.B.s..... (pardon my french)

All the 80s references, were NOT lost to me, and as I had indicated, it added to my viewing pleasure.

Production Designer Claude Paré did a fantastic job (bringing back the 80s). Same goes to Set Decoration, Rosalie Board.

And of course Costume designer, Janie Bryant.

Script, was great. (I did not appreciate the books going back and forth between the adults and children)

Cast, strong (poor Georgie.....)

And, I totally agree with the R rating. Kids, please do not watch this until you can handle it.

Great Movie and the fact it is horror, heaven....

My Two Sen

What's up with the fucking sick people who want to see the kissing scene. Fucking pedo. Go and do it with your wife/gf. Stupid pedo

"Creepy as fuck"

Lel. Pussy

Not scary, but it does have its 'surprise' moments. But definitely not scary

Fuck you. Do you even know the difference between creepy and scary?

Hey Guys. Chill okay. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. Please stop with the name calling.

You know... going by his name, he should be sticking to his morals more. This guy... don't bother Blocked him ages ago. Still spams DC threads like crazy but hey, that's him. Name calling, definitely uncalled for.

"IT" was creepy indeed, absolutely. Scary, maybe not so much but still loved it.

I personally don't feel this movie is scary or creepy as all. But it is so good. A great blend of suspense, built up, laughter and awesome moment. I want the sequel to be similar in tone too. The kids are just too awesome

My only complaint is probably the build up and random encounter with IT in 1st half of the movie was a bit too much and IT lost its scary elements to me
