Glad the updated version panned out to be much better and to a degree the kids outdone certain aspects of the book. Really curious how much of Cary Fukunaga's treatment retain over this version. Pretty sure that could be a very different than this somehow semi arthouse and semi commercial end product.

PS: What's up with all the pedobear enthusiasts keep pointing out the gang bang scene not in the movie. I do question what relevance does that bring to the movie and furthermore it just wrong to expect it gonna end up in a major studio offering. Love it or hate it...Stephen King has a tendency to do over batshit crazy things in his stories.

A very different interpretation of the movie based on the previous scripts by Cary Fukunaga. Thought the casting of Ben Mendelsohn as "It" is perfect. Bill Skarsgard still did a bang up job and I think Mendelsohn will give it more nuanced and even more creepy. Definitely will be much more darker and not afraid to be disturbing.

Not as worthy as the first outing. Movie length and wishy-washy pacing puts me off. Started to feel Pennywise overstaying his welcome by the second act. As good as the grown up casting, but they don't stick the landing on a whole.

As with majority of King's books, his third act usually spiral into mumbo jumbo territory. On the pages, the effect not that pronounce but on a visual medium, it's jarring and messy.
