A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

He movie is good, but the original 1990 has more suspense, is much better

This is sub-standard run-of-the-mill horror with no story, no character-development, a ridiculous cast and worst of all: it isn't thrilling or scary at all. Just one helpless and unimaginative executed "scare"-scene senslessly glued to the other. What a mess! There is nothing here that you haven't seen before at least a thousend times. Especially the episodes with the school-bullys are cringeworthy formulaic. The only thing clever about this is the marketing. They sure had me thinking that this wasn't just a trashy horror-flic. After the first dull "scary-basement" scene, i knew what i was in for. Watched ist till the end in disbelief, though. Still can't believe how boring this was. Sad.

IT has a lot of good elements such as Penny-wise and the main cast. Penny-wise was portrayed pretty well and he is used very well throughout and the main cast are likeable, funny and relatable in their situation. The film has a really good story of course being based on the Stephen King book and is probably one of the best modern horror films to have come out.It also has a lot of memorable scenes that is more than can be said for most horror movies coming out nowadays, such as the sequence in the old house, the projector scene in the garage and the iconic opening.My problems with the movie are in its tonal inconsistencies mainly, such as parts of the film jumping way too quickly between comedy and horror which can dilute the situation the characters are in sometimes. For example the rock throwing scene feels very out of place for me. It also isn't all that scary and doesn't have any truly haunting or suspenseful scenes.Overall I think IT is a good movie and is worth seeing but still I think it is over-hyped and over-rated.

Good effects and skarsgard does a great job as pennywise but splitting it into two movies was a bad idea.
