Am I Missing Something?

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Almost everything I've seen by Stephen King has proven to be dull, insipid, a real bore. This piece of rubbish maintains the standard! I have given it a 2 instead of a 1 because the children are fine actors. Richard Thomas (John Boy) is the same as he always is, alas. This is one movie to miss. Horrid. Awful. Miserable. Crappy.

Now this is how you do a good horror film with no Cgi grafts but with good writing I have always wanted too see this movie as it look really good and what to say I really enjoyed it Tim Curry is great as pennywise the clown and he does a fantastic job at it while it may not be as good as the novel its still wroth watching soundtrack is very well done giving it a very spooky tone Stephen King has blown me away again with his movies and this is What I call a good horror film horror films in the 90s where at their finest as it was the golden era of horror films. Now I have heard about the 2017 remake and I plan to watch it but while it be as good as the original only time will tell fantastic horror film from the begging to the end 10/10

Better than I expected though too long . Not particularly scary though it had its moments . Haven't read the book or seen the earlier version so hard to compare but this comes from the mind of a genius . Stephen King is one of a kind and the story is intriguing.Is it worth watching ? Not sure that's a yes , if you don't see it you wouldn't have missed anything but it did very well at the box office so it's proved to be a popular film Pad.A 5/10

Just recently saw the new film adaptation of Stephan King's "It" but before I can write an review on that, I think it would be necessary to review this one first. The one that is pretty much overshadowed now by its remake's success, the mini-series from the 90s that gets a-lot of mixed reviews as years followed, even now with the new one being released, some say it was good, some say it bad, me however, I'm in between about the film, as I do got a-lot of credits to give this movie for, I do however, have a-lot of complaints about it.Basically the plot is that in this small Maine called "Derry" have a history of missing children, one of which is the younger brother of one of our main characters, Bill Denbrough, Georgie who was proved to be dead, and soon the actual abductor/killer of these kids, who is a being that can turns into certain things that often feared children, especially a clown that is often turned into named "Pennywise", and then started to threaten Bill by revealing he's next, along-side other children such as a obese nerd Ben Hanscom, asthmatic Eddie Kaspbrak, Jewish Boy Scout Stanley Uris, loner Beverly Marsh, Comic Richie Tozier, and African-American Mike Hanlon, and soon these kids would come together and fight this unknown being and once they thought it was dead, they all later moved-out of the town as Adults to moved-on with Life, except for one who believes in a possibility of it's returning. Years later, strange things started happening again in which children are back disappearing which leads to a proved factor that it wasn't dead after-all and that these kids (Now Adults) must back together and fight it again, this time tries to really kill it.The movie good stuff is from the kids' characters which lead to one of the bad things to mention about this movie with them as Adults, now each kid have a almost the exact good quality about them, being interesting to watch, and having such great scenes. Although I do have couple of complaints about this. One is the female lead, Beverly, now its not a issue of the fact she's ain't a redhead in this film like she was in both the book and the remake, but the downfall is that she not like her Tomboyish character shown in the book, which is a-bit of a downfall look at this. It more sense that she's a tomboy because she the only female character of the group of kids and she not portray as one, although her abusive father was shown in this film and their relationship was well-done I guess. The second complaint is this one scene with Eddie in which he encountered Pennywise in the shower room, now the problem with this is that the scene just ends, as it just went back to the current time, like what the hell, are we supposed to use our Imagination or what, like this was no excuse what-so-ever. Now the one character that really do the best out of all of these characters was Pennywise himself. Tim Curry who plays him, did a great job, now the newer one is more superior than this one, but still seeing his scenes in this film, in both the first half and the second are absolutely great and a-bit amusing to watch. The second is kinda like just a downhill of the film, with the adults just boring and a-bit uninteresting to watch, and despite we do have Curry there, he can't even saved the film. Now I'm not going to complain about the bare use of Gore, as this was a made-for-TV film, so I'm just going to let this slid. The scares in this film, looking at it now I still kinda see how its creepy, but I don't really feel scare about seeing this so, it would make sense as it just a made-for-TV movie.Over-all this film was just mediocre, I kinda don't understand why they didn't even do the idea that the people behind the remake are doing by cutting it into two parts, one being the kids, and the other being the adults, all in theatrical, but oh-well. If you haven't see this film which is understandable, I suggest checking-out the first part, and as watching the second part just goes to where Pennywise is shown, now that what is worth seeing in that half.
