Simply A Masterpiece

Pretty Good

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Well.. seem few comments, and i have to say that i dont understand ppl that this verison as same as i dont understand ppl that love it and then give it like 6/10 or 7/10 ...I've seen this in the 90s ,and ive seen the new verison as well. Its really hard to say that the new is better when u grew up with this one. Now. i havent read the book nor do i plan to,but i heard theres a part in the book that both movies missed to show lol .. maybe if it was made in the 70s or if ppl wouldnt freak out about everything in this day and age, it would have made it on the big screen ..anyhow, i dont wanna talk about the plot it self .. makes no sence to do that ,theres tons of trailers on youtube for any1 that hasnt seen it yet.But i do wanna talk about the difference between the old and the new .. i with out any doubts prefer the old one. 1.waaaaaaay better actors 2.way better soundtrack and movie music in general 3.the fact that the story is set in the 60s if a recon, fits it way better then the 80s in the new one 4.just the overall feeling, the acting, the scenery the music, the looks of the actors, the way they talk, everything beats the new one everything, it has a soul that the new movies of today cant ever have, u can tell its made with love and passion , it really brings u the overall feeling of Derry it self and what the teens are going trough ,the movie is more realistic not in the sence that it can be real lol but in the sence of how its made, it looks more real ,more humanOverall a great movie that is for sure hard to beat ,without any doubts the best horror movie where kids are involved as the main caracters.

I get the creeps every time I see Tim Curry as the evil and twisted character of Pennywise. Being a circus clown only adds to the menace, what with the phobia surrounding the real life McCoy. Tim Curry is the one to watch: he may not have as much screen time as the other main characters but he makes all of his scenes count for something. I thoroughly enjoyed this television mini series of "Stephen King's IT" as it captures the very essence of the bestselling book. The various subplots had to be left out of the teleplay due to restricted broadcasting time but that's understandable. For those who don't know the plot, a group of kids in the late 1950s engage in a battle against a ghostly killer (Pennywise) who has been murdering some of the local kids. After believing they have defeated him, the child characters leave the town and go their own separate ways except for one. Many years later, Pennywise has returned to wreck more havoc in the same town. All of the main characters from before are re-united in order to finally defeat this evil clown once and for all. The suspense factor is cranked up a few notches as everyone is forced to confront their worst fears, courtesy of the clown killer. The fact that the villain is a supernatural one only adds to the dramatic effect. There is usually something quite unsettling about the whole story, where nothing is what it appears to be. Aside from Tim Curry, the rest of the main cast act pretty well. The flashback scenes don't clash with the contemporary ones and that is important in that it helps to maintain a smooth narrative. This is definitely one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's work in any medium.

It is often loved by most for terrifying a generation and creating the cult-hit monster, Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Despite the highly praised Part One of the Mini-Series, It is infamous and is ridiculed for an unforeseen and utterly surprising finalé, which, no doubt will leave you wondering. Directed and co-written by Tommy Lee Wallace, (who had also directed "Fright Night: Part 2", "Halloween III", and episodes of "The Twilight Zone") as well as Lawrence D. Cohen, who has starred in writing Stephen King adaptations, debuted with the world-renowned "Carrie" (1976) then "It", followed by The "Tommyknockers" and finally, the remake of "Carrie" (2013). This new installation in Stephen King adaptations was followed by the success of "The Shining", despite Stephen King's opinion, the author of the novel "It".After many children are reported missing or dead, seven children band together to attack the culprit of this heinous crime: a shape-shifting clown who eats children. The idea itself is terrifying, and Pennywise (the name of this murdering clown) is played by Tim Curry who can switch between the murderous intent of a madman, which is perfected in the very first scene, to an inviting, genuinely funny clown which is, in context, creepy enough.Curry's absolutely brilliant performance goes matched with the seven kids who face off against Pennywise, whom we all can feel a sense of relatability. The mini-series Part 1, is fantastic, but, as foretold, the second part is luck-lustre and seems to drag on for a longer-than-necessary amount of time, reintroducing characters that were better off left alone. Despite that, it was much better than expected (possibly because of the familiarity held with the ending) and, in numerous scenes, you can feel the anticipation of that moment which, may or may not be delivered, installing a sense of dread every time you see anybody you don't already know.The mini-series, as expected, does keep the violence and gore to a minimum, but, (partly thanks to a chilling soundtrack by Richard Bellis) the mini-series is, in fact, scary, and it is easy to see how Pennywise has traumatised so many children.

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
