Which makes me think that they probably should've had it in October, being a more fitting month overall, or even november since that's when the original IT with Tim Curry came out, but I understand that they likely don't want to contend with the new Blade Runner movie, Thor: Ragnarok or Justice League.

I won't give any story spoilers but I can say that it's not your typical horror movie. It's a bunch of different genres mixed together It's weird, thrilling, has some crazy jump scares, but it's not all that scary. It's honestly just a fun ride. It's definitely worth watching

It's definitely worth watching I'd second this, I wouldn't say it was a particularly scary film but I did really enjoy it. I thought the child actors were brilliant, they nailed it imo.

I was enjoying every moment of the film. I felt such joy seeing the kids together, who are great actors and like its been said, the actor who played Richie Tozier was amazing. Bill Skarsgård was an amazing and frightful Pennywise. It's hard to say if he's as "memorable" as Tim Curry, but I dare say he did a better performance. But again, it's hard to be as memorable as Tim Curry. There was a lot of very good atmosphere along with the jump scares. If you weren't frightened by some of the more direct attempts, you were probably feeling them during the more atmospheric moments. Some of which are just plain chilling. Heck, even if you weren't scared one bit, its hard not to like the characters and the overall struggle they have to go through. It's a damn good movie. It's not without its flaws but its really hard not to like it. Edited by EMIYA, Sep 10 2017, 09:05 PM.

For me, such things are more than enough to scare me. However, as I said, there is a lot of atmospheric moments that are just chilling. If I didn't want to spoil them I'd be talking about them all over here. There are parts that can be very unnerving and unsettling.

Some of the scenes were a tad unnerving, and there was some tense moments, but it didn't really feel like a horror film to me. It was more about the kids and their journey (just in a horror-like setting) and that was an enjoyable experience. I thought they portrayed the camaraderie of a group of friends at that age really well.

The Lord of the Dark Posts: 15,357 Group: Member Member #11,968 Joined: January 7, 2015 Gender Male Country Spain	Finally watched it, pretty damn good. Of course I do miss Tim Curry as he was more casual and natural, but I buy this new Pennywise, and some of the changes made for the story in order to make it more "cinematic" were cool, plus I like the fact that it's allowed to show a little bit more gore and horror than the miniseries. Spoilers (duh) Holy s*** I was not expecting them to actually show Pennywise chomping down Georgie's arm, that was awesome.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Berserk all day erry day	Yeah one thing I heard that I thought was interesting, and I don't think it qualifies as a spoiler really, was the gore. Namely because some of the kids in it actually get killed? On screen. Normally when a child dies in something the camera cuts away and it's just sort of implied it happens. Or they just straight up never get killed because children are immortal. I like the sound of Pennywise from some reviews anyway, like how his eyes are kind of squint and sort of glow a bit. Overall he seems not of this world, fitting obviously. No idea when I'll get to see this sadly. Also called it not being all that "scary"

Just like Curry, Skarsgård steals the show. Oh and also The way they had Maturin's presence throughout this entire movie was very clever. We see a turtle appearing on the lake, then some turtle toys and other stuff. IT was f*ed.

Spoiler: click to toggle Some characters like Bowers were seemingly killed off (despite being quite important in the later half) while it would appear Criss and Belch survived. I'm really not sure what I'm expecting most out of Chapter 02 of the movie. Other than getting the psychedelic JoJo-esque a*** kicking that's going to occur near the end.

The Lord of the Dark Posts: 15,357 Group: Member Member #11,968 Joined: January 7, 2015 Gender Male Country Spain	About Bowens I doubt he's dead. I was expecting him to show up after the credits but they kinda left it ambiguous. The only post-credits thing was Pennywise laughing, and that was pretty disappointing. I'm sure we'll see him in the nuthouse in chapter two. And on the subject about the Pennywises I think most will agree with me on the fact that Curry and Skarsgård are the highlights of their respective adaptations, but like EMIYA pointed out at some point, Skarsgård's Pennywise feels like he's trying too hard, almost like he's intentionally written as a younger version of Curry's Pennywise, who felt a lot more in control and confident. Not just in behaviour which is why I mentioned EMIYA, their appearances show which of the two is trying the hardest to be scary. Curry is naturally freaky so the make-up and the costume just add to the creepiness, but Skarsgård's Pennywise has a design that is lacking in color and attractiveness, making it a lot more hard to believe that any kid would get close to him, plus Curry's Pennywise is able to hide his hunger a lot better. Skarsgård's Pennywise DROOLS in front of Georgie, for crimeny... Edited by Darker, Sep 21 2017, 05:29 PM.
