someone in the front row released a red balloon during the movie and the whole theatre lost their shit

"time to float"

JUST earns 4 stars, because what it gets right, it REALLY gets right. does for horror what super 8 did for sci fi. i'm still trying to figure out exactly where i stand, and it might be too early to tell, but this feels like something special (or even just on the brink of it)

you should probably catch this in theaters (if you can handle it)

IT (1990): pennywise: boo 
                  kids: AAAA!

IT (2017):  pennywise: boo 
                   kids: fuck off

jack dylan grazer has the power to save the child comedian industry and the ONLY reason he hasn’t yet is because no one wants that

there was one scene where finn wolfhard's character calls the Token Dream Girl "molly ringwald" after she says something cheesy and it's so comforting to know that even in a fictional maine town where a killer clown is literally eating children alive, miss molly kathleen ringwald remains the icon of the 80s

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie even more than I did the first time I watched it. The actors did amazing, the dialogue felt natural, and the pacing was perfect. This movie has a more comedic element to it than horror. That being said, it does not take away anything from it's enjoyment; in fact, it adds to it. The storyline is enough to keep you on your toes.

'It' was such a great surprise for me as the film business struggles to dish out great horror pictures.

I love the atmosphere that clouds this movie. The score is fantastic and different from all the other horror movie scores. The pacing of this movie is great and it never feels like it slowed down. After many rewatches, this movie still holds up and has many easter eggs which I appreciate.

Bill Skarsgard does an incredibly memorable performance as Pennywise the dancing clown, living up to Tim Curry who previously depicted him. Most of the child actors shine in this movie. 'Richie' and 'Eddie' were great characters, they injected this movie with plenty of humor (that works!). Two of the child characters don't get as much development as the others, but that's my only complaint.

Stands as probably the best King adaptation in a while, and I prefer it to the sequel. The original script ideas sounded kind of out there and there’s scares here that still get me when I know they’re coming, so that has to say something. I wish they didn’t change Ben into the historian. That’s Mikes thing.

i love everything about this movie. that's all

oi georgie, wanna buy some penis enlargement pills?

God I love Wyatt Oleff:)

Spooky CGI things happen one after another to some children (some of whom are better at acting scared than others, like the experienced Stranger Thing’s Finn Wolfhard), and adults are unexplainably awful to them in between those scenes. The film ends. Watch the original IT instead.
