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

Hands down the best time I've had at the movies all year. It is a fucking blast!

Basically The Goonies with a demonic killer clown.

The kid from Stranger Things steals the entire movie. His one liners were absolute gold. My sides were acing. He says this one line after the rock fight and I was crying real tears.

All of the kids were exceptional. Every single kid knocks it out of the park. Everyone has their own distinct personalities, characteristics, quips, and quirks. The chemistry between the group was outstanding. There's so much great banter among one another I haven't seen this type of group comradery between kids since The Goonies and Stand Bye Me. Mind you, those movies…

"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)

87

Pitch-Black danger; the first "'New Line Cinema' in spirit" horror joint. Successfully embodies the commitment to shockers of the 80s while ignoring, but not condemning, the ever-present faux-tactility of the 90s and their rebellion to a growing canon of Horror movie-making. Hiring Chung-Hoon Chung as its cinematographer was truly a blessing. It would make for a perfect capper of a Halloween night with Jason Goes to Hell, New Nightmare, and The Mangler, and it's just brimming with aesthetic creativity entirely concerned with genre replication. It goes far and away past 'homage', severing the Spielbergian myth at its elbow with a cleaver straight out of In the Mouth of Madness. A little uneven tonally, but so is the source, and…

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

CW: brief reference to CSA

I have questions.

Are all of the adults in Derry complicit in this (yes, painting of a woman dropping the baby in the well, I saw you) or just incredibly incompetent? How is an accident that killed 88 children something that has to be discovered and not, you know, the subject of a yearly memorial service that all of the kids except the new one would at least be somewhat familiar with? How is a pillar of (magically floating) bodies and detritus under a large vent letting in sunlight something the police or other authorities were unable to find? How did they never search the sewers? How is it a bunch of kids were able…

Review by Michael Cuesta ★★★

This movie isn't too scary but its still enjoyable if you go in with the mindset that it'll be an R rated Goonies.

People thought this was scary? Correction. People thought this was good?
Review by cipher_0 ½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

One hell of a crappy movie and one of the worst interpretations of King´s material, for example due to massive plot changes combined with sexism (the guys save the girl - urgh!) or a totally not-frightening clown. In my opinion Curry´s done it a million times better. I even today sometimes have nightmares because of his (Curry´s) diabolical representation of this super malevolent being. I know, the 1990´s version also has its downs and can´t reach the deep subtext of the book, nor the complexity - the material should be turned into a mini series or something like that. I really don´t get why this trash gained so much success.
Review by Mazintas

What a pity. Material ripe for the picking delivered with the laziest possible execution: a barrage of poorly-orchestrated jump scares and thinly-sketched caricatures, all at the service of a cookie-cutter narrative, which extrapolates only the superficial aspects of King’s novel (Muschietti literalizes that which is deliberately non-literal). Another travesty in a recent string of corporate products that pass themselves off as credible works of cinema.
Review by alsabetha ★★★

Si no fuera porque el payaso me recordaba a Joaquín Reyes y me invitaba a tararear "vivo con tu madre..." quizás me habría dado miedo
Review by Liam Cevenini ★★★★

WAY better than its predecessor, although we still have to get Part II of this. The only flaw I can think of, is that Pannywise may have become too scary to be a clown, but still works!
Review by Milan Drakulić ★★★★½

Flawed, but it's still one of the most fun horror films I've seen. Some stuff was weird, like the 80s music montage which felt so out of place, but the great acting and the story really made it an entertaining watch.
8 or 9/10, will rewatch ASAP
