You can never please everyone. People are actually comparing Curry vs. Skarsgard

I havent seen the movie yet. but based on the previews i have seen, it looks more in theme with the book than the old mini series. I think most of the people complaining never read the book and just care about the mini series and the old Pennywise actor. and they can't accept change

Idk if that's complaing TBH.
It's natural to compare actors from the same role. Some people might be angry but like mentioned they probably don't care about the story just the miniseries itself. I haven't seen it yet cause I'm waiting for this weekend where it's hopefully not as packed but I'll probably compare them too while appreciating the differences in the two. Curry killed PW. He didn't capture the essence of IT but he 100% captures the essence of pennywise the clown. I'm not gonna complain about a creepier clown if that's what I get though. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X ...

That's true but some of the most unsettling moments (the very few parts that stood the test of time from that movie) are him chewing the scene.
I'm hyped as all hell though for the new one but I heard the same thing someone said in this topic that it was way less faithful. Like silver isn't in it aside from being just a basic bike with a little cameo of the name being on it. But I also heard there's a ton of Easter eggs too. Any comments yourself? I'm sorta trying to avoid spoilers but I also read the book so who cares lol. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X ...

i havent seen the new IT yet
but the original mini series had issues the parts with the kids was great. the child actors were all fantastic and the most memorable parts of the movie are with the kids but the second half with the adults is pure shit. the adult actors are all worse than the child actors and the story just becomes kind of boring the book had the same issue TBH --- yusketeer ...

Curry's Pennywise dips into Adam West Batman territory on more than one occasion. Maybe it was good for its time...? Not trying to be edgy, but I really don't care for the miniseries' version of Pennywise.

I had no issues with the new actors. Hell, they did great.
The movie just sucked. The flow of the story relies on you having either read the book or watched the previous mini-series to understand what's happening, and critical plot points felt so tacked on. Also a lot of the scares and plot twists...waited so long...they became so predictable. The flow of the movie sucks. The actors did fine. --- "Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse, Skies of Arcadia ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mini series had better pacing - very obviously since they had the luxury of having more time. The build up of the story is far better in the mini series. Getting to the climax of the story felt so much more rewarding.

Personally I liked that most of the jump-scares were telegraphed. I hate useless jump-scares that come out of nowhere, it's cheap and not really scary. This movie handled those scares so good because it gave a feeling of tenseness, unease and just be creeped out. But I guess it's people that want surprise jumpscares is the reason we have millions of shit horror movies now. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It would have been nice to have more of the story fleshed out and have the characters more developed, but they did really well with what they could, considering they are adapting an 1100 page book. It was already 2 hours and 15 minutes, so it's understandable. I'm just glad there's finally a Pennywise that's actually scary. The jump scares are acceptable and there's genuine tension throughout the movie. It's fantastic.
If I want to laugh at Pennywise I'll watch Curry. If I want to be creeped out I'll watch Skarsgard. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've never seen the miniseries or read the book, and I understood the movie just fine. The beginning of the movie established that Pennywise isn't just a normal clown, he's a monster. So with that you can understand how he can do all this paranormal shit. Then later on the movie explains that "It" can take the form of children's fears and that immediately explains the other entities the children saw.
