You can expect to miss parts of the movie because you're on the internet for some reason instead of just watching it.

It was ok. I didn't find it scary and the dancing pennywise doomed any chance of me finding it frightening.

It's scary, stylish, funny, and intense. A truly frightening movie in an age where horror films are nonscary cash-grabs. Very entertaining to watch.

You can expect it to be a less faithful adaptation of the book than the 1990 miniseries.

The jump scares were cheap and repetitive. The only part I thought was scary was the flute lady.

Yeah if you're talking about the 1990 movie.

The new one was lame as fuck.

The 1990 one is a big childhood memory for me and even I realized IT 2017 was way better

Going back and watching the 1990 version, I realized just how bad the 2nd half of it is.

Tim Curry is great, but a lot of just doesn't hold up.

1990 IT is a god damn comedy ffs.

2017 IT has a couple good scares, but I'd classify it more as creepy than scary overall.

Both are about equally faithful to the book, but in wildly different ways. Tbh neither is a particularly faithful adaptation - both cut out huge swaths of the book and neither is as terrifying. On their own merits, 2017 IT is a much better movie, but we'll have to see how part 2 plays out to factor it in.

It could have been excellent if they didnt rely so heavily on jump scares and loud noises. As it is, its still a well above average horror movie.

That was also the scariest part for me. And I thought it was funny that an original monster was way better than the leper, which was just shite in the new movie.

That one's really hard to translate properly to a movie, tbf, since it's based on the kid's fear of a homeless man trying to give him a blowjob. Loses all significance without that back story.

Sure, the handful of times he actually appears as the clown. Even then, he's a pretty sinister cornball. Remember Adrian Mellon?

and when he's not appearing as a clown he is depicting the fear of children, often in the most ridiculous forms possible

Honestly, at this point it just sounds like you haven't read the book.

Eeeegh, yeah that's part of it, but the actual physical thing just looked bad. Looked like a dude in a rubber mask/prosthetics and the way they shot that whole scene just looked cheesy and out of place.
