Went and saw IT over the weekend. I have mixed feelings on the movie. The original one from the 90s, I find very creepy and well scary. (also could be bc I was very young when I saw it lol and clowns creep me out).
So after hearing how well made IT was, how well acted and just that it was one of the best horror movies made lately I had to check it out.
It was well made, and I thought it was very well acted. But, I don't know if I had to high of expectations, but overall I thought the movie was just so so. Parts of the movie felt rushed, while others seemed to drag on. There were plenty of scenes that had a great scare factor, and some really creepy scenes but relied to much on jump scares.
Perhaps my biggest problem was with the way the portrayed Pennywise (IT). IMO they tried to make the clown to creepy all the time. His appearance throughout the whole movie looked like a creepy clown. I think what made the original clown creepier, is that he looked like a regular clown. Now at the same time though the actor who played Pennywise did some really great stuff in some scenes that were just flat out spooky.
So overall very mixed feelings on IT. Parts of it were done very well, other parts not so much. Liked and disliked the portrayal of Pennywise at the same time lol. If you like horror flicks, or Stephen King I would check it out.
