The notable exception being Jessica Chastain who just kind of was there. I think the actors did a hell of a job capturing the relationships between the kids and I think the adult actors did a hell of a job capturing the personalities of the kids as adults. I didn't really like the retcon of Stan's suicide, where he basically says, oh I took myself out of the equation so you guys could succeed, which is just ridiculous in the context of his abject terror. Namely I felt like the movie had too much filler, and really it should have just been one long three-hour movie. That being said I agree with some that it chapter one was the best of the bunch, and I had some problems with it chapter two. The new version relied a lot less on the clown phobia and let the thing actually be scary even if you weren't scared because it was a clown. He always felt that the creature had assumed the vague shape of a clown from the way it's depicted in the books, and unfortunately he didn't live to see the new it really but I feel he would have liked this version a lot more because it definitely looked more like a creature imitating a clown instead of just a literal clown. And the reason was because Tim Curry acted like a literal clown, and looked like a literal clown. My friend had one giant pet peeve, you see he hated the Tim Curry miniseries. I'm a big fan of the book and I've seen all the versions of the movie, and my best friend actually loved IT on a lot of levels before he passed away and we talked about it a lot. Mike especially might be my favorite character in the novel and was never treated with the same importance in the other versions. Neither adaptation did a great job with the child versions of Stan and Mike. Emily Perkins is also very good as Bev, but Lillis is so good in the role. The only kids that felt much better in the remake to me were Sophia Lillis as Bev and Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie. Jonathan Brandis' take on Bill was way better than Jaeden Martell and I really like the kid that plays Ben in the miniseries. Wolfhard was closer to Richie in the novel and I understand why so many people love him, but Richie is one of my least favorites of the Loser's Club in the novel tbh so I preferred the less brash and brazen performance of Green. Unpopular opinion, but I think I prefered Seth Green's take on Richie to Finn Wolfhard's. I agree with you on the kids in the miniseries being better. Curry's take was more of an older clown praying on the fear and Skarsgaard brought a younger more alien take to it. I think Curry and Bill Skarsgard both brought a lot of different qualities to each portrayal of Pennywise. Skarsgard felt scary and unhinged, almost animalistic at times with him drooling over his food, for example. Tim Curry's version is iconic in it's own right but I never felt scared by him. I liked the performance from Bill Skarsgard a lot. The movie felt really repetitive too: member walks into strange scenario, Pennywise does something spooky, member runs away, on to the next member. The adult actors are good, certainly better acted than the 90's adults, but how they are used is not great and the chemistry doesn't feel the same as it did with the kids. It had it's moments (the bleacher scene for example) but overall I had a lot more complains than things I liked. After spending some time thinking about it and re-watching the film with friends, I realized the film did not hold up very well. A little too jump scare heavy at times but overall it is creepy.Ĭhapter 2 I liked a bit coming out of it initially. The opening scene with Georgie sets the tone correctly and carries it through out the rest of the film. I almost feel like you could remove the horror aspect, make a few changes, and you'd have a good coming of age story. IT will arrive in cinemas on September 8th.Chapter 1 was a very solid film carried by some really good acting by the kids. Watch the official trailer for #ITMovie, in theaters September 8. In case you want a reminder of just how terrifying Pennywise the Dancing Clown is, take a look at the new trailer for IT, which dropped today: What am I doing? What is this? This is horrible'." "So some of these kids got terrified and started to cry in the middle of the take, and then I realised, 'Holy shit. Some of them were really intrigued, but some couldn't look at me, and some were shaking," he explained. It seems he also freaked out a lot of the kids on set when filming too: "I come out as Pennywise, and these kids – young, normal kids – I saw the reaction that they had.
