It (2017)
A film which adds nothing in my opinion to the original 80's tv movie it even fails in the exact same ways.
The parts with the kids are excellent, Stephen King has always been terrific at vividly painting kids using the written word but this falls down with Pennywise the scary clown. Mainly because he isn't in the least bit scary so whilst we have some great Stand By Me moments, as a horror film It fails to ignite.
I think i'll watch part II tonight to get it over with.
