A very refreshing horror movie with a very impactful message about the power of friendship, the scary elements in the movie was very well-done and will give you a very impressive scare.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mi aspettavo molto di più. La paura in questo film non esiste. I volumi sono regolati male come in molte produzioni di questi ultimi anni. Quando Pennywise urla bisogna mettere il volume a 4 mentre quando i protagonisti parlano per sentirli bisogna mettere il volume a 14. Questo continuo morire e resuscitare fa perdere al film ancora più suspanse. La scelta di ambientarlo nelle fogne è un ottima idea. Inoltre il costume di Pennywise e in generale il personaggio è fatto benissimo. Personalmente avrei anche aumentato l'influenza delle famiglie dei protagonisti all'interno della pellicola. Secondo me la versione cinematografica dell'ottimo libro di IT poteva essere davvero migliore. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beyond one of my favorite horror movies. I grew up watching the mini Series from the 90s and always just loved the story and characters. I wasn’t expecting this to be soo well done and good. Bill skarsgard’s pennywise is one of the best villains to come on screen in the last 10 years. He’s so creepy and imo blows Tim currys pennywise out of the water. All the kids play their characters so well. The score is amazing. I’m glad it wasn’t just a horror movie and can make you laugh, jump and cry. Every emotion I felt while reading the book I felt in this movie which is hard to find these days for book adaptations Expand

I didn't see the original film from 1990, so I decided to jump on the train from 2017 and I'm satisfied. The appearance of the clown Pennywise was really successful here and is much better than the one from the previous film, and I also have to praise the young actors for their incredible performances and in my opinion they are pulling the whole film. Thanks to the fact that the main characters are children and fight against a clown, a kind of wonderful atmosphere is created, which gives the film its proper grades. It (2017) has become for me one of the best horror movies I have ever seen and I can definitely recommend it. Expand

I thought Sophia Lillis (Beverly Marsh), Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ben Hanscom) and Jaeden Martell (Bill Denbrough) were incredible leads, followed by Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard as witty Richie Tozier, Jack Dylan Grazer as hypochondriac Eddie Kasprak, Chosen Jacobs as outcast Mike Hanlon and Wyatt Olef as Jewish Stanley Uris. An excellent cast, production and awesome scares Expand

When I read some of the negative reviews, I feel like the reviewer is not aware of the fact that "IT" is much more than a horror movie.

Never watch the original, never read the book, watched the first one, the story is kinda dissapointed me. However, it's a fun movie, and fresh escape from all those Marvel movies.

The second one, pretty much the same. But a little bit more "satisfying" from the first one. The origin of Pennywise was never told clearly, just vague, and came from "million years ago". This is my only gripe for both movie.

But overall, both movies still fun, I wouldn't call it a "horror" movie per se. I've seen more disturbing and scarier movie than both It movies. I actually feel like watching The Goonies all over again, with modern touch and very well done VFX.

And that final fight between the losers and Pennywise, obviously gamers would just love it. So cool and so epic.

The effects used have such a realistic look to them you would think they are real. This plays a huge part in the horror that is involved throughout the film. Most importantly the character development was incredible. Each character had such a unique persona you would fall in love with each of them.

A lot of the elements from the book are retained and the changes such as moving the setting from the 1950s to the 1980s works for the most part. The kid actors in the movie are beyond fantastic. They are such a great group and they really do feel like friends. There is a slight Stand by Me vibe at times which really works to the movie’s benefit. I was very impressed by Sophia Lillis who plays the young Beverley Marsh and Finn Wolfhard who plays Richie Tozier but they were all excellent. I was actually most concerned about Bill Skarsgård being able to convincingly pull off Pennywise (especially after Tim Curry) but I needn’t have worried because he brought a whole new meaning to word ‘terrifying’. He wasn’t Tim Curry but didn’t try to be which definitely was the right choice. He made the role his own. The story was tweaked in places and there were some changes but overall it retained the feel of the book which I think is much more important than being a direct word-for-word, scene-for-scene adaptation. I can’t really say that IT is a scary movie, even though one of the jumpscares got me once, but I just loved the combination of visuals, cast acting, soundtrack as well as the pace of the plot. To cut a long story short: IT is recommended! Expand

E-Value: 8
Acting: 9
Plot: 7

Based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel of the same name, this movie is about a group of seven children in Derry, Maine who are terrorised by a mysterious entity known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Skarsgård).

Several months after the death of his six years old brother, Georgie, Bill Denbrough (Lieberher) is unable to move on from his death and believes that he may still be alive. For the summer, Bill recruits his friends to investigate. During the process of their investigation, they made new friends Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh (Lillis) and Mike Hanlon.

Ben also learns that the town which they live in have been plagued by unexplained reasons and child disappearance tragedies for centuries. To that end, they are targeted by Pennywise the Dancing Clown which they refer to as “It” and being the one responsible for the murder of Georgie. Bill and his friends need to work together to fight Pennywise to stop the entity from causing more havoc in their town.

If you are a fan of Stephen King’s works, you will enjoy this one. Not only that it’s a good horror movie, it is also best adaptation of his work. What makes this horror movie good is the movie does not lazily rely on jump scares. Instead, the movie focus on building up the suspense from the beginning and having a good writing and story.

Character developments is one of the strong points for this movie. The characters especially the teen casts are very well developed and the chemistry between the cast are great and very natural as if they are real life friends outside of the movie sets. They really deserved this kind of praises for their performance. Kudos to them.

Bill Skarsgård’s take on Pennywise is great and he has done a great and terrifying performance in this role. I’m sure Tim Curry, who played Pennywise in the 1990 miniseries, will be proud of his acting ability. The violence and gore are very well executed and never go overboard with it just to make it better.

Credits should go Andy Muschietti as well for his great direction for this movie as the studios have spent years of trying to make this movie. If it weren’t for him, I do not know who else can make this movie. While the movie is great, there is one tiny flaw from my point of view. I felt the pacing during the first act was a little slow and felt boring from time to time. Thankfully, the pacing of second and third act were better as it goes.

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie despite having not read the actual novel. Since the movie only adapted half of Stephen King’s novel, I believe that there will be sequel to his movie which I think will cover the other half. If the sequel is happening, I will look forward to it (no pun intended). While there are many bad horror movies, this one is not one of them. In fact, I recommended this movie especially for those who are fans of horror movies and Stephen King.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. IT (2017) is a remake of Stephen King’s novel with the same name, directed by Andy Muschietti. It was about a group of unpopular kids being bullied by others called the Losers’ Club and one day, a creature called IT (Bill Skarsgard), who could morph into anything anyone fears, came to Derry, Maine and tried to separate the kids apart and also terrorize Derry. The kids had to find the clown and kill it and before that, they had to deal with the things they were afraid of. You know before this movie, there was a Tv movie called Stephen King’s It (1990) and I saw a few clips about it. I didn’t want to see the whole movie because it was more than 190 minutes and it took really long. After seeing some clips, I was bored with it. IT from 1990 sucks, the clown Pennywise was more like a playful villain, not the one who tried to scare kids and killed kids. Tim Curry only wanted to play with kids, not to scare them and when he did, it wasn’t scary, only his make-up face. I didn’t like Stephen King’s 1990 adaptation at all. Starring Jaeden Lieberher as Bill Denbrough (or stuttering Bill), Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Jack Dylan Gazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom, Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris and Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. In many movies, kids sucked at acting, especially childish movies but in this movie, I really love the acting, the kids did a really excellent job on it, swearing here and there and they’re phenomenal. I really like Finn being Richie and I also liked his language (he used it wisely). Jaeden acted exactly like Bill in the novel (he stammered well like “Ge-Ge-Georgie”) and Bill Skarsgard was 100% perfect for the role as IT. His Pennywise was really scary and usually popped out at the right time and audiences feared his character, his looks (well not the clown suit). In I really liked the make-up of Pennywise in here, much better than Tim Curry’s (his face was like a clown who wanted to play with kids). I also loved the CGI effects in here. Nothing was funny about Pennywise being edited with the effects. His face was truly terrifying. The terrifying creatures were well-set and . The cinematography was really good. It was filled with darkness and frightening. The rooms were dark and they made objects (at least one) fell and it was scary. I really liked when they’re doing something that no adults would trust (like you’re telling your parents what you’ve seen “Mommy, I saw dead people in my room” they won’t believe and I saw movies like this such as Candance in Phineas and Ferb told her mom that her brother were inventing something and when she went to see the invention, nothing was there). Benjamin Wallfisch did really great with the original score. The piano soundtrack was as creepy as everything was in the movie and they used kids singing (it was also really creppy on so many levels). Kids’ voice were also used as a character’s flashback which was scary and the line (You’ll Float Too) was scary as well but I loved his soundtrack “Every 27 Years” the most. It (2017) was such an excellent Stephen King’s adaptation. The performances were great (Bill Skarsgard was freaking me out), the CGI was well-used and the original score was creepy. This adaptation was a hundred times better than the 1990 one and it was one of the greatest Stephen King’s adaptation based on his greatest book (the book was extremely long and I hadn’t finished reading it yet).

However, a year-and-a-half after seeing it, I finally realized what it is missing: melancholy. The 1990 made-for-TV adaptation did a good job of capturing the melancholy that the main characters feel growing up in an impoverished town with indifferent or even cruel parents. The 2017 version ignores this melancholy and instead tries to make the main characters funny and cute, a la Stranger Things; this attempt at humor feels too forced and contrived. Overall, though, the movie is enjoyable and even a little scary. Expand

It is directed by Andy Muschietti, written by Chase Palmer and starring Bill Skarsg�rd with some others kids.

It's an adaption from Stephen King's novel, and it's about children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

I actually didn't like the young actors, I hated how they made them insult too much, I hated the part about bullies and school life.. sometimes the humor was not funny and unnecessarily.

The performances were really bad, except for Bill Skarsg�rd.

The plot was very scary, the movie was good as scaring, but not really good as a whole movie.. some elements were damaged because of the things I mentioned above.

Still I liked It and I'm gonna give it a B+.

Thank you, guys as always for watching, hope you my new ways of reviews, and I welcome all of your comment.

Ahora me parecio que se podia haber explorado la naturaleza de Eso. En cuanto a los niños todos son muy bien desarrollados y de nuevo la pelicula hubiera usado mas tiempo para desarrollar a los Perdedores el grupo en conjunto porque si bien en algunas escenas se muestra la union el libro ofrece mucho mas momentos y ademas pense que la pelicula iba ser muy larga como lo fue el libro pero me encontre con la sorpresa de que duraba como una pelicula normal. Pero la mayor queja que tengo es sobre la batalla final de los Perdedores contra Eso, mientras que en el libro era una pelea mucho mas profunda e intensa y los Perdedores ganan mediante la union ,en la pelicula se resume a no tenerle miedo y golpearlo hasta la muerte con ganchos bates de beisbol o alguna otra cosa, Eso es un ser generado en el macrocosmos representa todo lo malo del universo y es demasiado poderoso como para que un simple humano le haga frente, peor unos niños por eso en el libro es mas intenso porque los perdedores tienen todas las de perder, pero la pelicula hace pensar que hasta un adulto podria ganarle y los niños se sienten mas seguros con los adultos y eso le quita algo de tension. Pero no me malinterpreten Eso me gusto porque aunque se le corte algo de tension las escenas donde Eso aparece son geniales porque tenemos el presentimiento de que algunos de los perdedores va a morir, incluso a mi que yo lei el libro completo.

By far the strongest aspect of It is its acting. Not only are the child protagonists capable of acting well beyond their years, but Bill Skarsgard portrays the best crazed lunatic since Heath Ledger's Joker!

It's hard to find visuals that thrill in this day and age with such state-of-the-art effects having become commonplace, but is manages to deliver with excellence in makeup and camera tricks that made me emit an audible "Woah!"

As a horror film itself, It unfortunately falls flat. The scares are very effective, to be sure, but are too few and far between to sustain lasting tentions. It tries to balance sweet, heartfelt chemistry between the heroes with brutal, graphic terror and it can't seem to get the ratio just right, as the transition is often apparent and forced. It, despite its imperfections, breathes much-needed life into the dying horror genre and is well worth the price of admission.

It really does a good job of making it kind of feel realistic. Most kids that age think they're cool because they cuss and think they're the best thing ever, and that they're so strong. That's how order kids are. They tend to think they're bulletproof, at least I know my friends and I did. The movie is serious/scary when it needs to be, and it's funny and doesn't take itself too seriously when it doesn't have to. Really cool stuff, tbh. Really surprised me. Expand

The cast is absolutely outstanding, every single one of the children put in a great performance, and each of them are extremely likeable in their individual roles. However, they were nothing compared to Bill Skarsgard's oscar- worthy performance as Pennywise. He is creepy, scary to look at and just the perfect actor for this role. The story is also really excellent, it has you hooked from the start. However my one complaint about this film is the scary- aspect. Sure, it's creepy but not once was I really frightened. This is possibly to do with the jump scares, as most of them felt comedic rather than scary, which I think was due to the direction. However other than that I can't really find anything else about It that I didn't like, this is definitely one of my favourites this year. Expand
