An absolutely perfect movie. It was thrilling and terrifying in every way. Plus, Pennywise the Dancing Clown was a fantastic villain. If you like horror, you will love It.

The movie takes advantage of its hard R rating adding in plenty of brutal, intense violence, terror, blood, and crude language and jokes.

It justs does so well in MANY aspects (Pun intended) if you watched the old one (that is not that bad but, not great) you may be put off by this one, but believe me, it's different, much different, its closer to the book than it was in the past, and the end reveal... makes me so happy for what is to come!… Expand

Super conceptual, creepy, shocking and stunning, besides a few little parts and shots it's a great and beautiful film, the acting was not bad, a little over the top sometimes, but in general they are funny,scary and lovable, can't wait for part two!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the best horror movies I've seen in recent years. Pennywise is incredibly creepy and scary. What I like most is the trailers and scenes found online did not spoil the movie. The actual movie goes way more into these scenes and makes them longer. What happens to Georgie at the beginning genuinely shocked me. I felt fear from Pennywise and his various other forms. I felt humour for Richie and the rock fight scene. I felt disgust at the molestation elements present. I felt sadness because of Georgie and his brother. This movie is amazing. Go watch it!… Expand

The first thing you have to understand about IT (besides that it captures the spirit and tone of a Stephen King novel better than almost any previous attempt by Hollywood) is that this isn't a horror movie as we've come to know them in recentThe first thing you have to understand about IT (besides that it captures the spirit and tone of a Stephen King novel better than almost any previous attempt by Hollywood) is that this isn't a horror movie as we've come to know them in recent years. It's not Saw or the Ring or even The Babadook. It's not designed to keep you afraid and disturbed for the entire runtime. This is a monster movie, a nightmarish adventure story. And because of that it's massively enjoyable, fun, tense and yes, sometimes terrifying. The pacing is perfect, the story never once drags, and the acting is aces all the way around. I felt that, at most, one or two moments were a bit indulgent or cliche, but even these blips registered as fun, not distracting or tonally inconsistent. I'm not usually a fan of horror films, but I adored the creepy, shapeshifting hell out of this movie from the script to the lush cinematography of the fictional New England setting. The filmmakers earned every penny of the astoundingly great opening weekend they had, and I hope it continues to charge along into October. Happy Halloween, more than a month early!… Expand

IT’s back and IT’s terrifying. 27 years ago Tim Curry scared a generation and now IT is back to scare a whole new generation. Bill Skarsgård did to Pennywise the Clown what Heath Ledger did to the Joker. It’s never easy to successfully reinvent an iconic character and his performance is chilling to the core. Stunning effects, eerie music and a solid cast. You really believe the Losers club are all real friends, their chemistry was perfect. The tone from the novel has been brought to life in a way that the original never achieved. Sure it gets in its fair share of jump scares but it is well above the cheap and lazy horror movies we’ve gotten in recent years. The atmosphere is electric. I was blown away, horrified and enthralled all at the same time. It’s a horror movie you won’t want to miss. Go see IT and you’ll float too. Highly recommended.… Expand

The script is very well written, the atmosphere is both bright and dreary, the scares are inventive and acting is great: these kids really have strong futures ahead. Bill was fantastic as Pennywise, although not as memorable as Curry, it's definitely a better, more frightening performance. The use of CGI in the film is done well... so well that i had trouble knowing what was practical and what wasn't. The girl who played Beverly was the standout performance, putting on the strongest front when with the boys while having to hide the darkest pain. Finn Wolfhard cracked me up as Richie, Jack Grazer did a great job playing the fast talking mummy's boy, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben (the new kid who's bullied for his weigh) had me sympathising with him the most. Lastly, shout out to the actors who played the bullies, they were almost a frightening as Pennywise. I f*cking hated Henry. I also f*cking hated Beverly's creepy pedo Father. Whoever said "they start recycling cliched horror monsters of yesteryear" obviously has no clue about IT. Someone else said "Lacks the Chemistry, wit and production of the original"...Is that a joke?… Expand

I'll preface this review by saying that I rarely see movies in theaters more than once. I am very much a "buy it and watch it until the DVD wears out" kind of guy. I've seen IT in theaters THREE TIMES. It's that good.

There are so manyI'll preface this review by saying that I rarely see movies in theaters more than once. I am very much a "buy it and watch it until the DVD wears out" kind of guy. I've seen IT in theaters THREE TIMES. It's that good.

There are so many amazing things to talk about in this movie. The script is incredible. Stephen King is arguably one of the greatest writers alive and this adaptation absolutely does justice to his novel (and the Tim Curry TV adaptation). The film looks really stunningly beautiful from a cinematography standpoint, and you can tell they really put a lot of focus on nailing the time period of 1989.

The acting is SUPERB. The kids are all phenomenal. It's easy to point out Finn Wolfhard (especially with his Stranger Things fame) as a standout performance but MAN does the rest of the cast give him a run for his money. Sophia Lillis does an amazing job with a really difficult part, and you can't help but empathize with her and cheer her on. Jaeden Lieberher is also fantastic, and his personal journey will draw you in. You end up caring so much about these kids and what happens to them, and you are with them every step of the way. Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise is magnificent, and definitely deserves the praise he has been receiving.

The score is great. I personally loved the soundtrack.

The scares are good too. A lot of atmosphere and nuance tied to the characters, and a few old fashioned jump scares sparingly thrown in.

I loved this movie, and I would easily see it again. Cannot wait for Chapter 2!… Expand

IT is an excellent movie for me. I have to say though, even though it is my "Movie of 2017", I don't actually think it is better or scarier than the original, the mini series. A lot of people say this one is better because it is better madeIT is an excellent movie for me. I have to say though, even though it is my "Movie of 2017", I don't actually think it is better or scarier than the original, the mini series. A lot of people say this one is better because it is better made and the other one is not scary at all. Well, from a technological perspective this one is better, of course. However, this movie does not actually convince me of being a "real" movie about IT. The original was composed in a way because of its lack of budget as well as its score that it felt a lot more like they filmed real people and then when Pennywise came the scare came through its subtlety as everything seemed normal and then suddenly that one thing at the right time with its music came and that was always really frightening for me. It is not that this movie is not creepy at all but that's about it. It is nothing I can be scared of while the original traumatized me for over 20 years. The actors of this one were very good and of course I can only praise Bill Skarsgard's role as IT/Pennywise. He once said he does not want to do a Tim performance but a Bill perfomance and that was fine. He was "different" and he was good at ... IT. One complaint I have though might seem weird: Sophia Lillis is a cute girl but just as Chloe Grace Moretz in the Carrie remake she has the same problem: If we really go for a faithful Stephen King book portrayal these actors are not convincing. Both Chloe and Sophia are pretty girls. However, both Carrie and Beverly are characters in their own respective books that have a lot of trouble and are not popular at all. We live in a world though where a lot of people in society are already interested in you if you are just good looking enough already. And for those two girls it does not really convince that they are this highly unpopular. It does not mean "pretty girls cannot have problems", that is nonsense and not what I want to say at all. It is just not overly convincing simply because society with a lot of superficially thinking people would always present a lot of people would still be okay with them for merely superficial reasons. Sophia did a great job still, she was doing absolutely fine for her interpretation of Beverly, I think she was one of the better actors but this was something I though of that should be pointed out because a lot of people praise the movie for being so faithful to the book - even though it also has moments were the mini series is closer and not just vice-versa - so I wanted to say something about something being convincing as well as close to the original (that being said of course the old Bev's actress was also cute but she seemed more convincing as troubled girl who is mocked, probably because she was not presented "as tough" as we get to see Sophia in her first few scenes). What else can I see about this movie though: Bill's whole process of trying to cope with Georgie's death was nicely done. That being said I did not like the overall gory way the movie was presented. There are no-gos for me also in fiction and this movie was already touching the limit. This is also one of the reasons why I do not really find the movie really scary: The movie is so over the top that it loses its effect to me. The first "jumpscare" scene of the projector looks ridiculously over the top in my eyes, I do not like it at all. Other scenes - what IT says in the well house to Bill, which is my favourite scene in the movie - were so awesome instead that they pretty much carry the entire movie for me. So it was actually some kind of mix of what worked for me very well while others were to over-exaggerated. The rest was kinda okay. It definitely was by far of a better movie than I expected it to be and I can definitely recommend it to everyone, I just think those who bash the original should do that by just thinking about the technological perspective of that Tim Curry's Pennywise was not faithful to the book and thus are less impressed by it (though most actually like him nonetheless). But who knows, maybe other people are just scared by different things, that's entirely possible after all.

Broken down:

Watch ... IT.… Expand

Definitely worth seeing in the theaters. The movie was hilarious, frightening, satisfying, emotionally deep, thematically complex, and just a genuinely enjoyable experience. It had its flaws, but they were minimum, and they didn't detract from the central aspects of the film. What sets it apart most, however, is the profoundly entertaining aspect of seeing it in the theater. I was in a packed showing on the opening Friday night in a theater that seated over 500 people with some of my best friends there. At first, it was kind of annoying that people were talking and bustling a bit during the movie; I generally detest when anyone makes even the slightest noise during a public movie. However, what I soon came to realize was that the audience was experiencing this film together in a way I hadn't experienced before. The laughs, of which there are many (the majority coming from a spectacular Finn Wolfhard) were genuine and you felt like you were laughing with everyone around you. The screams were terrifying and the cheers were loud and the applause was booming and I know this sounds like an exaggeration but it was a truly unique experience. Especially in the wake of such a dismal Summer for Hollywood, they really ought take note here. Studios need to give us a reason to go out and see movies, and a reason to not wait 'til we can just watch 'em on our couch at home. They need to turn it into a shared experience that is unique and unattainable through any other means. It did exactly that. On top of that, the acting was superb and I truly felt as though each character was almost exactly how I'd imagined them while reading the book. The writing was good, with the jokes being clever and the themes being thought-provoking, though one downside was that sometimes they kind of hit you over the head as opposed to leaving things up to interpretation or at least letting us figure things out on our own. The cinematography was quite good and there were many shots that stuck with me. And lastly it was just a compelling and entertaining movie that was heart-pounding from start to finish. Maybe the biggest downside is that it will be hard to match this experience with the sequel. However, I have high hopes, and even if that one flops this story in it of itself is touching and will hold a special place in my heart.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw this movie today and I walked out astounded (with a pair of sweaty palms, should I add). I was excited to see Finn Wolfhard in another production, as I was very happy with Stranger Things, and I was extremely impressed with his performance, along with all the other child actors in this movie. Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise was amazing, all of his scenes had my eyes (or eye occasionally, as my hand covered the other in horror) glued to the screen, and had me jumping up in surprise and shock when he suddenly darted forward or attacked. The horror was very good, suspense created execellently through the very good score/sound editing, and grisly, gory special effects (the bathroom scene & Eddie's fear scene notable points). The final act/part of the movie was intense, and the ending was good, seeing everything come together in a very satisfying fashion. Even the side characters (Henry Bowers & his cronies) & subplots were amazing, especially Henry's troubled path and character, which then inevitably leads me to say the script was absolutely amazing. The humour was... surprising, shall we say, but it made me laugh when I was supposed to. This, mixed in with all the other points I've given, made for an incredible experience & an amazing, amazing Stephen King adaptation.… Expand

The themes of fear and companionship are more alive than ever with IT. While interesting audiences with the classic idea of Pennywise, it goes deeper into the ideas of courage, loneliness, and strength in unity against the most gruesome horrors within one's self. IT is a horror film that utilizes more than jump-scares and terrifying imagery to shock audiences, and does not skimp on the coming of age aspect of this classic story.… Expand

One of the best one actor performances i have ever seen in a horror movie. Chilling from the start to the end. It came out in 2017 and let me say, its a lot better than the next movie.

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.

The direction is very well thought out, and the performances of the kids are just so good (Eddie is my personal favourite).

The only criticism I have is some of the early Pennywise encounters lacked transitions. We were shown one solo Pennywise encounter and then directly showing another without any sort of transition. The movie changes some aspects of the story and omits a few others but overall a solid adaptation of a source that would be hard to get right within the confines of a feature film.

Due to being the only one in his family who believes Georgie is alive. During his search for Georgie he and his friends start encountering an evil clown named Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard).
As well as having home issues to get through and a horrible bully named Henry Bowers (Nicholas Hamilton) to deal with every day. Being a teenager is hard enough without an shape shifting clown trying to eat you and your friends.
I expected the movie to scar me for life, since the original did. A lot of the movie is quite touching, funny and even fun. Yes, there's some terribly frightening moments but the coming of age sentimental stuff is what I mostly left with. I felt kind of good after the movie rather than losing sleep.
The casting is perfect as is every performance in the movie. Bill Skarsgard is an amazing Pennywise. He's scary as hell, throughout. Probably the best villain performance since Heath Ledger's Joker. What mostly makes the movie fun though is Finn Wolfhard's performance as Richie Tozier, the smart-ass of the Losers Club. He gets all the best lines and is hilarious throughout.
IT is what you get when the director and studio actually care about the source material and want to do it justice. I wish I could say the same for the adaption of Stephen King's Dark Tower, since I read every book. So much more love and thought was obviously put into making this movie good. Which makes IT one of the best Horror and coming of age stories in years. As well as one of the year's best.… Expand

First of all, it’s great to be back with you guys after almost 3 years of zero reviews. So moving on, I was not expecting this movie to be good at all, the trailers did not convince me and it did not look scary at all to me. But holly hell! I did not do any research about this movie so when it started to get many attention and praise from critics I was interested. So I found out later that the guy who directed Mama made this. I liked that film in general, so I was even more excited. Anyway let’s get to the film. This review will contain minor spoilers if you haven’t see the film. I will not reveal anything too important.

I was really surprised with the opening scene, the movie introduces us to Georgie and his brother and then we move on to… that scene. Pennywise looks scary as hell and his dialogue is funny at the same time also the saliva coming out from his mouth adds a little creepy touch to that specific scene. Then we move on to the rest of the first act which introduces us to these kids and their bullies, this movie does a great job developing its main characters which are performed by many talented kids who did an excellent, magnificent work on their roles.

It was pretty cool to see the individual scary scenes with the red balloons for each kid, all of this moments packed many jumps and jolts which I found extremely well directed. I noticed that this movie still keeps the “Mama” flavor from director Andy Muschietti. Both films have similar creepy imagery and effects. Both movies look very similar in style, color and art direction, I absolutely loved that the movie kept that aspect. I cannot wait to watch more films coming from him.

The second act is slick, dreadful, a brutal explosion of blood (literally). I loved every second of it, my movie theatre was screaming and laughing all at once during this act. This is definitely one of the best movie theatre experiences I’ve ever had. The projector scene was so freaking good, (I will not spoil anything) let’s just say that it is one of the best moments in a horror movie in years. Also, my favorite scene was the first bathroom scene with the incredibly talented Sophia Lillis (Beverly), her screams and overall performance during that scene was mind-blowing.

Another moment from the movie which involves a scary looking house was very intense too. It was one of the sequences who got the most gripping reaction from my audience. Muschietti directs with energy, it is a sea of memorable scares and surprises. Oh, man this movie has so many great moments! Also, the film does a great job mixing the comedy and horror aspects together. When the film is doing horror it’s scary, and when it is doing comedy it’s hilarious. Mainly because of the genius and sleek dialogue between the characters.

I want to stand out Nicholas Hamilton’s performance as the bully guy (Henry). He did a fantastic job and he was very scary in every moment he was on screen. I actually felt very frustrated as the characters themselves. I also felt a great connection between the characters, there was good chemistry among them. That beautifully scary house sequence left me breathless, because it’s the moment where **** going down. The moment where everything goes to hell, amazingly orchestrated by Muschietti.

Third act is shaky but still fun. I wish it did not have all of that shaky cam during the final fight, it was very difficult to see what was going on. It was similar to what happened with the horror/action scenes in the movie Krampus, way too dark and shaky. But whatever it was still entertaining. The resolution of the film was very accurate, I was very happy with the ending and I cannot wait to see the sequel which I hope is as good as this film.

As with flaws I would say that it takes some time for the film to start the horror aspect. It takes a lot of time to develop these characters. But I don’t complain after all, movies need great character development. Another minor flaw I have is some of the VFX used in the film, in a couple of moments they look kind of weird. But hey! It’s from the same guy who directed “Mama” so I get why he decided to use that type of strange CGI in this film. Anyway, this is one of my favorite horror movies in the past 5 years. It is so extremely well directed, acted and shot. It has so many memorable horror moments and it definitely deserves to be the highest grossing horror film to date! [B+]… Expand

The writing by True Detective's Cary Joji Fukunaga truly impresses me, the direction set by Andy Muschietti is very well executed, and the performances by the young cast truly shines in this movie. Let's also not forget about Bill Skarsgard's portrayal as Pennywise The Clown. That man right here can easily scare the crap out of you!

Минусы:

-Пугалки довольно примитивные,да и в некоторых моментах можно было бы сделать страшней.

Плюсы:
-Отличная актёрская игра что Билла Скарсгарда(Пеннивайз в его исполнении великолепен,ничем не уступает Тиму Карри),что и всех детей в фильме.
-Атмосфера ужаса держится везде как надо.
-Юмор смешной(даже несмотря на то что большинство шуток там про мамаш)
-Спецэффекты отличные,очень сложно разглядеть фальш.
-Сам Пеннивайз в плане грима,выглядит даже лучше оригинала 1990 года. -Саундтрек неплох.
-Историю рассказывают качественно и интересно.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't usually watch horror movies and if I do it's more comedy horror in the vein of Final Destination. However, I had heard that this movie was really good, so I thought "Why not? I'll give it a try" and I LOVED It ;). The actors were brilliant, the humour was great. The horror aspects didn't scare me as much as I thought they would; they could've made it a little more scary rather than just creepy. And I'm still pretty salty about it ending with the logo being overlaid with the words Chapter One, but apart from that, this is a really good movie. Thumbs up!

We have, coming of age, child abuse , a tender romance and a horror rolled into one with a large dollop of sardonic teen humour. Worked well . Usual jump-out of your skin tactics which to some of the jaded are cliched but to me were awesome and a liberal use of vulgar language which was strangely appropriate and satisfying. The clown is terrifying and nightmarish…... And there is a chapter 2 to come..

Disturbing as well is scary people with obvious psychological issues downvoting everything in sight. Perfectly good innocuous reviews? Stop enabling the mentally unwell Metacritic. It’s very uncool..… Expand

It's a good movie. Good visuals. Good acting. It's really scary but in the best way.

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

IT is one of the best horror films I have ever seen. It was filled with scares, hysterical comedy, and a level of emotion that I was not expecting. Parts of the movie were actually downright sad. I am very critical of horror movies, as IIT is one of the best horror films I have ever seen. It was filled with scares, hysterical comedy, and a level of emotion that I was not expecting. Parts of the movie were actually downright sad. I am very critical of horror movies, as I often times feel as though they lack good storylines and characters. The cast of this movie was outstanding. Of course, the big draw is Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise. I'm someone who was neither a fan of the miniseries nor a fan of Tim Curry's clown. I never once found Curry's clown scary (Could be just me). This clown is terrifying. Many criticize the film for 'jump scares' but I thought the horror aspects of the film were much more than that. You actually fear the clown, because in a way he's unpredictable. Sometimes he'll just be off to the side and you'll just see him, and other times he will attack. So to some up the positives: its a high quality story that combines the individual struggles of the kids with the greater effort to combat IT, that features outstanding acting by about everyone. It is truly terrifying, the only comparison I can make in terms of scariness is when I saw Alien for the first time. It is far more emotional than I would've imagined. You truly feel for the kids. Now there are few areas I can really knock this film. For one, the CGI wasn't very well done in some scenes. Also, I was not a fan of the dumb decisions made by the kids in this movie. It felt like the scary moments were forced by really dumb decisions that no normal person would make. How hard is it to not stand outside the creepy rundown house, or to not follow a trail into a scary dark room? Another very small criticism was the lone scene with Bill's dad. I was not impressed by the acting job there, but that's small and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Overall, I highly recommend you see this film, as we almost never get horror films this well done.… Expand

It emphasizes a really dark tone unlike the original 90s adaptation. This works really well, as it adds more tension and makes the characters fears seem more evident throughout the movie. But the best thing about the movie are the child actors. They all give realistic and likeable performances, plus they all have really great chemistry together. The way each character is introduced is great, as they all get an even amount of screen time so we can learn about them and their specific fears. Pennywise has a memorable performance, as it is both subtle and creepy at the same time. IT is one of the best horror films out there, but is also just a well made film altogether.… Expand

So expect the second part is about adult characters. In the advertising company was not informed about this separation, but it went the film only benefit. Not really it would accommodate multi-page brick of a King in one movie. To divide the movie into two parts was the right decision. As a consequence, we have a very extensive adaptation (though, of course, some scenes were not shown, yet the timing is not made of rubber; however, the film adaptation turned out detailed).

The movie "It" tells the story about friends "team losers", which is terrorizing clown Pennywise and they try to fight him. The film immerses himself in its atmosphere. You empathize with the guys, feel the atmosphere of the ' 80s. The children played very well, believe that they are really friends, and they behave as children should behave. Although, not all friends are well disclosed (for example, Michael and Stanley). Clown Pennywise gorgeous! He looks like a clown, but a very scary clown looking one with his eye on the viewer — it's creepy. Him interesting to watch, don't know when he'll stop acting like a clown, and starts to show its dark nature. I can't say that the film is scary. He keeps the tension. In the film there is no screamer, he's intimidating visually. The clown and other children's fears that Pennyways become a reality, look creepy, and I really worry for the children when they pursue these horrible, vile creatures. I really want to praise the Director and cinematographer. Scary moments filmed original. But the main thing in this movie not even horror moments, but the story itself. Even if you've seen the original film and read the book by Stephen King, it is still awake to watch. It can be said, domestic history, but the domestic story, which is imbued with mysticism and horror. This whole Stephen King — he makes terrible appliances. And it's perfectly conveyed by the Director. And yet he managed to make the film much scarier than the book. We would like to thank the visuals, fine acting work by Bill Skarsgård and makeup. Don't go to the movie to laugh (as in typical horror). No, this is a story that has elements of horror. Soak up the atmosphere, characters and horror moments that will make you shrink in the chair (especially when the clown will rush straight at the viewer). Without a doubt this is one of the best adaptations of Stephen King. Waiting for the second part.… Expand

Not because it was scary, but because it had what a lot of newer horror films seem to lack… substance **Slight Spoilers** Some of the criticism I have read of this film was that it was slow, boring, not scary etc. All are valid concerns for someone looking for a standard horror film to do nothing but scare them, but “It” is not your standard horror film. It was not the frights that pulled me in but rather a coming of age story supplemented by a great supporting cast. Though Penny wise the clown was creepy enough, it was the more contemporary villain that came across as more menacing. Each of the main kids had some sort of character flaw or villain they had to overcome, which really added more depth to this compelling tale. For me there is only one other Stephen King adaptation ranked as high and that is Stanly Kubrick’s version of The Shining. This is a must see for fans of Stephen King or anyone looking for a different sort of horror.… Expand

You identify easily with the young heroes. Some of the moments in this movie will be forever iconic shots. The FX are subtle most of the time and impressive when it needs to be. The only problem I saw was the ending...we didn't see the consequences of what just happen to the families, the town, the authorities in general. So there was a big hole at the very end. That said, go watch it. I give it a 90% for the amazing child acting and good directing.… Expand
