I was a little off put about the style of storytelling. Because it was more of an improv around a theme (which included testimonials and running discussions) I found the pace was uneven. However, out of the jumble of words there did emerge some nice relational bits. I prefer scripted pieces. FIgure out what you want your piece to say, and then craft your film around it. Don't leave it to your actors to do all the heavy lifting. I give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. [Improvisational Cinema]

The 1990 version of this story was very dated so naturally this one topped everything they did when it comes to special effects. They made it much more intens. Amazing cast! Those kids stole the show and Bill Skarsgard is an excellent choice to take over the iconic role of Pennywise.
Not as scary as I expected, but the good development of the storytelling kicked it up a notch.
