Review of It (2017) by Jacoobi456 — 09 Sep 2017

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.
