Review of It (2017) by Mosel T — 18 Sep 2017

Worst dialogue ever. Extremely well-made scenes and good actors are dragged through too much make-up and putty leaving the movie nothing but a soulless, failed copy of a good original with heart. The dialogue is copied from Disney's teen programs and "spiced up" with a lot of cussing, in the hopes that that somehow will catch the interest of the audience and make it seem more "authentic". Sadly, the movie makers didn't have trust in the creepiness of the original story, so they had to overdo everything- even the main character- the clown, which now is not even a clown anymore, but an obvious monster with not sharp teeth, but 10000000000000000 sharp teeth to make it extra scary. It's very difficult to feel for the characters as they don't seem real, since the dialogue os so planned and predictable- just like the Saturday morning Hannah Montanas...

I would, lastly, like to give credit to the well-made scenes, backgrounds and special effects. For once, they were well made (not like avatar or the likes, where FX presets are being used). Sadly, very little is left to the imagination, and the movie does not linger in one's mind after the ending credits, like the original.
