Review of It (2017) by Debaser7 — 07 Sep 2017

I can't believe how much I loved and enjoyed this film. 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"...
