Hurricane Irma slowed this down a bit, but I wanted to share my thoughts on IT.
First, everything you've heard is true, the movie is phenomenal.
Where the movie really succeeds is in the relationships between the kids.
All of the "Losers Club" deliver great performances. They all feel like real kids, they're probably the best ensemble of kids since The Monster Squad. Watching them takes you back to the 80's and really lets the nostalgia well up in you.
I can't say that I'm 100% on board with the new look of Pennywise, but I certainly can't find fault with Bill Skarsgård's performance. His Pennywise is every bit as creepy and disturbing as you would imagine.
The only complaint I have about the movie is that I want the second half now. The movie is great but having read the book, it feels a tad incomplete without the adult half of the story.
That said, it's still a milestone horror movie. I can only it's amazing box office will give us more top notch horror movies.
