You won't be disappointed!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I watched this movie with a few friends, and most of us had seen the new one before the first one. One of my friends, however, had seen this one heaps before, and said that he thought it was great. And honestly? I can not possibly fathom why anyone even remotely likes this movie for what it is, and there is absolutely no possible argument to be made that this miniseries is better than the new movie. I don't really know where to start, but the thing that really kills this movie is the pacing and the acting. Maybe its just the limitations of the times or budget or whatever, but the whole thing just doesn't work. All the actors, including Tim Curry as Pennywise, are just really bad. They aren't engaging at all not only due to the fact they are bad actors, but also because the writing is genuinely terrible. Worse still, the whole thing is over 3 hours long, and it was terrible waste of time. I also just looked up the budget for this movie. It was $12 million. You know what horror masterpiece was made for a million less than that? Alien. 1979. 11 years earlier. I know this was a TV miniseries, but apparently they weren't trying very hard.Steer very clear of this rendition of It.

Better than I expected though too long . Not particularly scary though it had its moments . Haven't read the book or seen the earlier version so hard to compare but this comes from the mind of a genius . Stephen King is one of a kind and the story is intriguing.Is it worth watching ? Not sure that's a yes , if you don't see it you wouldn't have missed anything but it did very well at the box office so it's proved to be a popular film Pad.A 5/10

LOL, this is sadly better than the one that just came out, mainly because the 2017 is just a lame-duck movie; you can check out my review for more details. Anyway, this was a made for television series, which is why it comes off as a three hour film. You have to remember that this was made back in the 80s/90s so it is going to be campy. However the muppet- spider thing look too adorable to be a freaking villain. But whatever, there is a good tale in there somewhere. Maybe I'll check out the book.

My girlfriend and I watched most of "It" the other evening while on vacation in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I'd read and enjoyed the book not long after it came out and had watched the miniseries in 1990. My girlfriend had read the book but didn't recall it clearly. While I have no bones to pick with Tim Curry's interpretation of Pennywise, or with the other actors, I was somewhat puzzled with the sharing of the asthma inhaler prior to the children going underground after Pennywise. I realized that was the substitute for the 12-year-old girl realizing the only way the group of kids was going to get OUT of the sewers was by having sex. In the novel, there's nothing erotic about the sex, but many reviewers of the book complained about it, anyway. Stephen King said in his mind it was about bridging the gap between childhood and adulthood. I told my girlfriend, who has asthma, does that mean sharing your inhaler is the same as having sex? I shouldn't be so hard on a made-for-TV movie, but Hollywood manages to botch books in a variety of ways.
