Nostalgia for the mini-series is crazy. It has no redeemable qualities whatsoever

Aside from Tim Curry hamming it up, the miniseries was just too silly for me to enjoy it.

 

That's why I'm glad this movie looks 100 times better.

[FantasticBeasts]

Well yeah the mini series are too cheesy for me. Actually the trailer seems funny rather than scary.

[SuperBatman]

To be honest Pennywise is suppose to be scary in the book he does make the whole do you have Prince Albert in a can and is ur refridgerator running jokes in the book though.

Letterboxd has a lot more reviews up - this new batch of responses are definitely more muted than the rest. [x]

 

Consensus seems to be a great cast lifts a fairly generic adaptation which is nevertheless still a lot of fun.

This is what I'm gathering from reading reviews:

 

The movie is a fun watch overall but has some potentially major issues depending on the viewer

Skarsgard and Wolfhard are the standouts among the cast

The humor is very well done and funny

The opinion on the scares seems to be mixed. Some are saying the film is too reliant on jumpscares and isn't scary, yet others say there aren't many scares but the ones that are there are good.

Character development is lacking, especially for the adult characters

The film doesn't spend enough time building up the town's atmosphere

The third act is very rushed and a departure from the first two

 

I'm still thinking this will end up certified fresh and not much more.

The thing is, even the more critical 3.5star reviews end with statements about not wanting it to end or already planning to watch it again :

 

"Other than some misses, the film is an absolute joy to experience. It was like a thrilling amusement park ride I wanted to ride forever...."

"IT may not be a great film or perfect adaptation of the novel but it's a visual feast and one hell of a ride I plan to visit repeatedly."

 

and

 

"Overall though, I had a ton of fun with every moment, and already kinda want to see it again, if not just to spend time with that great cast fighting a great villain. Rating may go up as I lower expectations."

Yeah, I'm glad this seems to be enjoyable at least. As long as the characters are likable enough I should give it a 7.

Hm.... let's see...

Agreed, I'm not looking for this to match the book in character development and detail and I'm sure it will be missing parts of the story that were memorable to me.

 

As long as it's fun, has a scene or two that really knocks it out of the park, and delivers a quality Pennywise then I'm happy.  

[FantasticBeasts]

This is basically locked to have a good reception. It is a Batb situation.

[WrathOfHan]

These reactions aren't making me stray from my 75/180 prediction. If the RT score is rotten or in the low-60s, then I'd consider adjusting the legs. There's too much hype and buzz for it to miss 65-70M at this point.
