Thats too bad. I'd have been interested in seeing that.

Wonder if IT's nemesis will get a mention in Part 2, Maturin the turtle.

His Lego avatar took a hard hit this time out.

The Director of 'IT' wants to remake Pet Sematary.

That might be fun.

What a shitty movie. The part with the kids was great, reminded me of Stand by Me but the clown was so unfitting and not neccessary that as a horro flick it simply sucked.

Worked well as a horror flick though. 😗

Is better than the orginal?

riv6672 Senior Member

^^^Yeah it is.

The original was fun but cheesy; given it was a TV movie the FX were so so. Tim Curry's performance was really THE best thing, the thing that made the movie memorable these last 27 years.

How was the clown unfitting and unnecessary for an adaptation of a book about a child-killing monster clown?

Anyway, movie was quite good, with my only significant complaints being the unnecessary and subtly racist shift in Mike and Ben's characterizations. Now that I've commented on the movie everyone else can rest easy. The only person whose view matters has spoken.

Damn not seen this yet. Have fond memories of the mini-series giving me nightmares as a kid.

Hearing some mixed things about this. If I watch something called "IT" soon I'll probably do the old TV Mini-series first.

So as it turns out after seeing some clips from it I don't think I will want to sit through the old one anytime soon, unless I happen to do it ironically with some friends. Heh.. it looks pretty hilariously dated.

Anyway, I really liked this. A lot more than I was expecting. I look forward to seeing Chapter 2.

Chapter 1 was only the good thing about the tv Mini-series.

No sweat.

I watched the old IT movie some time last year I think, and yeah it was pretty dated. Still fun, but dated.
I’m glad it was remade, personally; the story deserved a more in depth take and better FX.
