Let's float together 🎈
One of my favourite Stephen King's works and IT (2017) was brilliant. Seeing the iconic classic scenes being re-adapted into big screen is terrifyingly satisfying. With what the current visual effects are capable of, there's no limit to what form Pennywise can change into, like it is supposed to be.
I'm sure people will agree to The Losers Club's kids being one of the best things in the movie! Ritchie and Eddie are hilarious.
I agree of splitting it into two chapters so that they have time to develop the backstory of each character which I think they've done it pretty well, although bookreaders may notice some inaccuracies for each character, but nothing to ruin the storyline.
As far as movie remakes go, IT is definitely one of the best (coming from a someone who is not a horror fan)
