The remake of the evil clown movie, i.e. IT... After trying to stomach too much gore, bullying, and violence and feeling unsatisfied by the lack of spine-tingling, I got about halfway through the movie and wondered when the kids now as adults would reunite to take on the evil. Needless to say, it never happened. Very disappointed. I prefer the original two-part movie which was a story of kids traumatized by evil seeping around town and trying to figure out what was going on. Years later they reunite as adults to face their fears and avenge their lost friend by finally taking IT on. It made an impression on me, as many of us as kids growing up sense that there is something not right about our town and return to it later in life to figure out what was going on. I feel the new IT blew it by axing this major plot point. Visually, it was decent as were the performances and it came close to engaging me but ultimately failed. 5/10
