[@adamjerrott8456]

Hearing grace say fuck is like hearing your teacher say fuck. I'm just like "WHOA"

[@BioNichole1]

Adam Jerrott I mean she's said it before, but she usually bleeps it! But she let this one go! 8o

[@Tan87ful]

Adam Jerrott 😂😂😂

[@JOHN-kc1pw]

Adam Jerrott My teachers always swear. And I go to a Catholic school.

[@bobbylawrence3517]

Adam Jerrott thats exactly what I said !!! Lmaoo

[@theunquenchablethirst3607]

I thought Skarsgårds idea was to portray the fact that Pennywise wasn't just a clown, but a creature posing as one.

[@kotoncandyrandy_3358]

The Unquenchable Thirst he was so fucking good

[@truli91]

i liked it more than Curry's clown, because curry was more like: i should act like a clown, Bill was like: " i'm a ancient creature, i don't know exactly how clowns act but i can try".

[@DannyTanimoto]

I think that was the beauty in Skarsgard though. Anybody who's flung down the rabbit hole of SK's work knows that Pennywise is LITERALLY from out of this world, so the idea that even his portrayal of clown is offputting FOR CLOWNS reaaaaaaaally says something about what he added to the performance. He wasn't a clown, he was a monster, but he was a monster disguised as a clown, and that really showed throughout his performance, and is what made the other transformations so believable.

[@LeonAvalos]

He was a freaking beast! I loved those growls he made, and the way he'd zone out to hear listen to sth else like the scene with Bill, Ritchie and Eddie. I'm obsessed with his performance.

[@rangerslayer2260]

But bloody hell! Skarsgård is tall asf!

[@sllvn356]

I got so much strange satisfaction when Grace said FUCK

[@edgutierrez501]

Cheshire Cat what time?

[@Alberto11vader]

Eduar _RBC 5:01

[@Jagonath]

I got my satisfaction when she said go to town below. :P

[@joshuaford4297]

sod that i got the giggles when she said bill and ben

[@pennywise5511]

Virgin

[@raqueltonks]

I literally just saw the movie! And I gotta say Grace, as much as I love Tim Curry' performance as the clown, I like Bill's Pennywise better. Because his is A LOT closer to the character SK wrote. He doesn't talk much, when he does his humor is absolutely terrifying, and he gets frustated a lot. Btw, the best lines is this movie were taken from the book word by word. I'm so freaking happy, this is my favorite SK adaptation ever!

[@sasuke22dante]

This is also my favorite SK adaptation. If people took off their nostalgia glasses, they would realize that Skarsgard's performance is far superior.

[@raqueltonks]

sasuke22dante Exactly. Just saw it for the second time and I enjoyed Skarsgard even more

[@jackmckenzie3770]

Yeah, I agree with this pennywise being closer to novel pennywise. A lot more obviously evil.

[@louis-philippegirard7608]

I never really like Curry's Pennywise. I was just like well ok. But I LOOOOOVE Skasgard's Pennywise

[@MeatballsMarlowe]

I agree about Mike getting screwed over as a character. His main trait in the novel is that he's the history buff. By taking that away and giving it to Ben, they basically reduced Mike to just "the black kid in the group." That's literally all he was.

[@Thewhitequeen0]

MeatballsMarlowe I don't know if I necessarily agree with that. I typed a long comment about it already, but I feel like they (the people who made the movie) wanted to give all the kids a balanced amount of screentime, and for all of them to contribute something to the group. Ben, without the research he contributed in the movie, simply wouldn't have had much to do. In exchange, they expanded on Mike's backstory and gave him a character arc that was established from the beginning by his grandfather.

[@MeatballsMarlowe]

I feel Ben already had sufficient backstory given his crush on Beverly and being the new kid in town, plus they could have included his passion for architecture (which they completely cut out). I don't feel the arc they invented for Mike really did much for the character and am not even sure if it worked. And if it did work, it still ultimately resulted in him both having the least screentime and feeling like the least developed of the Losers Club.

[@MeatballsMarlowe]

[@cobrakaicyberdon]

MeatballsMarlowe yh but mike is one of the main protagonist when there adults, he gets them all back together. I can't wait to see the casting for the adult characters. But yh mike does have a bigger part in the adult half, but I understand what you're saying about mike not getting much screen time.

[@MRDShorts]

MeatballsMarlowe he's not the history buff as a kid. Ben is. He doesn't become one until he's an adult.

[@yourgirlchachi]

Georgie didn't feel real to you? whatttt? My heart hurt and i got watery eyed during most of his scenes cause he just represents innocence...and I have younger siblings, so maybe that's why. I don't know. That's the great thing about film/art though, it's so subjective.

[@Tan87ful]

classiccoolprod agreed. Georgie was so adorable

[@alpass72886]

classiccoolprod watching georgies death was hard. I didn't think they'd show him lose his arm and get dragged under by pennywise, that was the hardest part to watch. In the book, he just bled out in the street after he lost his arm.

[@jiji-ht3gc]

I think seeing Georgie being killed wasn't more so about setting up his character, but more so setting up Pennywise. Majorly how brutal and uncaring It is with it's victims. Georgie more so represented the children who were murdered and eaten alive by It more so than innocence in my eyes.

[@EmmelynRedd]

I agree! I loved Georgie! I just wish my younger siblings were as innocent and loving as he and Billy are to each other. They're relationship was so sweet and unique, it hurt so much when that was ripped away from them through Georgie's death. I felt much more for this Georgie than the one from the original miniseries.

[@kathiemcnally7502]

classiccoolprod I have younger siblings as well so I see where you're coming from

[@BriarPatchNyra]

Georgie's death messed me up, the entire movie was good though, I agree with your non spoiler thoughts of it being surprising, it's not about a killer clown, it's about these kids.

[@AdderTude]

From what it sounds like, they masterfully translated the scene in the book perfectly to the screen.

[@richardwright4809]

That scene seriously fucked me up as well.

[@BriarPatchNyra]

I haven't read the book although I hope to now that I've seen the movie (I didn't want to over compare), but it was very brutal

[@Evan15]

I felt sick so bad I had to leave the theater I'm gunna have to see it soon again (or because I ate greasy as fuck food earlier)

[@BriarPatchNyra]

I'm hoping to go back and see it again soon!

[@dreamforall5833]

Who else is worried that this movie's gonna be the rallying cry for killer clowns😂

[@dafttool]

FL0ze Even worse, American Horror Story this season also has killer clowns & a Purge vibe, while exploiting the political divisions of the last election. Smh

[@sean9115]

if it does best solution is form the clown bashing club and gangs roam the streets when they are sighted capture then and throw them to the police or do what we all want to do which is beat the shit out of them !

[@isaiahwashington7440]

Me kinda

[@noraankney2188]

They've already been spotted in Pennsylvania!!!

[@SaifKhan-wk4jj]

FL0ze me

[@augustbiernbaum4841]

Beep, beep, Richie!

[@stephfahey1101]

Or we can just go see the movie in the theatre and support our local movie theatres :) This movie is worth paying to see.

[@undecideduser7915]

This was a really great movie but it's classic and my favorite line "beep,beep, Richie!" Was really bad in this movie but eh I still loved the movie!!!

[@ariorangga678]

Undecided user agree, they not nailed the 'beep beep richie" scene

[@WarKlutch]

Except they never said "beep beep" to him, so that line doesn't make sense.

[@soinlove812]

Here is a perfect example of someone trying to get pinned

[@paulinejeann4058]

Been waiting for this. I got to see a midnight screening of "IT" last night. I loved the movie.

[@waldemaracevedo9294]

Pauline Dubois IT was amazing 👌 definitely will see it again on Friday or Saturday

[@jcsmooth70]

It was crazy! Not the best movie of the year but def worth seeing! Pennywise is so creepy lol

[@Serielle]

The scariest thing about this movie was the ongoing pedophilia undertones. Seriously disturbing.

[@collector832]

Serielle In the book, Al Marsh's sexual attraction towards his daughter is much, much worse and disturbing. They really toned it down for this movie, thankfully.

[@LeonAvalos]

I think it was kind of the idea that the adults in Derry were as scary as It.

[@Milmiskew]

I loved Pennywise waving with that hand.

[@milesmorales2106]

Milmiskew foot

[@justadrian56]

Milmiskew lol that’s so true

[@cudi3076]

Arm.

[@bappo3622]

Milmiskew it was goergies arm

[@TheDylanRomero69]

That disturbed the shit out of me!

[@isabelacastillo7912]

Poor georgie

[@jeremiahs5781]

More Isabela C ikr 😪😪

[@Bline-ip6et]

Georgie got straight up MERKED

[@isabelacastillo7912]

Yea

[@jasminewilliams3351]

I was apsolutly shocked when they showed so much of what happened to him. Esperanza how fast the teeth just appeared and bam!

[@davedarosa9949]

So they do show the Georgie scene? I don't plan on seeing it til it's available for digital download.

[@JennFaeAge]

Fun fact which I'm not sure how many people know: Pennywise's wandering eye isn't a special effect or camera trick, Bill Skarsgaard genuinely has a lazy eye and he thought it'd make Pennywise look creepier

[@SaraStar7373]

Pennywise making a deal was a really great scene but it cracked me up that he was patiently and slightly confused-ly waiting for Richie to finish his speech. Just like "...where's this kid even going with this? Kinda sounds like he's agreeing with me..."

[@Tan87ful]

Sara Dickson agreed lol

[@freddylalremtluangavuite1125]

Sara Dickson yeah it happens in almost every movies nowadays...

[@krollix8357]

Georgies arm getting bit off happened fast georgies arm scene was intense

[@TheMoonKingdom]

I love "IT", but I totally agree about Mike. Why does the black kid have to be the muscle, when he's supposed to be the brains?

[@plo617]

TheMoonKingdom What they did to Mike's character was criminal. Especially since he didn't have his even more important role as an adult to offset what his younger character lacked in the miniseries. And there was even more to him in the books, but to be fair I'm only comparing him to the miniseries.

[@afrothundar4596]

In the book, Ben is always very smart and as the new kid, spends a lot of time in the library. Ben was the brains of the Loser's club in their youth. He grows up to become a reclusive architect. Mike, on the other hand, has to struggle to break the mold of his family history. He is the only one to stay in Derry, and becomes increasingly interested in the town's history. He owns/ runs the library as an adult, and is the one to bring the Losers back together. This adaptation (pending the second chapter) will be more faithful in that regard.

[@TheMoonKingdom]

If that's true, then I'll have no complaints. Seen it 3 times already:)

[@herautdeDieu]

nope when you think that he is the one knowledgeable in Derry history because of his family and teach the other ones ..and he is the person through whom they discover who pennywise is. Ben's love for literature has nothing to do with history and pennywise at all in the SK 's book(it has to do with him being lonely).Ben's strength however is his brain ,his ability to create weapon..he is the one who comes up with and makes the weapon and silver bullet idea that can kill The clown. seemingly Stan is poorly touch on too..

[@apparentjewel1154]

TheMoonKingdom bruh don't make it about race it could've just as easily been someone else who was the "muscle"

[@kiki_101_]

So spot on in the beginning I remember when I was younger the only thing that gave me even the slightest bit of relief about horror movies was that teenagers/young adults always seemed to be the target, so I felt kinda safe lol.

[@Venom-V13]

LOL!

[@Tan87ful]

kekemc agreed 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽😂😂

[@nickshamman4709]

This is like "Scream" back in the 90's its gonna be a PHENOMENON

[@Shazam123_]

fxntasyland he is one though

[@midwintermakes]

Lets just say, there's a reason Stan walked away at the end first.

[@ultronemperor3525]

I started to love this Pennywise during the scene where he said " Time to float " to Eddie. In that moment I thought " Tim,you will be always a fantastic pennywise...but Bill IS Pennywise "

[@AbbeyKat]

I just saw it tonight..... LOVED IT. Made the mini series look like a parody. Eddie and Ritchie were hilarious! Everything about the mini series that didn't make sense (if you hadn't read the book, which I haven't), this movie explains and fixes. Plus it was actually frightening at some parts. Perfect balance of scary, funny, and heartfelt. Edit: I definitely agree with Grace's description of it as "disturbing" rather than "scary". It didn't really make me jump, but there were SEVERAL times that my jaw just fell to the floor. Like "are they really doing that right now???" kind of moments. This is the way I wish horror movies always were. Endless jump scenes get annoying, but this film burned some seriously messed up images into my mind and I love it. I don't usually purchase scary movies but I'll definitely be buying this one.

[@Tan87ful]

Abbey Kat which parts made your jaw fall to the floor and had you asking "are they really doing this right now?" Lol. I'm curious

[@AbbeyKat]

Nella J when Georgie gets his arm ripped off (not that it's that scary, I was just NOT prepared for it to be that gruesome lol), Eddie's broken arm got to me for some reason, and when the painting lady was eating Stanley's face

[@Tan87ful]

Abbey Kat oh ok. Georgie's arm getting ripped off was kind of hard to watch and shocking. My mouth was wide open when I saw that. Eddie's broken arm made me cringe too. I started feeling pain in my arm too. Haha. It's true that you see someone in real life or on a movie/tv show get hurt and you start to imagine and feel the pain yourself. I shocked my head at the painting lady eating poor Stanley's face. That was eerie to watch too. A couple of things that made me worry and angry was when Beverly's dad tried to rape her and when Henry cut Ben's stomach. It makes me wonder was Pennywise influencing Henry the entire time to bully and taunt the losers. Cutting someone to bully them is extreme. Those 2 things really bothered me the most for some reason o guess because they are real life issues/harm as opposed to danger from a supernatural entity

[@justinmallon5978]

I hope when they choose the actors that play the adults they choose ones that aren't as well known

[@jadendaniels5737]

Justin Mallon lol There making A IT Sequel In 27 Years So the kids can be adults and The kids who all Acted in this movie are gonna be In the Sequel when there Adults

[@da96103]

Then it would so much easier to kill Pennywise, He would be 54 and middle aged.

[@Alberto11vader]

Jaden Daniels no they are not with the success this movie about have they aren't gonna wait 27 years for another one .

[@2sallads]

Marvel ID He's way older than that. 100's if not thousands

[@jadendaniels5737]

Alberto Morales omfg💀😂 They even said it lol

[@dinsism]

Ya'll notice the quick snippet of Pennywise waving a ripped off arm, while the Bullies beat up Ben? That had me shook! So creepy 😰

[@ArinBicer]

I just came out of the midnight screening and it was honestly so terrifying!! It's 4 in the morning in England and there's no way in hell I'm getting any sleep. Might as well watch some BTT to keep me calm😌

[@Gewyne]

Just out of interest, Grace mentioned the audience cheering etc did you get that ? I have never experienced that sort of thing in the UK cinemas - but maybe it's just my local one.

[@ArinBicer]

Gewyne no there was no cheering sadly, but I wish there was, the audience was quite tame but then again the audience in my Cinemas are always well behaved. I know grace has some really shitty experiences at the cinemas which always makes me happy about the audiences I'm with!

[@MrPacdude22]

The audience at mine was cheering, clapping and laughing their azzes off at the comedic parts. Really fun experience

[@kingdarko]

Is the movie scary .... YES, this terrifies my inner child more and unpaid bills.

[@madisonmartino8117]

Grace what I think about why Henry was thrown down the well is because Pennywise would maybe save him Linda and the authorities would find him and he would be accused of the crimes and committed to a mental hospital in the beginning of chapter two. Just a thought😁

[@jasminewilliams3351]

Hmm yeah, it could happen after the movie is over and be alluded to in chapel two

[@madisonmartino8117]

SuperEgo1982 and I think that would give him even more of a motif for why it is so easy for pennywise to manipulate Henry in the future

[@bigboychris446]

Madison Martino a mental hospital? I wonder who they'll get to play him for the sequel

[@KakaCarrotCakeSuperSandLesbian]

Idk, that well looked pretty fucking deep...

[@jamiebraswell5520]

If Pennywise does something to save Henry as a weapon to use in the future, then I can accept his fall down the well and surviving! I really don't think they are going to just throw the character away.

[@leocognetti1245]

The chemistry between Eddie and Richie was so good!

[@avakrista123]

i died when eddie said gazebo not placebo

[@DjTwilightZone]

I really hope Amy Adams plays an adult Beverly.

[@da96103]

Amy Adams will play adult Beverly and Sophia Lillis will play a teenage Gisele.

[@Tan87ful]

da96103 yep lol

[@TheBobsagetrulez]

Spoiler: In the movie they make a reference that Beverly looks like Lois Lane. Who's been most recently is played by Amy Adams huehuehue.

[@pickletarts8196]

Sophia Lillis actually plays a younger Amy Adams in 'Sharp Objects' - which, also stars Amy Adams!

[@alexanderforsythe6947]

Or maybe Bryce Dallas Howard- I just envisioned that and I can really see it!!

[@mr.k2085]

The way Pennywise moves is what made me love Bill's performance! The way he got up like a puppet on strings or twist like a broken jack in the box, just so perfect 👌🏻

[@stiffy8000]

"Beep beep Richie!" Best line from penny wise from the movie I'm glad they put that in the new first act of IT.

[@TothanCrawk]

Crazy idea, in the sequel Bill Skarsgård plays both Pennywise and adult Bill.

[@Jagonath]

I could totally see that working, but unfortunately Bill is probably too young as they should be about forty.

[@Elmo914]

He could still make it work there the availability of make up and effects has reached a point where its possible to make him look 40.

[@dlilwon]

If eddie murphy can do it, they can,

[@willhubel7944]

TothanCrawk but who knows if he will actually return, apparently he is having "specific" nightmares about a "specific thing"

[@klassickaden3494]

So ironic and awesome

[@Bline-ip6et]

Georgie got straight up MERKED

[@the_horror_fan]

When you said, "that the adults are rotting." I think it (movie) is saying, people can not be trusted,even your parents.

[@Tan87ful]

jimmy one yep. Lol. They were creepy looking

[@blakeravelo8582]

Grace I am seeing it at 7:00 I have to wait just 2 more hours. Cannot wait this literally has been making me shake I am so excited!!!!

[@mesamesa9352]

dude how was it

[@hellno2630]

Mesa Mesa He's still watching it lol

[@stepdad1241]

Mesa Mesa *It was the best horror movie I've ever seen.*

[@TripyHipster]

Step Dad yes. And it was fucking horrifying

[@bombay523]

TrippyHipster I didn't think it was that scary, but it's hands down the best horror film of the decade

[@LeonardoDiCapri-Sun]

I laughed so hard when Eddie defiantly said "THEY'RE GAZEBOES!" and chucked the medication at his mum. Can he get any cuter???

[@jessicaable5095]

Haha Bill and Ben. shoutout to any brits who get my reference

[@solyentbrak1]

Jessica Emmas Bill and Ben the balloon pop men!

[@nixter9757]

Just got home from an early screening, and I LOVED IT! I even won the poster that the theater had on display during a raffle! The Georgie death scene really broke my heart, and I loved the new Pennywise to death. I do agree that the film was mostly disturbing than scary (there was one jumpscare that really did get me). I plan on seeing the movie again. My coworkers and I can't wait for the sequel!

[@Ashutosh-ix6xr]

Been waiting for this since last night when i watched it!! Thanks grace😍

[@sierradougie8559]

This film is EVERYTHING to me. Save for the unfortunate direction in which they took Henry and the very little time spent on Mike, It was perfect in my eyes. I screamed in fear more times than I ever have watching this film, than any other. I'm pumped for Chapter 2. All it took was the conversation between Georgie and Pennywise for me to completely buy Bill Skarsgard's version of the villain. It was so creepy and unsettling, and Pennywise was freakishly disarming in that scene. Henry's "death"(?) and Mike being used as the token "outsider" black kid are my biggest issues with It. If they don't do something amazing with Mike in Chapter 2, I'm gonna be pissed. I felt like the character was an afterthought. Aside from the cattle gun, he brought nothing to the table and that's bullshit. At least Ben had the love triangle and "new kid" angle going for him; he was even a romantic poet (obviously he was developed more than poor Mike). Did they really have to take away what should've been Mike's contribution??? He was one of two black characters in the entire movie, give him something to do other than provide a weapon for the group. And Henry, while disturbing, I agree with you Grace: having him die was a total waste of what could've been a very useful character in Chapter 2. Ugh, it sucks that they dropped the ball on those two things, but it didn't ruin the movie for me. As long as they make up for it in Chapter 2, I think I can overlook the problems in this one.

[@Jagonath]

I haven't seen it yet but I'd be shocked if Henry isn't back for round 2. He's a crucial character, and a super interesting one as well, in a twisted sort of way of course.

[@lifeofsi4210]

Gotbit Feverhit I was really hyped for it but was a little bit underwhelming. I thought the cgi was a bit off and it wasn't that scary as I just couldn't take pennywise seriously. Still a good movie though

[@sierradougie8559]

CGI has been the consistent complaint about this film (that I've noticed) and I'm just not bothered by it, honestly. We already have to suspend our belief to accept this otherworldly clown, so I don't get how the CGI "takes people out" of the experience. I felt it was used thoughtfully but to each their own. When you have a monster that takes on the forms of people's fears, I think CGI is necessary. Could the effects have looked more seamless? Of course, but I would chalk the reason it isn't up to budget. Without a doubt, it'll be a box office hit. Maybe that'll increase the budget for Chapter 2, allowing them to work the CGI in more effortlessly next time. Admittedly, I won't be terribly upset if they don't and decide to maintain the current look.

[@lifeofsi4210]

Gotbit Feverhit fair enough

[@sampark17]

Gotbit Feverhit I think it's more about Henry not getting in the way of the films climax, he will probably have just landed in water and will appear in the barrens, and then be blamed for all the deaths

[@Thewhitequeen0]

In regards to your point about Mike and Ben, while I would say that it is slightly unfortunate that they took the 'research' angle from Mike, in the context of the movie, Ben would've contributed nothing to the story whatsoever without that research. Those jokes involving the New Kids on the Block only came up a couple of times, and it worked with his 'shy new kid ' personality, but other than that, his liking Beverly? Still not enough to warrant his character's existence in the movie. Plus, both he and Mike technically contributed knowledge about the town, but Mike got his from his grandfather, which still works because Ben is going to leave but Mike will still stay, so it all works out. The commentary about heroes of color isn't applicable here because Mike's character was dealing with the exact opposite; his grandfather wanted him to be strong, but he didn't want to be. His contribution to the story dealt with him as a kid growing up and facing the aggression against him due to his race head on, rather than being a sheep for the slaughter.

[@danielneil237]

Thewhitequeen0 I

[@FranOnDemand]

Exactly!

[@skyofthelivingdead]

I agree. Mike also has a much bigger role as an adult, considering he was the only one who stayed in Derry and was the one who reunited the group to fight It again.

[@da96103]

Mike stayed on in Derry because he was the town librarian and he became the librarian because he liked to read and do research. So now since the research-history kid is Ben, maybe Ben would be the town librarian in Chapter 2.

[@herautdeDieu]

it doesn't work out at all...Mike is the history buff period...Ben is the smart kid..he comes up with weapon, likes Beverly is heroic and he's the new kid in town..that's enough ... and he too will have a massive part in the second chapter if you read the book...Plus it's just an adaptation nothing prevent Ben from being the one bringing them back together in the future.After all no one was expecting them to switch the the historian angle from mike to Ben. Stan suffer the same treatment although his characters trait and what he is are not being omitted.

[@benjaminbreeg4125]

"When Derry use to be a beaver trapping town." -- Ben. "It still is, am I right?" -- Richie

[@KellieDoll28]

Stanley Uris didn't hate Bill, and he wasn't holding anything back. Ironically, that was basically the problem. Love ya Grace; your hair looks amazing!

[@keiranaway8631]

The scene with Georgie made me cry.. I didn't expect to cry at this movie but i cried twice.. At the beginning and the end. The scene with Georgie dying was 10 seconds and i cried so fast i think im traumatised by that scene. Something about the way it was portrayed and how he was literally screaming and struggling for his life in pain made me tear up, people thought i was being dramatic but i dunno, i guess i just didn't expect it to be that brutal and scarring (for me at least) but the film was truly amazing it was everything i wanted from an IT adaptation/remake

[@jeremycline9542]

Getting the idea from various reviews that we're looking at a classic here. Can't wait to see it.

[@bradywalker3050]

Am interview said that Billy actually did the eye moving thing himself rather than them do it with CGI

[@Josh123376]

CinematicUniverse incredible physical acting. The weird eye disassociate thingy creeped me out so much. Couldn't bear to look at it

[@anonymousdan7205]

They don’t show much blood/gore...moments after telling us how Georgie crawls away from the drain blood spurting everywhere as he gets his arm ripped off xD

[@Jack-jk6pt]

I think the H in Ben's chest will go away. I've been reading the book for a while and when Bill is an adult the blood oath scars go away. Then when they find out that Pennywise comes back, the scars appear again. That's what I think will remind Ben of Derry.

[@superbot2367]

Everyone's mad about Mike but you need to realize that Mike did the most developing and contributing in part 2 of the original. Believe me guys, he'll get the spotlight, and probably takeover as Leader of the Losers like in the 90's 2 part series.

[@MrJaylaw15]

if they dont, it would be fair to say this remake series was trash and that they did this to Mike on purpose

[@superbot2367]

Jalen Law Or that they just didn't want to... Don't make everything based on race when it isn't.

[@MrJaylaw15]

SuperBot119 if they chose to deviate from the novel for one character's entire arc just to add to another character, then there is cause for someone to believe there is bad intent behind it. Especially because of the decades long history Hollywood has of minimizing or downright erasing black characters at white characters' expense.

[@superbot2367]

Jalen Law ....... No... No they.... Haven't..... It isn't racially based..... Blm is not...... I'm done.

[@MrJaylaw15]

Hi Grace I'm a dad and there is no WAY I would let my boy watch this. Not until he is at least 15, and he's 7 now. He's terrified even just seeing the thumbnails on KZbin!

[@briannalee1998]

In the books, the things Henry did to the kids was much more violent, I'm pretty sure he even carved his whole name on Ben's stomach and yeah, I was so mad they didn't have Mike do the research cause he was supposed to, I mean, he's suppose to work at the library! Mike's supposed to be the smart one, I'm so mad they took that away from him! If they still had Mike as the one with the research, the movie would've been perfect.

[@theshape7817]

Brianna Brickey I agree with you completely, it was sad that they made it Bens thing and not Mikes. Ben is the architect, Mike the historian, simple. Oh and in the book only the H got carved on Bens stomach, but I feel that they made that scene go by way too fast in the film

[@TheSpartanfan84]

I can't watch that Georgie scene again,its just so sad. I wanted to cry...

[@NoLegacyLeft]

I felt that it wasn't really scary, I found it pretty funny actually. Pennywise felt like he played to much with his food. I really liked most of the cast but Stan, and mike. The sequel will be more their time to shine I think.

[@nomoreidolatry9845]

*The moral of the story:* Don't drink milk and you won't see crazy shit.

[@luanpenna]

I loved the movie. Loved the kids, Pennywise, everything! The movie is not really that scary but it's a lot of fun!

[@jakoblozano8031]

This made me hype AF can't wait for tomorrow 1045

[@buzzardbeatniks]

I saw this is a full theater and the audience was so reactive, screaming laughing clapping and cheering. I really hadn't had that kind of movie theater experience with a new film before.

[@mm0710]

By far the best movie going experience of my life, people laughing, and screaming, and the fear was palpable in the theater. I can't wait for the sequel.

[@Tan87ful]

mm0710 agreed

[@LeonAvalos]

The movie felt like riding a rollercoaster lol

[@Bruno-bw1bh]

That connection with Bill and Georgie in the end when he said I want to go home it got to me because I have young siblings myself and I could just imagine how Bill felt☹☹😢

[@anonymouswannabee4950]

Has anyone even noticed where Pennywises hairline starts?

[@GUIGU32]

I am here 1 1/2 years later watching this review again for the third time and enjoying this so much. This review is a classic .

[@Zjacnz]

My loser's club has been taking the rite of passage of watching a horror movie every sleepover and so far we have seen The Shining, Babadook, and It

[@alexleverson5185]

I know it's probably hard to think about since the kid actors did such a great job, but I'd love to see a video of who you'd like to see play the adult versions of the kids in It chapter 2.

[@FoxyRiotMommy]

I'm seeing it tomorrow, but skimmed through this video to see if THAT scene from the book is alluded to. Sounds like it isn't, so I'm relieved I can enjoy the movie without anyone who hasn't read the book yelling.

[@Charolette21]

If I am thinking aboutthe same scene you are, the film would have been turned into an NC-17 film from that alone.

[@Forum4life07]

what scene are you talking about?

[@Charolette21]

Roman Alexander have you read the book before?

[@Forum4life07]

no i havnt lol but this comment made me really curious as to what happened in that scene in the book haha

[@salmonero6472]

Roman Alexander All the boys have sex with Beverly.. good call to leave it out.

[@dantecorradothesecond6104]

[@Tan87ful]

Unknown ?? Lol. I laughed so hard when he said that 😂😂😂

[@secondaryactons]

OMG I love how your hair and makeup looks in this video! And btw I haven't seen the film yet, I was just waiting on your spoiler review!

[@stripedbandit5252]

Hi Grace! I actually thought it was very scary, but in a more haunting manner. Like the use of subtle dialogue within a lot of Beverly's scenes with her Dad made me shrivel, as I was just so nervous about that relationship. I do also think the use of effects here was also phenomenal like when Patrick is stuck in the sewer, that was excellent. And when they see little Betty Ripsom in the doorframe and she gets dragged off, that one gave me chills. Was very satisfied and would agree there are some very talented children in this, and wanting to be an actor myself like I was kinda inspired to see what they created. Love all your content and all the best for the future!

[@Tan87ful]

StripedBandit agreed

[@samgspot]

I saw a clip of Georgie's arm getting bit off on IG..... poor georgie😱😭

[@aaroncavazos20]

You forgot Ritchie's funniest line... when Ben got slashed by pennywise. He's leaking hamburger helper lol

[@GUIGU32]

The more I watch your reviews the more I respect your knowledge and insight ..!! You are great Thank you for your work ;)

[@user-ox9wn9ku9t]

I loved it. It caught me off guard, not what I was expecting at all. I think it was like The Shining pacing/ content wise, but with a Tim Burton feel to the visuals. Don't really know why haha.

[@ciscovids2972]

You forgot about the leper scene

[@brentmclean4807]

I saw the movie yesterday and I loved it. I pretty much agree with you on all counts, very good review. Well thought out and presented, will be checking more reviews from you in the future, keep up the great work.

[@benjaminbreeg4125]

I loved how you said playing with his food. How you described Pennywise.

[@capiseric]

So much of Mike's character in the book had to do with the racism of the early 1900's leading up to the 1960's. You can't really make the same points about racism in the 1980's. Sure it still exists, but it's just not the same. Mike was done a great disservice just by changing the time. The Losers club was a sort of insulation for Mike from the racism of the Bowers' family.

[@imvolted9816]

It was so fucking great

[@eugenesesmaiii3278]

One of my favorite things about It is that Bill never "got over" his stutter. His stutter isn't a problem to be solved but part of what makes his character unique.

[@iFilmmak3r]

I went in expecting an amazing horror movie but now I've seen a story that will never leave me. These kids were so incredible and so heartfelt, I just loved it so much. That made the clown so much scarier and the experience so SO much more memorable. There were points I though, "oh yeah, this is IT" because I was so invested in the stories of these friends. Amazing movie.

[@MrAwesomeGamertoocool]

I was ready to cry during that Georgie death scene

[@hanson4035]

I have no idea why, but this movie made me more sad than scared. I really liked how penny wise was a giant clown, when he came out of the projector that was so amazing

[@Adamguy2003]

Great call on Richie's surprise line in the climax, that was indeed one of the most memorable lines in the film. One issue I had regarding Henry Bowers that you didn't mention is that the movie didn't say at all why Henry was angry at Ben, let alone so angry at him that he'd actively look for/ hunt him and attempt to carve his name in the poor boy's stomach. In the book it was that Ben wouldn't let Henry copy off his paper during finals, in the 1990 TV miniseries it was that Henry got in trouble at school for making fun of Ben and he blamed Ben for it, but the movie doesn't give any kind of motive for his actions.

[@omifishcakes]

Absolutely wonderful review. I love your theory about Pennywise as a performer as I hadn't thought of that, and it really makes sense. I absolutely loved Skarsgard's almost graceful look/feel and thought he was visually beautiful.

[@lordnymas4468]

Anyone else think it was a good movie but not that scary?

[@INDStud]

I 1000% agree that it was incredibly disappointing that the writers took away Mike's one defining purpose in the group and gave it to Ben, when they could've just as easily stuck with Ben's affinity towards building/engineering and had Mike shine as the historian that he was and that he grows up to be - in the books. It was definitely a disappointing cop-out.

[@reneelasswell790]

Nicole Tramel I thought maybe they could be switching his grown-up job to Ben's architect role. They don't have the dam scene in this so Ben is never set up as having engineering/architect potential? Doesn't help the child-hood version of Mike have more of a role

[@reneelasswell790]

I liked Bill Skarsgard's version of Pennywise so much better than the mini-series, not so much because of the acting as its adherence to the novel. Pennywise is not a prankster/joker in the novel although he does "play" with the Losers. He's a violent, sadistic, alien child killer and Skarsgard's rather netherworldly natural persona and more nuanced performance is perfect. Otherwise I agree with Grace pretty much across the board. I really liked this adaptation but despite that and loving the book the scene transitions seemed disjointed and I actually got bored with going through each child's individual encounter with IT like a "to-do" list. I see the point of not lingering on the violence but the scares just needed longer to "gestate" between them.

[@INDStud]

I agree with you about Skarsgard's version being a much more accurate version of Pennywise. I did feel like the scenes felt a bit awkward in how they transitioned. I know that they cut out a lot, but I would've loved to see a fleshing out of characters like Patrick Hockstetter(spelling?) and Eddie Corcoran, as their POVs and eventual deaths were some of the scariest ones outside of the Main Group encounters with It. It was also weird how they just....kind of... threw Henry Bowers away.

[@pablozky21]

Just came from the movies and absolutely adored. The character work is something to take note for aspiring horror film makers: if you want your movie to affect its audience, make us care about the characters, which IT brilliantly did

[@chemtrooper]

Since in the film adaptation Henry's fate is unknown, other than falling down the well. I think it would be wicked cool if Pennywise uses the living but physically broken Henry as a way to heal and recover himself back to full strength by feeding on Henry's fear in 27 years worth of torture.

[@DregHeaps]

I thought the pacing was a little all over the place. The scenes where each kid had their solo interactions with Pennywise seemed to come and go directly into the next without anything really connecting them. It felt rushed in a way. Something else I noticed, and maybe it's just me, is that I felt more tension and fear under the threat of Beverly's dad coming home while all the loser's were in the apartment with her than I did in any scene with Pennywise. A detail I did enjoy was that after Henry's dad shoots at his feet and you see him walking to the mailbox, you can see he wet his pants, thought that was pretty funny lol Oh and one last thing, the scene where Pennywise's box opens and he is dancing while looking pissed looked really silly/dumb, i don't know if it was supposed to be unnerving or scary but it was actually kinda funny instead

[@collector832]

Denis AGREE COMPLETELY!! Their individual interactions with It were so fucking short it pissed me off. Each one was like what? 2 minutes each? Longest one being Beverlys which was maybe 5-6 min. Such a waste! It is supposed to torment these kids and hurt them. When they were alone with Pennywise it never felt like they were in any danger. Al Marsh though? Yeah, there was a ton of suspense and tension there. That's what they should've done with Pennywise and their fears.

[@matthewschutter6832]

I look forward to watching this film this weekend. I want to thank you, Grace, for encouraging conversations. I know that we have no shortage of trolling just for the sake of itself but that we understand each other better through conversation, regardless if we agree with each other. You may never take my questions that I have submitted but that's okay. I like your input regardless if I agree with them. I'm a subscriber homegirl. Stay golden ponygirl

[@rileyreviewssomething8711]

I loved when penny wise turned to billy and was saying "this isn't real enough for you?" But the best line was when he said "it was real enough for Georgie" because it makes you think about what PENNYWISE did to Georgie in the first scene. I thought that scene alone just gave me the chills on a psychological level.

[@maxhernandez4977]

Everything I thought you weren't going to put in you did great

Read the book and saw the mini series so is it really a spoiler ?

It would be a spoiler for a total IT noob.

This movie has almost nothing to do with the book.

[@adarius99]

Eric Ramseur stfu you dumbass

[@TheYaddayadda]

@ Eric Ramseur nice attempt at trolling. nevermind, it wasn't all that good.

[@sparkypandamonkey]

I really enjoyed ITs voice. The conversations between each kid. When he was having the conversation with Georgie and he said he can't talk to strangers. How he kinda of spit and introduced himself then said see we aren't strangers anymore are we? Oooooh it was brilliant. Even as he got frustrated he had that attitude like damn what else do I have to say kid. Just a great movie indeed.

[@DarthFelth]

Not sure if many noticed but whenever any of the creatures backed away or went back into the shadows they were moving backwards as if they were hand puppets. The scene with Pennywise in the basement showed this the best when Bill ran away, as soon as Bill was gone Pennywise just flopped onto the stairs and was pulled back into the shadows. This gave the concept of him being just a puppet to entice, worked so well.
