IT (1)

Fresh and Exciting

Don't listen to the negative reviews

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Most know the story, a killer clown that terrorizes kids in a little town on the east coast. But many don't know this TV mini series follows the book much closer than the new release in 2017. This series is split into two parts. The first part is excellent. The second part is fair. What makes the first part of the film so good is the characters who play their roles. All seven of the children in this film are great actors/actresses. We are able to identify with them and follow them through the 1960s town of Derry Maine. Tim Curry who plays Pennywise is exceptional to say the least. He plays the clown that will forever terrify kids and grown ups for years to come. Overall the kids who play the part are great actors, with a good script, and beautiful cinematography throughout the entire first series. One of my favorite films!

Anyone who reviewed this movie as being good are trolling you.They want you to see it so you can get angry and dissapointed as they did when they saw it.This is the only rational reason why someone would recommend this garbage.Either that or they are easily impressed and and should never be allowed to rate or review another movie again. The book is a masterpiece but this, this is just garbage, pure garbage.It had such great potential, but they botched it big time.I won't say more because i don't want to spend another second thinking about this waste of time.I woulda gave it 0 stars but 1 star is the minimum rating. Do yourself a favor and skip this piece of ****.You're better off watching the 2017 version.It's actually great and quite scary. And the acting is top notch !!!

In my opinion anyone who says that the new "It" is better than the original (This one) is out of their mind, i can respect that everyone has a their own opinion but the fact that some people watch the new one and then watch this one, and claim that the new one is better is just dumb. The new one isn't as good as this one, Bill Skarsgård isn't Pennywise, no one can be more fit for the role than Pennywise himself (Tim Curry). This version, the original version, of "It" is the best one. But, don't get me wrong, the new one isn't terrible it's pretty good but is no where near as good as the original. If you plan on watching the new one i suggest you watch this one first so that your opinion isn't clouded by nostalgia since its the first one you watch. I understand that you're now thinking that i only think this one is better because of nostalgia, and yes you may be right but this one is a classic and is by far the best "It" movie.

IT is a pretty good made for TV film. I have not read the book but from my understanding the novel's ending is quite different. From what I gather, the TV film ending has cut out more about the kids - something they do not want aired on national TV.I love the casting for this one, it's an all-star adult cast - faces you will recognize from other films. I like the story for this TV version, sometimes funny, would be scary if it was really happening in reality.IT comes to the kids as a clown. IT's not a demon, not a poltergeist, nor is IT an alien, IT's not even a nightmare. IT is was IT is, whatever IT is. And IT's a good watch.7.5/10
