razna08 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 !!!

alexanderdavies-99382 I get the creeps every time I see Tim Curry as the evil and twisted character of Pennywise. Being a circus clown only adds to the menace, what with the phobia surrounding the real life McCoy. Tim Curry is the one to watch: he may not have as much screen time as the other main characters but he makes all of his scenes count for something. I thoroughly enjoyed this television mini series of "Stephen King's IT" as it captures the very essence of the bestselling book. The various subplots had to be left out of the teleplay due to restricted broadcasting time but that's understandable. For those who don't know the plot, a group of kids in the late 1950s engage in a battle against a ghostly killer (Pennywise) who has been murdering some of the local kids. After believing they have defeated him, the child characters leave the town and go their own separate ways except for one. Many years later, Pennywise has returned to wreck more havoc in the same town. All of the main characters from before are re-united in order to finally defeat this evil clown once and for all. The suspense factor is cranked up a few notches as everyone is forced to confront their worst fears, courtesy of the clown killer. The fact that the villain is a supernatural one only adds to the dramatic effect. There is usually something quite unsettling about the whole story, where nothing is what it appears to be. Aside from Tim Curry, the rest of the main cast act pretty well. The flashback scenes don't clash with the contemporary ones and that is important in that it helps to maintain a smooth narrative. This is definitely one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's work in any medium.

davekeanu Now this is how you do a good horror film with no Cgi grafts but with good writing I have always wanted too see this movie as it look really good and what to say I really enjoyed it Tim Curry is great as pennywise the clown and he does a fantastic job at it while it may not be as good as the novel its still wroth watching soundtrack is very well done giving it a very spooky tone Stephen King has blown me away again with his movies and this is What I call a good horror film horror films in the 90s where at their finest as it was the golden era of horror films. Now I have heard about the 2017 remake and I plan to watch it but while it be as good as the original only time will tell fantastic horror film from the begging to the end 10/10

Kevin Gunn My girlfriend and I watched most of "It" the other evening while on vacation in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I'd read and enjoyed the book not long after it came out and had watched the miniseries in 1990. My girlfriend had read the book but didn't recall it clearly. While I have no bones to pick with Tim Curry's interpretation of Pennywise, or with the other actors, I was somewhat puzzled with the sharing of the asthma inhaler prior to the children going underground after Pennywise. I realized that was the substitute for the 12-year-old girl realizing the only way the group of kids was going to get OUT of the sewers was by having sex. In the novel, there's nothing erotic about the sex, but many reviewers of the book complained about it, anyway. Stephen King said in his mind it was about bridging the gap between childhood and adulthood. I told my girlfriend, who has asthma, does that mean sharing your inhaler is the same as having sex? I shouldn't be so hard on a made-for-TV movie, but Hollywood manages to botch books in a variety of ways.
