Anyone else watched it yet?
The clown (Pennywise) was really good and very creepy.
Know what it reminded me of a bit though? "Stranger Things".

Went to see IT at the pictures.....
Before we went we watched the old version, jeez, it hasn't aged well at all and was a bit meh really, Curry was good as Pennywise though.
I aslo read the book in preparation and it pieced bits of the film together that folk unaware of the story might not know/have picked up on.
Enjoyed the new one, they had to do something different and you're right about how it felt, it had a Goonies/Standy By Me/Strangers Things feel, which isn't a bad thing.

I liked the old pennywise better, I think if you were a kid and you seen the new pennywise you'd be on your toes straight away, but with Curry's version, initial reaction is funny clown with ballooons, what's not to like?
Have to agree about Goonies/stranger things, but as Mr Blunkett says no' a bad thing really.

Enjoyed the new pennywise, but felt they underused him. His best scene was the scene he captured georgie at the start. He was captivating when he was talking, they should of had more scenes like that and less jump scare stuff.
Overall I liked it a lot

See it on release day! Seems to have mixed reviews but I thought it was really good. Looking forward to part two already.
