Just watched and I really liked this, did /tv/ like it when it came out?

I enjoyed it

>>212939200 (OP)
Yes we had a whole culture around it and Sophia Lillis.

I wouldn't say that pedophilia constituted a "culture".

This movie was supposed to be scary or something but when I watched IT I felt nothing. The scene where the child gets his arm ripped off was just fucking depressing but that was about it.

I don't know how else to describe it but it felt too theme-parky. It's still a lot better than part 2 though.

>>212939200 (OP)
James Ransom fucking killed it as Eddie. I feel the need to bring this up because I just finished season 2 of The Wire.

>>212939200 (OP)
I absolutely hated it, but I'm genuinely not trying to make anyone feel bad that liked it. It felt like such a missed opportunity because the kids were all pretty good in it. Can't recall a single scene that I liked.

I remember it being way scarier when I watched it in 2017, but I guess that's cause I was 12 then desu

it can't compete with Tim Curry's uncanny weirdness, he really seemed like a shady weird guy that would be a clown. Him trying to lure Georgie near the sewer is still so creepy and scared the fuck out of me as a kid.

and then in this movie Pennywise just immediately seems like a generic clown monster. I'm in pain so I can't describe what I mean, need to finish up this post. But just rewatch them.

First part was better than the original. Second part was worse than the original. We had something good going then some faggot exec said "SPOOKY CLOWN SCARY!" and then we got Part 2.

That guy's crazy. You should see his Instagram.

>>212941090
The actor who played him as a kid was the best in Part I also.

>>212941090
nvm the insta, he deleted every post, fucking nut

>>212939200 (OP)
The first one was OK but the second one sucked

>>212941579
yeah CGI pennywise didn't work. you need a really good actor to do a good villain performance for the story to stand even a chance of working.

>>212941882
The reason both adaptions failed at adapting the adult half of the story is that there is no adult "half" of the story. The actual book follows a single narrative that intertwines brief adult framing devices with the main body about kids stuff. This is why the "Second Half" of both adaptions feels like a retread, because in the book it's only brief setups or punchlines for a simultaneous Kid-era event. In the book them defeating IT as kids and adults happens at the same time. The books whole gimmick is it's about these adult fuck-ups finding strength in themselves by remembering the time they killed a space-clown as kids. You either adapt it like it was in the book or leave out the adult part entirely. Otherwise it's like making a sequel to The Princess Bride that only consists of the Sick Kid and his Grandad.

>>212942385
Did one of them end up killing themselves as an adult in the book?

>>212943245
It's literally the first scene. As I said, it's a framing device. You go "Oh no! What thing could have happened to them as kids that was so terrifying he killed himself rather than go back to his hometown?" And then we go back to when they were kids and see it's a sewer clown.

Underpants girl did nothing wrong

>>212941579
I love the french VHS version but they redid the voices for the DVD and it's all fucked up and the echoes when pennywise is talking were removed and the actor performance was lacking. I'm mad. It really solidifies him as that otherworldly monstrosity not really living in our existential plane.

>>212943405
That sounds a lot more interesting than how the movie(s) went, not sure if it would have worked for the later movies though, Pennywise was so non-scary in those.

>>212939200 (OP)
Stephen King raped kids.

>>212939200 (OP)
Only the first half is good and the old May sweeps miniseries was better.

The plot is botched from the start
There's nothing stopping the clown from biting every kid's arms and putting them in maximum pain at all times all the time
It only takes one arm to fuck a kid up forever, there's no "man up and don't fear" after losing an arm
He can even make them trip into barbed wire or just cut ONE finger off and doesn't even have to be with his mouth, with anything, in fact he controlled the evil kid
The whole premise falls apart as soon as you pick it apart

They did dirty to Mike and his dad

Richie absolutely fucks

It's an interdimensional entity that feeds on young children, anon. It's called "suspension of disbelief."

>>212947453
He ripped off a kid's arm and then the kid was in maximum fear for his life, and he fed on fear.
And he didn't do that again ever, like it was all smoke and mirrors.
It's called "internal consistency, which keeps the suspension of disbelief"

>>212947453
>It's called "suspension of disbelief."
I don't think you know what those words mean

>>212947525
He feeds on the kids because fear makes them taste better, retard.

>>212939200 (OP)
It was ok.

>>212939200 (OP)
I liked it a lot. Shame Part 2 didn't live up at all
