i agree. mini series was great. i don't know where all these heralded 2017 opinions are coming from downplaying the original
Angel Sullivan
>>Original It was a masterpiece of the horror genre. A timeless classic that's still being talked about to this day
Big time nostalgia glasses you've got there OP.
Brayden Lee
Curry is literally the only good thing about the miniseries and moments of him actually seeming threatening are few and far between.
David Clark
The book is shit
The TV serial was shit
I haven't seen the movie, but it's probably shit

The only thing ever brought up about the 1990s IT is Tim Curry. People don't even fucking remember Seth Green was in the movie.
Xavier Green
>Original It was a masterpiece
John Edwards
If you can't admit the new movie is better than the mini series you're one of two things: 1. A massive nostalgia faggot who refuses to stop sucking Tim Curry's clown cock 2. You haven't seen the new movie Which one is it OP?

Tim Curry elevated the movie for sure, but it's still not great

The original IT sucked you fucking pleb
Jaxson Price
You are very dumb!
Cameron Sullivan
HAHAHAHAHAHAH Utter delusion
Zachary King
except he was talking about the popular consensus >A timeless classic that's still being talked about to this day That's just wrong, it's not a classic and the only reasion why it's still being talked to this day is for a comparison with the remake
Evan Powell
I felt the opposite with Pennywise.
Tim Curry felt like some weird psychopath who'd stab you in the woods after scaring you. Skarsgard felt like a monster controlling his appearance like a marionette.
Hunter Reyes
Don't you mean >WOH HA HA HA HA
Charles Richardson
>That's just wrong So millennials being scared by clowns is just them being retarded millennials, right.

Gabriel Barnes
No it's them seeing Poltergeist where the big scare of the movie is a fucking clown. My parents sat a clown in the corner of my room to fuck with me after they showed me Poltergeist. There's a reason Scary Movie riffs that movie instead of IT. It's because everyone's seen Poltergeist.
Angel Edwards
>he actually think that the fear of clowns is cause by It I never wished for a post to be bait so much in my life.
Dylan Perry
>Original Pennywise felt like a threatening cosmic horror with unfathomable power No, he felt like Tim curry in a clown costume "pranking" the kids in the least scary ways possible.
Owen Taylor
We all love Tim Curry OP, but that's no reason to be a faggot. The original series was mostly awful.
Henry Miller
Tim Curry is the virgin fat manlet. Bill Skarsgård is the big Chad.
Thomas Cox
Someone make this.
Samuel Mitchell
Reverse that and you are right.
Joseph Edwards
Holy fuck im looking forward to when Sup Forums stops talking about It. It's so uninteresting

Dude you didn't watch the newest review
Angel Hall
It's not about size you redditor its about having the subtlety to imply horrific things without going OOGABOOGA IMA CHASE YOU
Robert Hernandez
This. I appreciated how it felt and looked like pennywise was merely a vessel being controlled by an evil force.
Christopher Barnes
Someone please make the version of this
Elijah Sanders
He literally says "I am the eater of worlds."
Jordan Martin
After watching this, I felt like Patrice Oneal after Jim Norton trashed Independence Day
Xavier Lewis
>Original It was a masterpiece of the horror genre. A timeless classic that's still being talked about to this day >Tim Curry as Pennywise is a timeless performance that's still being talked about to this day Fixed for accuracy, OP. There's only one reason why anyone bothers remembering the original IT and it sure isn't the story, effects or performances from anyone other than Curry.
Jordan Richardson
>>Original It was a masterpiece of the horror genre. A timeless classic that's still being talked about to this day
all of that is lies and isnt true.
Connor King
So? He never felt like one. Which is what the post i was quoting implied.
Learn to fucking read, moron.
Alexander Long
>Curry has fun with the character, but misses the feel from the book of It having a hillariously huge ego that constantly leads to his own fuckups >Skars doesnt get to play It, he gets to be the CGIs stunt double in a movie loosely based on the book The new movie is better, but goddamn I hope the second one does the bit the book had showing just how retarded It actually is. That whole chapter of "Im so fucking superior they only win because I let them" after failing for the 8th time to kill any of the Losers is like a reading any /vg/ rant about "paper is overpowered, scissors needs to git gud t. Rock"
David Perez
I grew up watching the original It. Scared me as a kid. I have read the book and rewatched the original and realized how much was left out (for obvious reasons; too lewd and too much detail) but still the mini series was enjoyable for me. I like the story so both films were good in my opinion. I went in with low expectations (as I do with all movies really) and I was entertained. The new movie was worth the $10 my wife and I spent to see it.
I did have a few things in mind to see in the new movie that weren't there but I still liked it.
Cooper Gonzalez
The TV mini series is not a classic. Tim Curry is an amazing Pennywise, but each part is hot shit minus several well executes scenes in the child segment.
>$0.03 has been deposited into your account by Warner Bros.
Liam Reyes
I actually do
Benjamin Powell
The original is boring as fuck you faggot, the movies better, the only thing the original has on it is the creepiness is curry's performance.
Dominic Peterson
Honestly, as cliché as this answer is, both actors did a very good job. Curry as more of a regular psycho clown and Skarsgard as kind of a supernatural force trying to mimic human behaviour.
Overall I liked the new IT much better, both as an adaptation and as its own movie.
Landon Cox
>It's just Anabelle with a Clown instead of a demon
If you need RLM to form your opinion, you should not talk about classics.
That said, I'm not gonna see the new IT and I don't know why anyone would.
Josiah Anderson
it being a cheap piece of shit is what made it great.
Charles Nelson
well if i recall correctly in the book Penny starts directly talking to them pretty much when they're adults
Wyatt Price
>Curry's Pennywise portrayal >subtle
Lol I know Sup Forums desperately wants to shit on the new movie but "subtle" definitely isn't the word to describe Tim Curry's version of the role. Actually, it isn't suitable for any Curry role ever
Josiah Torres
Its also a part of the book that if It didnt have such an xbox hueg ego he would have just reached up through the toilet and killed any of them. Thats not even a plothole from some smart ass kid, It literally does that in the book to someone and later actively decides not to do it to the Losers. I hope we get more dialogue out of the clown because It is a fascinating creature, but neither movie really captures what a tool this thing is when you take away the outer layers of OOGA BOOGA *BOOOOOOOM*
Oliver Fisher
Really makes you think Also why are the movie bullies so low energy
Daniel Evans
I couldn't understand some of the new IT's lines. Fucking viking.
Andrew Wright
especially in that scene in Bill's basement, when he jumps at him and after Bill escapes he just lays there with eyes rolled back and gets fucking DRAGGED away like a corpse.
Bentley Foster
>Seth Green
It would be cool to see him reprise his role as the adult Richie
Gavin Carter
take off them nostalgia glasses man, the original IT was fucking trash. I will give you the first half is pretty good but fuck man that second half with the adults is GARBAGE.
Rewatch it and tell me its good, cause you are either retarded or lying.
Luis Fisher
>Fucking viking
?? Wrong skarsgard
Brayden King
>Its another Sup Forums hates a great film because it defied their expectations How many of you faggots have actually seen the film, I can tell most of you haven't by the way you talk about it >MUH I DON'T WANT JUMPSCARES WHERE IS LE SLOW BUILD UP AND TENSION
that shit is literally in the film you would know that if you weren't fucking blind, instead you spout your reddit tier opinions This movie was GOAT horror
Xavier Diaz
I enjoyed the new one but, as dated as the old one is .. it enjoyed a much longer lasting appeal than the new one will.
It 2017 will be completely forgotten in 5 years.
Luis Parker
>It 2017 will be completely forgotten in 5 years. I doubt it. Especially now that everyone will be anticipating the second movie
Kevin Watson
only the 2nd half
Gabriel Ross
But he had plenty of tim to kill the Jewish kid in the sewers and the kid who broke his arm.
He spent to much time fucking around with which lead to his defeat. The moment he sensed that they figured out how to beat his illusions in the house is the moment he should have gotten serious and killed them one by one
Jack Wood
>rock battle scene >hardrock intensifies Ow god...
Joshua Jackson
for real. the movie was filled with cringy shit like this.
Lucas Richardson
>>Original It was a masterpiece of the horror genre. A timeless classic I have never heard this uttered anywhere.
Cameron Miller
That was cool. Typical bully/nerds kinda shit you see in coming of age stories. Don't really anything cringy about it, they're all 13 year olds
Luis Morales
Kek you fuckers are trying so hard to hate on the new movie it's hilarious
James Mitchell
i enjoyed both original and the recent one
Cameron Richardson
What a stupid opinion. The original is complete fucking garbage which starred the wacky judge from Night Court for fucks sake.
Easton Thompson
Wait wait I'm in the middle of it and the gangnam style scene will come off soon
You're a fucking tard that has most likely never read the book
Joseph Walker
Haven't seen the movie, but the book and miniseries was shit. It's a flawed premise that isn't scary and is very stupid.
The fact there's a child orgy should speak volumes to the prowess of Stephen King
Owen Rogers
People will treat anything as sacrosanct as soon as you remake it, no matter what it is. It could be a 3 hour documentary chronicling the journey of a turd after you flush it and people will still write longform magazine articles on the virtues of the original compared to the remake no matter how awful or average the thing was.
Tyler Cox
He's a hack.
Owen Reed
The child orgy in the book makes the book stupid.
Austin Cruz
>>Original It was a masterpiece of the horror genre. A timeless classic that's still being talked about to this day The novel? Yeah. The 1990 miniseries? Fuck no. The miniseries hasn't aged well at all. The acting is all over the place, the special effects have aged like milk and the end is a mess.
Dylan Bennett
>still being talked about to this day it's only being talked about right now cause there's a remake out
Ayden Wright
Yeah I'm pretty sure that it keeps losing because of the turtle and not its own ego. It's also aware that the turtle is making it unable to kill the losers
Isaiah Perry
The miniseries has Tim Curry but that's it. The film is better than the miniseries in almost every way. Better acting, better cinematography, better special effects, I could go on and on. I really hate to use the term "nostalgia glasses" but only people blinded by nostalgia could seriously think the miniseries is a masterpiece that stands head and shoulders above the film
Samuel Anderson
original pennywise came off as just some pedophile/cannibal in a clown suit.
Jaxson Roberts
>this opinion is 10x as prevalent here after the RLM review Really gets the neurons firing
