So now that IT flopped in every possible way, can we all agree that the 1990's version was the better movie?

What the fuck

Yes. Curry's subtlety and sophistication trounces MOM'S GONNA FLOAT

BACK TO THE DEPTHS WITH YOU, SATAN

thas bate man

Sup Forums will fall for this

But no, the miniseries was a piece of shit and the new one is the comfiest kino

Sup Forums likes to pretend they have nostalgia for this stuff but the miniseries came out before most of the people here were born.

>Dat comfy as fuck 1950's aesthetic
>Dat perfect 10 outta 10 Tim Curry performance
>Based Jonathan Brandis
>Practical effects over shit cgi

How can the new one even compete?

By being objectively better in every way

Tum Curry was objectively the better Pennywise.

>It was real enough for Georgie

New-Pennywise was absolutely savage

Sup Forums is the eternal contrarian. They'll argue shit is clay just to appear discerning and highbrow, when the truth is this board is never so busy as when the latest Marvel film comes out on VoD.

IT was being hailed as clown kino beforenit cane out, because they thought it would flop. Now that its a roaring success the NEETs here hate it, when in fact they've only seen a few phone cammed seconds on youtube.

lol no

He's in his own league. Skarsgard's portrayal of Penny is totally different.

I rewatched it the other night. The content had to be really, really tamed because it was on ABC. It's only a notch above Are You Afraid of the Dark?

>preferring the voice of a raspy cigarette smoking New Yorker

lol yes, you pleb

Is Pennywise an Alt-right or Alt-left symbol?

Reminder that OP is a huge fucking faggot.

>he keeps posting after being BTFO
Don't do that

Outside of Sup Forums, Sup Forums is a politically neutral site.

Tim Curry was the better "Pennywise the Dancing Clown"

Skarsgard was absolutely the better "IT"

its almost like they never watched it.

Its incredibly fucking boring, and Tim Curry is the only thing worthwhile, and even then some scenes are stupid like the moon face, and werewolf and the awkwardly long and pointless shower scene.

IT WASN'T FUCKING GOOD.

>2017
>MASSIVE $117 MILLION
Get fucked kingfags. This would have been impressive for the original but 117 million doesn't even cover actor payroll nowadays.

Was the sex scene between Pennywise and Bev REALLY necessary?

user, the original was a two night miniseries on television.

>Tim Curry is the only thing worthwhile
Watch it again, Tim Curry is overrated as fuck in that shit. He's barely in it and most of the time the guy is pure cringe. The only reason people like him is because he's better than everything else in that dumpster fire. The new IT is orders of magnitude better and Skasgard > Curry

Again, thats why I said it was worthwhile. because literally nothing else in that film is enjoyable. The kids are alright actors, I like Johnathan Brandis for some reason but the acting across the board is sub-par to shit.

In contrast Tim Curry looks like an acting god in that movie.

This. Do you have any idea how much you have to pay the kids parents to let you casting couch them?

Production budget was $35 million.

Better question:
Which sex scene with Bev ISN´T necessary?

The budget was $35M and it ended making $123M on opening weekend, more than most capeshits

*cough

>666
PENNYWISE LOCATED

Best part is that half of them think it was a movie

It's not scary so much as disturbing and unsettling

No one actually thinks the miniseries is better. At least I hope not

>Deciding who was better as Pennywise
>Skars hasnt dont the adult arc yet, where Pennywise is an actual character and not just an OOGA BOOGA monster that eats kids
We need Chapter Two to judge this

Original wasn't even a movie.

Don't underestimate Sup Forums contrarianism

>Skasgard > Curry
it's like saying CGI > Practical effects because most of Skar's performance literally consists of CGI.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Dude, marketing costs? This movie has to clear at LEAST $750 million before it will turn any sort of profit.

t. increasingly nervous /tv prophet who refuses to be proven wrong

>Most of Skar's performance literally consists of CGI
That's fucking horseshit. The dude even went and took contortionist classes just so he could fit himself into a fridge for that one scene

>most of Skar's performance literally consists of CGI
Ask me how I know you didn't watch the movie

>Outside of Sup Forums, Sup Forums is a politically neutral site.
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

LMAO

spotted the r/the_cuckold redditors

Bahahaha this is 10/10 bait or you're retarded but here's a (you) I laughed

Even the loopy eye shit wasn't CGI. It definitely had some CGI scenes for the creature stuff but the parts when Pennywise was an actual character was all Skarsgard. The physical aspects of the actor, especially the fact that Bill is a lanklet and how he chose to portray his movements added a lot to the character being unnatural and creepy.

Perfect hipster bait. They will rally to "new things suck" like republicans to stupid.

People who watched it when they were twelve and are now 30 and haven't seen it since twelve seem to love it.

Nostalgia kills brain cells.

it was always fun to stream with other people

Serious question. Is the new It actually good? Don't care about how much money it made. Even Fembusters and TFA made money.

That's 117 million it's opening weekend you fucking moron. It's already made nearly 4x it's budget back in 3 days. People like you need to be euthanized.

LMAAAAOOOOOOOO. Please user, tell me what it's like waking up every day being this retarded.

I really liked Skarsgard in Generation Kill. I'm glad he's found new work after True Blood.

Not the same guy, I think this is his brother

millennials

Yes it's good film. Nice blend of horror and comedy

Except the ones he listed.

it was cut and sold in a "movie form" in many countries

The 1990 miniseries would have been popular with gen x people, not millennials.

You nostalgia faggots really need to stop pretending the miniseries wasn't garbage

Honestly I think Skarsgård deserves an oscar for not only the entire role but that scene in particular. Maybe its just because the movie shocked 99.99% of its audience (even the people who have seen the original) with the opening but the movie just so perfectly establishes how big of an issue Georgies fate is for Bill. The kids thinking that they outsmarted It by figuring out his illusions are just that, and the monster saying that to Bill in response is the definition of kino

Wrong Skarsgard. Bill was in Hemlock Grove

Shit, you're right!

Glad this piece of shit flopped, King had to sell his house and is homeless now because it was such a disaster. Serves him right.

That's how it should be anyway. No one ever shuts down idiots trying to use this place as their own personal army anymore.

Also, Sup Forums as a whole is not an alt-right website despite crossposters trying to make it that way on the popular boards.

>People will give this serious replies

Millennials too. It was a mainstay in video stores throughout the 90s. Myself and most of my friends remember it fondly (I'm 30).

>dat jewish character committing suicide

Movie wont show it or will change it. $10bucks says "he died of a heart attack two years ago" line

Nah. Him painting "IT" on the wall with blood is iconic. They'll definitely have that scene in there.

>>Practical effects over shit cgi
TERRIBLE practical effects. I dare you to defend the giant spider.

I thanked the spider scene t b h, it was so ridiculous that I could rest a bit a have a good sleep haha

>Dat comfy as fuck 1980's aesthetic
>Dat perfect child casting
>lots of gore, swearing and other R-rated stuff they couldn't show in the old one
>superior cinematography
>superior special effects

How can the old one even compete? Tim Curry is the ONLY part of the old one that has aged well. You need to take off the nostalgia glasses and face the truth.

CopypastA be gone!

Jonathan Brandis was a little better as Bill but otherwise it's no contest.

Jesus look at Benjamin "Dead girls don't say no" Hanscom over there.

Don't forget better Pennywise

I’m enraptured with this film. IT was everything I was hoping for from a KIDS ONLY telling of what happened in Derry all that time ago. Also, can we acknowledge and applaud that it’s been 27 years since PENNYWISE haunted our Television sets and has graduated to the Silver Screen?!?!?! That’s so perfect. So much so, I want to start blaming Stephen King for TRUMP – because I’ve blamed just about everything else.

I WORRY ABOUT YOU BEVY
SOMETIMES I WORRY A LOT

For an R-rated movie that's tremendous.

It creeped me when I was young because I was only focused on the creepy clown menacing the bro-tier as fucks kids.
I rewatched it and it was complete shit for the most part, it's just a nice memory to have but objectively it's bad.

> Onscreen violence to children
> Comic relief but not a quipfest
> Serious moments are allowed to stay serious
> References to the 80s are mostly low-key
> Keeps the story focused by only telling the story of the kids

Overall It is worth the price of admission. 7.5-8/10

>R-rated horror film
>$35 million budget
>made nearly $200 million in one weekend
>it's guaranteed it'll end up making well over $500 million
>"i-it's a fl-fl-flop!"
This has to be bait, no one could be this retarded.

>Alien came out nearly twenty years earlier and still blows this the fuck out

Millennials were little kids when It came out and was on video. The miniseries was terrifying at that age.

I haven't seen the new movie, but the original was fucking shit.

>tfw it truly scared me to death from watching as a 10 year old
>tfw scared of bathroom and baths after watching it
>tfw the new one will never have that same effect no matter how much better it's supposed to be

They all look monstrous and sickly. Like old men in kid bodies. The fat kid in the yellow shirt looks demonic.

I think you have schizophrenia.

Don't forget based John Ritter (RIP)

>Pennywise the dancing clown

>it actually dances

>Curryfags go full damage control

>highest grossing film of all time for an entire genre
>durr hurr flop
I'm actually lead to believe that OP has a brick lodged into his skull, he probably doesn't even know the Tim Curry adaptation was a mini-series and probably only knows it through some clips he saw on YouTube as a kid.
