What a strange feeling.

Tim Curry was the only "charm" the original had, outside of his scenes its pretty fucking awful. IT(2017) was all around way better than the mini-series.

It's not scary as much as it is disturbing and unsettling, and lovecraftian

You can stop making a new thread every 5 hours and being the world's biggest contrarian anytime, nigger.

Okay, it's not a remake

Like what? Please tell me one thing that isn't "Muh Tim Curry"

Agreed but Tim Curry was pretty great.

>remake
>original
It 2017 is not a remake. It 1990 isn't a film, it's a low-budget tv miniseries.
They're both based on the same novel. Calling It 2017 a remake is like calling of Pride and Prejudice 2005 a remake of the adaptation from 1940.
Like your post is dumb overall, but the amount of retardation you conjured up just from the first word is impressive.

I agree. I went in thinking it would follow the book faithfully, but was disappointed. I almost wish I hadn't read the book. It was a decebt horror movie (disturbing, scary, creep), but a bad IT movie. If that makes sense.

clown looks gay

But the "original" wasn't good.
And this new one isn't a remake, it's based on the same book.

He looks young. Isn't the actor like 25?

Go see a better clown movie, check out 'Gags'.

IT isn't a clown movie

but is the clown the device which propels the plot?

He's not a clown.

>A bad IT movie
And what are you using as a reference here ? The book?

HE'S A FUCKING SHAPESHIFTING MONSTER NOT A GODDAMN CLOWN! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Goddamn it I don't know how the fuck I forgot the picture on a post like this.

>IT isn't a clown movie
>Pretending a room of producers didn't make it explicitly clear that the clown needed to be in every scary scene.

Yeah no

Everyone is saying it's better than the original lol
Miniseries was just some fuck in a clown costume.

>Pennywise is in every scene
This being a meme proves Sup Forums doesn't watch movies

nah

I was pretty goddamn pissed I didn't get my giant fucking bird.

so, its not a clown movie, its a ____ movie?

Street level cosmic horror

Ever since the new one's teaser and trailers dropped, it's become hip to hate on the original, kinda like how it's hip to hate on Jack Nicholson's portrayal of The Joker because of Heath's portrayal. The IT miniseries was good for what it was, a made for tv miniseries.

Monster, you absolute fucking mong.

ty, how does eating kids feed its cosmic level of whatever ITs goal is?

im upset at no paul bunyan, for gods sake they built the bloody statue they could have put it in.

It's literally the opposite though. People were shitting on the new one at first because of the original. It wasn't until the movie released that people realized what s piece of shit the original was

so why cant we call the new it movie shit, when we know that 20 years from now it'll be outpaced and outdone by its incumbent?

>hip to hate on the original

What? The old tv shit was always considered bad.

If anything now hipsters are considering it good because there's a "remake".

It feeds off of the fear that humans feel, which angers its cosmic nemesis, who's a giant turtle that created the universe.
Eating a kid here and there is just a way to make more kids scared of him, which is how he feeds. He doesn't actually need to eat.

Tim Curry is quite literally the only good thing about the mini-series. People who have fond memories of it were likely five years old when they watched it. It doesn't hold up. It's almost as bad as Langaliers

talking tvash about the langoliers
I like you.

is Stephen king writing in the mcu or dcu?
because cosmic turtle vs thanos would be cool

he is a meme

not anymore, a stroke took his brilliance from us.
one of the main reasons he couldn't pull a stan lee cameo

alien

This new Pennywise has to be the scariest movie monster we've seen in years. Literally years. There's two scenes in this movie that absolutely sent shivers down my spine. First when Pennywise possesses the slideshow and we finally get to see his very creepy and mental face in the final scene. What a build-up! I nearly pissed myself.

The other one is in the basement, first we see the excellent performance by Georgie's actor. You'll float too never has sounded more epically scary. And then Pennywise rises from the waters. I jumped in my chair and still do when watching this. I can tell I will be on the edge of my seat in theatres this september.

The movie itself seems to capture that 80s feeling we've seen in Stranger Things and other important work. Do your part and see it in theaters. Be a part of history.

You know, ironically shilling could still be perceived as actual praise by some people on this site. In a way you're actually shilling the movie. For free.

The movie has a few things that are clearly superior than the two part series
The acting, the music, Finn's performance, Pennywise's psychical mannerism
Overall I like it better than the old one

>made the original good
There was nothing good about the original

Fuck you both, I liked the Langoliers.

its ok to shittalk movies, and its ok to like them.
its a fun concept but its too campy for its own good.
the ending saved it.

clown was a bucktoothed slackjaw and not scary. piranha face was not scary. movie was more of a comedy because of the constant banter amongst the kids.

I agree that the movie wasn't really full horror and I didn't exactly shit myself but I still really liked it despite the genre. It's like when my friends said they hated Kiss because they looked like they would play heavier music.

yes
