"IT" was a wonderful surprise. I really quite enjoyed... "IT". I thought it was filmed exceptionally well, acted well, the dialogue is fun, and the story moves briskly along. I would probably go so far as to say that "IT" might be the best Stephen King adaptation to date. (I know, I know... there are very few good Stephen King adaptations to choose from.) "IT" is good horror- pure and simple. I give "IT" a very high FAST FOOD MEAL review.
p.s. I had to chastise someone at work who did not like "IT" because they found it too similar to "Stranger Things". I told them "IT" is not like "Stranger Things"; "Stranger Things" is like "IT"; which was published over thirty years ago. Reminded me of the time when another co-worker commented on a t-shirt I was wearing by asking, "What does that mean- 'Han Shot First?'" Oh, the beauty of youth and ignorance.
