QUOTE(Jack @ Sep 12 2019, 12:00 AM)  Bill Hader was horrendous! Cliche jokes that sounded like they were written by a 15 year old! Each to their own I guess. He was fantastic, him and Skarsgard definitely the highlights in terms of the acting. I really enjoyed the jokes Hader made, sure some of them were toilet humour but he has impecable timing, as you would expect from a comedy actor. Was just more interesting that he could switch it up between comedic, serious and then convey a character who was obviously scared (and afraid himself of what other people would think about him) and used humour to deal with it. Still, wish Pennywise got a bit more screentime as Bill Skarsgard is great as the clown! |

As good as Bill was, I actually thought James Ransone was the highlight (of the adults). I wish they'd utilised Jessica better. I feel Beverley was under used and kinda wasted in a love triangle, which was a shame. But overall I thought they all played their parts really well.
They really, REALLY didn't use Pennywise enough. Bill is SO good at playing him. He's by FAR the best thing in these films! |

I am struggling to find anything positive about this film?
The moment the old woman came out like a CGI monster from a video game I knew where it was headed. Pennywise was UNDER used, I know he's shape shifting to these various goblins and such but he was barely in it It was also wayyy too long, people were leaving the cinema about 2 hours in. Horror only works well imo when it's 1h30 or so. |

Absolutely, and it probably works better in the book form, I can still dislike the film having not read the book?! CGI to me is not scary at all and as soon as a monster reveals itself the effect wears thin. I have no doubt that my imagination would provide much scarier imagery had I read the book first. |
