Channing Tatum as Ben would rock, don't like Chris Pratt whenever he gets serious tbh. he's out of his element
this shit was hilarious for sure.
None of then were alive, those were dead bodies. It was poorly communicated though.I am mixed on this movie. When it was actually moving the plot forward and dealing with the weird cthulian creature and Pennywise was actually on screen I thought it was solid. The obsession with the random horror movie bits happening to each kid felt out of place and made the movie disjointed. The movie really needed a more holistic approach to the kids getting their scares. Mike's was much better done then some of the others. Why was Georgie dead when all the other kids where just floating and alive?
I loved that the kids actually got to talk how kids talk. Terrible dick jokes and all. Letting kids swear the way they actually do was refreshing.
The best scene of the movie was the intro. Pennywise got to actually be creepy and act. Wish there had been more of that.
If the genre is thriller, then Get Out is the best this year.ok, I finally saw the movie and I must say I liked it, I mean I dont think it was scary for me it was more of a thriller with some action at the end but I enjoyed it. I liked its effects and acting, I dare to say it is the best movie of the genre this year
They floating kids weren't alive.

How do we know this? I got the impression IT didn't start feeding on them until his hibernation started and we had direct evidence of Bev floating and then still being alive a few minutes before. If they are all supposed to be dead it is not in the film and contradicts Bev and Stanley's experiences with IT not immediately killing them.
It didn't/couldn't kill Bev because she wasn't afraid.
Not sure how that's ambiguous.
Stanley was also not part of the group hug. He just stood behind them.IT feeds on fear, and prefers when the flesh is engulfed in fear, before consuming. The floating bodies were corpses, you could see blood particles, and some of them were chewed/dismembered.
The lights he got Bev withDeadlightsput her in a trance that took her to a future dimension/alternate world, and I'm sure if they never revived her; she would have lost her sanity for good. Stanley was almost certainly at deaths door, but they saved him in time, and his reactions during that scene will play into his decisions when he's older.
The movie could have translated some of those elements better, but the roots are there.
Btw what was up with Bowers? It gave him the knife that he'd lost, but did It do anything else to drive him to murder his father or try and kill the kids? Or did he just snap? Kind of a fucked up character given that they show you why he's violent...yet he just continues to get worse until he dies.

How'd he do that?The idea was that IT gave him back the knife and set him on a path to attack the kids. This plays out morein the future when IT gets more worried about them. Since Bowers is a real person he can harm and kill the Losers whether they believe in IT or not.
Andy Muschiettis It is the most successful horror movie in years, blending together Stephen Kings name, a massive marketing push, and the legitimately arresting sight of Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Dancing Clown into a cinematic phenomenon. In fact, Itwhich already scored the biggest horror opening in film historyhas just broken another milestone, bypassing The Exorcist for the highest domestic box office return for a horror film ever.
This achievement isnt without a few big caveats, though; the biggest asterisk is that The Exorcists $232.9 million receipts havent been adjusted for inflation, and the dollar was more than 5 times stronger in 1974 that it is right now. Even so, Its $236.3 million is an impressive haul, blowing past the fiscal reception that greets even successful modern horror films like The Conjuring. Muschiettis film still has about $40 million to go before it can surpass The Exorcist in overall returns (including the international market), but it doesnt seem like thatll be much of a challenge for Pennywise and his various guises to overcome, since the film seems to still be going strong three weeks after its initial release.
How'd he do that?
And thanks (to both) for providing some of the context from the novel. Tempted to read it now
It was really a good coming of age story that is hurt by horror stuff.
I thought this scene was just a well-edited meme.
I burst out laughing when it happened in the movie.
Most of the horror stuff was the most Goofy stuff I see in a while. Like pennywise should never run at all.helped*
Honestly, I wish we had more stuff like this in the movie. Pennywise being silly was my favorite parts of the book. He is kind of a goofy sonabitch.I thought this scene was just a well-edited meme.

So how about time passed between IT killing Georgie and The Losers running into IT? It felt like a year but could have only been a few months. Also, how long does Pennywise feast for?
And he wanted to recruit Henry because he sensed the group was forming an alliance and felt threatened by the idea of them maybe not being as afraid?
Never read the book, just trying to bridge it together.

I wanna watch this with my GF but I don't want to overwhelm her. She likes suspsense, creepy and horror, but terror (like gore and violence) is too much. I read it's more on the horror side?
yes. the bottom lip, the eye, the drool, the laugh.. everything about his performance was sublime. hope we get to see the cut scenes of b. skarsgard without makeup before he was "pennywise"One note: Bill Skarsgard nailed it with his laugh, his smile, his left eye, and his deliveries. Fucking nailed it.
Fuck yeah.
Except it made her afraid when it showed her it's throat to get it her into the floating state was how I understood it. That entire floating corpse/prisoner thing made no sense. And I'm pretty sure IT can still kill even if you aren't afraid.

Definitely. My favourite scene from the 90s adaptation isNot sure if we're spoiling potential moments from the second movie.Pennywise in the library teasing adult Richie.
I can see this being better than the adult section of the miniseries.
