MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

connortdc In my opinion anyone who says that the new "It" is better than the original (This one) is out of their mind, i can respect that everyone has a their own opinion but the fact that some people watch the new one and then watch this one, and claim that the new one is better is just dumb. The new one isn't as good as this one, Bill Skarsgård isn't Pennywise, no one can be more fit for the role than Pennywise himself (Tim Curry). This version, the original version, of "It" is the best one. But, don't get me wrong, the new one isn't terrible it's pretty good but is no where near as good as the original. If you plan on watching the new one i suggest you watch this one first so that your opinion isn't clouded by nostalgia since its the first one you watch. I understand that you're now thinking that i only think this one is better because of nostalgia, and yes you may be right but this one is a classic and is by far the best "It" movie.

RetroPizzaTimeCritic The miniseries Movie about Mike Hanlon was Librarian who investigating missing children and killings and arrives at the crime scene before he Finding Georgie's picture and called his old friends on the phone was former group called "The Losers Club", Their remembers when their was kids in City of Derry and tell them "Pennywise's/It's Back", Mike Hanlon is remember how their met his old friends called "The Losers Club" and tell him about Pennywise The Dancing clown in past few year, and Bill give it magic cord his name is "IT". Bill find out about IT's his brother George, and The Loser Club will fight and kill him with Silver Stones.The gang is back at Derry, their Look like adults without Stan but he already dead, it's up to old friends to stop him for murder kids in Derry and end of It's I really like this miniseries its was 3 hours long. Stephen King's It is was fantastic miniseries between Humans Kids Vs. Imaginary Friend was Boogiemen who running around the town to come after other kids in Derry

alexanderdavies-99382 I get the creeps every time I see Tim Curry as the evil and twisted character of Pennywise. Being a circus clown only adds to the menace, what with the phobia surrounding the real life McCoy. Tim Curry is the one to watch: he may not have as much screen time as the other main characters but he makes all of his scenes count for something. I thoroughly enjoyed this television mini series of "Stephen King's IT" as it captures the very essence of the bestselling book. The various subplots had to be left out of the teleplay due to restricted broadcasting time but that's understandable. For those who don't know the plot, a group of kids in the late 1950s engage in a battle against a ghostly killer (Pennywise) who has been murdering some of the local kids. After believing they have defeated him, the child characters leave the town and go their own separate ways except for one. Many years later, Pennywise has returned to wreck more havoc in the same town. All of the main characters from before are re-united in order to finally defeat this evil clown once and for all. The suspense factor is cranked up a few notches as everyone is forced to confront their worst fears, courtesy of the clown killer. The fact that the villain is a supernatural one only adds to the dramatic effect. There is usually something quite unsettling about the whole story, where nothing is what it appears to be. Aside from Tim Curry, the rest of the main cast act pretty well. The flashback scenes don't clash with the contemporary ones and that is important in that it helps to maintain a smooth narrative. This is definitely one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's work in any medium.

kerwickjosh I watched this movie with a few friends, and most of us had seen the new one before the first one. One of my friends, however, had seen this one heaps before, and said that he thought it was great. And honestly? I can not possibly fathom why anyone even remotely likes this movie for what it is, and there is absolutely no possible argument to be made that this miniseries is better than the new movie. I don't really know where to start, but the thing that really kills this movie is the pacing and the acting. Maybe its just the limitations of the times or budget or whatever, but the whole thing just doesn't work. All the actors, including Tim Curry as Pennywise, are just really bad. They aren't engaging at all not only due to the fact they are bad actors, but also because the writing is genuinely terrible. Worse still, the whole thing is over 3 hours long, and it was terrible waste of time. I also just looked up the budget for this movie. It was $12 million. You know what horror masterpiece was made for a million less than that? Alien. 1979. 11 years earlier. I know this was a TV miniseries, but apparently they weren't trying very hard.Steer very clear of this rendition of It.
