The only connection I have with It was the Original TV Movie
Event that aired over two days and all I can remember from that
were a few select scenes. I remember John Ritter, Red Balloon,
very few scenes with Pennywise and enjoying what I was
watching.....that is until the final scene with that dumb Spider
that made no sense in the scheme of things. Years later what I
heard was that it was the only thing that the film makers could
use at that time to represent what the Human mind could not
comprehend. So, I was very curious to see what they were going
to do with the Reboot now that they would have the FX toys to
work with in fixing this one problem.
Well, having just watching It, that problem is never addressed
and was skipped all together. Or so I think. The thing I picked
up on for this Reboot is that they also jettison the whole
"Kids suffer traumatic childhood, grow up and then reunite years
later" to take on Pennywise. The Reboot just covers the years
when they are kids. But the way things are left in the movie,
they set it up to return 27 years later if need be to take on
Pennywise again. So yeah, a sequel is definitely coming for
sure.
As for the movie itself, I thought it was done extremely well.
Beautifully shot. At times it reminded me a bit of Stand by Me
and for whatever reason, The Goonies, even though there is no
humor or wit from that film. I think it has to do with the band
of misfits The Losers and having one Girl in the group. The
story at times was a bit confusing at the beginning where the
kids were being pursued by Pennywise. Remember, I don't remember
much of the Original movie. So it took awhile for some of that
Plot to come back to me. The final confrontation between the
Kids and Pennywise was done really well. I'm sure anyone that
has seen the movie already wants to see another installment. I
do. This one is definitely worth a Rent. I just wish there was
more Pennywise is all.
