Stephen King's IT (Time to Float) - Official Thread

This is child acting at its finest. Many Oscar winning films can't even get performances out of kids this good

This was the main thing that made me hesitant to see the movie. Child acting 9.5 times out of 10 is HORRIBLE! Only kids to have ever pulled it off was the kid in the Sixth Sense and the little girl in War of the Worlds. I finally caught this movie last week and the acting was great. Skarsgard was deeply demented. Easily surpasses his brother in acting.

So were all those floated kids at the end dead or could they be rescued like the girl was? Was the little boy floated as well or did the clown just eat him immediately?

Rewatching the mini. I watch it like 3x year. Why are y'all saying this isn't good and didn't age well? Aside from a handful of effects that always have looked cheesy, I think it's an excellent TV movie. The pace is excellent, and it never feels upbeat, There's a reason it hasn't been forgotten.

My interpretation is that the floating kids at the end were dead, and couldn't be revived. The brother wasn't floating possibly because he was being used as a pawn to lure in his brother Billy

The girl was saved because she wasn't afraid of Pennywise, so he couldn't kill her.

I'm guessing that his power is that he can put kids in a trance and float with that thing he did with the lights in his mouth.

Got a chance to see "IT" over the weekend.

Overall, I thought it was really good. I wouldn't say it's "Incredibly Scary" but this Pennywise IMO was effective. Tim Curry's Pennywise, though I loved, was a bit campy even for the time. They definitely made Pennywise something to legit be scared of. Bill Skarsgård was perfect as Pennywise to me. The kids were also great, especially Finn Wolfhard (from Stranger Things) who was the comic relief of the movie . There's some things they didn't include from the Book but I don't think it really took anything away from the movie (the Book is long AF and very, very detailed). I was a little with the ending but it didn't kill the movie for me.

And of course...

They set it up for the sequel when they're Adults and have to come back to Derry. Hope they don't include the fukkin Spider

I gave it 7.5-8/10

 

[Kid Dynamite]

The only thing that would scare me is if they include the spider... I'm literally terrified of them and would instantly skip the second chapter

As far as I'm concerned the scariest movie created is arachnophobia

Saw the 1030 in AVX last night. Never seen the OG film so will definitely watch that over the weekend.

I really enjoyed it. Kids killed it. Their back and forth was great, and obviously reminds me of the banter from Stranger Things. Richie was on one the entire flick

I liked that there wasn't any "cheap pop" scares. When anything happened Pennywise was right there on screen. The opening scene actually threw me off. Didn't think they'd actual show a kid getting his arm ripped off like that. I was all in after that

 

[Milomann]

Went in not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The first Pennywise scene was meh but it got a lot better. Solid movie.

 

[CEOHaize]

I loved this movie. It was much closer to the book than the original. I wish they had more of Pennywise actually killing people. It would have raised the stakes. adding in the boy that Pennywise kills by basically ripping off his head would have added a lot imo.

The look of pennywise I really dug a lot. They short changed Mike a lot I really hope in the sequel they put more focus on him as an adult.
