better than the OG ADAPTATION?
Easily, and it's not even close..
Penny Wise was that guy.. You start to like him at one point, and he's comical but never becomes tooo comical and cartoony like Tim Curry's. He's still menacing 99% of the time..
the ONE thing I could do without tho is him becoming whatever the kids fear most, because at one point it gets kinda goofy.. NOT REALLY A SPOILER:: one of the kids is scared of some weird ass painting of a woman with a long warped head.. kinda like this
and penny wise basically turns into it to scare one of the kids, but it isn't scary at all.. it just looks stupid..
really my only complaint though.. Movie was fire. Go see it asap
