Synopsis: 27 Years after they defeated Pennywise, the Losers Club reunite to destroy the evil creature for good.
The Good: The adaptation is done very well visually and The acting is high level (I never finished the book). There are some legit upsetting scenes and the play between characters comes off pretty solid. Mostly good effects and not the worst script ever.
The Bad: The problems are baked in. The fat shaming (that’s beyond what’s necessary for the story), the cliche’ of growing up to be ‘hot’ and now you get the girl. Some of the CGI…it’s subtle but…it’s distracting as well.
Best Line: Cut that fucking mullet…it’s been like 30 years.’
Fun Fact: Stephen King cameos as a pawn shop owner, the film’s director Andy Muschietti cameos as a customer at the pharmacy, and filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich cameos as himself, the director of the film based on Bill’s novel
