What did you think of It (2017)?
For those who have seen the latest version, what did you think of it? How does it compare to the source material and other versions?

The new It movie, I felt, was so much better. Of course, we have improved our technology and techniques over time, so many of the scenes using CGI or blood looked infinitely more real. I did have issues with the scene in Beverly's bathroom, though, with the explosion of blood. It looked like some really outdated red filter was used to shoot that portion of the movie. However, the performances were spot on. Henry Bowers was far more intimidating this time around, the relationship between the Losers' Club felt more organic, and Bill Skarsgård's rendition of It gave me chills instead of having me laughing on the floor.
Overall, I was incredibly pleased with it, and I am anxious for part two.
I would recommend watching the original adaptation, if nothing else, at least for the experience.

I like horror movies that aren't all about fear, and this one felt like a mix between horror and coming of age. Love it!
