"I'm getting surprisingly aroused the more I talk about how much they float."

Ok, I usually agree with you Critic, but there's something I need to get off my chest here: The balloons aren't the scary part! Neither is "It" being a clown! The fear comes from the fact that this thing doesn't follow the rules of reality, hell, if it didn't care so much about fucking up their lives, and just killed them instantly, it would be literally unstoppable! When Mike turns around and sees the balloon, he isn't freaking out because it's a balloon, he's freaking out because he knows that It was in the room with him and he didn't even notice. If you were sitting in your room, and got up to go to the bathroom or something, you're gone for maybe a minute, and you come back to see that everything in your room has been moved around, is your reaction "Oh god, something's in my house?" or "Gosh darn it, I just cleaned this room last week." Admittedly, alot of the things you mentioned made sense, the flashbacks were pretty dumb, the spider thing was stupid, and Curry in the library was possibly the funniest thing I've seen in a long time, but god damn! This monster does something that goes beyond all sense of reality, bending time and space to scare these kids, and your reaction is "this is silly, why balloons?!?" ... Just really bugs me.

*****​ have you ever heard of psychological horror thriller? While I have never read the book or seen this film I can definitely tell that they were going for that. Also, being the nicest person does not really fall into that. Sometimes the psychological bits come from expectations being melted into something it is not supposed to be. Like turning Sailor Moon into a horror thriller. Normally you expect it to be lighthearted and happy only to have that turned in the darkest direction possible as the show progresses . It's still bright and colorful and happy looking of the context and surroundings are not. (Heck, someone already did something like that to the magical girl genre which is normally for children.)

***** I suppose you get a dark comedy.

The plot makes sence, it's just that you don't really get it. The reason why Pennywise becomes a werewolf, a mumy, a dog and all the other things, is because he is the definition of fear. That's why he persues everyone differently. They all fear differente things. That's also why the battery acid and saying bird names worked. It's something that made them feel safe. The baloons are not scary because it's baloons. They are supposed to be signs of Pennywise. Kinda like that bees aren't scary until you're chades by the candyman.

@Xyronflare

Exactly! The balloons are a warning. Of course they're not scary by themselves, but when they're used several times as the alarm that says Pennywise is coming, you start shitting your pants when they appear. It's basic Pavlovian psychology. The dog didn't give a crap about the bell until he noticed that every time the bell rang, food followed. Same thing here. Balloons are awesome until you notice that every time they pop out of nowhere, soon that murderous clown will spawn. I like the Critic, but in some reviews, like this one, he seems to completely ignore or just don't get whatever's going on for the sake of an attempt at a funny comment via screaming. Hands down, though; the part with the balloons with eyeballs was unexpected and hilarious.

I really feel he's taking way to many shots on King's writing for stuff they did in the movie. First, Henry is evil, but he's not one dimensional, there are whole chapters on his point of view. Second, IT is explained in the book, and his origin is understood thoroughly Three, The Clown does try to kill the kids in the book, the movie ignored that for ratings purposes I assume. Fourth, the Town is supposed to be evil, that's why the kids are isolated and feel alone. Fifth, the flashbacks didn't even appear in the book in the same way. You can't blame Stephen Kings for these tropes.

It never really scared me. If Pennywise used his scary/funny routine, I'd just laugh, because he is genuinely pretty funny.

I think after that point I actually started to have as much if not more empathy (not sympathy) with Pennywise than with the kids. Almost like "aww, he doesn't really hate them, he's just fucking around with them".

I love this movie. Treated it like a nonsensical dark comedy flick.

I love the book, but the ending sucks in both versions. Its worse in the book though, because your reaction goes from "WE WAITED THREE HOURS FOR THAT!?!" to "WE WAITED ONE THOUSAND FUCKING PAGES FOR THAT!?!"

That, and King does tend to recycle quite a few plot devices (alcoholics, abusive parents, Maine etc), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It might even be better that King writes about things he knows/understands.

_It_ got its infamous reputation because, in the 70's it was controversial/stretched the bounds as being the scariest thing showed on television at the time, as a mini-series movie. And yes, fear of clowns spawned heavily because of this this film.

I think the reason the bird book thing worked was really very simple. When a small child wakes up crying because of a nightmare what do you do? You go comfort them and get them thinking about something completely different so they aren't scared anymore. Well older kids can do the same thing fro themselves. IT preys on the fears of kids and Stan was scared of the Mummy in the movies and Richie of the werewolf(though the werewolf was wearing a letter men jacket I don't know why). So Stan did the only thing you can do in that situation get himself to think about something completely different so he isn't so scared. That's what I think anyway and makes perfect sense to me. You should read the book it was really good.

I think that the mummy was so confused by what he was doing that it stopped to try to understand it.

Well realism is important for things like these so....

To be far, the adaptations are almost never like the books. The novel It explains so much, the characters are deeper and it's a hell of a lot scarier. The spider is as close to It's true form as the human mind can comprehend and the deadlights cause people to die or go insane. Trust me Critic: read the novel. Oh, and please review the good adaptations like Misery, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile or Christine.

I know he does do good reviews but they're very few and far between the bad reviews. I mean what would he say if he reviewed any of those movies you mentioned? Especially the green mile and the shawshank redemption. They're both movies that have already been given great reviews by just about everybody. That being said, I would like to see him review Misery. That is a good suggestion.

HeroOfDarkness13 It's all good, see my last message ^ :D I can't help it sometimes... must not look at comments lol

I think that what King tried (and... maybe failed) to show with the story was that childhood traumas stay with us all our lives as phobias. For example, the dog that attacks the mental hospital guy. King has a phobia of dogs, I think (see also: Cujo) so that's what he writes into his books. As well as alcoholic, terrible parents, terrible spouses, being bullied... it's pretty much autobiographical and cathartic for King. BUT, these fears can be fought through childhood innocence, as shown in the last scene where the near-cathatonic woman is revived by the sheer simple joy of riding a bicycle. "IT" would prey on those phobias by assuming the shape of that which scared you most, and a lot of people around the world (particularly kids) are terrified of clowns. The whole balloon thing is taking something that's normally joyous and fun and turning it into the prelude to something you fear. Plus the whole "they float" thing is a metaphor for death, I believe. Y'know, ghosts and all that? I did find it disappointing that IT was a creature from outer space and not something supernatural like a boggart or a poltergeist. That would've made more sense. The book does a better job IMO but I do agree... King's endings tend to be... really disappointing.

SCARING THE LITTLE GIRL?? LADY!!

And that why the book is ALWAYS better than the movie/series. In the book you get to know what is the clown.

I can understand the people who are fans of Steven King don't love the review. Bad adaptions just suck since it makes the source material look bad. No comment on the book, but yeah this adaptation is pretty weak. A lot of weirdness, but not really scary. I get a good laugh from the review, but I didn't read that book so it's easier in that case. At least checking out the comments gave some insight into what was actually good in the book in comparison to...this.

Bah, those series suffered the same as any horror book adaptation to cinema or TV: THE FUCKING CENSORSHIP! Like, when each of them meet the monster for the 1st time, the thing actually try to brutally kill them; or when they face him(or her, it depends on the reader's POV) together, they actually start to lose their shit (reasons unknown) and Beverly has to have sex with each one of them for them to calm down. Also, each death in the book is gruesomely detailed.

As for the movie I might be one of the few kids I knew who LOVED this and didn't find this movie the least bit scary. Two things 1. about that girl sleeping with every member of the group.....

Kyler Wilmoth You seem to be missing the point. This man has the gall to call himself a critic. He should do two second of research before spending fucking 5 minutes of the video bitching about something most of the audience understands the reason behind. That time wasted is boring to them and shows his ignorance. If you want to judge the movie based on its own merits, without the consideration of the book, FINE. But either don't compare it to the book at all then, or point out where the movie failed that the book succeeded. Nostalgia "Critic" wants to have his cake and eat it too, meaning do both those things, and do neither well. Not surprising considering the complete lack of film education on his part. His own "movies" are garbage and he still warrants himself worthy to critique the work of professionals. If you want an entertainer/critic who actually KNOWS and understands the medium enough to critique it, go for Brad Jones's Cinema Snob. His passion and experience with film making shine through. Nostalgia "Critic" has no place appointing himself a critic.

The death scene at the end still kills me.

"We waited THREE FUCKING HOURS for THAT?!!?" That has got to be one of the most perfect line deliveries I've ever heard in my life! Lmfao!!!
