As a standalone film it was ok but compared to the miniseries it was fantastic. King very often let his work get butchered on crappy TV movies and series. I know the film wasn't completely faithful to the book but it did a good job of keeping what worked and discarding what didn't. The kid who played Pennywise, who had some big shoes to fill (Yes, that was a clown joke), as Tim Curry's performance in the original was one of the few redeeming qualities of the series, did an excellent job. The opening scene with Georgie was spot on and I loved it.

It (2017) - 7 outta 10 stars
