Review from the comment
Big time mixed feelings on this one. It is an excellent coming of age movie wrapped up by an ok horror flick. The developing of the protagonists is so well done, rivaling the level of a Stand By Me or a Breakfast Club. But the scary elements of It are above average at best. There is too much Pennywise here, (not that Bill Skarsgard did a poor job-quite the opposite) which results in him feeling like a Freddy Krueger type character. That's not chopped liver, buts it not the level of which nightmares are made either, at least not for me.
