I've never seen the first It movie, well, tv series that they had of the movie, but I thought the new one was really good. I used to hate scary movies but i started going to see them with friends and I enjoy them now, and I thought the movie was fucking great. It had its humor but you never really laughed enough to forget that the movie is a horror movie, which kind of made for an awkward spooky feeling that made it a lot scarier for me. The kids in the movie did an amazing fucking job in this movie, and that richie kid made me crack up lol. Its overall a pretty good movie imo, but i cant relate it to the first installment of the film since i havent seen it, but i plan to watch the old one soon and also the new movie whenever it comes out.
