It was long, drawn out, and convoluted. It took forever to reach the climax of the film because of all the back story and flashbacks that were added to try to give the film depth and to build up character development. It was funny and creepy, but not at all scary. In the end, Pennywise was defeated by a barrage of...insults. You heard me. Name calling. Such a monumental let down. All in all, I recommend watching it at home in your pjs on the sofa once it hits HBO or Showtime. It was $13 and 2 hours 49 minutes of disappointment.
