I was a little disappointed, even though the movie had some really good parts, and really scary parts. The effects were fabulous. I found the story rushed, despite the excruciating 3 hour play. The effects seemed to dominate the face time. I would have rather watched the characters, and their stories. The TV version did a better job of showing off the strong characters. I think the casting was at fault. Bill Hader was excellent as Richie, but the other actors were poor in comparison.
