Summary: Not As Scary
Review: I first saw this film when I was 9 and I've never been so scared in my life! But I watched IT for the second time last night, 7 years on. I realised that it wasn't scary. Although it's a good movie, and it brought back a lot of memories, it didn't scare me.

Summary: Still scared
Review: I'm too scared to read the book, I first saw the movie when I was younger and it scared me to death I still can't watch the entire thing. It's weird because I was trying to watch it and realized how cheesy and stupid it was yet I was still scared. How does that work? I'll read the book when I have more courage. I'd still recommend it.

Summary: Oblivion is belief
Review: This book, this film, is a masterpiece. First, it works on the fears and frights all children have, but those fears and frights are all dressed up as something they like, as a clown, so friendly-looking, so attractive, and yet IT is a fiend. Here King multiplies those fears so much, due to the fact that there are SEVEN children, six boys and one girl, that we get lost in the real labyrinth this book builds. Second, it analyzes those children in so many details, and it takes them thirty years later, unrealized for most of them, successful but totally unrealized, just empty shells, filled with oblivion and the impossibility to really be full and happy. That is the worst thing fear produces in a man or a woman, the impossibility to be happy and to fulfill his or her perspective, plan, project or future. He or she can maybe reach a certain level of fame, or art, or quality, but he or she cannot enjoy the happiness any man or woman should endeavour and deserve to get. IT is the anchor that forces us not to go all the way to the rising sun. Third, intelligence, conquering energy and strength is in children because they believe the world is not what they want it to be, they believe the world is what it wants to be, IT wants it to be, that is to say a long perspective of suffering and terror, interspierced with some moments of light and life and communion. This communion is the power of humanity. And grown-ups never get to that level of unity because they are afraid of the others, of their neighbors, of death, of suspicion, of what other people may think of them. Fourth, King invests the monster once again in the ground, underground. The monster is some kind of supernatural spider that needs to capture as many preys as possible every thirty years to be able to hibernate and live happily in its lair for the next thirty years. But then it has to come out again to feed and to replenish its cupboard with fresh meat and flesh. The most interesting aspect of this book or this film is the distance in time between the children and the grown-ups they become. The distance enables us to measure time and change, and yet to recognize that change is only on the surface whereas the depth of humanity, the depth of society, the depth of human nature remains the same. Yet a simple thing, like a bicycle, is able to bring infancy and childhood back and to enlighten the present with the past, to refill our heads with memories, and memories are the fodder of our minds, the force that is driving us to the sun and success. We can only get somewhere if we can solve the problems of our past, if we can get over the blocking stones of our engines, if we can put aside the narrow blinders education has put on our eyes and if we finally can see the whole picture all around and not be reduced to the tunnel vision most of us only have.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, Paris Universities II and IX

Summary: It.....wasn't that good.
Review: From a Stephen King fan this was terrible. The first half is okay but the second half is just plain stupid! If you want to see a really good made-for-tv Stephen King movie see the Stand and Storm of the century.Not rated but contains scary scenes.

Summary: What the hell . . .?
Review: That was a peice of corn. Seriously! The only good parts were Tim Curry as Pennywise (I LOVE TIM!) and the dog in the jail cell who "killed" the guard. One reason why this movie sucked, was because it was produced by Tim Curry's evil chinese impersonator: TIM BLURRY! Yes, Tim Blurry looks exactly like a chinese bum they found off the streets, unleashed maggots on his face and hair, fed on his flesh. Tim Curry is a schizophrenic, and Blurry is the outcome. That is why the movie sucked. DON'T LET BLURRY FOOL YOU! BURN HIM IF HE COMES NEAR! Remember that hairspray makes him stronger, bu nail polish remover takes away his strength. I know cuz my friend is a pyromaniac and we had a little burning ceromoney, where we burned Tim Blurry. TIM CURRY RULES! DON'T FORGET TO SEE CHARLIE'S ANGELS! Which Tim Blurry also co-produced, well only the part when he dies . . . DON'T LET BLURRY FOOL YOU! BURN HIM, BEFORE HE MAKES YOU FLOAT!

Summary: The reason I hate clowns
Review: I first saw IT in 6th grade at a church lock-in (LONG STORY) now I'm in 9th grade and I still have a hard time going in to the locker-room at school by myself... it is SO good! But don't watch it if you want to sleep at all!

Summary: One of the better book to movie creations.
Review: When I saw "IT" after reading the book I was rather impressed. Because I have seen other book to movie creations of Stephen King Books and found this one to be the best. For example a book that was cut to shreds in the movie version was Needful Things. The book was great and to say the least I was VERY disappointed with the movie, but above all in Stephen King for allowing his book the be shredded like that!!!

Summary: what the hell happened?
Review: this is the worst stephen king movie ever! the book is my favorite out of all books and i've read it a thousand times, maybe that was why i was so disappointed in this movie. when i first saw this movie on tv i was horrified, tim curry was the perfect choice for the clown, and the first part (with the children) was ok, but the directors left so much out and changed so much, i felt betrayed. i've seen it once more lately to see if my perspective had changed, but i'm still saddened by the lack of respect for the greatest book i've ever read. maybe if it hadn't been a tv movie...
