I knew they were going to make Richie you-know-what. I don't get why all these people are like "it was a surprise!". No, it wasn't a surprise. I knew Richie loved him because in the book, he kisses him on the cheek before they leave.
I really loved the Chapter 1 movie, I think it did justice to the book, but I "DIDN'T LIKE THE ENDING" of Chapter 2. I had some problems with the final showdown...
First, Mike isn't in the final showdown in the book, but that doesn't mean he wasn't an important character. They insisted on putting him in there in the movie, and I wouldn't have had a problem with it if they didn't make him so cheesy. He also "steals" this stupid jar thing from Native Americans, and recklessly risks the Losers' lives with his really dumb plan. None of that is in the book. Mike is a way cooler character in the book, even if he's totally absent from the showdown. I really hated this.
Second, they left SOMEONE ALONE. What the hell? In the book, one of them stays behind JUST TO BE THERE and to hold him until the end. They totally cheapened their characters when they ditched him to do their stupid final battle with Pennywise, which doesn't even happen this way in the book...
That's the last big problem I had. Its true form is so corny in the movie. In the book, it's actually all really scary and dire, and it's amazing how they ever win. And if I'm remembering correctly I think it was only Bill and Richie who strike the finishing blow. The whole "power of belief" thing is a lot less corny when it's just two of them
Whatever... It's my favorite book, so I guess I still like the movies because I'm a fan... I understand, though. It was probably not easy to fit that huge story into 2 movies. I'm OK, I still liked it

OK that sounds stupid, I guess it did happen sort of in the same way in the book. I DON'T KNOW...…. The clown was just so dumb -_______- why is it a clown...… it's not supposed to be a clown... omg...
James Robinson
No, I always ALWAYS thought Richie was gay for him from the book

stop trying to get it turned into an anime. it's not going to happen.
My nigga that last thing I would want would be another anime. Do you really think people could buy all the trippy space out of body fighting with real people and cgi? I think animation would defiantly give a lot more freedom to stay a lot more closer to the books instead of using actors and building all these sets.

You're not wrong, but I NEED LIVE ACTION! I NEED IT

Weaksauce.
We were supposed to "get" references to The Thing and The Dead Zone and feel really fucking clever just as a distraction from how dull this adaptation was.
You know why Tim Curry rocked the first adaptation? Because his Pennywise thought he had it in the bag. He's just so casual about shit because he doesn't worry at all. Meanwhile, new kid is just hamming it up.
Really disliked them killing Hocksetter out of nowhere. His little bit in the book was fucking freaky.
Did the deadlights all wrong. They're supposed to be orange. Should have made them the color of circus peanuts.
Changing the time period was ultimately stupid. By the 1980s, nobody liked clowns anymore. What made Pennywise disturbing is that in the 1950s, clowns were still a thing. Maybe a little odd, but only a few kids disliked them.
Of course, they still dressed Bev like she was from the 1950s.
I can see them cutting out Bill's wife and Bev's husband, but ... Henry Bowers was dispatched too easily. We were supposed to have FIVE go down there, not SIX.

omg, don't remind me of THAT refrigerator scene I'm going to cry
