Is there anything scarier than clowns? Of course not. And who knows scary better than Stephen King? You see where we're going. It puts a malevolent clown (given demented life by a powdered, red-nosed Tim Curry) front and center, as King's fat novel gets the TV-movie treatment. Even at three hours plus, the action is condensed, but an engaging Stand by Me vibe prevails for much of the running time. The seven main characters, as adolescents, conquered a force of pure evil in their Maine hometown. Now, the cackling Pennywise is back, and they must come home to fight him--or, should we say, It--again. Admitting the TV-movie trappings and sometimes hysterical performances, this is a genuinely gripping thriller. As so often with King, the basic idea (the bond formed during a childhood trauma) is clean and powerful, a lifeline anchored in reality that leads us to the supernatural. --Robert Horton

First I read the book and I liked the story. If you want to understand the movie, you must read the book before because the story is so complicated that you will not understand. Secondly,this film is too long and it's hard to remember all the details.
***WARNING***
If you are afraid of clowns don't watched this movie :p

The second best translation of a Steven King novel into a movie (the best being Carrie). It caused a whole generation of people afraid of clowns. The other option is reading the 1500 page book.

I have read many reviews and they all complain about the novel being TOO long, "over 1000 pages long" they say. Well excuse me but many of the great literary works are extensive. This novel in particular is extensive due to the perfect description of places, chacarters, thoughts, etc. Taking into account the enormous amount of detail and description put into this book, I think it would be more than clear to anyone that MAKING A GOOD MOVIE OUT OF THIS NOVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! -Please save yourself some money.
-Watch "The Shining", that's good acting
-Read the book when you are 11, 12 or 13
-Read it again 10 years later
-Read it at night
 great book, ultra bland 'made for tv' movie July 2, 2004

I'll put it like this: if your expectations are to see an 'ABC/CBS/NBC Movie of The Week' type thing , then you may be MILDY entertained by this. Yep, this DVD is actually a 'made for TV' movie done in 1990 or so. These things are at best, usually hokey, sappy, shlock filled semi-entertaining fare, where your constantly reminded how every shot, dialogue, scene ,script and action sequence could have been done SPECTACULARLY better as a 'big budget movie' movie. This DVD is no exception! Horror movies just don't have the horror , imo, in a made for TV format. And to make matters much worse, I don't think even a big blockbuster could even touch the magical depth and character the book has. It truly is one of Stephen King's best, imo.
 If you hate clowns...yes. Ending....no June 24, 2004

I do agree with the high rating of this movie because it is one of the scariest, creepiest, horror films I have ever seen. HOWEVER, I say that as someone who is terrified of clowns and anything having to do with them. If you are scared of clowns, this movie is a frightfest that will keep you glued to your seat. (Under the safety of the nearest blanket as well, and all closet doors locked.) If you are not really "moved to chills" by clowns then this one might not hit the mark for you. It's an interesting watch to say the least.My only problem with the movie (and with Stephen King's writing as a whole) is that it doesn't end well. It's almost like the man gives everything he has to 90% of the book and then drops the ending. He seems to do this with a lot of books, and those bad endings translate into bad movie endings. My recommendation? I always tell people that they will love the first 2-3 hours of it, but in all honesty they can skim through the last hour or so of the movie.
