That doesn't make sense since IT 2017 had no technological constraints, how would time be a factor here? IT 2017 works on every level and feels like a complete movie wether it's story, plot, makeup, acting, atmosphere, you name it.

Time is not a requirement to see that IT 1990 was cringe-worthy, people have been saying it since it released. But now that IT 2017 is here, it is just THAT much more apparent!

I remember the mini-series being pretty well received. Of course, I was a kid then, so maybe that invalidates my opinion. But since I'm an adult now, I'd imagine that would give a bit more weight to my opinion on the new movie.

Time will tell of course, but I think audiences will eventually turn on, LOUD NOISE!, "SCARY" FACE! kind of horror. 

The development of the kids (except for Stanley and Mike who have pretty much nothing to do) is good though. So that will always hold up. But I never thought the kids part was that bad in the miniseries either. It was always the adult part where I tuned out. Now that was really bad.

I also remember being totally into IT when I was a kid, we have a higher suspension of belief as children and don't really recquire too much to get the imagination going.

Yeah, time will tell. I agree with most people when they say it wasn't that scary, more-so just an all around good movie. I find that IT 2017 did a very good job making the IT character moodishly entertaining as opposed to resorting to talking to the camera and being more of a show for the audience, if that makes any sense.

The adult part was bad, probably what brought down the movie for most. Direct to TV though so...
