I'm so glad to see other people's opinions about this, as I've been on the fence for a while about whether to see this new one or not. I feel very ambivalent, and I appreciate seeing what people here are saying about it, so thank you! @waitformetoturnblue - you put it sucinctly-  I feel allegiance to the old film, and I love Tim Curry as Pennywise, but I also know it was not considered a well made movie. I do know it scared the hell out of me as a kid, but haven't watched it probably since my late teens, so I really don't know how I would feel watching it now, whether I would pick it apart, or love it just as much. Even back then I knew the ending was pretty rough lol. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the book, and I really dig that everything I've heard is that this remake stays faithful to the book (at least as much as possible, thank goodness they made some strategic omissions there! No spoilers, but I'm sure you know what I mean!!) and so in the end, I know that despite my misgivings, nothing could keep me from seeing the movie! @clio I feel the same way! What I've seen of the new Pennywise is creepier looking, but seems to lack that maniac cheerful slapstick element that I thought Tim Curry brought so scarily to Pennywise that it's forever burned in my mind...   

The girl in the video is pretty dang awesome if you ask me. Gorgeous. 😉
