I watched the first part yesterday. It's so bad. I just finished reading the book last week and have been so excited for the new adaptation that just hit theaters. To prime myself for the new movie I decided to watch the old one and I am so disappointed. Things that annoyed me: 1. Child Bill's stutter is so horribly unbelievable. 2. Audrey's accent. Casting for her part should've been easy: American actress that looks similar to adult Bev 3. Book Bill: Bald, Movie Bill: Nasty ponytail. 4. They made adult Ben into kind of a prick, they got the lonely part right, but why make him douchey? 5. Child Ben is less fat and just stocky, looks like he would grow up to be an NFL lineman. Also, child ben's aggression isn't built up at all, he beats up his cousin so easily. 6. What is the point of having Ben live with cousins anyway? 7. Stan's Boy Scout obsession was weird. 8. Bowers, Victor and Belch were never greasers! This was maybe the biggest annoyance to me. His being an uneducated, hick farmboy was integral to his character. 9. Every time the kids encountered It he was so unthreatening - sure, kill Georgie and then just yell at the other kids. 10. Pennywise just wasn't scary and the werewolf was laughable. 11. Why include Bev's the poem with Bev's hair being like fire but not have a red haired actress? 12. The final sewer fight was so bad. If they had done the werewolf why couldn't they do Frankenstein in the sewers? 13. If the kids suspected It was only wounded in the sewers, why would they feel the need to make a pact to return? (I understand this was a hybrid of the werewolf in the house scene and the final battle, but it was lost on me).
What did I miss?
