PEAK CINEMA. Everything about this film is perfection or near perfect. The acting is so good and never really drops that much. The cinematography looks incredible but it threw me off when it changed format but it looked incredible in the fight scene. The visual effects look stunning like when Sammie is singing in the speakeasy and it burns around him. Speaking about Sammie his vocals are insanely good but I feel bad for him because he just wanted to follow his passion. Most of the dialogue is realistic. I feel quite dumb because it took me like half the film to realize Michael B Jordan played both Smoke and Stack. The costumes look great and help at the end when it switches time. The intro gets you hooked immediately but does make is so you know Sammie survives. It is set in a closed environment so you can really see the characters chemistry. When Mary turns and it sets of people becoming infected it looks so good. The start of the film isn't super boring because stuff is actually happening whilst still introducing you to people. The only downside is I couldn't feel like I was in 1930 all the time and I don't know why. I did look up why the vampires were Irish and it is to show the complex intersections of African American and Irish histories.Smokes final scene is so sweet to watch seeing him reunite with Annie.It is so insane how it mostly takes place in one day.

Holy Moly. My jaw is on the floor after watching that. I don't have any cons because this is just perfection and I get why it is so popular. I went into this knowing nothing and thinking I will either give it a 5 or 4.5 and it was just brilliant. The cast is brilliant and even though they are famous and that for other movies can take you out of the story but for this it didn't. Probably the most beautiful cinematography or tied with sinners because it is just keeps you locked in and I just loved it. This isn't a huge thing and I didn't mind it without this but I would've liked a bit more of the narrators life at the start. The ending is what absolutely made me love this movie even more because it is played out in such a way that I have it in contest with The Mist and Truman Show. The acting is beautiful and I have no notes. The intro and just the whole movie gives you wanting to know more and then it all just links up perfectly. I liked the mystery of not knowing the narrators name. Brad Pitt excels in this. The little clues at the start with Tyler flickering on screen hinting about him being basically the narrators consciousness. The fight choreographer must have been loving their job doing this. I have to say it again the whole ending sequence just gets you locked in. I don't know how to explain it but the actors looks fit the characters exactly like Helena Bonhem Carter just fits Marla and Brad Pitt fits Tyler if you get what I mean.

Varied. I have a decent list of pros and cons so I will just start with cons. First the plot just felt quite rocky at some points like it made sense but felt like the pace varied and it was predictable at some moments. Next the dialogue it felt quite cringe at some points but it also was quite realistic. Most obviously the 2nd hand embarrassment it just made some scenes uncomfortable and almost unwatchable. Now onto the pros. The comedy was really good and I found myself laughing at a lot of them. The character relationships and how they changed drastically throughout. The emotion in the party argument and the scenes after that because of how different they are to the rest of the movie. The plot even though it was quite rocky was interesting enough. Overall probably won't rewatch ever or for awhile and just a quite balanced movie.

Loser=Lover.This movie was funny and scary and it was amazing. The cast being early teens their acting was really good. Richie was the funniest character in the movie I felt I laughed at all the jokes he made. I think I shouted at the TV a lot during this because characters in horror films are so dumb. I only covered my eyes once and that was in the Georgie boat even though I knew what would happen. This film has a vibe that I like. I felt bad for every character at different points. Bill Skarsgård does an amazing job as making Pennywise feel scary in his movements. This film and the book is iconic.
