IT (2017) : Jaeden Lieberher and Bill Skarsgård

[Broddie]

Now IT is the highest grossing horror film by passing the exorcist

Good! But It got nothing on first Exorcist movie is certified ill

Yeah but it was ok, the exorcist was never scary to me but IT has set the standard for scary movies nowadays

What other scary movie that has came out recently that can fuck with IT?

Get Out, Autopsy of Jane Doe, Don't Breathe, Green Room, Train to Busan.

IT was ok but let's be real here; anybody who is really into the horror genre knows it's not even in the top 10 for the 2010s. Let alone the best in recent memory.

You couldn't be anymore wrong.....really get out and don't breathe are not horror films anyway

1) It's subjective. You asked me to name some and I did. Just because you disagree it doesn't make it wrong.

2) There is more to the horror genre than the supernatural. They ARE horror films.

3) Majority of critics and audience reactions are on my side in this case so it's not this far fetched opinion that you hope it is.

Think it's more so the story and kids as well. Horror films rarely deliver good story teling and just focus on horror. To me this movie was well rounded so its def up there because most horror movies sine 2010 hell maybe 2005 have all lacked that outside very few. Get Out is more a sci-fi thriller to me but Don't Breathe was awesome tho I don't think I'd classify it as horror. Conjuring movies IMO have been the best mainstream horror films of this decade

The rest of those movies you mentioned don't even have half the hype IT has received...get out is not the same type of movie neither is don't breathe it's not just my opinion IT is one of the hottest movies so far this year. Like I said it broke the record so obviously it's doing better than the movies you thought of

Again just because it's not supernatural doesn't make it incomparable. It's all horror. Also I was referring to RT scores and stuff like that not box office. This has mass appeal while those others didn't.

Since they lacked mass appeal they were sleeper hits but hits nonetheless. All turned a profit with critical acclaim like IT but the latter had greater appeal for many reasons (nostalgia, Stephen King name brand, supernatural horror being hip again [ie: Conjuring, Insidious etc.] etc.)

Don't Breathe was bullshit

Don't Breathe was bullshit

How so? If the antagonist's motives and background were explained in the movie along with information of each character and their motives?

 

[ghostdog56]

Dope movie but the black dude didn't get any lines I guess I was expecting more because in the mini series he seemed like the most important character next to the dude that lost his brother

 

[Max.]

I like the original better....towards the end it got kinda wack

 

[Broddie]

The TV movie was fuckin terrible in comparison. Im just as nostalgic about it as anyone else but lets keep it real here......

"New car is better" ass nigga.

Preferences are preferences but I don't see how any self proclaimed fan of the novel could say it's terrible. Especially when it did a better job at following the structure of the book than this movie did and included a lot more elements from it too.

It's first half also doesn't have anything as cringy as the whole "Beverly gets kidnapped go rescue her" crap from the movie's 3rd act.

Yeah but you complain about EVERY movie on here ole contrarian ass nigga LOLOLOL. Fam the original wasn't very good and was a joke compared to the book. You cant possibly tell me OBJECTIVELY that the TV movie was better than this or that the TV movie was more truer to the books than the remake.

It was scary from the context that Tim Curry BODIED the role, I liked the original because of nostalgia but watching it as an adult - the pacing and the acting was panned man. Just keeping em honest. Didnt you say once that Mad Max with Tom Hardy was one of the worst movies of that year ? LOOLLOLOL yeah right nigga shut up !!!

I didn't say it was better than this but I'm also not gonna act like it's significantly worse either.

To say it's terrible is hyperbolic as fuck. Especially when the TV movie had things that it did better than the theatrical feature and had more fidelity to the novel's narrative and structure.

What's really contrarian is this "the new model is new so it must be better" mentality as if the old one no longer has any merit or something. It's ok to enjoy both and it's just as important to recognize that both had strengths and weaknesses. THAT'S objectivity.

Oh and you're thinking of the wrong person cause Fury Road was my favorite movie that year and I praised it's brilliance everywhere I went.

 

[Broddie]

I get it bro but the numbers and opinions don't lie, this is the better movie than the original TV movie as a whole. The only thing niggas should rightfully argue is who had the better Pennywise ? Skarsgard or Curry ?

Curry's voice was fuckin terrifying but Skarsgard was a pedophile and creep. This nigga was drooling when Georgie came to the sewer.

Numbers and opinions?

A movie's gross matters now when discussing quality? Furthermore how can you even compare by that variable when 1) You can't measure box office gross for a TV movie and 2) A TV movie will naturally end up having more viewers because it's more easily accessible? Especially when it's over 2 decades old.

So by that logic the TV mini series is actually better cause it had more viewers? C'mon son.
