Seen it yesterday, I enjoyed it. Still prefer Curry's voice and antics, but overall I had fun watching and the scares and attempts at getting closer to the book were great.

Man that first scene had me red hot mad in my feelings, so uncomfortable but they made you remember why Pennywise ain't shit LOLOL SMMFH.
I didn't think they were gonna show that shit. The theatre got quiet AF after that shit. I seen mad people jump out their seats just from that scene alone and several others hiss my nigga yes HISS LOOLOLOOOLOLOL
The way they paced it and buttered us up for that shit was fucked LOLOLOLOL
Again GREAT movie
When he bit his arm off bruh lol
it was quite a bit different from what i expected but in a good way — i didnt expect to laugh nearly that much and it was very touching at times as well — i wouldnt say it was the scariest thing ive ever seen but thats maybe asking for a lot when i already know whats going to happen (more or less) -- i had a lot of fun watching though and it seemed like everybody else in the theatre did too
the best line for me by far was ritchie saying
the whole theatre cheered
another thing that worked really well with the rest of the audience at my local theatre was waiting until the closing credits to disclose the movies full title
in the ad, on the poster and marquee and in the opening credits the title is just "IT”
most of my audience seemed surprised by the "Part I" tag
i guess that says a lot about the films success in drawing an audience beyond the stephen king diehards
(i had heard they were having a tough time identifying the social media awareness of the movie on account of "IT" being the most generic film title possible)

You PUNCHED me in the face, made me walk through SHITTY WATER, dragged me through a CRACKHOUSE… AND NOW IM GONNA HAVE TO KILL THIS FUCKING CLOWN

Wow. I feel sick. Good job marketing team.
They had me by the balls with the first 2 acts. Even with the changes (like switching Ben and Mike's roles among other things) it was working and true to the spirit of the book.
Then the third act happened. That's where you can tell it went through 2 directors. It was a mess that damn near felt like a different movie and the deviations from the book were for the worse there (ie: Henry Bowers death, final confrontation). Took it from a 4 star movie to a 3 star with the quickness. Just Hollywood as fuck. They even showed the deadlights smh.
However the tone was good, the kids were excellent and I loved the emphasis on It being the great evil that infects and rots derry and it's residents.
Overall I'd recommend to fans of the novel and mini series but lower your expectations.

I felt the same about the third act. Just didn't feel the same haha. Didn't ruin the movie for me though. I gotta re read the book now, haven't read it since highschool.
