The movie stars Jaeden Lieberher as the main protagonist Bill Denbrough, whose brother Georgie is killed by a monster at the beginning of the movie, setting Bill on a quest for revenge, and Bill Skarsgard as It/Pennywise, the ancient evil that terrorizes the town of Derry Maine every 27 years. The rest of the main cast includes Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Nicholas Hamilton.
There are several differences between the movie and the book, one of the main differences being that the Children's part of the story is set in the late 1980s as opposed to the 1950s. Also, the book jumps back and forth between the story with the group as kids and as adults, which makes it very hard to follow, so the movie is much more streamlined in the storytelling. And, even by splitting the story into two movies, they could not include every element that was included in the book, so there are parts of the story that the movie takes out. The book has a lot of exposition and backstory that is honestly not needed in the movie, so I do not think anything that is left out of the movie is really missed. And, the movie does change the most controversial part of the book from something that could never be filmed to something that could.
For those who get the 4K set, there are two discs, the UHD disc with just the movie itself, and the regular blu-ray which has the movie and the extra. The A/V quality of the UHD disc is fine, but not great. The movie was shot in 2k, so it is upscaled to 4k, and honestly does not look much different than the video quality of the regular blu-ray. The extras include trailers, about 15 minutes of deleted scenes, and three different behind-the-scenes featurettes, one on Pennywise, one on the cast of kids, and then one in which Stephen King is interviewed about this latest adaptation of the book.
Overall, the movie is very good. It is still not overly gory, but it does get a bit gory toward the end. Still, it is more of a psychological thriller than a blood-and-guts horror movie. The acting is very good, which given the cast was made up of young, mostly unknown actors (Finn Wolfhard was probably the most well-known of the child actors), is kind of surprising. Bill Skarsgard is great as Pennywise, who is definitely the main attraction. He can switch from innocent, to creepy, to scary at the drop of a hat. Even if you are not a huge fan of the book, this is still worth watching, as it is one of the few times where I have found a movie to be better and more entertaining than the book. It is definitely a must-watch if you like horror movies.
Having never actually read Stephen King, or having seen the much-beloved 1990 adaptation of his most famous story, I was only ever kinda curious about this new "IT". For one thing, I've never found clowns scary, so I was skeptical of how well this version could deliver good horror. Of course, after it became such a huge hit, I decided I had to check it out. The verdict?
It's . . . . interesting.
I'll admit it. The film wasn't scary to me overall, though it does boast some standout scenes. The opening scene is great, and probably where Bill Skarsgard shines brightest in his performance. When he isn't relegated to transforming his face into a toothy sock, he can be honestly creepy and unsettling, and his introduction is one of the few scenes in the movie where he's allowed to perform free of CGI - something I felt the rest of the film sorely needed at times. Another favorite of mine was the bathroom scene with Beverly, where we not only get a fantastic amount of blood, but a brilliant extension where her father comes in to check on her and takes no notice of the new paint job . . . he just "comforts" her while she's still reeling from the grisly scene.
As good as those scenes - and others - are, however, they're almost lost in the film's nearly relentless attempts to scare you. Barely a scene goes by without it turning into a horror short, meanwhile you're left wondering why the main bully is so friggin' psychotic, or why almost every adult in the town is creepy or perverted. Certain tidbits of backstory aren't dropped until 3/4 through the film, making any attempt to know the characters further much like following a trail of bread crumbs through a haunted house. Its determination to be a scary movie is so firm that it almost forgets to pay attention to anything else, and although our child characters do become more developed and likable as the story goes on, their personal arcs are almost afterthoughts.
BUT, something interesting did happen while I was watching. The longer the film went on, the more I started to feel like I wasn't supposed to be getting answers to these questions . . . . . . instead, I started to realize just how sweeping a metaphor IT is actually meant to be. We experience our main characters much in the way they experience IT . . . . Pennywise rarely stops terrorizing them, so the film rarely stops trying to terrorize us. They often only have brief amounts of time to have fun or focus on anything else in their lives, so the film in turn is sparse with these moments. And by the time the Losers' Club unites to confront and kill Pennywise, the many disjointed storytelling elements start to want to make a little more sense. The terror of IT lies in more than just Pennywise . . . . anytime Eddie is dealing with his marginally unsettling overprotective mother, or Beverly is dealing with her decidedly horrible father, or any of them are dealing with the bullies or other creepy adults in the town, they are dealing with IT. The town's sinister history, its exponentially high rates of child disappearances, the cyclical phenomenon of Pennywise himself . . . . it turns the whole town of Derry into a monster, one which our kid characters are forced to confront in all its myriad, shape-shifting terror. The culmination of this arrives at the film's end - in something of a cleverly subtle way - when Pennywise is finally left shriveling, powerless in the face of the children who have overcome their fears. As belated as the movie's true intentions may become clear, it does help turn a scattered horror flick into something a bit more thoughtful and intelligent.
Is 2017 "IT" scary? Well, not to me. Skarsgard's performance as Pennywise is pretty good, and most of the kids do great jobs as well - particularly Sophia Lillis and Jaeden Lieberher (we already knew Finn Wolfhard would be good). And while I haven't read the novel, my understanding is that this is a pretty faithful adaptation of its first half . . . . in which case, there is certainly a small glimmer here of the deeper meaning that has likely made the story so lasting. I still feel it's a bit messy and under-developed in some respects, but it definitely has its moments and is at least worth seeing for any horror fan. I'll certainly be interested in checking out the director's cut, if it's still planned to be released, along with the inevitable "Chapter Two".
Until then, don't listen to those voices in the sink.

La vi por primera vez unos meses antes de que se estrenara la segunda. No conocía mucho de la trama, tampoco he visto la primera adaptación que se hizo en los 90, ni tampoco me he leído el libro… sin embargo me vi la película y me encanto.
Fue una sensación de “amor-odio”, porque te gusta lo que ves pero a la vez lo pasas mal puesto que es una película de terror.
Ya me la he visto 4 ó 5 veces, y por eso me la he comprado, junto con la 2@, porque son de esas películas que no pueden faltar en tú filmoteca particular.
Recomendable 100%!!

Custodia amaray nera con sovracoperta.
Tecnicamente non esiste edizione migliore del film.
In merito al contenuto della pellicola si entra in un discorso legato al gusto soggettivo; non in discussione invece quanto il film, diviso in due parti di cui questa è la prima, sia nettamente superiore all'omonimo sceneggiato (e scempiaggine, a mio avviso) televisivo degli anni 90.
L'opera originale, il libro, credo sia impossibile da trasporre fedelmente su schermo, ma in questa riedizione si cerca quantomeno di mantenersi più attinenti al materiale di Stephen King fermo restando la presenza di diverse discrepanze.
