SOLID! Not as good as I had hoped but not as bad as I was bracing for
Thought it was really funny at times. Richie was my favorite, the actor killed it. Mike's not my favorite in Stranger Things but I'm looking forward to S2 more now just because of how great he did here.
"This used to be a beaver trapping town"
"Still is, RIGHT FELLAS!"
Cracked me up. There was another line he had that was the best of the movie but I can't think of it. Eddie was my other favorite, he was also hilarious. When he broke his arm and Richie wanted to set it back into place, "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME DON'T TOUCH ME!"
I thought they were all great. It did give me Stranger Things vibes, not just because of Mike or the bikes or setting or anything, but just because the kids were all so well handled and felt genuine. I always hate child actors but off the top of my head the Stranger Things cast and this cast are among the best groups
I found absolutely none of it scary though, that's the big downside for me. Literally was unphased by every single scare which was a bummer. I didn't really even think many of the visuals or situations were that fucked up, especially for something that's supposed to be nightmarish. I think they could've done a lot better there. It probably hurt that I mostly knew the story
Pennywise was good, Skarsgard was solid. Curry scared me way more but I was obviously much younger. I dunno if I can fault Skarsgard for the lack of scares, more so the choices the director made
Really excited for the sequel either way. Bill Hader is getting a lot of buzz for older Richie and I think he'd be perfect
"ROCK FIIIIIIIGHT! *gets hit with rock*"
"Go blow your dad, you mullet wearing asshole!"
"Can only virgins see it? is that why i'm not seeing this shit?!"
"I can't believe I drew the short straw... you guys are lucky we ain't measuring dicks!"
"Imagine how Betty Ripsom feels as well having to run around in here with only one shoe."
"WHERE ARE HER LEGS"
"This motherfucker is bleeding hamburger helper."
All hilarious. I think the hamburger helper line was the one I was thinking of
I thought I had already heard that she was but that's good.
She said awhile back that she'd be interested but now the studio's actually talking to her about it. I imagine it'll probably happen now, I'm not sure how they can pass her up
