I can’t choose. I read the book a few times and loved both films evenly well. What do you think and why?

Ive not seen the newer version just the old 1990 one with tim curry as pennywise. I thought it was pretty good but enjoyed the book a lot more… the books are always better than the movies imo.

I’ve watched both and prefer the 2017 version.

I may like the newer one more, but I liked them both. The new one is closer to the book from what I remember.

I’m not into the horror genre, so I’ll have to pass on answering this.
the newest version of “it” began in the second sequel nothing like the book so I didn’t finish it…hated the opening scene.

I’m not fond of alien spider clowns.
This is like comparing the first nightmare on elm street 1984 to the 2010 one… i just think the first ones are always better
Oh the first one in 2017 was ok but the newest one when they are adults sucked reaaaallllly bad
What I didn’t like about the original is that the clown was wayyyy too goofy. I read the book, and the newer penny wise was perfect.
I thought the whole body of work is dumb but the old one was experienced by me as a kid birn 84 so 6 or 8 years old just scared nit knowing whats going on. Thats better
You didn’t like the book?
I didnt read the whole book. King’s writing is not English literature.
I can’t believe someone doesn’t like this book! Lol
What didn’t you like about it?
