Was the original it any good?

Not as good as the new one.

>>87169670
This. Anyone who praises it watched it as a kid. Tim saved that shitfest.

>>87169738
Should I watch it?

>>87169650
It was good for it's time. You couldn't get away with as much shit on television as you can now.

>>87169650
No, its a shitty TV movie with bad acting.
I can see it being decent-ish for what it was when it came out, but watching it after Ive read the book as a kid was really disappointing

>>87169650
No and it was set up to be shit

Mini series means it's going to have a small budget and less gore (and orgy)

I have a friend who saw an advanced screening of the new movie, and he is obsessed with horror movies and says it's one of, if not the best horror movie of all time

>>87169650
It was terrible apart from Tim Curry. The acting is abhorrent.

>>87169670
tim curry wasn't good in any role

>>87169650
Not really but it has a following because of muh childhood

>>87169650
Yeah it's good because of Curry as soon as he enters the picture the movie becomes a completely different movie and goes back to being shit without him

As far as a adaptation of a Stephen King work goes, its fantastic. Its just the source material is so shit, so theres not much you can do - a turd can only be polished so much.

If you liked the other Steven King miniseries than it won't really dissapoint

>>87169650
It was a shit movie based on an even shittier book. It never had a chance.

>>87169650
the half with the kids was good

Go back to rehab, Kevin

It was pretty comfy tbph

How can you faithfully adapt a book that involves underage underground sex orgies to film?

>>87169991
Fuck off shill

>>87169991
oh shut the fuck up

It was fucking shit even Curry, and the only reason /tv/ praises it is because the new IT movie looks great and it's about to be a smashing hit. We call that the Prequels Cuck Syndrome

>>87171422
/tv/ ever praised it, newfaggot.

I've never seen so from a completely unbiased standpoint Curry seems to be the saving grace of the original, but the new Pennywise looks like shit.
