Critics Consensus

Though hampered by an uneven second half, It supplies a wealth of funhouse thrills and an idelible turn from Tim Curry as Pennywise.

John J. O'Connor New York Times The result, featuring a strong cast, is far better than any adaptation so far of a King book. Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times There is something very poignant and warming about these kids, branded as losers, closely bonding and banding together in "It" to battle not only the town bullies, but also the demonic Pennywise. Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune The four-hour package makes an eerie supernatural tale, spiced with substantial good-versus-evil subtext and musings on the power of friendship. Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying A story of fighting our personal fears and the enduring power of friendship, It is more than just a scary story, it's a vestibule into our psyche, and maybe, a little, into our hearts. Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The thrills are psychological rather than visually graphic, while the production value is limited. Rated: 4/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Michael Hill Baltimore Sun This is a good, at times brilliant, always solid and well-done example of the horror/suspense genre. But be forewarned, the superb setup is better than the slightly disappointing payoff. Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Alejandra C Its an old movie so dont expect cgi to be at its best but the story is so well executed and you can clearly see that its a book because he tries to grasp the essence of what is, a big book. Great story Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review PUR3 G Pretty good but not as good as the films and I can't wait for the new TV show Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Filipe R Adorei!!! Foi uma experiência do medo extraordinária e uma muito boa adaptação de It aos cinemas, sem dúvida de que adorei o filme (tanto como adorei o livro). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review THE NASHVILLE I Although it may seem a bit hokey to some through it's TV miniseries lens of the 90s, rest assured the perfect direction and casting completely washes any concerns away. Honestly it's astounding how good IT was given it's complete lack of CGI and a-list stars. It goes to show how great (and scary) something can be when you have an amazing actor like Curry to nail the layers of the villain, and a director who understandings highlighting emotional depth so that you don't just look at this as a horror movie, alone. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Alexander T. Why is this movie so amazing? It is perfect in every way. I couldn’t recommend this more.
