| User ReviewMoni KAlthough it was like a mix of many many movies (I would even say Saw series too- suprisingly) I did enjoy it. You have to remember that this is a movie adaptation of a classic book for children. Considering that the story stay original to me. It was very interesting and touching, especially ending. I didn't mind that it was predictable at the same time. I like how IT was created, as funny but kind sand fairy. Plus, Zoe Wanamaker gave another brilliant movie performance and shouldn't be only known as tv show actress. |
