Meanwhile the Pennywise in the 2017 version seems more demonic and very aggressive in a way instead of being like a killer clown. I think that was the way the director wanted Pennywise to be instead of how he was in the the 1990 version. I think both Bill Skarsgard and Tim Curry did an fantastic job at their roles.

The 1990 version, especially part 1 was just wildly superior. The child actors at the time brought so much to those parts and killed it. Also, the whole point of why pennywise was scary in the original is that he just looked like a regular clown, not a weird demon, water head clown, which in essence made it more terrifying.

2020年11月29日 · Tim currys pennywise is closer to the basic primal fear aspect which made the book so relevant in its themes. 2017 pennywise for me is a deeper and more complex dive into the psychology of horror. Both frightening.

2021年11月10日 · Both iterations of Pennywise are going against each other. Not comparing which version is better, but which version would win in a fight. Both are allowed to use any feat at their disposal (true form/spider form, deadlights, etc…), win by death. Who wins?

Neither have prior knowledge of each other and are in character Pennywise only have feats from the 1990 mini series/movie, so things from the book and the new films won't count.

2021年12月14日 · But as far as Pennywise I thought the original was scarier because he was able to show this "normal" side and then turn demented. You can kinda understand why Georgie would approach Tim Curry's Pennywise but with the movie Pennywise he just always exuded evil. I feel like that contrast made the miniseries Pennywise ultimately more scary.

But how can I forget fridge scene, guy sucked into a pipe scene, pennywise's final speech or giant creepy spider from the original. And of course thanks to Tim Curry, all pennywise scenes are creepy. Because it was practical which made it look realistic. 1990 version actually felt like there was no hope to defeat It.

2021年1月12日 · The bullies throw Mellon off a bridge and IT, in the form of Pennywise, attacks and kills him. 1985: It is finally defeated and physically killed in another Ritual of Chüd by the adult Bill, Richie, Beverly, Eddie, and Ben. In the 1990 adaptation, events occur slightly later, with Georgie's disappearance occurring in 1960 and ITs death in 1990.

2020年12月20日 · Pennywise. Prefers the form of Pennywise, the dancing clown. Bites Georgie’s arm off and kills him. Later we learn that his arm was torn off like “a wing off a fly”. The clown form has been around for hundreds of years at least. Kills a little girl in the laundry line. Snuck up on and placed a balloon near Mike without him noticing ...

2017年10月7日 · The acting was great and especially Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise as he captured the book character to a T. At any rate I know people will still like the mini series based on nostalgia and I say the more power to them. But at the end of the day the 2017 movie surpasses the 1990 mini series in every way.
