A good adaptation, overall. I have to agree that splitting it into two movies was a much better choice. The kids' stuff stands on its own a lot better, and the adult stuff can build off of that.

Some of the switch arounds for the film were kind of confusing, and Bowers & his gang were criminally underused...

But overall, a very good adaptation, and I'm glad they didn't try to re-do Curry's Pennywise for the film. (Skarsgard is much, much creepier and directly menacing.)

The most directly intense scenes were Georgie's death at the beginning and obviously, the fight at the end.
