    The ending sucked! I hated the alien. It was like they got to the end and couldn't figure what to do. The book was mucho better!

    I thought the movie was awful. I thought Kurtz was not nearly insane enough and Duddits as an alien you have got to be kidding. I thought the movie of It was great.

    I think the movie totally sucked..i remember being really excited to see it and it was such a disappointment..nothing like the book whatsoever in my opinion.
    I cant believe you have an SK class, that is so cool, hopefully it will encourage you to read more of his works and appreciate that his written word is ALWAYS better than anything you can watch on the big screen

    I liked the book but was disappointed by the movie. I don't think the movie sucked, but I think it could have been better.

    Yes, I've noticed some major differences between the book & the movie. It seems that every time someone tries to make a Stephen King book into a movie, they always drastically change the story around! Very disturbing!

    I am excited to watch the movie. Just finished the book. But what is this about them turning poor Duddits into an alien at the end . Pretty sure that is going to upset me when I see it. Really love the characters in this book. It was cool reading it directly following It because of the few connections there are.

    I liked both. How lame a post is that?

    I agree! I loved the book and hated the movie. The movie may not have been that bad but compared to the book I couldnt believe it and cant bring myself to watch it again.

    I saw the movie first, and prior to becoming an sK fan. I considered it mediocre. The book is far superior, and helps one enjoy the movie, which I've seen again since, more, IMO.
