 Man, man, man, I am so glad I got that over with. My name is Brennan Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion Hey, what's going on guys welcome back Thank you for tuning in to my opinion slash review for it Before I actually get into the review I just want to apologize for going so long without providing you guys with any type of video Whether that be a review reaction or whatever else I think it's been like two and a half weeks Almost three weeks and I'm gonna try my best No, I promise that I will not go that long without sharing another video with you guys But anyway back to the review. No, but not anyway. Thank you for your patience. I really do appreciate it Now moving on to the review review This is for it based off the Stephen King novel that came out way back in the day And if you've seen my previous videos, you know, I'm a scary cat and I do not do well with scary movies But at the same time when I do watch movies and talk about them I don't want to be biased and I try to cover everything So I got to cover the horse the horse of two now if you saw my reaction to the trailer that came out a couple of months ago Go ahead and check that out. There'll be a link to this link to that in the description box It's pretty funny to me after I uploaded on YouTube I will go back and watch it just a few times, you know Just to you know get a good laugh out of myself, but I'm going into this movie I was super duper scared Like terrified just like man, you know, I don't want to see this but I want to see it I had a chance to go see it Wednesday, but I passed it up Well, then I was gonna go see it Thursday night when it's released to the public, you know But I made excuses, you know because I was just scared didn't have anybody to go with but Friday today The time I'm recording this I was like, you know if it I need to go ahead and see and that's what I did Now like I said, this is based off the Stephen King novel that came out You know classic Stephen King that came out a while ago and I did not read the book And this is also like a remake of the 1990 TV series that came out in 1990 and that was like a two-part series and I didn't watch that thing all the way through I did see kind of like bits and pieces here And I do remember it being creepy as hell and part one focusing on the children in this movie While their children and the second part part two Tackling them when they're adults so going into this I did not know how they were going to you know, tell the story and you know portray the cast but I will say I was gonna say for the most part, but no for the whole movie this really does focus on The children and the first thing that I want to talk about is the very beginning of the movie because that's how it starts and From the very beginning is eerie and it's creepy and you're just like oh my gosh You know what did I get myself into and they're playing this music and it's a beautiful score You know look that up, you know that the guy that did deserves a lot of credit But it really did a great the film really did a great job of making you feel for the characters and Relate to them but not in the beginning but it just as far as you you know just feeling sorry for the characters and caring about what that care about they did that right off the bat and One thing that really gets to me is when I see pure innocence taking of that's been taking advantage of and That's exactly how this film hits you upside of the head in the very beginning to where everything is nice and pleasant And they're just taking little things like a little You know a boat that's made out of paper folded up and you know, it has a lot of sentimental value and As you know as you see the trailer in the as you see the trailer for this movie when that boat is You know going on the ground in the water from all the rain, you know, that's towards the beginning of the film and It just really just you know like really opens your eyes when that film is over you like wow, you know This is what I'm in for I was not expecting this You know the film was really pulling on your heart strings at the very beginning and then just flipped it like an hour Glasses on the other side and made everything rush down to the bottom and I'm just like that's how I felt I'm being like oh my gosh, you know, if this is how the first five minutes of the movie is starting I don't know how long I would be able to last and It's not too long the movie comes in. I think at about two hours and 12 minutes I was kind of hoping for like a 90 minute or you know an hour and a half hour and 45 minute But it comes in a little over two hours and it could have been a little bit shorter maybe 10 minutes shorter, but that's not a big deal there and The what I want to talk about the most is is just how surprised I am about the way that I feel coming out of the Movie, you know going into this like I said a thousand times that I was scared I didn't walk out of this movie scared terrified or running away I walked out entertained but for the most part I walked out Santa myself man I really have not cared about a group of characters that much and you know a very very long time I mean this movie is being marketed and sold as a horror thriller film But this is more of a drama and that makes the movie even you know much better and I mean you can have the cheap, you know Blumhouse movie That are being produced that in all the cheap stuff that comes out You know January and February at the toilet bowl season of the movie and of the movie season And those movies can be made for like three million five million no more than ten million dollars WWE or whatever the World Wrestling Federation is called today they make these cheap movies with these characters that are completely forgettable and The whole thing is predictable and that's not it at all They really did their homework this movie didn't even feel like a movie this felt just like I was witnessing Random events from these children in this town While they're going through a horrific live-action nightmare It just didn't feel like a movie usually when you're watching a horror movie. You can send yourself, you know screaming at the Screaming at the screen. Why are you doing this? Don't go there. Go this way. Don't know duck get out the way You know, why are they doing like this or and someone might say hey, well, they don't know that they're in a horror movie I didn't feel like that at all. This really didn't feel like a movie This really just felt like me just watching the watching the events of children in the summertime and You know just watching these events play out in their lives And it is just like a horrific nightmare and I cared about all of them To the tee there was not one character in this movie that I did not care for I careful And now all the characters are different. They are Multidimensional they have a lot of things going for themselves and they're also very funny too Not only this is a drama and you feel for the characters But you also laugh at all of them and you're able to relate to all of them too And I caught myself reminiscing a lot when I was in theater watching this movie Because it does take place when they're in junior high and there were just so many different Easter eggs and nuances around Just random things that were reminding me of when I was in junior high. They had to do a cat a Cast if someone broke their arm or leg and you have to sign that or into the year your books when people, you know You know get signed, you know a nice gesturing of your book And there were just so many things that reminded me of you know my childhood and I it got me smiling I mean, but I saw the horror spot when I was watching these characters Mostly boys and this one girl named Beverly engaging with each other back, you know back and forth I was sitting there smiling like, you know, oh my gosh, you know, like I feel like I went to school with these kids So, you know, it's a great drama. You care about the characters, you know, they're making you laugh It's not even jokes. They're just a bunch of funny moments and funny moments and movies are always better than jokes Jokes are like jokes are you kind of just forced in funny moments feel natural and are honest and true And there was a ton of that in the in the movie Now um Where everybody probably wants to know for the most part is this movie scary Did it scare the hell out of you? Am I gonna have have nightmares? I actually don't think I am I'm very surprised the movie was scary But it wasn't scary at the same time Because usually like I think I said this at the very beginning of this review when I'm watching a scary movie You know, usually things always happen at night time, you know It's nighttime and someone is about to go to bed and they hear the noise and then the music starts Building up and then you just you know They're creeping around a corner and then something pops out and it's a jump scare And then the scene is over with and then you're on to the next day and you can relax No, there's nothing like that because this scary ass penny wise clown It doesn't matter if it's you know, dawn morning night evening middle of the night, whatever You know, he will terrorize you everywhere and um The movie not the movie but the character penny wise the clown he's played by bill scarce guard and You know, of course, I've heard that name before you know, he's been in this and that I'm not too familiar with this work And before this movie came out one of the trailers and still images and posters and whatnot were being released There was a lot of talk or I heard it In my comment sections here and forms here and there that people were You know, not so impressed with the makeup job or just thought that his face was not You know dangerous enough and look evil enough and scary enough and Um, it looked very scary to me. Um, especially with those eyes. Um, I was nervous You know, I think I'll stay away from clowns for a while But I don't really understand why everybody is complaining. That wasn't a complaint for me Um, as you see in the trailers when penny wise is down in the sewer and kind of you know playing with the little I forgot the little boy's name with the boat and he has his rain jacket on the way his eyes You know popped up in that scene right there. It was like, you know, really chilling and said chills, you know Damn my spine was like, oh my gosh, you know, and they kind of threw in like a sound effect like he's hiding behind You know, you just see the eyes like oh Very nice intro to penny wise the clown right there because it did scare me But uh scars guard he did a great job as penny wise and early on his imagery is very innocent and childlike But then again towards the end of the film, it does turn into more sinister demonic That does uh, you know creep the hell out of you But um, I said the movie is scary and not scary like it's not jump scare. It's not jump scare scary It's it's nothing like that. Um, you know, it's coming Um and the the horror and the terror like lingers on and just builds upon itself and just you know Takes itself until the next level. So you're like, okay, when can I stop looking at this image right here? Can you please change and go to the next scene and they're just and the way they did it was very creative because You you really don't know where the line stops or starts where things start to be real and illusion I mean where where does the that line between illusion and reality is very blurry to where you don't know If it himself is crazy penny wise the characters on screen The characters are involved with or me myself And that's like that's a blessing and a curse because I did like it because I did like the Unpredictable nature of the movie But at the same time when that line is very blurry The film doesn't really set the rules of the universe up for itself too well To where you're like, you don't know what's going on You don't really know how to defeat penny wise until the very end or you really don't know his origin Like I said, it's a you know, it's it's a blessing and a praise It's a pro and a con because it does give you that curiosity And you are intrigued and wanting to know what exactly is going on But at the same time if the film ends and you don't get all those questions answered for you I don't want to say that it's frustrating because it's not that wouldn't be the right word But now that I'm thinking about it and as I was watching the movie I was asking myself I wonder when they're going to reveal this information and they really don't do it. They don't they do Leave it kind of vague but on another positive note. I do feel like there will be a sequel to this movie That will address all that if it does not I will be very disappointed Um, but I am actually looking forward to the sequel Because this had great characters and a great score. I cared about them. I was laughing about them. They had a creepy as clown that Just needed to die But at the same time, you know, I have to pull back a little bit on how great the film is Because the line between reality and illusion was just too blurred for me to where You know, I there was just too many times I was saying, okay Is this character actually in pain right now or they actually dying or is this whole thing an illusion and there was one scene in particular So I was like Okay, I don't really know what's going on because if something is a dream or reality you can you can write that off as you know You not knowing Um, because it's a dream or reality. Nobody is living or dying You know, you can just you know, I don't know if that character was imagining that or if it really became true But when things in that scene become tangible and I'll just say I don't want to spoil it for I'll just say that There was a bathroom scene one with a bunch of blood You know in this scene when things become tangible It changed the whole dynamic of the scene and it leaves me confused because I'm saying to myself, okay, I could understand if This set of characters is imagining things and this set of characters over here isn't But the when it becomes tangible and I really don't want to spoil it for you and when you see the scene You'll know what I mean when I say tangible It's like, okay Wait a minute like if if they are able to do this and actually touch and feel What is being perceived as an imagination or something like that or hallucination You know, why are they able to get why are they able to get physical with it? And then this party is and this party isn't it was only one scene, but hey, um, I have to bring it up another grab I had is I always like when characters are being you know In times of pearl and danger and you're trying to save the day and save your life or get away from safety I love smart characters and for the most part all the characters in this movie We're very smart and asking all the right questions at all the right times I mean at one point you see in the trailers There is a clown and a sewer and even if they're a little kid I mean isn't somebody going to be like What are you doing in the sewer? You know, so little things like that. I really do appreciate and you know, they were on they were on point with that in this movie but There were sometimes to where one character would do something like incredibly dumb like separate yourself from the group I'm like, why would you separate yourself from the group? You know What is going on right now? You just saw something tragic happen 10 seconds ago But you want to run away from the group But that was just one little small scene and then towards the end like I kind of like I was kind of just like why y'all not running or why y'all not participating, you know attack, etc, etc, etc, but You know, these are just small gripes um The movie, you know, I thought I was gonna be real scared and terrified and going like this and you know, oh my god But it was nothing like that and I but you know, um, I really did enjoy the movie I really do recommend it and I think everyone should see it if I had to rate It out of a 1 out of 10, I would give it an 8 out of 10. Yes in 8 out of 10 But guys, that is just my opinion Have you seen it? Do you want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me?
