the majority of the people i know who have see it all say the same thing . i saw this movie when i be a kid and i be still scar and or it the best movie ever . after finally see it myself and i have to disagree . it be by far the bad book to movie adaptation i have ever see . why and oh why do they have to turn eddie into a mama boy . in the book he marry . marry . the i have never be with a woman and now i be go to die a virgin line at the end of the movie do not make sense . eddie be a great character . why do the movie have to ruin him . so many important thing be cut . what happen to the house on neibolt street and the underground clubhouse and various character that be leave out and eddie leper and or bill deal with georgie death and just to name a few . and i just have to mention the end . the spider be so fake it wasn not even funny ( okay and kind of ) . it wasn not dramatic enough either . nobody look the least bit scared . it be just and oh golly and let go down in the sewer and kill it once and for all . it wasn not turn into a climatic moment like in the book . the character act a if what they be down in the sewer be as natural a walk to the corner store and buy a loaf of bread . wouldn not most people be terrify and think and oh my god and i be go to die . this movie be terrible and do not waste your time on it . read the book and and then wait for the remake . i be hop it will be a lot good than this piece of garbage .
