I don't have a real problem with the casting, but this is a case where I know the source material pretty well, and the film that we have here is such a lessening of it. <br /><br />It's not that the film leaves things out (of course it does--the book is huge) but that it rewrites the characters so much, and so much of what changes is the real depth and humanity of those characters. It's well shot. It's well acted. But it's such a parody of those characters that I found it unpleasant.<br /><br />I still say the best way to do this is a 10-part miniseries. Or a two-season miniseries, with 10 episodes in each. The original work really is that epic.

I just wished they hadn't carried so many inconsistencies over from the novel. Normally I don't advocate for changing stuff from the book when a story is turned into a movie, but everything that doesn't make sense in It Chapter 2 was taken straight from the source material.
