However, the more human side was left out of the trailers and is part of what made it great. Maybe you will find something to love in the relationships in the Losers Clubs. The kids were wonderful.
Of course, that's the crux of the story -- it's what elevates the book. If they got that in the film, I'll probably like it.
What I didn't like about the trailers was how Pennywise was given the Modern Horror Movie Treatment™ -- very fangy and monstery -- whereas in the book there was a strong undercurrent of sick humor to ole Bob that I liked. I know that sort of thing doesn't transfer well to trailers, but the story's strong enough that I'll keep my wait-and-see outlook and hope for the best.
