Wow, I actually like all of these.

[webstar1000]

Bye Jo Jo... haha

[fernandito]

Dunkirk, Jojo.

[mae]

Bye Jo Jo... haha

Jojo just two votes out from tying for second.

And yes, I'm still surprised that It is going strong in Round 3.

Jojo is my favorite here. Jojo > SLP > Dunkirk > It. Liked them all though.

IT and Dunkirk are the clear favs for me.

[Randall Flagg]

I agree.

[Hunchback Jack]

I haven't seen any of these, so will have to pass.

[RUBE]

I watched Dunkirk recently so that I could know how to vote for this tournament. It was good but I was expecting more.

[webstar1000]

I haven't seen any of these, so will have to pass.

You didn't see IT?

[becca69]

Come on JoJo!

[Hunchback Jack]

You didn't see IT?

No. I sometimes steer clear of movie adaptations of books I really like, particularly if they receive mixed reviews. I haven't seen The Dark Tower, either.

Keep it that way. But It was good. Not good enough to move onto Round 4, in my view, but good.

OH yeah... see IT Pete man.. it is FANTASTIC man. Dark Tower is total TRASH. LOL

[Hunchback Jack]

Fair enough; IT's now on my list. Thanks for the recommendations, Kris and Mae.

(and the Dark Tower remains off it )

I think IT would place high on a non King website poll...that’s how good I think chapter one is. I also really enjoyed chapter 2 but have heard a bunch of people did not care for it.

IT would be VERY high on my list to. I liked 2 as well but the first one was a treasure I thought.. so WELL DONE.

I could've sworn the It remake wasn't as well liked on TDT.org. I was certainly underwhelmed. I've been saving Part II for Halloween season viewing.

[Iwritecode]

I enjoyed IT but I just don't understand why they have so much trouble translating the ending from the book to the screen. The ending for Chapter 1 was ok but the ending for Chapter 2 sucked.

Really...maybe it's because

Spoiler:

everyone has sex with Beverly - it's so problematic.

You haven't seen the second one yet? I enjoyed both well enough, but at the same time I also did have major issues with both.

Yea, that's not what I was talking about at all. That happens in the middle of the book anyway.

I was talking about the fight with Pennywise and the Ritual of Chüd. Which I understand would be extremely difficult if not impossible to translate from the book to film. But the whole fake-out of them using it and it not working at all then switching to just making him feel bad and turn really small didn't work for me at all.

No, not yet. Soon, though!
