I agree, I found it too long and boring. Very good effects and a few jump scares but not much else. Some good performances from the character playing the pennywise character and the red haired girl, but not much else going for it.
I never liked the mini-series from the 90s either starring Richard Thomas (john-boy Walton in the waltons).

Is Henry Bowers, twisted and deranged like he is in the book ?
The miniseries was good but great.
