Oh, I completely agree. The original has its moments of course, but aside from Tim Curry it's kind of a mess. I'm just concerned that this new version is going to be another glossy, cookie-cutter Hollywood horror flick like the director's last movie (Mama). I'm totally in favour of a remake, but I was way more interested when it was being made by the guy behind the first season of True Detective. To be honest I'm not familiar with the kid they cast as Pennywise, but at one point Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline, Rogue One, etc) was the first choice, which would have been goddamn perfect.
We'll see how it turns out, but Mama wasn't anything special I can see this heading the same direction.
