Come on! It's one of the most predictable movies I've seen. 95% of the story is predictable. The other 5 isn't just because you think it can't be that predictable. I've looked at my watch every 20-ish minutes, and wondered "what next" only because it was still long way to go (I knew how long the movie is) and I just couldn't believe it's gonna be that simple.

"It" wants revenge, he wants revenge. "It" is the last of it's kind, he lost his family - "It" killed them. "It" strong, he weak. "It" has a baby (remember Godzilla?), he meets and likes an orphan kid. Their weapon is not good enough, he thinks of better one. She is dead. Oh, no, wait, she isn't... Helloooo??

The only original idea is that he brought "it". I guess my high expectations were due to relatively high ratings here on IMDb (6.8 at the time). I can give it only 4, and even that is just because it's technically and visually good. To that, I'll add decent cast and actors' performance, but that's it.
