Poor Georgie (Spoiler)

Absolutely. It is gut-wrenching when Georgie gets mauled by Pennywise. You know what’s coming in that scene (well, a lot of people do), but when it does happen it is no less shocking.

And the scene where “he” and Bill meet again in the sewer is as sad as it gets. The relationship the two had was really heartfelt.

I HATE seeing kids in peril. Nevertheless I use the rational side of me to say it is only a movie.
I am not going to say that it is easy for me to watch certain scenes.
I am the kind of person who could never stand by and watch a child be harmed in real life. Hopefully all of us feel this way. Sadly I have seen remarks here that make me wonder if some of the people here have any feelings at all.
I feel that teen bullies are old enough to make choices as to who and how they wish to be. Death is probably a bit extreme but I dont see them the same way I see young defenseless and innocent children. Georgie was a sweet innocent kid who wouldn't harm anyone. The last thing I want to see is a young kid die in such a gruesome way.
Movies like this will never desensitize me toward such violence. Nevertheless I understood the plot when I went to see the movie. Fortunately in real life you will never find a town with the level of indifference that you see in the movie.

If you have kids, the horror of "It" rises to a whole new level.

Georgie, having his arm ripped off, trying to crawl away from the sewer... man, that was awful!

Yeah it was a brutal scene .. hard to watch and when they meet later , its pretty darn sad :(

Such a brutal scene, little Georgie didn't deserve that. He was a cute kid. :/

Whilst it was unpleasant the fact it was done by an evil clown monster made it less so - more fantastical and less believable if you will.

For me, the more realistic scene with the bullies cutting into helpless Bens stomach made me feel much more uncomfortable.
