I really enjoyed the first one but more as a movie in general rather than as a horror movie. I agree with everyone saying that it had a Stranger Things vibe, really playing on the nostalgia feeling.
Apart from jump scares, what I found scary was the look that Pennywise has in the first scene with Georgie in the drain. He was talking about popcorn and the circus and then his face changes suddenly to something really predatory and hungry.
In IT 2, the whole section where the Losers each had to find an artifact for the ritual meant that we always knew that Pennywise was going to turn up and do a scare and then go away again. Still fun to watch, I thought, but a bit predictable.
