Nothing against Tim Curry, but the book has always cried out for a committed R-rated film treatment. Curry's Pennywise was literally played like a clown. Skarsgard's portrayal looks to be a supernatural psychopath in clown makeup. That's what the book called for.
I don't know how you can make a movie out of a book with 1100+ pages without major cuts. But the trailers seem to have the one piece of the story (the kids) right even if the part with them as adults is missing.
So the answer is hell no.
Hey, it's gotta be better than the steaming pile of disappointment that was The Dark Tower, right...?
Yeah, I'm betting the sequel brings the adults in.
A lot King's books don't lend themselves to really plot-faithful adaptations.

Not unless they are miniseries, and not the tame 'made for TV' kind.
