Yes, the ending of IT was kinda lame.  They left out the Turtle completely 
(remember, the creature that created the universe one day when it had a belly 
ache ), didn't cover ALL of the children's past (well, it was "made for 
TV", so *some* of it had to be left out ), and didn't explain the "dead 
lights" like the book did.  It also didn't cover the town's history as well 
as the book did (listing all the tragedies that occurred in the town).
But all in all, it was a good movie.  One of the first my daughter really 
liked.  Now, if I can just get her to read the book. ;)
