The acting and story are pretty standard and this one is a great example of a film that takes literally zero risks. However, the film remains cute and entertaining, plus the special effects are very cool. Plus, as someone who loved the Goosebumps books, it was cool to see the monsters I read about come to life on the big screen. Finally, the lore behind their existence and all that is pretty interesting and compelling, so points for that. Overall, Goosebumps will entertain, but certainly not wow at any moment. It is a children's film through and through.… Expand

Though we do team up some of the cutest teens in a tweenish flick and the comedy of Jack Black, this type of plotline feels all too familiar, like if you crossed Jumanji with Hocus Pocus.

To begin with ,I'd like to say that this movie is funny enough,in some places scary a bit and you're getting into this with smile.

But the movie itself is suffered from some flaws.Well,I want to recount some pros and cons. Pros: +goodTo begin with ,I'd like to say that this movie is funny enough,in some places scary a bit and you're getting into this with smile.

But the movie itself is suffered from some flaws.Well,I want to recount some pros and cons.

Pros:
+good acting
+good actors
+parent-child relationships
+the trailer
+the twist

I was surprised by Jack Black.He's a very strange actor for me but in this film he did a great job.

I don't know whether you'll agree with me or not but I saw here relationships between parents and children.I'm sure everyone's experienced and undergone such situations.I couldn't keep laughing when I saw the first acquaintance between the father of this girl and the boy.Haha,that's well done.

In addition,the most important thing of any movies is to attract your attention to it and it did.

There was the perfect twist.Guys,I was shocked when I knew the girl had been unreal and written by his real father .

Cons:
-plot holes
-some scenes are ridiculous
-unreal love story
-poor plot and script
-undeveloped villain
-a cut -and-dried out ending

The writer says:"I've sold 400.000.000 books.How could he sell these books if they were magic ,locked and written by "a soul machine"?May be the others had been written owing to some outdated PCs?If he'd sold such ones,would all human beings have been in danger!...All HUMAN BEINGS...Where's a logic and sense?

Guys,gnawing of wolves,fast and furious love,hollow shops special for you and you're not explained why Stine did create his daughter ...Why?Why is she dead?Where's his wife?

But all-in-all,I can say that I'm not in love with it but I do like it and despite some flaws ,I do recommend it with popcorn and Coca Cola in the theater.… Expand

I thought this was going to look a bit stupid from the start. I was corrected wrong, but not the greatest thing you guys can ever see from any Goosebumps installment.

Enjoyable and entertaining for sure. But Goosebumps misses what pleased me the most about Stine's stories: the fear. This film isn't scary, maybe in a few scenes in which Slappy appear because of his dark sense of humour. Putting all monstersEnjoyable and entertaining for sure. But Goosebumps misses what pleased me the most about Stine's stories: the fear. This film isn't scary, maybe in a few scenes in which Slappy appear because of his dark sense of humour. Putting all monsters in just one script, besides all cliché characters, without any kind of real development didn't do well to the final result (we also have a few holes in the story). The comedy isn't bad but the excess of it jeopardized the terrror from the books. Goosebumps is funny, can't deny it. But it could have been much more than it was.… Expand

There seems to be a lot of talk about how this film isn't nearly as bad as it should have been.

And while that may be true, in the sincerest way possible whilst residing in the cynical franchise driven Hollywood big-budget culture, it's also kind of like saying that getting punched in the chest isn't as bad as you thought--it could have been your face. How about not getting punched at all? This isn't a very good film. It's fine, has its fleeting moments. The 3D isn't even well utilized.… Expand
