Don't Believe the Hype

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Especially with Slappy. Got me goosebumps when he first appeared, seriously.

If you were a 90s kid like me well you'd probably have seen the TV show goosebumps. This show used to terrify me as a kid as I found the haunted mask and the dummy episodes scared me so much. Tim Burton wanted to do a film on the show but he turned it down and fast forward to 2015 and Rob Letterman directed a film on the show. Dylan Minnette plays Zach Cooper who moved into a new town along with his widowed mother.Zach notices a strange mam living next door with his daughter and Zach suspects that his a sociopath. Turns out the man is R. L Stine the author of goosebumps played by Jack Black.But when Zach and his school friend Champ sneak into R. L Stines house and accidentally summons a monster off one of R.L Stines books. This also has the evil dummy Slappy also voiced by black who escapes out of the book and summons all the monsters. But will R. L Stine and the gang be able to summon all the monsters back. Overall I thought this film was decent. Jack Black was great in this and the visuals were good. Just think of Jumamji meets Inkheart and you get this flick. The CGI was not too bad either. Too bad all the charcthers weren't in it e.g haunted mask. Good.

A teenager teams up with the daughter of young adult horror author R. L. Stine (Jack Black) after the writer's imaginary demons are set free on the town of Madison, Delaware.Let us be perfectly frank about this film, and the fact it is not quite a perfect movie. The biggest problem, by far, is the use of CGI. The Abominable Snowman is a bit rough, and the Werewolf is absolutely horrible. Why they chose to draw a werewolf rather than put a guy in a suit is beyond me, but it is the biggest mistake.That being said, the film is an excellent love letter to R. L. Stine. He was never my favorite, but I did read a couple of his books, and I am sure many of my generation read quite a few. Somebody bought those 400 million copies... although geared towards teenagers or young adults, I almost feel like people aged 30-35 might appreciate the movie more, or at least in a different way.

goosebumps is just awful, takes after the episodes all in one movie. which is 1 hour 39 mins, Jack blacks worst movie is this and only this. when I watched the trailer I thought i give it a try I never judged the trailer like some people do. I don't like gossebumps because all the monster's in it teaming up just didn't make it very good they were better on their own. The story was not good just not interesting. Then again, the monster's were good and the stunts were good. I'm reviewing this movie because I tried myself on it and did not enjoy it at all. goosebumps is also supposed to be creepy and some scary scenes, they were no scary scenes and creepy scenes at all.The dummy doll slappy was the leader of it all it should not of been this way the monster's were already terroising the town but I do understand why slappy was the leader. The movie was a comedy I didn't laugh at all the sense the humuor was not funny.finally, gosebumps was awful I'm not gonna say I recommend or don't recommend this movie I just hope this review dose help I mean people have give this good and bad reviews.
