Reviews

Anish Misra Goosebumps is a film directed by Rob Letterman. back in 2015, when I watched the film I liked it. It made me remember the Goosebumps series that I had watched back in the 90's. So I decided to watch it again in order to write it a review. I again felt the same.Plot: RL Stine teams up with a group of tenagers to stop his monsters from creating havoc in the town of Madison.Story and direction: I haven't read the Gossebumps books, but still I can say that this was an enjoyable film. The comedy was spot on. I chucked on most of the jokes that were cracked. Also most of the characters were quite likable> we get to see the kinds of similarities that both Rl Stine and Zach face. LAos dealt with quite greatly is the mother-son dynamic between Zach and his mother. I hope that aspect would have been explored more. The creatures wre quite entertaining in their own way. But sometimes while watching I felt that there was a big VFX creature being watched. The VFX was very superficial in some places that irritated me a lot. Also I felt that I didn't have so many memorable moments in the film that would make the film last long in my mind. Performances: Jack Black once again stole the show for me. He nailed it as R L Stine. HIs voice work as Slappy and the Invisible Boy were on point. Dylan Minette was great too. Same can be said for Odeya Rush and Ryan Lee. Why was Jillian Bell taken also is not yet understood by me. Both the actors who portrayed police officers were also OK. I hoped that Amy Ryan get more screen time. It was good to see RL Stine (the original Goosebumps author) get a screen time.Favorite Scene: It would be the scene depicting the small conversation between Zach and R L Stine to depict how similar they are. That scene touched me a bit.Verdict: Goosebumps is a very enjoyable film. Don't keep any expectations while watching the film. Keep a free mind while watching this venture, you will surely be entertained by it.I am going with a 7.5/10.

mb1456 This movie surpassed my expectation since I didn't feel much buzz when I viewed the trailer. What ticks for the movie is it's lots of fun especially when the monsters are released from the writer's book. These creatures and their antics can easily engross children's attention without scaring them away. But at the same time, it isn't boring either and adults can get hooked too. Jack Black as the mysterious writer Stine holds the film together very well and he has a certain charisma too that gives the movie its success. Dylan Minnette is good as the neighbor kid Zach who befriend's Stine's daughter. And Israeli actor Odeya Rush as the daughter Hannah is very pretty and expressive too. This isn't some great thriller or action adventure and I felt the presence of too many monsters or figures wasn't really necessary & distracts. Yet, Goosebumps keeps you & your family entertained with the fairy tale like story and the humor. Verdict - a nice movie to rent out for the kids.

jacobjohntaylor1 This not a blood movie. But it is a very scary movie. And it has great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scarier then The silences of the lambs could ever be. 6.3 is a good ratting. But this such a good movie that 6.3 is underrating it. If you like to get scared see this movie. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. It is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. It is scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. See this movie. It is a great fantasy movie. It will scary you. Because it one of the scariest movies I have ever seen.

EBJ Overall: This movie is very boring and I laughed at maybe two jokes. This is a comedy. Two funny jokes in a comedy is abysmal. Some will enjoy this movie and its humour but I absolutely despised it.Good: 1. The idea is very interesting and unique and could have made a great movie. It didn't, but it could have.2. Slappy was an excellent choice for a villain3. Jack Black gave a decent performance4. Two jokes made me smile5. The CGI is decentBad:1. This movie is labelled as Comedy/Horror. The film delivers in neither. 2. The cinematography was pretty bad. I do not need 40 different angles on an SUV driving down a road.3. The characters were boring.4. Other than Jack Black, the actor didn't do it much better.5. Odeya Rush's acting was abysmal and she clearly just wanted a paycheck.6. The twist, while surprising, was stupid and I couldn't care any less. I actually checked how long was left because I just didn't care.3/10
