I've always a been a big fan of R. L Stines books from Goosebumps to Fear Street and have mostly loved most adaptions of those for all their faults and all, but this one has too many problems to count.
For one thing it's very boring. With an occasional moment of something exciting happening, the movie to often resorts to characters standing around talking and explaining. For a kids movie based on a book series with such a legacy as Goosebumps, you think they would try a little harder to entertain there target audience, but it's barely putting any effort in.
It's not really funny either. An occasional moment here and there gets a laugh, but you think with talent like Dan Aykroyd, you would get something that's at least more memorable, but half the time I forget what was even going on
I say be careful listening to the reviews giving this 9 and 10 stars. It's most likely people who worked on the movie trying to make sure it does well so that it looks good on their resume.
If you like your kids, I'd suggest just introducing them to the goosebumps tv series. Watching this just might turn them into brain dead zombies.
