iamthechamp-62341 This movie is a great showing for both adults and kids. Its got scary, its got comedy, its got suspense. Everything you need in a family movie!!!

KineticSeoul This is basically a monsters movie with the combination of a lot of the "Goosebumps" monsters coming to life. For the most part I was entertained and if I saw this as a kid in elementary I would have loved it. Mainly because the "Goosebumps" books was really popular when I was in elementary. And a movie that combines a lot of the monsters would have been awesome. I can however still see kids having a fun time sitting through this one. Because it isn't full of trashy and overly corny dialogues that even kids would cringe at. Instead the humor for the most part works for a family film. What would have been great is if they delved more into the monsters background and how it effects the lead characters. Maybe such as if they have to go through a haunted house or had one of the characters put on The Haunted Mask which effected the group. Instead of just running around and hiding from the the "Goosebumps" monsters. I still think this is a good family flick that had potential to be really good. At least the humor for the most part hits it's mark.7/10

tiskec My review probably differs from the majority, that I am pretty sure of. So, to flat out come out with it, this movie sucked a*s. I hated it. I used to read Goosebumps as a youngster. It had all the original characters from R.L. Stines books (Slappy, Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, etc.). Although, I just wasn't feeling it. I thought the TV series Goosebumps was WAY better than this. Trying to cram children's book characters into one film's story-line just didn't work, at least not for this one in my aspect. This particular Goosebumps tells the story of a boy that moved to a new town, next to the author R.L. Stine, who apparently is trying to keep his name under wraps. He seems to be harboring all of his story book monsters in separate books he has stored in his home. He's a completely ugly hermit do to this. He has a daughter who starts getting a twinkle for the next door neighbor boy, and they sneak off together. Well, one day the boy thinks R.L. Stine is abusing his daughter, so he runs over to the next door house and sneaks in. Eventually he finds these books, knocks them off the shelf, they open, and lone and behold the Goosebumps gang of monsters begins to spill out. Well, I think they crammed way too much stuff into it, and I think all of the character's roles were rushed. I just didn't feel the Goosebumps originality from this film. It might be because I'm trying to compare it too much with the knowledge I have of Goosebumps from when I was a child. Anyway, this movie isn't so terrible. I may have been a little harsh on the rating, but that's where I stand with this one. Mainstream will think differently.

gavin6942 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.
