Have you see the hit tv show from the 90s? This movie is an adaptation of the GOOSEBUMPS book series.
GOOSEBUMPS is about a teenager name ZACK that just moved to a new house in Madison. He becomes friends with the girl from next door and her creepy and overprotective father, RL, the creator of all of the goosebumps books. One day, ZACK opens one of RL's books that leads to the Invasion of Monsters.
In my opinion, I thought since I saw the trailer of GOOSEBUMPS, I thought they were ripping off JUMANJI . As soon I saw the movie I thought it was entertaining but is scary at the same time.
Lets talk about the good things in the movie. The plot is very similar to JUMANJI which is a great movie. I liked the Idea of Sony Pictures mixing it up with live action and animation in one movie. Jack Black plays the role of RL. I thought he was great . He's says "you stay away from me and my house and you won't have a problem." I thought that was creepy and funny at the same time. The best thing about GOOSEBUMPS is SLAPPY the Dummy. He is my favorite villain because he is scary but hilarious at the same time. He stole every scene that he is in.
If I had one problem with the movie it has to be that I wish the writers might put in more jokes. The few jokes that were in it were ok but I would have liked more.
I give it a 9 out of 10 because like JUMANJI , it is a movie about monsters coming out of the books and into the real world . I thought it was great entertainment. If you read the books and saw the show from the 90s you will enjoy it.
IF you like the books and the tv show, GOOSEBUMPS is definitely worth seeing this Halloween!
