I have been a fan of anything Goosebumps: from the books to the 90's tv series. I am so happy to have passed that fandom down to my child. We were both fans of the first one, and was overly excited to go see this one. Taking my (5yr old) daughter to see this film was enjoyable; and even though it is labeled as a family movie, we both found ourselves spooked at times. It had some good spooky moments that made for a fun thrill. The movie is fun, and recommendable to anyone.
My problems with this movie: at times the movie seemed flat. A few scenes that were meant to be comical fell short, with only a few chuckles at best. Some of the lines felt dry and occasionally forced. I felt that too much was focused on the cgi (which was amazing) and not enough on writing.
The acting choices were great, but the characters seemed uncomfortable in their roles. Jeremy Ray Taylor was incredible in 'It', yet he sort of felt like he was pained to keep his role. Jack Black was not shown until the last few minutes of the movie, and it was very rushed.
That being said, I thought the movie was very good. I do recommend this movie for a good family time. Enjoyable and fun.
