The Goosebumps franchise as never been anything but a charming cheesy kid friendly take on the horror genre. The first film was pretty much exactly what you would want from the series but this one is tired. It is predictable beyond belief. It is missing a certain element to really make the tone of the film land.
I suspect that cutting down on Jack Black's Stine role and passing off the voice work for Slappy onto another actor is the culprit here. The new character are fine but the proceedings lack the gleeful mania that Black brings to his films. Moreover, the new Slappy voice is annoying because it sounds like a bad impression of Black instead of the trickster in the first film. In any case, this was a pleasant way to waste 90 minutes even if I have forgotten much of the details a day later.
