Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018)
Well. It's something.
The only thing i wanted from this movie, is to have fun. And i did, kinda.
This film isn't good, or even alright. It's another mediocre kids movie.
I didn't really love this movie.
It has some good moments, but those are ruined by the utter stupidity of what this movie is.
I like Jeremy Ray Taylor, he was amazing in IT, but i felt like he was weaker in this movie than he was in IT, probably because of the mediocre script.
Now there IS fun to be had here, but it is ruined by how this movie plays it safe so much.
I did like some of the monster's and how they looked (besides the CGI monstrosities). The practical monsters looked pretty good, even though they were on the screen for about a couple of seconds.
Also i didn't really hate the neighbor who was obsessed with Halloween decorations. He was fine, he moved the plot, so i'm just gonna say he was good. But the best part of this film is how FUNNY it is. What i mean by "Funny" i don't actually mean well-told jokes or good humor, i mean that this movie is fun to laugh it.
Overall, i liked the kids, the dude obsessed with halloween, how cheesy it was, and the practical monster effects. Though there WERE some bits that were absolutely hilarious and that i laughed at so unbelievably hard.
I didn't really like the script though, the dialogue is the average kids movie dialogue, also i really didn't enjoy slappy in this movie, he was just goofy, and not in the way he was in the first. Instead he's just. Bland.
