An alright attempt for another Haunted Mansion movie
I can't say this movie is better than the previous movie, but the results are alright. The story is standard with a group of different characters came to this mansion and try to figure out what going on. My biggest problem with the movie is that it feels too long for a 2 hour movie. What I mean is that current scenes feel like it drags on a little bit too long and a pacing is off on how things happen pretty quickly or too long. It feel like they could easily cut some parts out of the movie and some of it feels unnecessary to the main plot and will not effect it. The characters themselves do have depth to them and some has backstories. But the acting is hit or miss for the most part. Actors like LaKeith Stanfield, Danny DeVito, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto does a pretty good job in the movie and give the characters depth in it. But some of them feel like they are trying way too hard and overact in parts of the movie.
I do like the many references of the ride that you see throughout the movie and is pretty interesting. The visual effects looks pretty good on how the ghost look and the stuff that goes on in the mansion looks pretty cool looking. I also like the villain design of the movie that looks cool and pretty memorable.
Overall, this movie is a mixed bag of positive and negative all together. - officialcallumprecious - 19 February 2024
It's not that bad!!!
I do not think that the new version of the Haunted Mansion was a bad film.
While remaining the spirits of the original theme park ride, this version of the film is very good as the original Eddie Murphy version 20 years prior.
It's not about how poor the movie was but rather a perfect classic tradition of Walt Disney motion picture entertainment for the past 100 years in movie magic.
Despite the box office flop, the film is truly one of the best Disney films of all time. No matter how much the film made at the box office, to me it is still the best Disney film for the whole family to enjoy.
