Soulless for a movie about ghosts. Filler moments everywhere, utter garbage of a film. Walked out 3/4 in. Forced myself to watch it, but it was too much. Save your money.

A good atmosphere but an uninteresting story with a lots of filler scenes, which results in a too long film that does not grab the viewer. The two hours in cinema were very, very long.

It’s just so long and scenes happen seemingly at random. I don’t hate the Eddie Murphy version, but improving on it shouldn’t have been to hard; they failed.

I didn’t find it funny enough to be considered an outright comedy, and I certainly didn’t find it scary enough to consider it a horror movie.

However, it has been proven on multiple occasions that even with a good group of actors, if you don't have skilled screenwriters and directors to bring to life this kind of material, which doesn't really have stories to tell, then failure is the only possible outcome.

Twenty years after the debacle starring Eddie Murphy, Disney is once again attempting to market a movie based on this attraction, only to face failure once more.

This Haunted Mansion may give off a different vibe, but at its core, it's just another mediocre attempt at a CGI spectacle, devoid of any substance. It's evident that the movie was created solely to boost Disneyland ticket sales, as it falls short in delivering genuine fun and entertainment, offering nothing more than a few scattered crumbs of enjoyment.… Expand

The movie has its flawss, but for a family movie (kids specially) is pretty good. I felt it a little bit too long. Great cast except for the kid. Also, the scrip is very cliche.

It could have been scarier? yes, it could have been funnier? yes.

It's just okay. It might be a little better when watching in October near Halloween. LaKeith Stanfield is by far the standout in this movie and was acting at an entirely different level than everyone else.

To be clear, there is nothing wrong with being queer or black, but being blatantly racist towards persons with white skin, and deflecting any critism with cries of being the "victim" that is "too black" or "too queer" should be condemned. Upon finishing up production in May, Disney saw what a terrible film this was for Simiens first attempt at a real movie that didn't pander to BLM/White guilt. They removed Simiens from the upcoming Lando series and replaced him with Donald Glover (another black and, well, lets say at least he's not straight) who actually has demonstrated talent in directing and writing.

TLDR: Director is a demonstrably black, crybaby racist who has already been blacklisted from Disney LOL. The irony is he was replaced by a queer black man for "his" future projects.… Expand

It's an entertaining Disney Channel Movie that should have been released on Disney +, and not really in theatres.

If there is one thing that is difficult when it comes to this movie, is balancing out comedy and Horror. Are you a Horror FilmIt's an entertaining Disney Channel Movie that should have been released on Disney +, and not really in theatres.

If there is one thing that is difficult when it comes to this movie, is balancing out comedy and Horror.

Are you a Horror Film or are you a Comedy Film? Choose 1.
It is incredibly difficult to blend these two as there are different emotions at play that you want to draw from the Audience.

Now I never watched the Eddie Murphy movie, I'll be doing that now to compare them both.

Overall this movie is really filler, it's something you would play at a Dinner house party where your friends have kids, and you need to entertain them for a bit.

It is entertaining, a bit generic at points, but I will say there are some good CGI effects going on here, but some weird choices when it comes to them. Eg. why is the reader in the Crystal Ball CGI, you'd want practicals for that.

Also another thing, this film is way too long for the storyline it was pushing, 2 Hours?! Disney are you trying to not let me Notice Red flags beforehand, usually the first thing I see is run Time.

If it's too short, Redflag. If it's 2 Hours Exactly, red flag.
If you think that just because a movie has scenes, CGI, and is long = Good movie, you are mistaken.

I summon Thee, Ratings:

CGI VFX: 8/10, Use some Practicals, and fix up the vibe(Not everything needs to be so clean).

Characters: 6/10, they are ok.

Dialogue: 6/10, De Vito Really makes his role work, but there is just too little of the good stuff in this film. (It's all Marvel Writing).

Story: 5/10, It's a basic Generic Storyline, with pretend Risks.

I think I'll give this a 6/10, it's okay but nothing special that will grab you, it tries to do 3 storylines when you really just needed 1. The characters would just start talking and I would just sit there like who gives a flying fish, move on dude.

Anyway, Don't Waste your money on going to the theatre to see this, Wait for Disney + or a Cheaper Alternative.
If your looking for a horror movie this is not it, If you're looking For a comedy, this is still not it.
Mystery? there is a little but it's bland as hell.
This is a movie you watch where you literally have nothing else to watch, you won't get anything out of this besides umm, let me think here, what was the lesson again?

Move on?, Yeah not the best Lesson to teach Kids or anyone.

Disney needs to decide who they are making films for instead of trying to appease all manner of ages. This type of thinking does not work. You Know what I'm changing the rating it's a 5/10 now.

Ok, that's all, I'll go and watch the one with Eddi Murphy.… Expand

It offers solid chuckle-worthy humor throughout with the occasional belly laugh; a good level of spooks, which are fun to behold but safe for the family; and a great cast who bring dedication to their parts, no matter how silly. The art direction is fantastic, the editing is swift, and the score offers many creative uses of the ride theme. Most importantly the filmmakers have captured the vibe of the ride, which is all a fan could ask for. That they manage to do it so stylishly in a way that doesn’t make eyes roll is miraculous.

The negatives of the movie are that it doesn’t start out great and takes a bit to get interesting; there are a couple too many “heart warming” scenes that throw off the pace, however necessary they may be to story payoffs; and the humor borders on cheeky at times, which doesn’t always translate to high rewatchability.

All that stands in the way of Haunted Mansion becoming a perennial holiday classic is testing its rewatchability. If these jokes are still chuckle-worthy after two or three viewings, then it could enter a rare pantheon of movies that a certain demographic of film fans are compelled to watch every year. Granted “A Christmas Story” is a holiday favorite that, were I to watch it every week, would become increasingly impotent at delivering the holiday spirit it’s called to deliver on time every year. Haunted Mansion isn’t on the same level of brilliance as the most celebrated seasonal fare but it’s nevertheless a welcome contribution to a lovable niche I call “spooky but safe.” This lives at the edge of ‘camp’ and generally includes halloween episodes of your favorite tv shows and youth oriented horror— much of it made by Disney. There is something that makes us inherently giddy about the supernatural, and when mixed with light comedy, it creates an extremely entertaining confection. This is Haunted Mansion’s mission statement and in my book, it succeeds.… Expand

I have to admit that I also really loved Eddie Murphy's version but this one was refreshingly different and I loved Ben Matthias especially. Having a character with the kind of skepticism displayed in him being the hero is both funny and refreshing to see. Owen Wilson was a great supporting actor in this movie as well and Rosario did excellently as she always does. It does not disappoint but throwing in a few great cameos and an excellently put-together storyline made it purely fun and entertaining. Our whole family really loved this one and I will definitely be recommending it to others as a new movie for families and those who like a gothic story here and there!… Expand

A casa mal assombrada a que faz alusão o filme é um espaço não apenas onde assombrações acontecem, mas que prendem o visitante a, por mais que queira sair de lá, conviver com assombrações que o atormentam. Acredito que este detalhe é essencial, pois quantas vezes não nos perguntamos o quão idiotas são os personagens por não abandonarem o perigo iminente a que estão submetidos.
Outro fator interessante é como o luto é trabalhado, pois as assombrações da casa se alimentam das dores e traumas pessoais. Assim, embora o roteiro caminhe para a diversão leve e beirando o infantil, com piadinhas bobas e uma ação juvenil, há aqui um requinte interessante sobre as nossas dores existencialistas referentes a perdas. É como se o filme dominasse o público-alvo, entregando-lhe algo palatável sim, mas conseguindo trabalhar, dentro de suas limitações, temas importantes.
Mas tirando isso, tudo é um amontoado de clichês, e a Disney também precisa rever alguns detalhes técnicos, como os efeitos que conferiam vida a fantasmas, que ficaram na maioria toscos. Também a solução final foi meio apressada, com um vilão que não inspira perigo algum e que é detido de forma fácil demais, quase há aí um anti-clímax.
Além do clichê romântico ao final, o filme também poderia explorar um pouquinho mais o drama, acredito que lhe cairia bem, mas faz a opção mesmo pela comédia e aí ao término o clima de confraternização e de bem estar toma conta da dela.
Não é, portanto, um filme tão vazio quanto se supunha, nem tão marcante assim, pela história banal e superficial, mas ainda assim uma ótima opção para passar o tempo.… Expand

The movie is good for childs to overcome fears and I think this is the key point of the movie. How do we face the death with hapiness and hope. The stories and characters are stupid, and so is the life.

Bob Iger hates the fact that people are vilifying him over his 'counter offer' to the union, which was just the old offer.
