For a movie that is marketing itself as a horror-comedy, I don’t feel like it did a good job in either camp.

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. It’s almost like the movie couldn’t decide if it wanted to be for kids or for adults, so it decided to try and go down the middle.… Expand

Extremely long and not that funny or scary. The way they incorporate parts of the ride into the narrative was cool, but the story is very boring and flat. You couldn't care any less about most of the characters. Also, worst villain ever.Extremely long and not that funny or scary.

Nevertheless, I think many families at least will have a decent time watching this.… Expand

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

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.

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

Suspenda todo o refinamento cinematográfico e você certamente irá se divertir com um filme completamente despretensioso e, por incrível que pareça, com uma premissa bem amarrada ao expor motivações, guardadas as devidas proporções,Suspenda todo o refinamento cinematográfico e você certamente irá se divertir com um filme completamente despretensioso e, por incrível que pareça, com uma premissa bem amarrada ao expor motivações, guardadas as devidas proporções, coerentes.
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
