Movies and TV Shows

This was much better than the original haunted mansion. I was surprised it was actually as funny and charming as it was. The cast they chose was great and I was also surprised to see some of the audience members actually jump a little from some of the jump scares in the film. The movie did drag on a bit though as Disney tried to throw in their signature touch of making things overly emotional and squeezing a tear from the audience. Unfortunately, it completely missed and it especially missed in my showing since there was someone loudly snoring throughout the "sad" part of the film which was cracking everyone up in the audience. Older man took his grandkids and needed some rest. It's not a must see, but if you're a fan of any of the actors, the ride, or Disney in general it's worth a watch.

I went to watch this movie last weekend. I like movies but I'm not an expert or anything, and I don't have the best taste so take my opinion with a grain of salt. We went because my wife wanted to watch it.

I liked it. I have to confess that I expected less, but it was funny, it was entertaining, I think there was a jump scare that got me but overall, while it doesn't feel like a proper horror movie, the "scary" scenes don't feel silly.

I liked the characters dynamic and LaKeith Stanfield is definitely a great actor, even here where the material doesn't require too much acting, he definitely elevates the film. He's the straight man and even then, he stands out among the rest of the quirky characters.

The only moment I felt like something was missing or wasn't very well done was the scene where

I don't know if it's actually a big problem but I remember thinking about that scene while I was actually watching the movie. Just a small and maybe ridiculous complaint I wanted to get off my chest.

After the cinema my wife was really excited explaining to me the lore and the references, so I think it's a better experience if you're familiar with the ride and the previous movies, but it's still a fun movie to watch.

Oh, Haunted Mansion, you were my first Megapost and I'll never forget you ❤️ but it's time I unpin you 😢 Adieu, ma ami, adieu!

Variety: Why Didn’t Disney Save ‘Haunted Mansion’ for Halloween?

From the linked article…

Whether the release date is connected, ticket sales were veering on scary as the comedic thriller debuted in third place to a lackluster $24 million. Competition was heightened as “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” remained unexpectedly strong in their sophomore outings, collecting a combined $140 million over the weekend. Of course, nobody anticipated the power of “Barbenheimer” when setting the film calendar.
