    harmless and fairly entertaining family adventure. they should have done more with the house and less with the fairly silly plot but overall a decent watch for family movie night.

    I actually liked this movie a lot. Fun adaption of the ride.

    Not like the ride. Eddie Murphy made it funny, not scary. Lots of great ghostly CGI effects. Terence Stamp played a wonderful master-ghost. They needed to cram more references from the actual ride into this movie. It seemed over-inhabited; I always thought it should be more aband...( read more)oned. Madam Leota (the head inside the crystal ball) should stick to seances instead of flying all over the place. Nice opening credits however. Disney probably whipped this one up in response to the success of Pirates of the Carribean movie, but I think it was being produced at the same time. An ultimate Haunted Mansion movie still needs to be made, not this silly comedy.

    For young children this is definately an exciting, magical and 'haunted' movie, although if you were looking at it with a critical eye, it is a very dissapointing movie, with bad acting particularly on Eddie Murphy's part.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The problem here isn't so much the pace as the too-predictable story and the general lack of energy; director Rob Minkoff can't seem to light a fire under his cast. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Haunted Mansion won't much entertain older family members, but it might be fun for kids and seems headed for a long run on home video. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

An efficient, reasonably enjoyable factory product that should scare a 9-year-old just enough and be gone from his or her memory by dinnertime. full review
