  Only one long commercial for the Disney amusement park attraction, with Murphy in the onerous stereotype of scared jiggaboo pitchman. Stamp does his best to raise the material past the bar but to no avail. A pox on Unca Walt.

• Jim C

  
  I enjoy it once and a while, but it was just never really my thing.

• Alexander D

  
  Funny at some parts, but Eddie Murphy is awful--again.

• Lucas M

  
  Terrible story, screenplay and direction made, The Haunted Mansion, is useless film. Rotten.

• Bentley L

  
  It's kind of funny but it's not scary and the plot is kinda stupid. Can't wait for Guilemro Del Toro's reboot!!!

• Kyle F

  
  It's suitably creepy with a cast of likable characters. Eddy Murphy does well as the lead,and though it shares some of the flaws that most live action Disney movies have, it has less of those flaws than might be expected.

• Richard C

  
  C+

• Dead A

  
  Nice.

• KJ P

  
  Very disappointing! I expected it to be hilarious!

• Wahida K

  
  It is not creepy, it is not funny, it is not stupid. It is Eddie Murphy Movie.

• danny d

  
  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.

• Morgan S

  
  I saw this when it first came out...i was in 3rd grade so i diddnt remeber it at all but i watched it now (6 years later)! and i found out i really liked this story line!

• Tim S

  
  Probably not the best opinion, but I enjoyed this family-friendly spook ride.

• Mike S

  What happened to Eddie Murphy's once-so-shiny career? Who or what ignited the fuse that so quickly became an explosion of mediocre movies with him on the cover? I mean, going from A-grade comedies like "Coming to America" and "Shrek", to instantly forgettable family films like this one, is no less of a tragedy than the fate of the Titanic. That isn't to say it's horrible though. In fact, it is fairly entertaining and does do its source material justice (the Disneyland attraction with the same name that is), even if it mostly serves as an example of how short Hollywood has become on original ideas.

  I can't think of a thing I like about this movie.

• Lafe F

  
  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 abandoned.… More
  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 abandoned. 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.

• Rachel F

  
  It was ok. It had some funny moments.

• Kylie B

  
  Funny enough, but I watch it for Nathaniel Parker and the house. It could've been so much better...

• Sophie B

  
  this was really good! i watched it when i was ill and it really put a smile on my face!

Which means it?s nice to look at but little else is there. Eddie Murphy, in his soul-selling kid friendly phase of his career, is a real estate salesman who can?t pass up the prospect of a mansion. Never mind it?s haunted. He brings the family along, which includes a drop-dead beautiful wife, Sara (Marsha Thomason), and two annoying kids. There?s some storyline about Sara being the one to break the curse of the mansion, something about love never dying and a mystic key which leads to a mystic chest ... I know, I?m bored already too. Despite being a mere 98 minutes ?The Haunted Mansion? has sluggish pacing and some cheesy special effects. This is the kind of movie someone has a fear only because they need a moment to overcome that fear to save others. Murphy mugs for the camera and occasionally it?s funny, but he has the expression that even he doesn?t believe he?s funny. Never good for an actor. Terrence Stamp is amusing as the butler. Jennifer Tilly is a highlight at the floating gypsy head in the crystal ball. The direction by Rob Minkoff (Stewart Little 2) is solid, and his opening sequence of the film?s back-story being played across the credits is the highlight. But what does it say when the highlight of the film is the opening titles? I don't know who this film is for. It's a bit too scary for young kids. Tweens won't want to see a "Disney scary movie" and would rather see some of the PG-13 scares, like 'The Ring'. It certainly isn't for adults. Who is this movie for Disney? And I may be the only one, especially after recent events in the news, but when all the skeletons came out of their crypts ... I thought Michael Jackson was going to come out and they?d all dance.[/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=darkred]Nate?s Grade: C[/color][/font]
