Sometimes, basing a movie off a ride turns out great, like Pirates of the Caribbean. And sometimes, you end up with this.But is that really a bad thing? Sure, a lot of people hated the movie, but I genuinely enjoyed it. The plot, while far from scary at any point, wasn't half bad. It was creative, and actually quite fun.And the best part? The movie was hilarious. Some of the jokes were pretty clever, but the funniest parts were unintentional. In some scenes, the CGI is absolutely atrocious. And that makes it funny. It's hard not to crack up when poorly animated minuscule tubas are orbiting Eddie Murphy.Oh yeah! Did I mention Eddie Murphy? So, this movie isn't really for everyone. The overly critical and the easily offended will not like this movie. But anybody with a good sense of humor will enjoy it, despite it's faults.

I have a personal history of hatred and contempt for this piece of crap Eddie Murphy apparently calls a movie. Once every few years this movie has come to hunt me back, twice at school and thrice on TV. Even when I was 8 I hated this, six years have passed and the situation isn't much better. The biggest flaw of this movie is its humor, which practically non- existent. Eddie Murphy just wobbled around the haunted mansion and blurts out supposedly funny. Another huge flaw is that the characters are mostly uninteresting, and when they aren't they are simply walking comedic atrocities, with unfunny jokes and annoying voices galore! However, it's not all bad. The actors playing the various roles are not bad (except for of course the big Eddie), and the sets are so delightfully corny. However, decent acting and sets is not enough to make up for a terrible screenplay and atrocious humor.In the end, I give this movie a 2 out of ten, because at least it is not Mr. Popper's penguins...another film that has haunted me from the day I saw it.

If you are looking for something to do with your day but cant think of anything, then put this film on. I can assure you that you will soon think of something better to do. This is without doubt THE worst film ever made and I have seen 'Faust'. Wallace Shawn plays the exact same character he did in 1987 in The Princess Bride with no obvious point to it. The story goes absolutely nowhere and numerous times I found myself just wandering around the house looking for something better to fulfill my hour and a half. So in summary if you feel like watching this, don't, just go stare at your hands in the corner. You will have a much more enjoyable time.

This is a very basic and plain movie, its just another stupid black comedy with Eddie Murphy. He's always in stupid kiddie movies, it's ruining his career. The Haunted Mansion isn't that great of a movie, the script and plot are very basic and predictable. The special effects were cool but they should have included a little more. One good thing about the movie is that there wasn't a lot of horror scenes.Don't bother watching this garbage, its a silly Disney movie with very little comedy and action. These "so-called" black comedies are so dirt, they suck. This is just a cheesy rip-off of kiddie craps mixed together with kiddie horror.
