Growing up I always loved the old Haunted Mansion movie with Eddie Murphy. It was always so fun to watch around Halloween with my family. When I got older and learned more about the ride that it was meant to be inspired from, I learned that not everyone had good feelings about the movie. This new movie, I think, would make any fan of the ride and those casual fans happy. Before seeing the movie I heard some people saying that they didn’t think there was any plot to this new adaptation. I’d have to disagree. In my opinion there was a very clear plot with a beginning, middle, and end where the characters grew along the way. While I admit that some scenes didn’t make sense or seem to influence the plot much, overall there was more progress than dead space. The cast were all lovable and did wonderful jobs bringing their character to life. Another thing I really enjoyed was all the effects and costumes used to bring all 999 haunts to life. Overall, I think this movie was very good and was a fun adaptation to the ride so many people around the world love.
