I love the haunted mansion ride and was really looking forward to this movie. The trailer looked promising but I still tried to go in with tempered expectations.
To sum it up, I felt like this movie could have been so much MORE. There is such wonderful history and story with the ride that could have given so much creative opportunity that I feel was not used.
I kept waiting for some kind Of twist or realization or climax that just never came. The whole movie just feels like it was missing the magic that is the original story and ride. With so much at Disney's disposal for making this movie, I expected better. I definitely enjoyed some of the actors, Tiffany haddish in particular. But felt like the comedy was lackluster in general. I really wanted to love this movie! But sadly it does not have the makings of a modern classic.
Still worth a watch when it comes to streaming. Not much more.
