August 19, 2011Only 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.

June 20, 2011Terrible story, screenplay and direction made, The Haunted Mansion, is useless film. Rotten.

August 8, 2010It's kind of funny but it's not scary and the plot is kinda stupid.
Can't wait for Guilemro Del Toro's reboot!!! -
July 30, 2010It'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.

Rob Minkoff has directed a movie that's nearly laughless and nowhere near as frightening as what's happened to Eddie Murphy's career. Full Review

More Disneyland ride than movie, short on plot and long on dazzling visuals for the kiddies.

The point of Haunted Mansion is for audiences to sit back and enjoy the ride, which is easy to do thanks to an engaging story, the striking, Gothic-inspired set by Oscar-winner John Myhre and some del... Full Review

It's perfectly palatable family fare for a long weekend when it's hard to find movies at the neighborhood 'plex that will please everyone.

Contempo Hollywood may be awash in brilliant technicians and craftspeople but it also needs good storytellers, who aren't to be found in The Haunted Mansion. Full Review

The movie's horror angle also reminds us of Vampire in Brooklyn, the last in a string of Murphy flops before The Nutty Professor saved his screen career in 1996. With this listless foray, Eddie is twi... Full Review

The story is so flimsy, could it possibly have been ghostwritten by Goofy? Full Review

Haunted Mansion won't be anybody's E-ticket ride, but it's an enjoyable movie for a very specific age range (children 8 to 12), and will be tolerable for almost everyone else. Full Review
