Review of Haunted Mansion (2023) by Jluis_001 — 28 Jul 2023

The trailers piqued my curiosity more than my initial interest and skepticism, and encouraged me to give it a chance, especially because of the impressive cast. However, it has been proven on multiple occasions that even with a good group of actors, if you don't have skilled screenwriters and directors to bring to life this kind of material, which doesn't really have stories to tell, then failure is the only possible outcome.

Twenty years after the debacle starring Eddie Murphy, Disney is once again attempting to market a movie based on this attraction, only to face failure once more.

This Haunted Mansion may give off a different vibe, but at its core, it's just another mediocre attempt at a CGI spectacle, devoid of any substance. It's evident that the movie was created solely to boost Disneyland ticket sales, as it falls short in delivering genuine fun and entertainment, offering nothing more than a few scattered crumbs of enjoyment.
