Lush production design and sparkling special effects make The Haunted Mansion pretty to look at. Terence Stamp (The Limey), as a malevolent ghost of a butler, provides a suitable air of menace as dematerializes to and fro. Marsha Thomason (Black Knight) is lovely as a real estate agent hired to sell a haunted mansion, but in truth the ghostly owner of the mansion believes she is the reincarnation of his lost love. Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with Andre) and Dina Waters (Six Feet Under) make a modestly amusing comic pair as a ghostly husband and wife who bustle about. Jennifer Tilly (Bound), as a green disembodied head in a crystal ball, glitters appropriately. The movie also features endless clichés, futile attempts at humor, and Eddie Murphy. If you're looking for a movie based on a Disneyland ride, try the very clever Pirates of the Caribbean instead. --Bret Fetzer

Summary: Good Clean Halloween Fun
Comment: Walt Disney's THE HAUNTED MANSION starring Eddie Murphy (Jim Evers) is a fun filled and hilarious film that may not scare adults but most definitely young children. The film brings the Disney amusement ride to life in this action packed and entertaining film that contains screams from the characters and ghost-like figures waltzing in a ballroom. But amidst the scary scenes in the graveyard and in the mansion and the ominous presence of the butler, Ramsley (Terrence Stamp), there are also barrel full of laughs scenes that show a barbershop quartet of statue heads singing during the middle of the film and at the end where the Evers family drive into the sunrise as well as the appearance of the ghost couple, Emma (Dina Walters) and Ezra (Wallace Shawn).
The film may appeal to Disney viewers because of its cross between Beauty and the Beast and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. And will be a nice addition to any Halloween movie collection.

Summary: Good purchase..., lots of fun
Comment: Nice movie..., my wife and kid love it...!. They like to see it on the Disney Channel everytime they show it..., not anymore. Now they can see it as many times as they want...!. It is like the video Thriller from M. Jackson, but with a lot more production (and of course longer), and equally great...!.

Summary: DO NOT ENTER.
Comment: I find it hard to believe a child would be entertained by this. It has alot of adult dialogue and spends alot of time focusing on Eddie Murphy and all that real estate drama. I guess Eddie Murphy wants to look like a cartoon now, his hair has to be just so, like they get out a measuring tape to measure the precise angles and shape, oh whatever. And how much make-up does he need? It's like watching a synthetic robot. "Haunted Mansion" attempts to be funny, I think I laughed twice. I wish they would have totally went a different direction with the plot. Drop Eddie Murphy and his entire family (in my oppinion he was miscast) and focus more on the haunted mansion. The special effects were the most fun parts of the movie, anything would have been better than watching Eddie Murphy interact with his fake family. The ending had a religious twist that was both inappropriate and surreal. All the ghosts go to heaven! It seemed bizarre for a movie like this to end so campy and weird. I liked the parts with Jennifer Tilly as Leona, but it wasn't enough to carry the whole movie.

Summary: Lighten Up!
Comment: {This review is part of my 31 days of Holloween series.]
Some of you reviewer guys out there should lighten up a little, already. This movie's for the kids & would make a great Halloween treat and/or Xmas stocking stuffer.
I really enjoyed the film. It featured nice, even refreshing, kids (who weren't obnoxious acting L.A. brats), a beautiful Mom, veteran actors Terence Stamp & BBC's Nathaniel Parker ("Inspector Lynly"), whose rather cold good looks fit the "Ghostly Master's" role perfectly.
I must be the only person in the USA who's I never seen Eddie Murphy's prior work. Apparently he's had something of a checkered career--but this movie has suggested I might have been missing something. I liked the positive, multi-racial orientation of the film, the lack of graphic violence & "F" words--and just over all good, kid & family friendly feeling of this fun movie.
