Haunted Mansion (2023)

Haunted Mansion (2023). 2h 2m | PG-13

“I was surprised to see that Disneyu0026#39;s Haunted Mansion is rated PG-13. I thought maybe theyu0026#39;re trying to make a new Pirates of the Caribbean, a series I love (mostly). So I gave it a chance. That was a mistake.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is not funny. It made me laugh about 4 times. This movie is not scary. I never felt creeped out. I never jumped at any of the numerous poor jump-scare attempts, even in Dolby Cinema where the speakers shake the auditorium. Very little works and there are some extra-cheesy moments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a shame, this could have been fun. I like most of the cast. LaKeith Stanfield gives a great performance. There are a few cool scenes and visuals. But I just didnu0026#39;t care. I was not at all invested in the story or characters. And I just wanted it to be over.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMaybe itu0026#39;s just me. My crowd applauded when it finished. I can see children liking this, maybe something a family can watch together. I personally wouldnu0026#39;t recommend this to anyone. Just watch Pirates again instead.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(1 viewing, early fan screening Dolby Cinema 7/26/2023)”
