The Haunted Mansion (2003)

GREAT attraction-only OK film
When this was released the fall of 2003 I had great expectations because of how much I enjoyed `Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl" that was released the same year.

I was let down.

Have always loved "The Haunted Mansion" attraction at Disneyland.

Eddie Murphy doing his usual role of a smart alec, pushy guy. Did not care about his character nor the kids.

Madam Leota if you are expecting an eerie vision from the attraction you will be disappointed. Jennifer Tilly just repeated some of the lines from the attraction.

The special effects were great.

They did nothing with the characters & how much can a person take of Eddie Murphy doing the same old thing?

Stinky But Beautiful
You've got to agree...Eddie Murphy turned this film into a real mess just acting like his goofy self. The reason to get this DVD is to see the beautiful costumes, sets, and FX in hi-def. It also has an incredible score that Disney never released on CD, just one track on an album full of dumb pop numbers related to spooky things. If you could only program my PS3 to remove Eddie Murphy's figure and his dialog from the film I'd actually watch it more often, and just imagine someone else in his place.
