Now, I have a confession to make: while I love movies and theme parks, and The Haunted Mansion (in both its Disneyland and Walt Disney World iterations) is one of my all-time favorite theme park rides, up until very recently I never watched The Haunted Mansion movie.
But last week I rectified that situation, and I discovered something fairly surprising, which is that The Haunted Mansion is actually good.
If I was writing the review here on CinemaBlend for the movie right now I’d give it a solid 3.5 stars.
I’d heard it was bad, and as I didn’t want to watch a bad movie based on a beloved ride, I just skipped it up.
