I decided to punish myself and watch the new Haunted Mansion movie. I liked the ride as a kid, and I thought maybe that even if everything else sucked, the set design could make it worth a single watch.
Huge mistake.
Abysmal film. Terrible, phoned-in acting, choppy editing, bad cinematography, lazy writing, and I kid you not, the CGI is worse than the 2003 Eddie Murphy film.
But WAIT! There's more!
The villain in this film is:
- The son of a wealthy real estate developer
- has been married several times
- is extremely egotistical
- And his name? Alistair
TCRUMP
In the year of our Lord, 2023, the main antagonist of a movie is a flimsy illusion to Orange Man Bad.
I didn't even put it together until the last 40 minutes of the film.
I don't know what else I expected from the writer who brought us Ghostbusters 2016.
