| The Haunted Mansion : 3 of 5 | |

 I knew there was no way that this third movie in Disney's "ride inspired" series could be as good as Pirates of the Caribbean, especially since Eddie Murphy has a habit of making duds, but I'm happy to say that Haunted Mansion was pretty entertaining. The best news is that the film is extremely true to the ride - nearly every room and gag makes it on screen, and everything looks fantastic. I was amazed to see the changing portraits and even the following busts, and the hallway looked exactly like the ride! The graveyard ghosts were excellent, and the hitchhiking ghosts joke was awesome! My only complaints were some weird plot situations, such as the kids seeing their mom die, and they don't even scream or look worried (at least Eddie pretends to cry). They also did a great job of working in the theme music from the ride - it's practically everywhere! If I wasn't such a big fan of the ride, I'm not sure how I would feel about the movie, but as a "tribute" to one of the best attractions ever built, it does just fine!
