[–] CloverSi@lemmy.comfysnug.space 5 points 3 years ago (4 children) Anyone seen this one? The cast makes me interested despite the reviews. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) It was ok. It had character building that was a bit long and dull, but the good parts were really pretty good. The one thing that did strike me as weird was it couldn't decide if it was a movie for kids or not. There were a few ghost scenes that seemed too intense for children and some of the character building I mentioned would bore a child to death and also be above their heads. On the other hand, a good portion of the ghost scenes were just good fun. It was confusing. I'd give it 3.5/5. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CloverSi@lemmy.comfysnug.space 2 points 3 years ago I rode Haunted Mansion recently and really enjoyed it, it had lots of elements that seem like they'd work well in film - shame it was kinda wasted. I wouldn't mind a kids movie or an adult movie but that no-man's-land between them can be painful. I might give it a shot just out of curiosity when it comes to d+, thanks for giving your thoughts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) We went to see it last night and had a good time. It's no classic, but there are several funny moments. It has some pretty big issues in general though. I will say that this movie made me feel like it could be something good in the right hands, these just weren't the right hands. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CloverSi@lemmy.comfysnug.space 2 points 3 years ago That's the impression I've been getting from what I hear of it, it's really too bad. Glad you had an alright time with it at least. permalink fedilink source parent [–] IBNobody@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I walked out after an hour after realizing the movie had another hour to go. Great cast. Bad writing. The movie felt like a slog. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Good cast in a bad movie is rarely worth it. So many movies with an all star cast end up being duds. Anyway, I might watch it on Disney+ if i ever run out of things to watch, but generslly this whole making a big budget movie out of a ride concept is so dumb. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CloverSi@lemmy.comfysnug.space 3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) making a big budget movie out of a ride concept is so dumb I would agree if it wasn't for Pirates of the Caribbean lol. But yeah I'm with you, definitely not a theater-worthy movie, maybe I'll give it a shot when it's on d+. Sometimes star-studded duds can be fun to analyze if nothing else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Unpopular opinion, I thought the first Piratrs was okay. Don't think I made it through the second, and didnt watch any others. permalink fedilink source parent
