The first half of Haunted Mansion captivates with its intriguing narrative and rich storytelling, pulling viewers into a world that feels both engaging and immersive. The pacing and developments effectively hold your attention, making you eager to see what unfolds next.

However, the second half drags a bit, stretching the film's runtime beyond what its core narrative truly requires. It feels like a good 30 minutes could have been trimmed to maintain momentum and keep the audience fully engaged.

On a positive note, the sets and costumes are nothing short of spectacular. The attention to detail is commendable, and the ensemble cast delivers impressive performances that elevate the film. For those who have visited the Disney Theme Park, the efforts to capture the essence of iconic attractions, like the Haunted Mansion, are evident and add a delightful touch of nostalgia.

Overall, while Haunted Mansion has its strengths, it ultimately lands as an average film in my book. I would rate it a solid 6/10.

I am recently going through the backlog of my Playstation 3 games and trying to finish some of the games I have purchased over the years.

The Incredible Hulk seems to be fun at first, dives into mediocre & then gets bad. Depends on the levels & challenges you will get throughout the game, you will soon realise it's the same old same old & gets repetitive very quickly.

The Story is awfully bad, presented in even a worse way possible, it's a tie-in movie game of course, I have seen the movie, I can recall on what's going on or the the story that game is trying to present, but going in without seeing the movie, you will feel lost & wouldn't care much about it anyway.

The boss fights are between average to bad. Some missions are Average, others just bore you around. I was glad I was able to finish the game, despite of it's somewhat open world & challenge after you are finished with the game, can keep you going in for longer, but I doubt many would go back to play it again.

This game had potential, there are many things that need to be ironed out & if given more time, could have resulted in a better game.

All in all this is an average effort at best, some people might find the enjoyment in it, but majority would be put off half way through the game. 5/10.

I really liked the first 2 Ghostbusters movies, the concept was new, the energy was really high, it was creative, most of all it was entertaining enough to become a classic. The Ghostbusters (2016) was just a below average movie to me.

Ghostbusters : Afterlife seems to discard the 2016 Ghostbusters movie (which it rightfully should) and continues the story after the Ghostbusters 2.

I have to say that the build up for the first hour was really slow, I watched the time and it took up almost an hour to set-up everything, before something really noteworthy started to happen, but once you are done with the 1 hour mark, the next hour is extremely entertaining. I find the ending to be done extremely well, which definitely makes me interested in seeing how it progresses next.

The movie of course is not without its faults, as mentioned previously, the build-up is really slow, some people like slow buildups, some people don't, that is definitely what is going to divide the Audience. The performances were done extremely well from the whole Cast.

This should definitely get a watch at least once, I am definitely excited to see the future of this Franchise (if there is one), hopefully they will improve upon the world they are trying to build and deliver more exciting stuff.

For me this is definitely a 6.5/10, if the first hour was balanced a bit better, I would not have any problems giving it a 7 out of 10.
