Despite all the bad reviews from critics, this movie is great! The music, the acting, the story, everything is great! I've been a fan of the 2003 movie with Eddie Murphy ever since I first saw it, and I think this movie ties with that one!
No, this movie isn't a sequel to the 2003 movie (I'm glad it isn't) It tells a new story using the iconic character in a new rendition while including the ride's canon story (a little more that the 2003 version too.)
I'm a junkie for hidden details and this movie did not disappoint !!
My favorite animatronic from the ride has always been the hatbox ghost and I love how they expanded on him as a character in this movie instead of him being that one headless guy.
I'm not a big fan of Jared Leto and luckily for me he does good in this movie!! Along with the other wonderful actors.
Overall, a great movie!!
