Rosana B Um potencial incrível desperdiçado, uma lenda fantasmagórica, metalinguagem, alguns bons personagens cativantes, uma premissa promissora, entretanto a produção derrapou no besteirol adolescente misto infantil abobado, 90% do filme se passa no cinema assombrado, um prato cheio desperdiçado com criancinhas comendo pipocas e resolvendo problemas de adultos, chatinho, roteiro travado, e pouco divertido… Clichê e Fraco... Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Audience Member Taking inspiration from Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera, this one's all about a gigantic megaplex that has to deal with mysterious happenings on the night of the premiere of the film Midnight Mayhem. That's because when the original theater was demolished to build this 26-screen theater, the phantom stayed behind, now haunting this entire film. Perhaps the best part of this is Mickey Rooney as the Movie Mason, an elderly moviegoer whose family opened the original theater. He's so old that he comes to the theater every day thinking that he works there. After a career of directing Power Rangers and teen movies like Wish Upon a Star, in which Katherine Heigl and Danielle Harris switch bodies, he pretty much only makes Mormon-themed movies like Meet the Mormons and a TV series based on the Book of Mormon. For fans of this site, the highlight of this movie is when you can see one of the megaplex screens showing a horror movie called Glimpses of Genevieve which is, of course, Alice, Sweet Alice. I love that one of the most nihilistic movies ever about growing up is in a innocuous Disney film about teens. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member In Disney Channel's take on a whodunnit it ends up being a really fun and engaging film despite having a cold start in the beginning but once the film past it's exposition it takes off setting the tension and tone of the film but towards the second half of the film it finds its self taking detours from the plot and breaking the paste of the film. All in all it ends on a solid note. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member As a kid, I had seen parts of this and have memories of it. I don't know if I saw the whole thing back then. Recently I watched the whole thing and it is a load of fun, with the candy scene of people tripping everywhere to the inflatables scene. It is quite funny too, Mickey Rooney helping it be. He works wonders in this. Reccomend if you want to watch something that is a little scary and short and well its mostly family friendly. Use caution. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a genuinely entertaining, funny, smart, and heartwarming movie which made me laugh out loud multiple times, and not just because of the nostalgia factor of having watched it as a kid. It really holds up. Of course movies like this have cheesy moments, it's the name of the game, but I found it stands tiers above much of the rest in its category. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member For 2000: Pete Riley has two siblings Karen and Brian and his mother, he works at the Grande Mall at the Cotton Hills Megaplex which was established back in 1929 as the youngest assistant manager there a majority of this story is in parallel to the black-and-white version of 'Phantom of the Opera' the late and legendary Mickey Rooney is the oldest cinema-lover around as Movie Mason, his family opened the theater back in its heyday and always shows up even when he's not wanted he's just very passionate about the movies as anyone would be as the employees gear up for a big movie premiere something happens when a mysterious figure in a cape and mask begins sabotaging everything he's dubbed the Phantom of the Megaplex but who could it be? the list of suspects is large from the employees to the manager to Mason this DCOM actually might be more geared towards little kids to tweens because it takes a lot of love for the cinema plus it takes place entirely in a movie theater so it teaches the kids the magic of the industry which is always good so many of these characters play over the top versions of themselves but that's where the charm and likability comes from particularly Mickey Rooney, I mean he had a lot of star power back in the day so it makes sense for him to take a role like this this movie gave me an even deeper love for going to the movies cause in truth almost anything can go wrong whether its a technical issue with the projectors, the air conditioning or the concession stands when we go the silver screen we want to experience the magic as well as escape from the real world, being transported into many kinds of stories is what the experience is all about maybe not the best Disney Channel Original Movie but still a harmless, mystery-filled adventure the cinephiles will love this one, too Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
