Movie Reviews of Tower of Terror
Movie Review: A fun ride
Summary: 3 Stars
Disney's "Tower of Terror" offers a background story to the thrill ride at Disneyland and Disney World that will add some punch to the experience for those who've yet to experience it. For those who've already been, it will be a reminder of the highs -- and stomach-churning lows -- of their visit.
As a movie, it's a kid-friendly, not-too-scary thriller that features a young Kirsten Dunst (excellent, as usual), Steve Guttenberg in his lovable chump mode, stylish turns by the always-lovely Melora Hardin (of "The Office" and "Monk") and Scottish actor Alastair Duncan, and able support from an array of character actors. As "Q," heir to the haunted hotel, Michael McShane steals every scene he's in.
In short: an entertaining diversion boasting a suitably spooky atmosphere and convincing special effects, with just enough suspense and frights to give the kids some giggles, and a workmanlike story served by a cast that seems to be having fun.
Movie Review: Made for TV feel, but Kids LOVE it!
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been eyeing this movie for sometime, but was turned off because it was a direct to video movie. I went ahead and took advantage from a discounted price here on Amazon and bought it for the Halloween season. My son (10) would give this movie 5 stars - EASY. He LOVED this movie. He had a friend come over and they watched and now his friends want the movie. It's a kid friendly movie as you would expect from Disney and there is NOTHING that is racy or profane. Younger viewers will like it as well.
For adults, the movie is "O-kay", but it kept my interest. There was an interesting plot twist that I was not expecting, so that bumped this movie up a couple of notches for me. Anyway, if you are looking for a good, fun family flick for the Halloween season, this is a good one.

Movie Review: Guttenberg's Finest
Summary: 2 Stars
First of all, I'd like to state that my 2-star rating is based on how I would rate this movie compared to all major motion picture movies, typically catering to teens and adults. However, I'll admit that maybe that's not a fair rating, considering this movie was made for kids. As a kid's movie, and judging by how much my girls (ages 3 and 6) enjoyed it, I would give it a 4-star rating.
I mainly purchased this movie to get my girls pumped up for an upcoming trip to Disneyland. (I chose this one, because my 6-year old now meets the height requirement for the Tower of Terror ride in the California Adventure park.) I was sort of skeptical that this movie would capture the attention spans of a 3 and 6-year old for 100 minutes, but it was cheap and it had a sort of lame, kitchy appeal to me anyway, so I bought it. I underestimated how much my girls would enjoy it. Although their attention spans wandered a little during some of the boring parts, they both thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and begged to watch it again after it was over. (Sorry girls...Daddy's about gouge his eyes out.)
Now a word about the star of the movie...Steve Guttenberg. Guttenberg always seems to land all the hottest movies. He's like a magnet to cinematic masterpieces like Police Academy, Amazon Women on the Moon, Overdrive, Zeus and Roxanne, Casper: A Spirited Beginning,...the list goes on and on. Tower of Terror was his finest performance. He was absolutely horrible. Rock on Steve!
Movie Review: Tower of Terror?

This movie isn't any where near as good as the ride of the same name at Disney in LA. I can only hope that Disney made the movie about the ride and not the ride about the movie, otherwise the ride would of been very boring!!
If you want thrills, I suggest that you go visit the ride at Disney LA
