Phantom of the Megaplex

I really enjoyed this movie back when it came out and am so sad that Disney insists on making new movies every month while completely forgetting their classic older ones, which are much more enjoyable than the new cheesy ones. The plot is simple enough: A big movieplex is playing home to a huge Hollywood premier. They are still showing films (a little odd) right up until the second of the premier, but someone (a mysterious phantom...) is thwarting everything and causing general mayhem. Who is this phantom? Why is he doing this? A cute film that is predictable but plays out well, the characters are good and relatable to everyone. This film seems to have really captured what it is like working in a theater, which I am now thinking twice about doing. I loved the contemporary take on Phantom of the Opera as well. I wish they would show this more on Disney, it really is a great movie for everyone of all ages. The footage from the original Phantom movie was a nice touch.

Pete Riley is a 17-year-old who lands a part-time job at a multiplex in his neighborhood. He and his friends are excited when it's announced that the theater will play host to the premiere of a major motion picture, with a number of Hollywood celebrities in attendance. However, when the big night comes, Pete has to contend with disappearing staff, malfunctioning equipment, and a broken popcorn machine.

An incredible potential wasted, a ghostly legend, metalanguage, some good captivating characters, a promising premise, however the production skidded in the silly teen mixed childish nonsense, 90% of the film takes place in the haunted cinema, a plate full wasted with little children eating popcorn and solving adult problems, boring, blocked script, and not very fun... Cliché and Weak...

This is the funniest movie that I have ever seen! The acting is above top notch. Who needs Oscar winners, when you have David Johnston, and Mickey Rooney. How this movie disappeared off of the face of the earth, I have no idea. Good thing I filled twelve six-hour tapes with this movie, in case eleven are destroyed or something. I don't sleep! I just watch this movie. How can I bathe, eat, or re-enter society when I can watch this 24/7. I'm watching it right now. Granted, my skin is gray from lack of sunlight; and my leg muscles have atrophied, but I can't get enough of PoTM, as us Hollywood-savvy insiders call it. How can you not like this movie? "City Morgue" Priceless "What, do you want a medal?" Timeless I give this movie (Infinity^Infinity) Stars!

Phantom of the Megaplex is okay, but it can be pretty generic at least in the first half. The characters are basically a group of stressed employees and audiences. And the jokes are maybe something kids will laugh, but mostly stale for my age. On the other hand, it can sometimes have fun moments. The mystery aspect can be interesting to watch. The setups are nice and show how movie theaters work like the projector and some rooms where they would be posters and objects for movies. And the message about enjoying life and still have your job does come to the right place. This can be worth a watch mostly for kids if they ever think about working at a movie theater. Again, the movie does well explaining how theaters work. Maybe it's not a great mystery film, but at least one of the most tolerable Disney Channel original films.

This movie was a great movie. No poor acting. Not a cheap movie. Great for every one! ********** of **********!!!! The best disney movie ever. Who is the bad man? is it Kyle? Movie Mason? Or someone else? u should watch this movie if u like mystery u like this movie.
