Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

lukem-52760 I love Casper ever since seeing it in 1995 & had it on video & watched it loads of times. Casper has so much charm & magic with so much heart too,i remember always getting tears in my eyes when Casper starts to remember his childhood & when Dr.harvey finally sees the spirit of his dead wife, all BEAUTIFUL moments!!! The cast is perfect especially Dr.harvey the excellent BILL PULLMAN & Christina Ricci both fantastic in their roles & are really great performances. The FX still look AMAZING even today & the big old mansion is beautiful to look at & the detail & production design is truly OUTSTANDING!!! Casper is funny & feelgood but also like i said full of heart & magic, also a great little scene that i absolutely love is the scene when RAY STANTZ from GHOSTBUSTERS comes running out of whipstaff manor & says "who are you gonna call,some one else" lol great bit part as my favourite movie is Ghostbusters 2 i love those movies & RAY STANTZ is my favourite Ghostbuster!!! A little throwaway bit or a look closer & it could mean a shared universe? Good fun. Anyway Casper really is a childhood classic of mine & i will always have a soft spot for this charming & touching tale of a lost spirit, A really nice 90s Nostalgic film

johnbd90 Its a 90s movie, so there is a lot of nostalgia built around it, which does mean its going to be overated by some people. Never the less its a decent movie worth your time and here is why.Pros: -There is a comedic element, nothing groundbreaking. I would describe it as Bugs bunny like comedy. You do get to meet /understand the characters and empathise with Casper.The story is pretty straight forward except for some small plot and twists here and there. If you have kids they ll propably like its simplicity.There are unique sets and scenery , especially the artistic architecture of the main set. Not my thing but the effort is appreciated .The story leaves you with wanting more about what happened after the epilogue. Which is positive to my perspective. I dont want to know more of a story I didnt find engaging.The soundtract ,especially the piano song by James Horner- Caspers lullaby is unbelievably beautiful. A movie with a great soundtrack always scores higher in my book.Christina Ricci was lovely ,once again.Cons: The story is rushed in the 20 last minutes of the movie. I understand the need to make 1:30 mins movies for the sake of short attention spans and cinema theaters but I cant but to imagine how good this movie would be if they took their time and move things organically.The movie itself is great and it doesnt let you down even after 2 decades since it was released but I find it kinda corny at some points, nothing annoying but I had to share that.Bill Pulmans performance was mediocre at certain points.Anyways, enjoy this one. I know I always will.

Hitchcoc The animation and action are fine in this film, and Casper is cute. The problem is that the bad guys are just that. They could be going after virtually any property. They reminded me of Cruela DeVille and her minions. They feel there is a treasure in the house and will stop at nothing to get it. Of course, when you have ghosts who are tricksters and concerned about their haunting place, they are going to retaliate. There are some nice scenes where Casper makes contact with the young girl and they become friends. Eric Idle is pretty funny as always. But overall, I walked away thinking nothing special. Typical of many movies made at that time.

Brandon Maynard I recently re-watched this and despite the fact that its been 20 years since I originally watched this a young kid, I still loved it immensely.The story is fairly simple: a rich, hateful woman inherits a house and hopes to find treasure hidden to get rich quick. She is scared away by Casper the friendly ghost and his three uncles, who are not so friendly.So she hires a psychiatrist, Dr. James Harvey, to exorcise the ghosts. He moves in with his young daughter Kat, who still misses her mother greatly. She is scared at first, but quickly befriends Casper.Watching this movie with a friend was emotional due to the fact that he had lost his wife about 2 years prior to this film being released, so the scenes toward the end with the spirit of Dr. Harvey's wife and Casper, and then her spirit and Dr. Harvey were bittersweet and a little close to home.This was a very good, enjoyable film, and this is coming from someone who also loved the cartoon as a kid. My grade: B.
