I had the pleasure of taking a gang of 11 year-olds to this and, without exception, it went down well. Zemeckis is a reliable sort and this is a solid, visually stunning adaptation of a classic story. |

Visually stunning and well paced, it didn't hit home until the end. The story is very old and very good but it is not told all that well. Also, either I forgot or am something but this one didn't really conform to the story. Not that good. |

watch the muppet one |
|
this movie basically just seemed like they were trying to show off everything that would look cool in 3D. It seemed like they spent more time on looking cool than keeping the heart of the story. In my opinion the Polar Express was a far superior film in every way.
Really this movie is only cool if see it in 3D, it shouldn't be that way. A movie should be awesome no matter how its presented. |

A Visual Masterpiece |

Okay, went to see A Christmas Carol recently in true 3D and over all was very impressed with it. However I think this was more because of its brilliant visual appeal. I t really is the finest 3D animation I have seen to date and its use of classic Christmas music really puts you in Victorian England. It sticks a lot more to the classic story than a lot of other remakes in the sense that although its a Hollywood made animation its not really a comedy made for the kids with endless joke after joke instead the director sticks to telling the story and uses some Victorian language. So the movie was good and watched it mostly like a kid when I first heard the story being told to me but throughout it I kept having this feeling of like I was waiting for something that i could not put my finger o... |

Okay adaptation of a great story. |
|
Not a truly great adaptation like so many other versions but the story itself is so great that this film is still good. The story is interesting, the Christmas music is great, and the backgrounds and non human animation looks great with a lot of mood setting. I do think it has problems though as a Christmas carol connoisseur I cannot ignore. Carrey is miscast as Scrooge and attempts an imitation of the greatest of the greatest scrooge portrayal Alastair Sim. His spirits are hit and miss the past is annoying and the present is okay. Gary Oldman is fine in voice of Marley, they should have not used is face though for Bob Crachit though. Also the 3-d stuff is unneeded is sometimes extraneous, and the 3-d faces still are strange looking, and the few gags as in bad gags all also unneeded. None... |
