darkgrin Wouldn't have been this specific way, I think Zemeckis would have felt betraying the message itself... It is righfully on the(my) list: to remind me on a yearly basis who we are and how we are (cruel and egocentric race), to constantly remind me, no matter the circumstances, that redemtion is posible, achievable and soul-filling with joy.If you can treat cruely with patience and good deeds with tears, I can guarantee a repeatable, enjoyable and emotional session. Well, not me... Zemeckis can!

Sherrill777 The Bad:For some reason, I just didn't like this movie. It's hard to pin down why, since there are so many version of this tale out there and I enjoy almost all of them – why not this one? Perhaps it's the animation? The motion capture technique used should have made the animation more realistic, but really, really didn't. Perhaps it is the fact that I never end up caring for Scrooge, but also didn't like how callously he's treated. Perhaps it's the fact that Jim Carrey (an actor I don't particularly care for) seems to be every single character. Several scenes, especially "chase scenes" drag considerably as well.The Good: As with any re-telling of this famous tale, there's a fantastic moral wrapped up inside. This movie is also more authentic to the book than most, which was written as a Christmas Ghost Story, not a sweet, touching family story. I like that some of the dialogue is "Old Fashioned" - taken directly from the book.The Mom View:If I were to pick a version of this story to have my kids watch, it wouldn't be this one. For the youngest, I'd pick the animated Mickey version. Slightly older, and I'd go with Muppets. Older still and I'd pick either the 1999 version starring Patrick Stewart or the 1951 version. So while this isn't horrible, it's kind of mediocre, forgettable, and not worth the effort of finding when there are better versions out there. My overall opinion? Meh.

Jenson Green OK this is an absolute terrible film what's so great about an old man who doesn't like Christmas and bullies everyone who likes Christmas its so dark my children were scared of scrooge and it only gets worse So he sees a ghost of his dead partner Marley and started screaming at scrooge and its dark Scrooge sees three ghosts the first one was absolutely disturbing with a flame dancing what an utter crap He sees a Viking gigantic looking guy who starts showing him disturbing stuff and says that his partners son tiny tim is gonna dislike what kind of disgusting person could show that in a kids film Ghost three was just sad scary disturbing dark for my kids and the ghost showed scrogges grave and scrooge just turned into a psychotic old man crying and going noooooo And the end is crap as well this film is really not child friendly

surirockz94 Charles Dickens classic tale "A Christmas carol" was a piece of envision journey through humane and morality things. This adaptation was quite good with its delightful visual style and tone, but director Robert Zemeckis made it too slow inits pace and delivering the content.Coming to the visuals it was a motion capture computer generated image film which was an innovative and fascinating in every moment. A delightful sight of humans ethics ans perception.The actors were marvelous as they were every time, mostly Jim Carrey the comedy king who depicts the story within himself in three different roles and emotions.Portraying the aftermath of a human with three ghosts of past, present and future in one dream on the eve of Christmas night was a level of balancing the human with god making everyone happy and his life meaningful, but the storytelling of the film was a bit too slow paced which makes you impatient .....Good, can be GREAT
