Love this classic story and have every intention on seeing this version.

Zemeckis' creep-o humans are getting slightly better with each motion capture movie he does, obviously a lot of hard work goes into this, but they're still a bit too odd, and they take me out of the story.
Most of the reviews say this one adds nothing new, just comes with fancy whistles.

Like, so many people out there were trying to track this down. And it just...got delivered on a tweet. What the hell.

It was a good movie. Kinda dark for children, but the best was at the end when The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come came after him.
9/10

Yeah, why the hell did they release it so early? We haven't even had Thanksgiving yet!
That said, I do plan on seeing it. Just low on moolah at the moment.

Well I ended up seeing this last night, and found it to be very dull. It follows dickens' original story almost word for word. Except when they add dozens of needless 3-D jump scares and people sliding around the icy streets.
Surprisingly, this is a very grim and ugly adaptation. London is soot covered and filthy and some of the characters are truly grotesque. So at times it was visually interesting, other times it was like watching mannequins be moved around.
I'll stick with Bill Murray's Scrooged as my go to version of this story.

Scrooged Rocks. I will see this though as it is a good story and even if they follow it word for word it does not hange that facet - it is a good story.

9/10? I haven't seen it but that don't sound right to me.

It falls just a little short in the emotion department, but I still got enough from it to be moved.

Still need to see it. More than likely I'll be seeing this with my folks and Christmas time.
