Christmas Carol

Let me start with I'm a Disney World nut, my wife is a Christmas Carol nut. She picked me up at 3:30 yesterday after work (movie theater is 1/2ml. away). She wanted a good seat for the 4:30 show. We sat down as the credits from the fist show were running. The family in front of us (still watching the credits, told us "It was great" and "Were going to see it again!" Well there not the only one's, we'll be back to see it again too! That's all I need to say.

We saw it last night. We are not Jim C. fans. I have read the story many times and have many renditions of the movie. We both were awed by this movie. We will buy it on Blu-Ray when availabe. We saw it in 3-D. The movie stuck close to the story. DH and I both thought that this version was as good as the Alastair Sim version, which is our favorite version.

We saw it last night and thought it was good; however our 4 year old was very scared at times throughout the movie. The 3rd ghost was especially scary for him. Our older boys (7 and 12) and their friends loved it.

I love all Christmas Carol movies. Looking forward to seeing it soon.
However, DD (adult), saw it yesterday and she was under whelmed.
"I like the Muppets Christmas Carol better" is what she said That has always been her favorite though.

We saw it last night and the effects were amazing, great movie however my kids, ages 7 and 9 thought it was just ok. I think movie is geared towards older kids.

I saw it last night and didn't love it. It was barely ok. So as you can see I was very disappointed.
