    Great Holiday Movie!

    Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey was much better than I expected. Other than one short action/adventure part (not to give anything away, I thought it just didn't belong) it captured the feel of the original novel, one of my holiday favorites. A word of caution, there are a few scarier scenes for the little ones and this is not Jim Carrey's typical slapstick humor. It is worth seeing just for the breathtaking animation, I was amazed.

    Christmas Carol 3D

    It was great! I took my husband, son and daughter in law and 2 grandchildren =we all loved it! It was amazing in graphics and annimation. We truly enjoyed it - some parts were a little scary for the 8 yr old but the 5 yr old totally enjoyed it and just closed her eyes for the scary parts. (ie horses)

    Christmas Excitement for Grown-ups!

    by Pelican

    Took my 8 and 10 year old to see CC in 3D today (opening weekend). 3D effects were absolutely incredible and definitely worth the price. The well-known story of Scrooge's redemption is retold brilliantly, with Jim Carrey as the miserable old grump and Gary Oldman as gentle Bob Cratchit.

    I loved it, really I did, but it is a bit terrifying for a Disney film. My 8 year old covered her eyes several times, especially during the Ghost of Christmas Future sequence. I don't think it would be a good idea to take younger children; there are also numerous 3D effects that jump out of the screen from nowhere and scared the stew out of both my kids. Here's hoping we don't have nightmares at my house tonight.

    But true to the Dickens classic, Scrooge is redeemed at the end and I left the theatre feeling his relief and the opportunity to seize the day.

    Disney Christmas Carol 3D

    I would tell people to go and see this movie, it was visually pleasing and the 3D effects were very good. A good holiday movie for adults and kids alike.

    Not for Little Kids!

    Not for little kids - my kids are older 9, 10 & 12 so they weren't scared. But my oldest said "that's disturbing" several times during the movie. It is not your "feel-good" Christmas movie. The graphics were great, but it was kinda dark and scary without enough humor and happy scenes to balance it out. And even when they put humor in, it seemed out of place and you didn't know if you were really supposed to laugh. There were several parents that brought their little kids who were crying and saying they were scared.
    If you are going for the 3-D portion of it - the snow looked like it was falling in front of your face and you fly through the air in portions.
    This is probably more of a Halloween movie than a Christmas movie.

    A TRUE Christmas Carol

    A wonderful movie. The 3D special effects were terrific. This was not a 'cartoon', rather, one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. The so-called 'fans' and critics who think this movie was terrifying are going overboard a bit. The scary creatures or gross actions (like the broken jaw of the Christmas-past Ghost & the coiste-bodhar (death coach) only added some thrill and drama to the film and set it apart from a run-of-the-mill re-telling of an old (yet faithful) tale. There were several young children in the theater and none appeared to be frightened, crying or asking to leave. What do you think a nightmare is, anyway? The movie wasn't at all slow. It moves smoothly and quickly from one sequence to another, staying faithful to the original story. There is definitely sufficient humor; you just need to be able to see and hear it; the humor is subtle and well placed. Best of all is the musical score...TRUE CHRISTMAS CAROLS. Non-Christians will be displeased, perhaps.

    Superb in 3D!

    My wife and I have been going to 3D movies for a very long time... way before they were popular. A Christmas Carol was right on par with some of the best we've seen! We are going to see it again tomorrow. We used to travel many miles to the IMAX in Chicago to see decent 3D movies; now it is finally catching on with the public... and it is quite incredible to see quality 3D at our local theaters! They did a fantastic job with 3D rendering with this excellent movie! Additionally, it is a classic tale that can teach everyone something, time and time again! Jim Carrey does a great job in this! Fantastic!

    Christsmas Carrol 3D

    It was a good movie well put together and stayed with the original movies as much as it could.
    the 3 D effect could have beem a little better but we weren't disappointed. It kept my 3 year old in his seat the whole time which if you have kids you know is a hard thing to do. When the snow was falling was some of the best 3 D effects that they had in the movie. It really felt as and looked as if it was falling in the theater. Overall I would give it an 8 and I will probaly buy it once it comes out.

    Christmas Carol 3D

    I took my 87 year old Mother to this movie and we both loved it. I can't remember ever experiencing a 3D movie before but can't wait to do it again. The movie followed the traditional Dickens but much more effects. It was quite an experience.

    You've Gotta See This Movie - Ignore the Critics - They're Wrong

    Wow! We saw this in a 3D Imax theatre and were blown away. At the end of the movie, people clapped their approval. The 'critics' must be on a differnt planet. This movie does a very good job of reminding us of the original story with 3 ghosts, Tiny Tim, and a frumpy, nasty old man, Scrooge. They used the very best animation, and true to life characters that you forget aren't real. In fact, they finally got the lip and mouth movements synched with the words. Wow, Wow, Wow. If I were an actor, I would be worried. The voice artists will be working - but actors have gone digital. See it in 3D Imax if at all possible. What an amazing, lifelike fansasy. You'll be talking about it for a long time, It is NOT a movie for young kids. It does have a bit of a dark life to the story with ghosts and scary dreams. We heard a 4 year old crying at one point in the movie (it is PG, not G). I'd say 6 or 7 yrs or older. That's the only short coming. Otherwise it is a fabulous few hours you'll never forget

    3D Go, Movie No, So I gave it a So-So

    3D is a Go But the movie is a No! So I gave it a So-So

    If you plan to see this moive you have to see it in 3D. 3D was great Now the moive.... Well it lacked. Seeing many Christmas Carols movies this goes as one to put on the bottom. they did more High flying things for 3D and took alot of the Christmas Spirt. Just not enough Warmth in this movie. Scrooge could of spent more time learning about his past, present, and future then flying around and running from the horse. Maybe I'm just not ready for Christmas yet! I don't know.
    I would maybe of given this movie a PG13 rating. I thought there were some intense scenes. However there were lots of young kids watching and I didn't hear anybody cry so maybe I'm the wuss here. ( NO I didn't get scared.)

    Recap........ See it for the 3D but not for the moive..... I would not buy this on DVD.
