I read that this film has been labeled by parents as a "Disney Bomb" because it's too scary for their young children. Parents who take kids to see any movie need to be aware of something: if it's rated PG there... Full review

The visual effects are awesome. The story does not even compare to the original. I could understand about HALF of the movie because of the accents. I have never had this problem seeing a movie before. I think it would have... Full review

Greetings again from the darkness. This is a stunningly visual film with animation that will take your breath away. My eyes could hardly keep up with the opening credits as we "flew" through the city. However, as amazing as the film... Full review

I wonder if Robert Zemeckis weren't a filmmaker if he would have become a pilot. Look at his films and you may find a recurring shot in them, if not all then at least a good lot of them: a shot... Full review

Let's open with the good stuff: first, for the traditionalists, the movie actually follows the book fairly closely. And second, visually, the movie is absolutely incredible, even in 2-D. And Jim Carrey is actually a fairly decent voice for Scrooge. Now,... Full review

Disney's A Christmas Carol is a solid adaptation of the Charles Dickens' work, it just lacks the emotional connection inherent in some of the previous cinematic iterations of this timeless story. The story of the film is the traditional story of... Full review

A movie's trailer arguably shows the best parts, or teasing pieces of those best parts, of the subject movie, to entice us to pay out our ten bucks to see the picture. It has been a long time since I read... Full review
