Tom R 4d As someone whos only seen a play of this story, i thought this was a really solid adaptation, patrick stewart is a great actor and the supporting cast all were perfect. A welcome addition to any christmas lineup. See more John D @Moxeejohnny Dec 20 A fresh look on a classic. Beloved version with Sir Patrick Stewart. Saw it upon release on TNT in 1999. One of the best versions I have seen (I have seen 5 versions). 1984 version is pretty good considering an American played scrooge. See more Emily C @christmascarol99hater Dec 14 The ghost of Christmas past really ruined the vibe. Why was he scarier than the ghost of Christmases yet to come? Who gave him the makeup? The hair? He was so raggedy looking. And then the clerk. Why was he calling his wife "mother"? Vibes were off, man. See more Mark J 11/18/2024 Big fan of this version of Scrooge, sadly not that much of a fan of anyone else. Still worth seeing this as a good adaption. See more Rob V @areveedubs 06/17/2024 One of the best iterations of A Christmas Carol that I’ve seen, and there are a lot of them. Patrick Stewart makes this one excellent. His live, one-man show of A Christmas Carol sets him up for greatness in this movie-version made by Turner Network Television. The supporting cast are fantastic as well, and the pace is great — the scenes with Scrooge and Belle as youths don’t drag on like they do in most versions. Would Charles Dickens appreciate this one? Who knows? I don’t really care. I like it. See more Richard K 12/27/2023 Short of live theater, this is the absolutely best adaptation of the Charles Dicken's classic that combines outstanding direction, costumes, staging, and effects with an absolutely brilliant performance by Patrick Stewart superbly supported by the rest of the cast. Not only do the wit and humor of Dicken's old English finally come through with sparkling clarity and depth of meaning for us modern speakers, but the ease with which Scrooge, Marley, and the various ghosts and others provide a real, palpable, and relatable experience that effectively transports the viewer to that very same time and place for a Christmas experience like no other! Definitely a must-see for any fan of Dickens and any lover of Christmas! See more Read all reviews
