Wendy C I understand if you're expecting the usual unicorn and glitter Christmas classic , that you most likely didn't care for this adaptation. We don't like to see truth. This version is outstanding ! If it doesn't pierce your heart or make you take stock in how we treat one another …….I guess nothing will! Incredible ! Well done ! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review John B A new way to tell my favorite christmas story. Eventhough its quite a bit darker than the original, this might be my new favorite Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review David J Amazing telling of an old classic. Acting was beyond words. Love, love, loved it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Allison C The director of this movie needs to go to therapy. Because he has a twisted soul. There are plenty of negative reviews to showcase a more vulgar adaptation of this movie hasn't existed , and maybe I don't even need to add my two cents. But this movie upset me so much I just felt like I had to warn people, Do Not Watch this abomination of Dickens's great book. Andy Serkis is a great actor and I'm not going to trash his performance. The acting, the music, the darker nature is not what kills this movie. It is the complete ruination of redemption that was the whole damn point of Dickens book! I've never seen an adaptation completely destroy and gut the entire goal of the plot. Not only do they unnecessarily throw foul, filthy moments in there that don't really belong in a Christmas film, Ebenezer Scrooge a thorough scumbag and a rapist, they deny even the chance of him trying to undo the damage. There's no joy in this world, no hope, Fezziwig and every bright moment in Scrooge's life is removed. Your left wondering what is wrong with the director that he thought this was a movie we needed to see. Especially in a world where we need some Joy. Fans of the Christmas classic need to stay away from this one butchered filth. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Forged S I'll admit one of my weaknesses during the season is the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge... Even if it seems bosses/supervisors today have forgotten the message of the story. "Profits over people," is the message of the day... but, Rather than make this a post about the cautionary tale we've seen SO many times, yet haven't learned from, I'll stick to the review... THIS IS NOT the family-friendly tale that you know. One minor change to the story created a significant impact on the tone, maybe for the worst. Admittedly, I can appreciate any project primarily focused on digging a little deeper into the charm of the Victorian-era, choosing to showcase the desolate nature of the common man, to which the desaturated, heavily vignetted imagery lends itself perfectly. The project is merely dripping with atmosphere, with a moody score and pitch perfect acting, it truly conveys a man haunted by his past decisions, consistently framing him in cold, isolated locales. Interesting take... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Heather L Didn't even finish it. This beloved story of redemption was turned to, I am not sure what, other than a disgrace, horribly unrecognizable junk. It should of been called something different.
