Title: Dickens is spinning...
Product review: Poor Charles must be spinning in his grave. With all due respect to the other reviewers who thought this was faithful to the original story, what Christmas Carol did you read?! I don't recall Ebenezer surfing a rooftop on an icicle or rocketing into the stratosphere after snuffing out Christmas past in the Dickens classic.This is a prime example of a movie made solely to showcase 3D. Zemeckis has proven with Polar Express that he can make a great movie where the special effects are embellishments to a good story line. Not here. Lest you forget, nearly every scene is designed around showing off just how cool 3D can be, whether it's Marley spitting or an insect sized Scrooge rocketing down a drain pipe (I'm sorry, what page is that on in the book?)If you want a 3D thrill-ride, where Tiny Tim takes a backseat to the special effects, you'll love this. If you want a heart warming version of a classic tale - Alistair Sims version remains the gold standard.
