ZEDD'S OPINION:

I think Patrick Stewart does a great job as Scrooge. The CG effects are amazing. One of the closet versions of the tale I've seen to date and very compelling. 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd, although like many adaptations of the story it is slow it still is endearing and I haven't seen a version I hated yet. So 9 STARS as well.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ STORY (One of the closet versions I've seen yet.)
+ CAST (The cast does an amazing job.)
+ ATMOSPHERE (The atmosphere works well.)
+ EFFECTS (The effects are amazing.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- SLOW (Like many of the adaptations it's a tad slow at times.)

...AND FINALLY...

- FAN BASED (If you aren't big on this story, then this isn't for you.)
