Disney’s A Christmas Carol

Review:     2.5 Stars

Not the best 3D movie I’ve seen and it really didn’t live up to a Disney film standard.  Jim Carrey stared as the main character in this animated version of  A Christmas Carol.

This film is targeted towards kids more than adults and the 3D was downplayed as it could have been much better.  The best parts of this film were already depicted in the previews  giving the illusion of a much better film.    Aside from the 3D,  what attracted me to this movie was the fact that Jim was staring;  however,  I feel that he didn’t live up to my personal expectations of  a funny Carrey movie.   It seemed as though his personality was held back by either the director, or maybe it was just a lack of effort on his part.

Final thoughts:  Half the attraction to this movie was that fact it was in 3D;  failing at even that aspect, I wouldn’t consider renting this one.  However, kids will undoubtedly enjoy watching this movie :)

  • Thanks for the comments, there always welcome :) Did It Suck really tries to give a review based on the value of the movie, which is of course is asking ‘Was it worth a ticket’. In some cases ppl will find value from a movie that I or another critic deemed not ‘worth it’. And thats OK, everyone is deferent and you can’t win’em all.

  • Hi, first I want to say awesome blog. I don’t always agree with your opinion but it’s always a interesting read.
    Keep up the good blogging.

  • A lot of useful information. Thank you!

  • I have always enjoyed this story, because it’s one of redemption, and there is no better time than Christmas to tell it. It shows people being compassionate, even in the face of someone as seemingly heartless as Ebeneezer Scrooge. I was first exposed to this story as a little boy watching the animated version with Mr. Magoo that came out in 1962 and is shown every year on TV. There are many such movies that define the season and I truly expect this to be one of them, along with Christmas Story, Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street, and It’s a Wonderful Life.
