Excellent voice work from its cast, and better animation than Zemeckis' previous "The Polar Express" add to this fantastic adaptation of Charles Dickens' timeless novel.

This movie is really dark for a christmas movie but the movie has great visual effect's and really upseting parts in the movie that I did not know that the movie can pull of, this is not my favorite christmas movie but it does show the dark side behind christmas.

Decent adaptation of the classic story. If 3D animation is your thing, then this is quite a treat.

I appreciate the CGI and the amazing voice talent of the movie (Jim Carey blew me away, and I usually can't stand him). I also appreciated how they actually included many of the smaller details of the book. I don't know if I would necessarily recommend this movie for families with smaller children. It was actually kind of dark in my opinion.

Doesn't do anything different, plot-wise, from the often-told Christmas story, but the visuals are incredible and beautiful, at times, and Jim Carrey gives a standout vocal performance.

Decent 3D, but not at all engrossing, and the ghosts leading the story are incredibly dull and kind of weird. Lame.

I had the pleasure of taking a gang of 11 year-olds to this and, without exception, it went down well. Zemeckis is a reliable sort and this is a solid, visually stunning adaptation of a classic story.

Visually stunning and well paced, it didn't hit home until the end. The story is very old and very good but it is not told all that well. Also, either I forgot or am something but this one didn't really conform to the story. Not that good.

this movie basically just seemed like they were trying to show off everything that would look cool in 3D. It seemed like they spent more time on looking cool than keeping the heart of the story. In my opinion the Polar Express was a far superior film in every way. Really this movie is only cool if see it in 3D, it shouldn't be that way. A movie should be awesome no matter how its presented.
