Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 12, 2009 5:44 pm) Isn't that an oxymoron? Oh, wait. Perhaps that was the point of the whole thing.

You were warned - DO NOT take your children to see this movie. It was way, way, WAAAAAY too scary for little kids. My 7 year old son jumped in my lap, my 10 year old daughter was in her mom's lap. Even mom freaked out, heck one scene had loud breaking glass that spooked even me. This movie should be rated PG-13 at least. Worst movie I've seen in a very long time. About 1/3rd of it was bearable, the rest of the time all 4 of us wanted to walk out (we should have). |

Replying to: kirstie_h (Nov 16, 2009 7:14 am) They only showed the lighter, non-scary parts. You'd have no idea it was such a dark and scary movie. Seriously, I have not seen a Horror film that was as scary as this was in a long time, possibly ever. This makes Scream look like My Little Pony. Caveat - if your kids like scary, dark movies, they may actually enjoy it. The animation is well done. Even then, though, I like Tim Burton films and I didn't like this. Burton is at least clever. |

Replying to: kirstie_h (Nov 16, 2009 7:14 am) In a Christmas Carol, director Zemeckis tries to "warm up Charles Dickens' holiday chesnut using state of the art technology" said Keith Phipps in the Onion. Yet the result, in which Jim Carrey not only plays Scrooge but several other characters, still feels stale. While some of the digital effects dazzle--above all a Victorian London realized in minute detail--he "never makes the case" for dusting off this holiday classic once again. Every generation gets its own rendition of the CC, said Ty Burr in the Boston Globe. A "thing of bits and bytes", the fils is also a "darkly detailed marvel of creative visualization," remaining true to Dickens' spirit even while providing an animated thrill ride. Too often though, it runs off the rails said the Wall Street Journal. This "sad excuse for family entertainment" ruins this classic with stilted, soulless animated characters. The whole thing is a "total calamity".
