Just incredibly boring. I don't see the need to make such massive changes to a classic, unless you're adding songs or Muppets. Scrooge is too young, Bob Cratchit is too confident, all the classic lines are gone. I like that the social messages were emphasised, but it's it's too dull and dour to be interesting. Why not change the title and create a new Christmas ghost story instead of rewriting a Christmas favourite?
