Richard Truscott

A very good adaptation of Charles Dickens's novella and the first film I watched at the cinema, in 3D! Seeing the film in this format added to the overall enjoyment of this well-known story, especially the aerial scenes swooping over Victorian London. Jim Carrey is excellent as Scrooge! I would, however, agree with other reviews that there are elements during the film that present a darker side to some scenes, which might 'frighten' young children, thereby justifying the given PG certificate. One for the Dickens purists.
