I applaud New Moon and enjoyed the many improvements to this sequel. I felt the actors improved their acting and brought more emotion to their characters. Taylor Lautner proved he was ready to shine and was able to move the film along with great emotion and stellar action. The movie had some great humor, but was able to slow things down really well when an emotional scene was coming. Very exciting to see the Volturi clan and can't wait for future scenes in the upcoming films. Also, a trailer for "Remember Me" with Robert Pattinson before the movie was a nice treat. Great film that was much better than Twilight and I can't wait for David Slade's Eclipse!
I would have to say that the "Christmas Carol" was a good movie. I thought the acting was great (especially Jim Carrey!). Robert Zemeckis brought some of his own ideas into the film, but mostly kept true to the original Dickens's tale. My favorite part of this film was the "Christmas Past" Jim Carey. Jim does this thing with his head that I found myself laughing out loud! My only negative thought for this film is that parents need to be warned about the content. This is not your Mickey Mouse animated film, but rather a dark re-telling of the Christmas Classic. Just make sure to speak to your kids after the movie to see what they thought. All in all a great achievement!
I would say that this movie was almost perfect. It pretty much had everything that you would want from a movie like thrilling characters and amazing surroundings. My only problem with the movie were the really dark tones that the director used. Parents need to be warned that this isn't a typical children's movie and should not be fooled by the cartoon trailers before the movie. I think a parent needs to be present with the child, so they can both experience the movie and then talk about what they thought after the film is over. Other than that I would expect this movie to be accepting some major awards come early next year.
