I went to the premier last night and really enjoyed it. I feel like the acting has improved a lot since the first movie and though they left some things out that were in the book, it flowed together nicely. Overall, I was impressed!
I loved the movie! It was not the feel good Christmas movie I expected, but a wonderful version of the original story by Charles Dickens. However, I think its a bit heavy for the younger viewers and would not recommend taking anyone under 7 or 8 to see it.
