I thought the movie was sensational! While it was a true telling of the classic original, it still had enough new elements to keep me totally engaged in the story telling, without being over the top and turning it into the Jim Carrey show... When I read the reviews that didn't like it, I have to say I"m stunned and wondering what movie THEY were watching? The graphics are stunning and the 3D is amazing as I think they finally have mastered the art of 3D movie making. Simply put, I loved this movie for what it is, and what it's not.... Merry Christmas to All!
