This movie stays very true to the book and the original film with Alistair Sim. I even found myself reciting some of the lines with Scrooge. I loved it and my son loved it. Some of the ghost scenes were a wee bit spooky but it was part of what made the movie so great. I'd see it again.
This movie was phenomenal. I took my son and thought I could "sit through it". I couldn't have been more wrong. I was engrossed in the movie and at one point found myself shout out "GET HIM!" It left me wishing the next installment was due out by summer time! I recommend this movie to everyone. Don't miss it. It's wonderful.
