I brought my 10-year old son and three of his classmates to this film. We sat in the front row of the 2D release. We all enjoyed it very much.
Marley and other ghosts are rendered very well and they all made us jump out of our seats.
I actually wish that the film would have been longer, because the kids wanted to see more of Scrooge and Tiny Tim together.
I came to the movie with a little trepidation, but I would go to the theater to see it again. I wouldn't buy it for home viewing unless you have a big-screen with an adequate sound system to do the movie and its effects proper justice.
