Humbug?

I suppose its only fitting that I write this blog.
I went to see Disney's version of a Christmas Carol and had some mixed thoughts about it. If anybody has read Dicken's classic, then you can agree it is indeed, a classic.
Oh, I think I should mention that we saw this in 3-D. Now, normally anything 3 dimensional is superior to everything else but when it jacks the ticket prices up to almost 12 bucks then I question its motives. Honestly, it's so righteous in 3-D so don't be a cheapskate (talking to me mostly) and view this movie with those awesome black glasses on your face!!

OK, so the effects and graphics are INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Really the best I"ve seen in any animated movie. I seriously couldn't believe the intricate detail in every scene and wonder how long it took them to make this movie.
However, that's really the best part of the movie.
I suppose I was expecting a sort of Muppet Christmas Carol deal so naturally I thought that this was going to be a lighthearted Christmas affair but really it was dark and a little depressing. It did stay close to the book though and that was pretty cool. I'm not quite sure anything other than a new appreciation for the wonders of movie magic will be gained from this movie but I do think it's a nice way to kick off the holiday season. I'd only count this a one time view but since the animation is so stupendous, I might see it again.

If you couldn't tell by my oh so eloquent writing, I'm not much of a movie reviewer but all in all, I'd give this movie a solid B+
