Another Retelling?

I was leery of another retelling of a classic that i have enjoyed on the stage and yet I was stunned by what i saw.

Patrick Stewart IS Scrooge, his long time experience in a one man show has perfected his Scrooge down to the gruff bah humbug and the rusty old man cackle. Pure Enjoyment is as close to how i feel about this movie.

Not since the theater days have i found a Scrooge worthy of the part and here is one that shines above all others.

A Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge

I have been a fan of the Alastair Sim 1951 version of A Christmas Carol for many years. It is a family tradition to watch it on Christmas Eve to get in the 'spirit'. I decided to purchase the Patrick Stewart 1999 version just to see if the movie could have been improved upon. IT HAS!!
I like the concept of a younger Scrooge who really has a chance to improve his life and the lives of those around him through learning the meaning of Christmas simply because he will have more time to do something about it. Stewart's Scrooge is at least 10-15 years younger than the Sim character.
A very enjoyable update on a classic movie.

Christmas

In comparsion to the Alastair Sim & George C.Scott's versions of this Classic Christmas Movie this only has clever special effects with good not excellant acting .

A Great Version!

In my opinion, after the 1951 Alistair Sim version, this is next one of the best interpretations of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Patrick Stewart plays a wonderful Ebeneezer Scrooge, and the supporting cast is equally good. A "must have" for the true "A Christmas Carol" connoisseur.

Patrick Stewart Shines

Patrick Stewart shines in this faithful adaptation of the Dickson's classic. Stewart has a great supporting cast, especially in Bob Cratchit and family. But for the multi-talented Stewart, this is a tour-de-force. Whether you're a Patrick Stewart fan (and who isn't?) or a Christmas Carol fan, this movie is a must.
