This is a slow adaptation of the old, famous tale. Though I usually do not mind creative freedom, I now think this went too far in this movie. Characters became very different then usual and the story lacks a clear start and ending. Also several script choices gave been made that were not only unneccessary but also detract from the beauty of Dickens' tale. Do not think this is your average Scrooge movie. This is definately not a feel good film and I cannot recommend it to anyone wanting to watch a nice christmas movie.
If you like dark, disappointing movies however it may serve you well, hence 4 stars. Could have been 5 without the stupid storyline of Mary Cratchit which, imho, totally missed the boat.
