Evening Standard - Derek Malcolm | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Watch the opening few minutes, where Zemeckis and his team set the scene, and you can only wonder. Watch the last sequence, which ends the abruptly, and you may curse. Still, in between, there are many wonders and a series of weathered and withered faces of which Dickens himself would have been proud.' |
|
Time - Richard Corliss | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'While the 3-D gimcrackery should keep the kids happy, Carrey's knack for finding character within caricature makes this an experience that probes and touches as much as it pokes and nudges.' |
|
New York Times - A.O. Scott | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'I mean the source material, without a corporate possessive attached to it ? remains among the most moving works of holiday literature, and Mr. Zemeckis has remained true to its finest sentiments. He is an innovator, but his traditionalism is what makes this movie work.' |
|
The Financial Times - Nigel Andrews | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Dickens purists can stay away. Others can feel free to sample the rollicking aerial views of Victorian London, the droll and scary elasticity of Carrey - animation reconfirming what he does anyway - and Zemeckis's brave decision to keep much of Dickens's original dialogue.' |
|
The Daily Mail - Chris Tookey | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Commendably faithful to Dickens' |
|
The Independent - Anthony Quinn | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'The depth of detail impresses, even if the last-gasp conversion to altruism seldom does.' |
|
Time Out - Wally Hammond | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'the film suffers from is a want of common comfort, despite its nominally redemptive, happy ending' |
