A Christmas Carol

Last night I had the opportunity to see A Christmas Carol in 3D in Eng Wah cinema, West Mall. It was my first experience watching a 3D movie and I was impressed by the 3D effect. Jimmy Carey had a really good performance as Scrooge, an old man that does not believe in Christmas and spend his life working hard and saving money. Suddenly he is visited by three ghosts representing his Christmas past, present and future. And that changes his attitude towards Christmas and life in general. I confess to be disappointed with the fact the movie was way to dark for a Christmas movie, the idea is exactly the same as in the movie 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past'. I don't who came first but the entire movie seems a complete repetition only with a different theme.

I give 3 out of 5 for this movie.
