While this is the darkest version I've ever seen, I really enjoyed it because it Wasn't predictable.
The acting was superb, especially Guy Pierce!
The back stories were new to me and made sense to the layers of what Scrooge had become. The spirits of past, present and future were a treat. In the scene of the singers at the church, it actually made me cry; something none of the other movie versions ever did. So there's that.
In the end, you weren't sure what was going to happen! I still love the Alister Sims, the George C. Scott, the Patrick Stewart, even the Mister Magoo versions. Maybe I'll watch one of those next.
Merry Christmas...God Bless Us Everyone!
