Critique de Harry Knowles d'AICN, morceaux choisis :

Harry loved Zemeckis' A CHRISTMAS CAROL, but with mild trepidations...

I can say, with absolute certainty that I've never seen A CHRISTMAS CAROL produced like this. Not only was this IMAX 3D, but the camera moves and tracks with the characters as though it itself was a spirit.

The three ghosts of CHRISTMAS' past, present and future are pretty damn spectacular.... as are how they show Scrooge his past, present and future.

I found the script exemplary. Written for the screen by Robert Zemeckis himself, and it is perhaps the most literate telling of A CHRISTMAS CAROL that I've seen...

The reason to go is that this is a tremendously entertaining and viscerally dynamic telling of A CHRISTMAS CAROL that has atmosphere, scares and solid performances throughout. And one of the great Alan Silvestri scores.


Après, y a évidemment une grosse réserve, la performance capture :
So where does Jim Carrey and the performance capture lay?
Well, frankly... it is amongst the very best. I guarantee that had Jim Carrey gone through the BENJAMIN BUTTONS process like Brad Pitt.... and had this film been made that way - we'd all uniformly be talking about this being an Academy Award worthy performance. The Scrooge character in the film looks quite amazing - but it is just a bit lacking. It just doesn't come to life like that.

God, I would kill to see the money put on screen here, but with the ambition of making it look real. To me, the "Performance Capture" medium should be used incorporation with every other technique out there... especially live action. The fact is that in this medium - animators are king. This medium is about exaggeration, stillness and subtlety. But you compare the "performance" of Tiny Tim's face in this - then compare it to the "performance" of Russell in Pixar's UP - and you'll get what I'm talking about. For example... Scrooge's body and costume design were absolutely fantastic... But as he crept along the cobblestone streets for his fateful meeting with his ol' partner... while creepy, I found myself wanting that character to move with more gravity, as though life was oppressive to him. That's one of those things that animators can do in animation, that performance capture merely renders as a normal motion, not an extraordinary motion.

I know that's an awful lot of criticism for a positive review, but the story is so well done, the voice work and the overall look is unique enough, while not entirely satisfactory - that I can't help but love it. ESPECIALLY due to the stunningly wonderful score by Alan Silvestri which made me want to go caroling immediately after.

Ça ressemble à ta future critique: "ouais c'est pas mal, c'est blindé d'erreurs, la technique quand même n'est pas parfaite, 6/6"

Confirmation dans la critique de Drew McWeeny (mitigée/positive) que les bande-annonces sont mensongères :

If you've seen the trailers or the posters, you've seen that image of Scrooge whizzing around on the candle snuff, and no doubt you've worried that the whole film is going to be souped up and loud and filled with things flying at the camera to show off the 3D. To the credit of all involved, that's really not the case. You've seen the most "spectacular" moments now, and although I'm not sure the movie needs them, it also doesn't really suffer for their presence.

Enflammance :

This is the point at which Disney may allow itself a sigh of relief: I loved it. It's not just good, it's very good -- far, far better than I thought it possibly could be. Robert Zemeckis adapted the material himself, and he has a pretty clear understanding of it.
I really enjoyed BEOWULF and the majority of CASTAWAY, but I'd say this is the best Zemeckis film since CONTACT.

JoBlo parle également d'un bon film, d'une bonne adaptation, d'un Carrey génial et à l'animation superbe mais de persos secondaires à l'animation plus faible.

CHUD par contre nuance en parlant d'un film moyen, avec un poil trop de rollercoasters et un fond trop superficiel mais une animation bonne.
