Every year at Christmas I watch a version of _A Christmas Carol_. I usually go with one I already know. This year a new verions showed up and I thought I give this a try, not having seen any trailers before. This was the first year I didn't finish the tale. To my excuse I could say this isn't even the real Christmas Carol because I barely recognize this.
This is a classic you can't just mess with. You don't put in that many garbage and get away with it. You don't change so many things and pat yourself on the shoulders for having done a great job. I won't go into details any more but let me just say this is NOT _A Christmas Carol_. You cannot even call this "The Adult Edit". In my eyes this is just smearing over Dickens legacy.
But maybe it is just a mirror of the times we're living in where you need all that profanities, sex and swearing to get people to look at this tale. If that is the case it would at least explain this version to a certain degree. It wouldn't make it it any better though.
